Comment on the top ten faulty warships in active service. China, the United States and Russia are all on the list. What other ships are so unbearable?

I have seen the list of "Top Ten Most Advanced XX" or "Top Ten Most Powerful XX" before. Today, the author brings different comments. This time, I'd like to comment on the relatively failed model of the active navy combat vessels. The author will also select ten models for simple analysis, ranking in no particular order, and there is no distinction between high and low.

Free-level LCS

1. USS LCS littoral combat ship

LCS is a particularly popular style in previous years. Under the guidance of the US military's ambitious "from sea to land" strategy, medium-sized ships with light armed and heavy speed modular design appeared. Because these two bidding ship types are excellent, LCS even has two completely different models. LCS is the product of self-righteous naval strategy, which greatly despises the offshore combat capability of potential opponents and overconfidently demands close combat of hostile countries. Due to the lack of combat capability of the traditional navy due to the light armed design, if it is completely revised, it will lead to a substantial increase in costs, which is very embarrassing after the U.S. navy's strategic sharp turn. LCS wouldn't have so many orders if it hadn't benefited from the vacancy of combat power caused by the massive retirement of Perry-class frigates.

2. British/Canadian Navy Victoria-class conventional submarine supporters

The supporter class is Britain's top conventional submarine, a masterpiece of the Cold War. However, this kind of submarine with very advanced paper indicators has become a joke in the industry after changing its owner. After 1998 paid a transfer fee of $750 million, the Canadian navy harvested four supporters-class submarines and renamed them Victoria-class submarines. Since then, these four boats have been squatting all the year round, escalating repeatedly, and accidents and failures have continued, spending more than 4 billion US dollars before and after, which is a veritable troublemaker. It is said that staying at the dock is longer than going out to sea, which seriously affects the combat readiness and training tasks.

It is not easy to come up with a trip to the Japanese Victoria class submarine.

3. Russian Navy aircraft carrier Kuznetsov

The aircraft carrier Kuznetsov is a work of the Soviet navy in the transitional period, and it was forced to be born ahead of schedule due to the division of the country. 199 1 Kuznetsov left Ukraine urgently and finally served in the Northern Fleet. Due to the hasty evacuation, it lost a lot of data, maintenance tools and spare parts. "Kuznetsov" has brought many defects from its mother's womb, and the severe lack of neonatal care has caused the already local combat effectiveness to fail to reach a satisfactory state. Rough use, perfunctory maintenance, many accidents make her premature aging, delayed upgrading, and weak successors. The sunset of the empire is her elongated back.

Since Kuznetsov served in the army, accidents have continued.

4. Indian Navy Kolkata-class guided missile destroyer

This is the ambition of the Indian navy to catch up with the world's first class. At the end of 1990s, the project was launched, and the G8 made every effort to build it, equipped with the core air defense system of the Great Defender, and sharpened its sword in ten years to become an army. Although it's protracted and expensive, it's still in service, isn't it? The performance ... er ... was 15 years ago. Kolkata-class guided missile destroyers project a microcosm of India's military shipbuilding industry, relying heavily on foreign technical support, with insufficient production capacity and backward technology. The destroyer, which was supposed to serve before 2008, was delayed for five years.

Calcutta-class destroyers are typical early risers and late catchers.

5. Destroyer class nuclear submarine/India

This is the symbol of a great power, the standard of a powerful navy, the work of crossing the line under the indoctrination of a Russian tutor, and the weakest ballistic missile nuclear submarine in the world. The 700-kilometer submarine-launched missile is the standard to deter Pakistan's coast. The domestic reactor designed by Russia has never been able to run at full power, and once sank in the dock before it was put into use. Every country has encountered a lot of troubles when developing the first generation of nuclear submarines, but the enemy destroyer class seems destined to be more tortuous. Even with the full support of Russia, the backwardness of India's overall industrial facilities determines that this project needs great patience.

At present, there are few enemy destroyer-level photos published, and most of them are very vague.

