Can the old Type 053 frigates still play a role in modern naval warfare?

Strictly speaking, this type of ship is not capable of playing a role in modern naval warfare. The performance of the anti-ship missiles equipped with this type of ship has lagged behind, and it is very vulnerable to enemy interception and interference; The ship's air defense only relies on 100mm high-level dual-purpose guns and artificially operated small-caliber anti-aircraft guns, which are completely unable to intercept enemy anti-ship missiles, and the air defense self-defense capability is poor (after all, this type of ship is designed mainly for sea control, thus diluting air defense and anti-submarine capabilities); Anti-submarine only relies on fixed anti-submarine rocket launchers and deep-shell launchers, which are short-range anti-submarine **, if this type of ship is put into the battlefield, it is very easy to become the target of enemy submarines. In addition, this type of ship has been in service for too long, its power system has gradually aged, and its speed will gradually decline.

If this type of ship is allowed to participate in modern naval warfare (especially without air defense ships), it will become a living target for the enemy.

Yes, early warning and containment from the periphery. However, the possibility of being cannon fodder is very high.

This depends on how strong the naval battle is, and the role of the war of different opponents is different, but it is certain that there will be a role, and now the war is a system, if there is a good system, the role of 053 is still very large.

It's still okay to use it for coastal defense.

I can't think of any use other than being a target.

1. Different volumes: 054A is a large frigate, 056 is a corvette, the degree of advancement and volume are 054A superiority, from the perspective of equipment, 054A air defense missile ** than the former Soviet Union's SA-N-7, vertical launch of 32 spare bombs, large volume.

2. Different space: 054A can have more space and power than 056, and can be equipped with more powerful marine electrical equipment. There are 8 054A anti-ship missiles, as well as *** library, and the latest model is also equipped with towed array sonar.

3. Different tasks: The tasks performed by 056 and 054a are different. The main role of the 056 is to patrol the near sea, to replace the previous submarine hunters, or as the command ship of the 022 missile boat unit.

054A is the equivalent of the Perry class in the United States, serving as a fleet frigate in a large combined formation.

Corvettes for coastal defense, used instead of . It can perform coastal defense tasks alone or as a missile boat command ship. The overall performance is medium among frigates of its class. The main firepower is equipped with:

1. Anti-ship missiles * 4, 76 naval guns, 30 single-barreled naval guns * 22, equipped with PL3000 anti-aircraft missiles, 8 units.

3. The firepower is criticized for being weak, but as a coastal defense ship with a large number of equipment, it is still sufficient to replace the old frigates and some missile boats, mainly to facilitate rapid refitting and a large number of equipment. What is sought is the comprehensive effect, not the ability of a single ship.

It has certain anti-ship and anti-submarine capabilities, and is suitable for escort, sea patrol, and large ship operations. It kind of makes up for the gap between our large ships and small marine police ships.

The main opponent is basically locked in Japan, so now there are correspondings in all classes, then there is also the Qiuyue class, and there is no ship corresponding on China, so the next step will be to develop multi-purpose medium-tonnage destroyers such as the Qiuyue class, focusing on anti-submarine, because anti-submarine has not always been China's strong point.

The tonnage of 053h3 is 2,500 tons, ** is 100 million US dollars.

Class 056 has a tonnage of 1,400 tons, **100 million US dollars.

If the 053h3 is better than the 056 class, how can you make Pakistan, which just bought the 053h3 improved (F22P) in 2009, embarrassed!

1. Anti-aircraft missiles. The Haihongqi 7 with 053H3 has a range of 12 kilometers, which exceeds the Haihongqi 10 of the 056 level.

2. Anti-ship missiles. The 053H3 uses 2*4 serial anti-ship missiles, which is twice as much as the 2*2 serial of the 056 class.

3. In terms of anti-submarine work, the 053H3 hangar is much better than the 056 class without hangar and only on the apron, which can carry out first-class take-off maintenance, loading, and high sea state conditions, which can prevent aircraft injuries.

4. Near-defense. The 056-level 730 close-in defense gun is more advanced than the 053H3 Type 76A 37mm automatic gun, but the 053 can also hold the 730 close-in defense gun, and there was no 730 when the 053 was built.

In general, 053h3 and 056 are not a heavyweight.

Type 053H3 frigates are not comparable with Type 056 frigates. Because of the different positioning of the two, the main purpose of the Type 056 frigate is to patrol the coastal sea, replacing missile patrol boats such as the 037-class hunting submarine. The 053H3 was replaced by the larger Type 054 frigate, because the Type 053H3, which is more than 2,000 tons, cannot meet the needs of the People's Navy to go to the blue ocean.

Personally, I think that the comprehensive operation is still slightly better than 053h3.

Naval guns: 053H3 twin 100 naval guns, four twin 37 naval guns. 056 had only one 76 automatic naval gun and 2 30mm naval guns.

Missiles: 053H3 is 8 YJ, 82,056 is only 4. In terms of air defense, the Haihongqi-7 and Hongqi-10 have similar ranges, and the Haihongqi-10 composite guidance mode has a higher hit rate.

