Three massive warships wow the crowds in Portsmouth, the home of the Royal Navy: It's just a pity they're CHINESE, not British

* Chinese ambassador and flag-waving UK-based Chinese residents welcome ships into Portsmouth Naval Base
* Formal visit from Chinese naval ships is aimed at enhancing military understanding between itself and Britain
* Assault ship Chang Bai Shan has been accompanied by frigate Yun Cheng and replenishment ship Chaohu
* Senior officers from both navies will discuss maritime topics during visit including counter-piracy operations
* Last year China increased its military budget by 12% to more than £86billion - compared to £33billion in the UK


Three Chinese naval ships have docked at a British base for a formal visit that samples the strength of the fleet being built up by the country.
Chinese ambassador Liu Xiaoming and hundreds of flag-waving UK-based Chinese residents welcomed the ships into Portsmouth Naval Base.
Heading a task group on enhancing military understanding between the two countries is the assault ship Chang Bai Shan.
She was accompanied by the frigate Yun Cheng and the replenishment ship Chaohu at the Hampshire dockyard.
During the five-day visit, senior officers from both navies will discuss maritime topics including counter-piracy operations across the Indian Ocean.

The visit comes seven months after a report from the US Pentagon which examined how China was growing the size and reach of its naval fleet.
And that followed revelations that China was increasing its military budget by 12 per cent to more than £86billion - compared to £33billion in the UK.
China now spends three times as much as India on defence - and more than neighbouring Japan, Vietnam, Taiwan and South Korea put together.

Task group commander Rear Admiral Zhang Chuansha said: ‘Our visit to the UK is a good opportunity to enhance our understanding of each other.
‘It’s a great opportunity for our sailors to get exposure to local people and our counterparts in the British Navy.
‘All sailors share something in common. We share the same sea, the same international obligations such as dealing with piracy.'

Ambassador Liu Xiaoming said: ‘This visit gives a flavour of the partnership between China and the UK.
‘It is also good for the British public to understand the Chinese military and what it is able to do. It has been seven years since our last visit.
‘The world has changed and so has the reach of the Chinese navy.
'We’ve carried out 48 missions in the Gulf region in that time and helped to protect 6,000 vessels.
‘So we have a lot to talk about - there is a lot for the two navies to share.
'And this visit will go a long way to strengthening our relationship.’
Commodore Jeremy Rigby, naval base commander, said: ‘We welcome our Chinese visitors to the operational home of the Royal Navy.
‘As with our ship visits abroad, these events are not only of great diplomatic significance, but also very useful militarily given that we share similar global challenges including counter-piracy, preventing conflict, protecting our citizens overseas and supporting UN peacekeeping efforts.
‘China, like us, relies on trade at sea for its prosperity and we work together around the world.
‘The visit to Portsmouth is a really good way for us to talk, navy to navy, with like-minded sailors, sharing information on our operations.’

Crew members from all three vessels will be given tours of local attractions including HMS Victory, HMS Warrior and the Mary Rose.
They will also be shown around the Royal Navy’s newest warship, Type 45 destroyer HMS Duncan.
The two nations will also compete in badminton and basketball matches at HMS Temeraire in Portsmouth - the Navy’s home of physical training.
The ships’ last port of call was Salalah in Oman and they will leave Portsmouth this Friday to head for Kiel in Germany.

Surface Forces: China Perfects A New 30mm Anti-Missile Defense

January 13, 2015: The Chinese Type 1130 multibarrel autocannon has been confirmed as the final production version of what was previously called the Type 1030. The 1130 has 11 barrels (one more than the 1030) and two magazines carrying over 1280 rounds of ammo. That is enough to engage over 40 targets before needing a reload. Top rate of fire is 10,000 rounds a minute (166 per second). This robotic weapon is radar controlled and, when turned on, automatically fires at incoming targets while under software control. It is similar in function to the U.S. Phalanx. The 1130 has five times more ammo ready-to-fire than the 1030 along with many refinements added during years of development. Because of its size, weight and large power requirements the Type 1130 is only installed on carriers and large destroyers.

This new weapon was first spotted in 2011 when the new Chinese aircraft carrier, the Liaoning (formerly Varyag) was seen with at least two of the then-new “Type 1030” automatic cannon systems. The Type 1030 appeared to be an upgraded (to ten barrels) model of the older Type 730 (seven barrel) and Type 630 (six barrel), close-in anti-missile automatic cannon. All fire 30mm shells at incoming anti-ship missiles, aircraft or anything else deemed a danger to the ship. The 1030 turned out to be still in development and the final version was the 1130.

Also seen on the Liaoning in 2011 were four 18 cell launcher for FL-3000N anti-missile missiles. The FL-3000N is similar to the American RAM anti-missile missile system, except that they come in 24 missile and 18 missile launchers and are less accurate. FL-3000N was only introduced in 2008, and uses smaller missiles than RAM. The FL-3000N missiles have a max range of nine kilometers (about half that for very fast incoming missiles). The 120mm, two meter long missiles use a similar guidance system to RAM, but are not as agile in flight.