6.22 Stealth missile boat, China Navy.

China's first fully stealth warship, China's first warship designed by a female chef, and China's first warship made of all-aluminum alloy ... In short, there are many first places, and the cool appearance and fashionable camouflage can't hide the helplessness of its new bottled old wine. Type 22 missile boat, as the last legacy of "air dive" thought, is a typical work under the guidance of China navy's backward thought in the transitional period. The unit price is high, the maintenance is complex, and the use is single, but it has created an amazing number. In that era of fierce struggle and rapid development of naval vessels, the appearance of Type 22 was not surprising, but in the subsequent development, it was built together with a new generation of ocean-going vessels and delivered surprising figures in a short time. If the background of the times has created it, then backward thinking has given it a lot of service opportunities, and it will be a negative asset of the navy for a long time to come.

Type 22 missile boat is very beautiful.

7.7 frigate. F 125, german navy.

Ironically, it is the strongest and most expensive patrol ship in the world, and its volume of 7,000 tons is unprecedented in the history of frigate development. The German navy made random demands, built a car behind closed doors, and the ships made in Germany were low-minded and blindly confident, creating a record that German warships were rejected by their own navy for the first time after the war. The high construction cost leads to such low efficiency, and the development process of F 125 frigate deserves the German Navy's reflection. Even if F 125 can eliminate most bad reviews after maintenance and upgrading, it will take time to prove how far this low-intensity jamming ship can go. After all, the German Navy is already planning a more traditional sea-building frigate.

The F 125 frigate that can't be lower.

8. Norwegian Navy Nansen class missile frigate

The strongest Viking warship, the entry-level Aegis ship, and the Norwegian navy in a dead corner have built such an escort fleet that is not weaker than the mainstream European navy. However, the cost is also obvious. In order to reduce the cost, Nansen-class displacement is low, and the Aegis system is seriously shrunk. Only 8 MK4 1 hair suspension devices have been installed. This is not much different from pretending to be a hunter with a mouse, even if your mind is full of ESSM point defense ship-to-air missiles.

Big-headed doll Nansen class, this is the bottom line of Aegis ship.

9. Russian Navy Rada-class conventional submarine

It is said that Russia will not design warships after the disintegration of the Soviet Union. Although this evaluation is extreme, it has some truth. After Russian independence, the newly designed combat vessels has some problems, all of which are very procrastinating. Rada class submarine is one of the most representative models. The problems and failures of this new generation of conventional submarines, which have concentrated many Russian black technologies, are unbearable, and the project has been put on hold many times. Originally, it was reported that it would get the support of the eastern powers, but it was finally dropped. Progress has been slow for more than a decade. Although the construction of No.3 boat has started now, there has never been a report that the first two boats have formed combat effectiveness.

10. Kirov-class nuclear-powered guided missile cruiser of Russian navy

Kirov-class cruiser is the last nuclear-powered surface warship except aircraft carrier in the world. It was born during the prosperity of the Soviet Union. Kirov is famous, but its design serves the "saturation attack" tactics, and it quickly became a heavy burden for the Russian navy after the disintegration of the Soviet Union. Of the four Kirov-class cruisers, only one "Peter the Great" is still in service, and the first one has long since retired. One of the other two ships has been sealed, and the other one is being upgraded and improved in the foreseeable future. The newborn Russian navy gave up many large ships, such as Kiev-class aircraft carrier and three Kirov-class cruisers, but the more pragmatic glorious cruisers were completely preserved. Therefore, in the design of warships, the absolute value of combat effectiveness is not the only core factor, but also the cost-effectiveness ratio in the whole service cycle, which is far better than Kirov.

Peter the Great, the only one still in service.

The above ten failed warships are either flawed in design or dragged down by strategic planning, or the cost-effectiveness ratio is extremely poor and helpless. For one reason or another, although these ships have many problems, they have all entered the navy, and some models even have a good life. There is irrationality. Just because they can gallop on the ocean doesn't mean they will succeed.

The sealed Kirov class is worn out.
