[Reporter Tu Jumin/Taipei Report] The Navy's "Dunmu Fleet" is open to the public at 7 ports in China from now until the 27th. It is expected to depart for long-distance training at the end of the month. ”) will still be with the team this year, and the 6 ships currently in service will be upgraded one after another.

The free "Military and Military Channel" takes you to explore the performance and strength of the Navy's "French Small Steel Cannon" in the form of graphic military news.

The Kangding-class frigate (Lafayette) is the first combat ship in the world to adopt the "full stealth configuration" design.

Practical and handsome full stealth configuration

Many people's first impression of the Kangding-class frigate is its novel streamlined appearance. This is not just a show of handsomeness, but a "full stealth configuration" that effectively reduces the radar reflection cross-sectional area. This design was unique in the world at the time , characterized by less edges and corners, a simple superstructure, and the main armaments are buried in the hull, and a large number of composite materials are used to build the ship to enhance the effect of absorbing and reflecting radar waves.

Kangding-class frigates are currently equipped with "Haijianshu" anti-aircraft missiles (pictured), and will gradually enter the factory for replacement with "Haijian II" anti-aircraft missiles starting this year.

A great leap forward in air defense combat power is imminent

After seeing the appearance and design of the ship, I then turned my attention back to the front of the hull. The main anti-aircraft weapon of the Kangding-class ship is a 4-unit "Haiyishu" anti-aircraft missile launcher installed in the B gun position, but this This old American missile with a range of only 8 kilometers has a significant generation gap with other surface ship anti-aircraft firepower. Its prominent structure even destroys the ship's stealth performance, and it has also been nicknamed "small toothpick".

Therefore, from last year to 2030, the Navy has compiled a budget of more than 43.1 billion yuan to upgrade the combat systems, radars and anti-aircraft missiles of the six Kangding-class ships. The "Sword II" missile replaces the "Sea Tree" missile currently in service.

This upgrade plan will be led by the "Xining Ship" with the hull number 1203.

The Kangding-class frigate is loaded with "Xiongfeng II" anti-ship missiles, which are half-buried in the superstructure of the hull.

Moderate anti-ship firepower

Compared with the much-discussed anti-aircraft firepower, the anti-ship combat power of the Kangding-class ships appears to be quite satisfactory. Turning our attention to the superstructure of the hull, the ship is equipped with a total of 8 national-made "Xiongfeng II" subsonic anti-ship missiles, which are packed separately. Install launchers in 2 seats of 4.

The range of the Xiong Er missile is about 150 kilometers, and the flight speed is about Mach 0.85 (about 1041 kilometers). Its low-altitude sea-skimming flight characteristics can greatly reduce the reaction time of enemy ships.

In addition, the bow of the Kangding-class ship is equipped with a MK-75 naval gun with a diameter of 76 mm, a phalanx cannon, and two MK32 torpedo tubes. After the air defense capability is significantly improved, the overall combat power will tend to be balanced.

The Kangding-class frigate uses the "DRBV-26D" Jupiter II air search radar as the "eyes" for monitoring enemy aircraft.

Combat system and main radar

Compared with the main armament of the "International Brand", the combat system, radar and fire control system of the Kangding-class ships are all French-made. The Kangding-class ships use the "TAVITAC-2000" combat system, which is more integrated than the Chenggong-class and Jiyang-class frigates. It is even higher, and the establishment of 176 officers and soldiers is also the lowest among the three types of ships.

The most distinctive "eye" is the "DRBV-26D" Jupiter II air search radar, with a maximum detection range of 360 kilometers and a maximum speed of 15 revolutions per minute.

The flight deck of the Kangding-class frigate is equipped with an "S-70C" anti-submarine helicopter.

Hangars, flight decks and anti-submarine capabilities

Compared with the French Lafayette ship, the Kangding-class ship has a wider flight deck and hangar, and the main carrier aircraft is an S-70C helicopter.

The Kangding-class ships are also equipped with Spherion-B intermediate frequency active/passive sonar and ATAS (V) 3 active/passive towed array sonar, which have certain anti-submarine combat capabilities.

Although the top speed of the Kangding-class frigate is not fast, its fuel consumption is excellent, and its cruising range can exceed 16,000 kilometers.

power

The Kangding-class ship uses four "12-PA6-280 STC" diesel turbine engines. Although the maximum cruising speed is only 25 knots (about 46.3 kilometers), it is slower than the Jiyang-class frigate that is over 50 years old, but the excellent The fuel consumption performance enables it to have a longer range. If it sails at a speed of 12 knots (about 22 kilometers) per hour, the cruising distance can be as long as 9,000 nautical miles (about 16,668 kilometers).

The Kangding-class frigate, a first-class navy ship, has multiple missions, including Taiwan Strait reconnaissance, air defense, anti-ship, anti-submarine, escort, and fisherman protection.

task positioning

The Kangding-class ship is a first-class ship of the navy. Although the displacement does not reach 4,000 tons, it still has independent combat capabilities. After the "Guangda Xing 28" incident in 2014, he and the navy and sea patrol fleet advanced to the south of the 20th parallel north latitude to conduct a "fishing protection exercise". The heavy duty of naval ships.
