美海军添一新舰比054A贵 战力却和056相当被指战五渣

LCS项目要黄!美国海军不知道濒海战斗舰到底能干啥1/9
查看原图图集模式
据The Drive网站4月12日消息:美国海军目前已经有近十艘的LCS濒海战斗舰开始服役,但对该舰的评价却相当的低,文章甚至认为该级别战舰就是一个相当失败的计划,根据美国海军的计划2018年居然没有一艘濒海战斗舰可以部署到海外基地。(烽火军事)


地主家也没余粮,现在除了伯克级之外,饱受争议的濒海战斗舰(LCS)是美国海军为数不多仍在建造中的新舰了,这不,中国的农历新年假期前夕,又一艘LCS交付给了美国海军。
据洛克希德马丁公司对外披露,日前美国海军已经接收了自由级LCS“比林斯”号(USS Billings ,LCS-15 ),洛马公司在位于五大湖的美国威斯康辛州马里内特的FMM造船厂举行仪式,迎接这艘新舰正式“从军”,比林斯号是第17艘交付给美国海军的LCS,也是第8艘“从军”的自由级。

比林斯将于今年晚些时候正式举行服役仪式,它的母港将位于美国东海岸佛罗里达州梅波特海军基地,和密尔沃基号(LCS 5),底特律号(LCS 7),小石城号(LCS 9),苏城号(LCS 11)以及威奇塔号(LCS 13)被部署在濒海战斗舰第二中队,濒海战斗舰第一中队则位于美国东海岸的加州圣迭戈。

由于上世纪70-80年代建造的51艘佩里级护卫舰全部退役,美国海军对LCS的需求是十分紧迫的。
LCS主打濒海作战,特别是对伊朗这样拥有大批小艇,能够在近岸发起“艇海战术”等非对称打击的潜在对手来说,速度快而灵活的LCS比伯克级更能胜任,目前FMM造船厂里,有6艘自由级处于不同的建造、舾装和航行测试状态,洛马计划今年再交付自由级的9号舰,即印第安纳波利斯号(LCS 17)。

除了单体半滑行船型的自由级之外,LCS项目还有三体船型的独立级,这两型LCS都拥有极高的航行速度,最高航行速度都达到40节以上,同时采用了模块化的“任务包”,可灵活在水面战、反水雷战、反潜战任务中“切换”,但它的武备非常弱,由于“网火”多用途导弹取消,LCS连反舰导弹都没着落,对海只能靠一门57mm的MK110舰炮,防空更是靠“拉姆”和“海拉姆”和2门30mm副炮,被外界指责是“战五渣”。

关键是,LCS单价不便宜,两型舰单价都超过了3.6亿美元,折合24亿人民币,被认为超过了中国海军主力的054A型护卫舰,但后者却是具备正儿八经区域防空和远程反潜能力的护卫舰,LCS整体上火力投射能力只和中国海军的056系列轻型护卫舰相当,只不过船体平台更加先进一些。

因此,美国海军也打算买了32艘两型LCS后,赶紧新买FFG(X)型护卫舰,大致是LCS加装了相控阵雷达和MK41垂发,回归正牌“护卫舰”的“拨乱反正”产品,但这10多年的弯路,再要追回来恐怕不是那么容易,毕竟FFG(X)在美国海军繁琐的招标体系里,连选谁都还不知道呢。(作者署名:我是尤里 微信公众号:wulongfangwu1 )


The US Navy adds a new ship that is more expensive than the 054A.

The LCS project is yellow! The US Navy does not know whether the Littoral Combat Ship can dry up 1/9.

According to The Drive website on April 12th: The US Navy has nearly 10 LCS Bohai combat ships in service, but the evaluation of the ship is quite low. The article even believes that this class of warships is a rather unsuccessful plan. According to the US Navy's plan, in 2018, no Littoral Combat Ship could be deployed to overseas bases.

The landlord’s family has no surplus. Now, besides the Burke class, the controversial LCS is one of the few new ships that the US Navy is still building. This is not the eve of the Chinese Lunar New Year holiday. Another LCS was delivered to the US Navy.

According to Lockheed Martin, the US Navy has received the free-level LCS "USS Billings" (LCS-15), a FMM shipyard in Marinette, Wisconsin, USA. A ceremony was held to greet the new ship officially “from the army”. The Billings was the 17th ship to the US Navy and the eighth free class.

Billings will officially hold a service ceremony later this year. Its home port will be located on the US East Coast Florida Mayport Naval Base, and the Milwaukee (LCS 5), Detroit (LCS 7), Little Rock (LCS). 9) The Sioux City (LCS 11) and the Wichita (LCS 13) were deployed in the second squadron of the Littoral Combat Ship, and the first squadron of the Littoral Combat Ship was located in San Diego, California on the east coast of the United States.

Since the 51 Perry-class frigates built in the 1970s and 1980s were all retired, the US Navy's demand for LCS was very urgent.

The LCS is mainly engaged in the operation of the Bohai Sea. Especially for potential opponents such as Iran who have a large number of small boats and can launch asymmetric attacks such as "boat tactics" in the near shore, the fast and flexible LCS is more capable than the Burke level. At present, six free grades in the FMM shipyard are in different construction, armor and navigation test conditions. Loma plans to deliver the free-grade 9th ship, the Indianapolis (LCS 17), this year.

In addition to the free stage of the single semi-sliding ship type, the LCS project also has a separate class of the trimaran type. Both types of LCS have extremely high speeds of navigation, with a maximum speed of more than 40 knots, while adopting a modular " The mission package can be flexibly "switched" in surface warfare, anti-mine warfare, and anti-submarine warfare missions, but its armaments are very weak. Due to the cancellation of the "netfire" multi-purpose missile, LCS has not even landed anti-ship missiles. It can only rely on a 57mm MK110 gun. The air defense is relying on "Lam" and "Halam" and two 30mm auxiliary guns. It is accused by the outside world of "War Five Residues".

The key point is that the unit price of LCS is not cheap. The unit price of the two types of ships exceeds 360 million US dollars, equivalent to 2.4 billion yuan. It is considered to be more than the 054A frigate of the Chinese navy. However, the latter is equipped with air defense and remote areas. The anti-submarine frigate, LCS's overall firepower projection capability is only comparable to the Chinese Navy's 056 series light frigates, but the hull platform is more advanced.

Therefore, the US Navy also intends to buy 32 two-type LCS, and quickly buy a new FFG (X) frigate, roughly LCS installed phased array radar and MK41 hangs, return to the original "frigate" "disorder" products However, this decade-long detour, I am afraid it is not so easy to chase it back. After all, FFG (X) is not known in the US Navy's cumbersome tendering system. (Author's signature: I am Yuri WeChat public number: wulongfangwu1)