Missiles are increasingly preferred over cannon for short range anti-missile defense. Thus over the last decade, the U.S. Navy Phalanx 20mm autocannon anti-missile system has been more frequently replaced by SeaRAM. What's interesting about this is that SeaRAM is basically the Phalanx system, with the 20mm gun replaced with a box of eleven RAM (RIM-116 "Rolling Air Frame") missiles. The Phalanx was developed in the 1970s, and entered service in 1977 (about the same time as the original Russian Type 630).

RAM was developed in the 1980s, and didn't enter service until 1993. RAM has a longer range (7.5 kilometers) than the Phalanx (2-3 kilometers, or 3.5 kilometers for the 30mm weapons) and was originally designed to be aimed using the ship's fire control systems. Phalanx, on the other hand, has its own radar and fire control system and, once turned on, will automatically fire at any incoming missiles. The latest Type 630/730/1130 operate the same way. This is necessary, as some anti-ship missiles travel at over a 500 meters a second. With SeaRAM, you've got a little more time, and can knock down the incoming missile farther from the ship. This is important, because it was feared that a large, very fast anti-ship missile (which the Russians prefer, and sell to foreigners), even when shot up by Phalanx, might still end up having parts of it slam into the target ship. Since SeaRAM has eleven missiles ready to fire, it can also engage several targets at once, something the Phalanx could not do.

The RAM missiles are 127mm in diameter, three meters (9.3 feet) long and weigh 73.6 kg (162 pounds) each. The terminal guidance system is heat seeking. Basically, it uses the rocket motor and warhead from the Sidewinder air-to-air missile, and the guidance system from the Stinger shoulder fired anti-aircraft missile. SeaRAM missiles cost about $450,000 each, which is probably at least 50 percent more than the FL-3000N missiles. SeaRAM is meant to provide protection for combat support ships that normally have no defenses, or at least no combat radars and fire control system. The new LCS will use the SeaRAM as well.

Like most modern carriers, the only weapons carried are anti-missile systems like Type 1130 and FL-3000N, plus some heavy machine-guns (which are often kept inside the ship, and mounted outside only when needed.) However, Russian practice was been to sometimes install long range anti-ship missiles as well. China may also do this with Shi Lang.

Je viens de poster pour la première fois un commentaire sur un article diffusé sur un blog, à priori assez regardé, http://psk.blog.24heures.ch/archive/201 ... 57915.html, sur l'innombrable erreur qu'on trouve dans le contenu.

Maintenant n'importe qui peut écrire n'importe quoi sur n'importe où, et les lecteurs lambda perdent la faculté d'analyse le vrai et le faux par eux-même. Pour être honnête je ne regarde plus que des sites ou des médias qui ont encore des journalistes spécialisés, comme le site Recognition dont travaille Xavier...

Le reste, c'est direction poubelle, le doigt n'a même pas besoin de passer par le cerveau pour éviter ces sites à la con.

Chinese sailors tour Royal Navy's newest warship

Chinese sailors visiting Portsmouth have been treated to a tour of the Royal Navy’s newest warship.

Fifty crew members from the assault ship Chang Bai Shan were shown around the hi-tech Type 45 destroyer HMS Duncan in Portsmouth Naval Base.

The Chang Bai Shan is one of three Chinese Naval ships in the city for a five-day visit aimed at enhancing military understanding between the UK and China.

On board Duncan the visitors were shown inside the hangar, bridge and weapon decks and were told about the basic roles and capabilities of the 7,350-tonne air defence vessel.

"We were delighted to welcome our guests on board"
Commander Rich Atkinson, Commanding Officer of HMS Duncan

Her Commanding Officer, Commander Rich Atkinson, said: “We were delighted to welcome our guests on board. Engagement and dialogue between our two militaries is useful given that we share similar global challenges including counter-piracy, preventing conflict, protecting our citizens overseas and supporting UN peacekeeping efforts.”

Chang Bai Shan arrived in Portsmouth on Sunday with the frigate Yun Cheng and replenishment ship Chaohu. They have just completed counter piracy escort operations in the Gulf of Aden.

During the five-day visit senior officers from both Navies will discuss various maritime topics including recent counter-piracy operations across the Indian Ocean.

Crew members from all three vessels will also be given tours of local attractions including HMS Victory, HMS Warrior and the Mary Rose.

The vessels leave Portsmouth on Friday morning and head for Kiel in Germany.

Le 16 Janvier 2015, la 17ème frégate de Type 054A, 577 Huanggang, a été admise au service actif dans la flotte de l'Est.

On remarque la durée anormalement longue entre la mise à flot et l'admission de ce bâtiment, qui est de 628 jours, alors que la moyenne constatée des 16 premiers bâtiments est de 363 jours seulement (entre 279 et 484 jours). Ceci pourrait suggérer que d'importants changements et d'améliorations, qu'on ignore lesquels précisément, ont peut-être eu lieu.