Anti-submarine: 053H3 is a two-seat anti-submarine rocket reflective device, 1 Z-9C carrier-based multi-purpose *** (each can hang 2 C-701K TV-guided short-range air-to-ship missiles or 2 Yu-7K 324mm light anti-submarine torpedoes). 056 has only two anti-submarine torpedo launchers, and the enhanced anti-submarine version has rocket launchers.

The combined effect is inferior to that of anti-submarine aircraft.

Stealth: 056 is more compact and has good stealth performance, and modular construction can be increased or reduced, and the relative cost of use is lower.

The latter is the replacement of the former.

053 There seem to be a lot of models.

The first ship of the Type 053H frigate (Jianghu I-class) started construction in February 1975, and two ships were completed and delivered to the Navy that year. The total length of the ship is 103 2 meters, the width is 10 8 meters, the depth is 6 3 meters, and the draft is 3 19 meters. The standard displacement is 1425 tons, the full load displacement is 1661 5 tons, the maximum speed is 26 knots, and the cruising range is 4000 nautical miles 18 knots.

Genealogy of Type 053H frigates: 509 Changde, 510 Shaoxing, 511 Nantong, 512 Wuxi, 513 Huaiyin, 514 Zhenjiang, 515 Xiamen, 516 Jiujiang, 517 Nanping, 518 Ji'an, 519 Changzhi, 520 Kaifeng, 551 Maoming, 552 Yibin (520 Kaifeng has been decommissioned) 20 years of development If in the first 20 years of the development of frigates, from the imitation of Type 01 frigates, the Type 65 and Type 053K frigates were developed on their own, To the 053H frigate to replace the old ships is to lay the foundation and accumulate experience, as a preparatory stage, then the 20 years since the design of the 053H1 frigate began in 1980 is a new development time. Since then, the history of repeated construction of corvettes in our country at a low level has ended.

The 053H2G and 053H3 frigates developed in the future have been developed to a higher level, and each type has developed and innovated.

Why don't you worry about it, are you going to resell the old ship, don't let it be sold.

The main role of the littoral combat ship is coastal operations, such as special operations and infiltration operations, and it can also build a safety zone between the headache diesel-electric submarine and missile boats and aircraft carriers, which is larger than the Type 056 in terms of tonnage, adopts a stealth design and a trimaran type, and is very fast.

056 is positioned as a low-cost coastal defense ship, and its main combat object is more like those amateur navies around the South China Sea than the United States littoral combat ships, and in terms of capabilities alone, of course, it is not as advanced as the coastal combat ships, and it is difficult to confront the coastal combat ships in a sea encounter.

For China, a more urgent threat than a head-on conflict with the United States is the covetousness of the South China Sea by the countries surrounding the South China Sea The formation of a large number of convoys, low maintenance costs, and the ability to suppress the countries surrounding the South China Sea is the purpose of the country's development 056.

The main purpose of the Littoral Combat Ships of the United States is that the maintenance and use costs of the United States' large fleet are too high The original intention of the Littoral Combat Ships was to reduce the cost of naval military operations, but because of the modular design and a large number of new technologies, the Littoral Combat Ships are actually not cheap, and the horizontal comparison in terms of tonnage is indeed a solitary quest for defeat, but in terms of cost, it is indeed not good and the price is even cheaper, and it does not have the advantages of small warships, low cost, and large numbers, nor does it have the advantages of large warships Technologically advanced, but too much pursuit of tall and full and multi-purpose ship.

In fact, the combat range of the Littoral Combat Ship coincides with that of China's 022 missile boat, and it seems more appropriate to compare these two.

Combat effectiveness is not at all on a level. Or rather, the two are not positioned in the same way in the war. The role of the US littoral combat ship is to carry out rapid and flexible operations in the enemy's coastal waters, especially in the harsh environment where some large ships cannot get close, and to solve operational problems such as land attacks, theater air defense and anti-missile, and underwater warfare (including anti-mines within the formation), and it has extremely powerful firepower (including electromagnetic guns) and high-speed performance (up to 60 knots, 30 knots for cruising), and is flexible and has excellent stealth capabilities.

A veritable battleship of the future.

The role of the Type 056 frigate is still that of a traditional sea-dominating ship, but the tonnage is smaller (only more than 1,000 tons, which is twice as different from the Littoral Combat Ship), and there are no outstanding features. Personally, I believe it will be used to equip China's future coast guard to resolve traditional maritime disputes with countries in the South China Sea.

If the two meet, the U.S. Littoral Combat Ship will outright the 056 Light Escort.

It is a littoral combat ship.

Belonging to ships of the same class, the tonnage of the United States is larger, because it may run farther, the main difference is in speed, the speed of the United States littoral combat ships is as high as 45 knots, China's light protection is less than 30, and there is also a large gap in the short-range defense system.

The United States has the 12 strongest navies in the world, with the United States ranking first, Russia, France, the United Kingdom, China, South Korea, Japan, and Brazil ......But the reality is that the naval strength of the United States is somewhat stronger than that of the next 11 countries combined!
