– the most advanced low noise upgrade mysterious “Sea Wolf”
host labor Chunyan:
recently, the U.S. Navy’s Seawolf “attack nuclear submarines completed the upgrade, the upgrade took 31 months total cost of $ 280 million, sources said, “Sea Wolf” perhaps in the upgrade which also installed some special intelligence mission equipment, at present, “the sea wolf No. “has returned to the army, why was the speculation that the mysterious, which is what a nuclear submarine? Upgrade to hide what secret? At present, the status of the United States and submarine deployment how to continue to ask our two experts.
First we look at “Sea Wolf”, the “Seawolf number” is the first ship of the Seawolf-class nuclear submarine service in 1997, we received information is said to be “sea wolf “class a total of only made three,” Seawolf “class” Sea Wolf “in the end, what’s special about it? Speculation that is so mysterious?
is commented: “Sea Wolf” is why the mystery?
Yin Zhuo:
First, it can be said that the U.S. cost of the most aggressive nuclear submarine, was noise is the lowest, it should be it is below the background noise , so its detection is very difficult, precisely because of this, since the beginning of the world, the world’s basic sonar detection equipment from the passive detection are changed to take the initiative to detect, because of lower than the background noise so that nuclear submarines , so any passive noise have no big effect, only a few kilometers within the past hundreds of kilometers, is now reduced to only a few kilometers.
“Sea Wolf No.” The improvement spent a lot of price, the main change is the detection equipment such as what you just said, this is mainly in its periscope, it increases the infrared day and night, instant access to the surrounding intelligence.
the past we all know looking at the submarine, it periscope sticking out of turn, and now it is a high-precision video, two seconds a lap of not more than down, all the images analysis, in which the analysis is finished, you want to see go out to a circle, a circle is two seconds, any anti-submarine equipment is difficult to find it.
expert opinion: “Sea Wolf” in the investigation of communication weapons a significant improvement
Song Xiaojun:
second, it is water under the communications equipment, central station because the network has been transferred to the underwater, underwater a set of networks, underwater acoustic network equipment. Hydroacoustic network equipment with the outside to communicate past the buoy antenna exposed.
third, it launched cruise bombs, was originally a single tube of twelve, into a large diameter tube, the equivalent of the U.S. ballistic missile submarines converted into cruise missile submarines 154 into a kind of rough tubes is still 12, but this efficiency is much higher.
Moderator:
“Seawolf number” so advanced, why was the United States not made while several do?
Song Xiaojun
:
the United States that of course is mainly against the Soviet Union’s, was in the Arctic Ocean under the high-speed nuclear submarines. Said at that time, the Reagan era set the, is the 1985 U.S. military accounted for 6% of GDP, this may is the history of the United States when the highest set of, but later to the 1991 Soviet Union disintegrated, after the disintegration of 56 days U.S. Secretary of Defense Dick Cheney took the original plan 29 cut, and even behind the two did not pass.
Later, General Dynamics, the company donated to the Democratic Party for many, so Clinton again the second, the third ship team out, but there is a limit, is $ 7.2 billion three. In this case, the “Sea Wolf” is very expensive, to say the least, it is the annual maintenance costs are based on 1998 U.S. Audit Bureau counted 41.3 million U.S. dollars, in fact, than now in front of the Los Angeles-class “and behind “Virginia-class” to be expensive.
and the first one “Sea Wolf”, the second ship “Virginia” and the third ship of Jimmy Carter “did not join the military series is the development of submarine in the United States alone, there is no long-term let it run around.
Moderator:
why, because the run up too expensive?
expert opinion: “Los Angeles-class submarine is not enough” “Sea Wolf” high-priced battle
Song Xiaojun:
too expensive because the run up to mean that precisely Los Angeles is not enough, the equivalent of a taxi Beverly is not enough, the home possession of the BMW out, this only shows that too many of his tasks to be performed, now the F-22 has also been sent to the UAE, followed by a bunch of wait on it, “Sea Wolf-class” is not, because, after all, you want the election, you must come up with a point of hard dick, so weak President Barack Obama appears to be a powerful point. Therefore, in this case, Obama is no way to put the home possession of this, but maintenance costs are too expensive.
Moderator:
you just said, too many tasks now performed, even the F-22 was sent to the UAE to go, “Sea Wolf No. upgrade is finished, will be sent to where it will be deployed to the Pacific side?
Yin Zhuo:
this possibility, because the “Sea Wolf” not yet out as a combat deployment, as a combat deployment, there may be on the Pacific direction, because the direction of the Pacific not only China, as well as Russia, should be said that the Seawolf class “highly targeted ballistic missile submarine, nuclear submarine attacks on other countries, including in other countries like the aircraft carrier large amphibious ships are a huge threat.
Moderator:
U.S. nuclear submarine in the end is what?
Song Xiaojun:
U.S. get rid of the original Seawolf-class, put the original “Sea Wolf-class” technology has moved to a Virginia class “,” Virginia “with a large number of civilian standards and civil electronic products, so that the price down, and it is in the U.S. nuclear submarine which, belonging to the model, relatively inexpensive, in fact, over 20 billion dollars a this case, the next generation of nuclear submarines, is now used “Virginia-class”, but it steel is relatively poor, than the “Sea Wolf”, “Sea Wolf” is able to dive 600 meters is very hard, this steel to do, but very difficult welding high maintenance costs.
So now the “Sea Wolf” is mainly for show, it is likely to East Asia, because it is most concerned about the South China Sea is what it will become China’s ballistic missile nuclear submarine launch site, it is possible, the Congress in the hype of this thing, then “Sea Wolf” sent over, and said that I regard the “Sea Wolf” sent over, or is this place in the Pacific.
comment is: America adjust submarines deployed for what consideration?
Moderator:
Leaving aside the “Sea Wolf” in the end will come, before you see the U.S. Department of Defense have a clear distribution of nuclear submarines in the future, the future is dominated by the Pacific, at least 60% of the submarines in the Asia-Pacific region are to be deployed in the Pacific, with the former Cold War era just tune a , a former Atlantic-based, it is now 60% on the Pacific. how to see it on the submarine deployment adjustment?
Yin Zhuo:
this from Bush began a global strategic plan to adjust gradually from the direction of the Atlantic, especially the main battle forces of the Navy began to transfer to the Pacific direction, from Bush began, for example, has invested over 100 billion, nearly 20 billion to Guam, Guam, which include nuclear submarines, was originally three, to be added to the six attack submarines, the other carrier, etc. 60% of the submarines, including 60% 60% next point of attack submarines, 50 while several, 50-55, and now maintain not so much, but it is 60% in the Pacific direction.
14 ballistic missile submarines, of which about eight in the Pacific direction, which is basically for the calculation of 60%, probably is so. major deployment of the main directions in the Pacific.
Moderator:
good, this topic here, “global vision” to continue to wait.
Sea Wolf “designed for the Cold War born in the vagaries of the situation in the South China Sea today, with the adjustment of the U.S. Asia-Pacific strategy, the” Seawolf number “is not appear in the Western Pacific, a suspense Thank you for watching today’s program Good-bye, thank you two
