Engine Upgraded China Destroye
次 【If the Type 055 destroyer is replaced with two CGT40 gas turbine engines, what are the possible implications?
Some people have stated on the Internet that such a modification might make this 10 thousand-ton destroyer advance into a medium-sized arsenal piece,
which in turn would be able to carry more missiles. So is this claim accurate? Before the video starts, please like the attention, let's continue to look down.
The first thing to know is that the Type 055 destroyers are currently fitted with domestically produced GT25000 gas turbines, each of which has a power of about 24 megawatts.
According to the standard configuration, each destroyer is equipped with four such gas turbines. However, with the advancement of technology,
the newly developed CGT40 gas turbine has a power of 40 MW, which not only provides stronger kinetic energy and increases the range,
but also has a detachable design, making maintenance and repair more convenient. Such technological advances could allow the potential of the Type 055 destroyer to be further unleashed.
In addition the displacement of the new batch of Type 055 destroyers is expected to be raised from 12,500 tons to 18,000 tons. What will this mean?
It not only means that it will be able to carry more missiles and weaponry, it also means that its overall combat capability will be significantly improved,
and with the replacement of the CGT40 gas turbine, the Type 055 destroyer can be fitted with only two units instead of the previous four. This will not only save space,
but also provide more space for equipment and weapons storage. This makes a lot of military fans and experts excited,
they predicted that its 055 destroyer will become a real sense of the Chinese arsenal ship, its firepower and combat capabilities will be greatly enhanced. In the international arena,
the 055 destroyer has been some western countries called China cruiser. This analogy is not unreasonable. The U.S. Ticonderoga-class guided-missile cruiser, for example,
despite its displacement of only 10 thousand tons or less, but the combat power of the 055 destroyer is considered to have surpassed it.
Especially in terms of electronic systems and weapon configurations, the Type 055 destroyer has demonstrated its technological prowess that is one era ahead of its time.
Of course, all these upgrades and modifications are to enable the Type 055 destroyer to better fulfill its mission to protect the carrier battle group,
maintain the security of the sea borders as well as carry out a variety of complex maritime combat missions. In the future,
if it is really equipped with the CGT40 gas turbine, we can expect the Type 055 destroyer to play an even more important role in the naval force,
and to become a highlight in the process of modernization of China's naval forces. What do you think about this? Welcome to leave a message
in the comments section to discuss, we will see you next time.
