We are already the second naval level in the world?

since around 216, China has been going to jiaozi.

By the "22s", China's maritime military strength has reached the second level in the world.

It has three aircraft carriers, 5 destroyers and about 4 main frigates.

the size of China's navy

I don't think it is necessary to introduce these three aircraft carriers, namely, Shandong, Liaoning and Fujian in China. In terms of destroyers,

at present, there are 8 55 destroyers and 25 52D destroyers built in China, which is already 33

. Together with the navy's "all steamed seven sons" and other older warships, the total number of destroyers in service is 5.

In addition, China has not stopped its navy from "going down to jiaozi", so destroyers are still being built in batches. For example, at present, one of the 55 < P > Drive is in the state of sectional closure, one of the 52D destroyers is currently being outfitted for sea trial, and eight of them are still under construction in the shipyard.

the main frigate is naturally the 54 series. At present, there are 37 54A frigates and 2 54 frigates in service in China. This adds up to 39 ships, in addition to three 54A frigates that have been built and are on trial. < P > This makes 42 ships. Moreover, it is the main frigate, and there are a large number of small frigates with a tonnage of 2, tons in China,

of which 5 are Type 56A alone. Coupled with the older 53H series frigates, the number of frigates in China is actually close to 1.

However, in China's goal of developing towards the ocean, these small-tonnage frigates have little effect, so they are usually ignored.

as far as the total tonnage of the navy in service is concerned, the total tonnage of warships in service in China currently exceeds 2 million tons, while that in the United States, which ranks first in the world, is about 3.5 million tons. In Russia, the third place, the total tonnage of the navy is about 1 million tons. Secondly, Britain,

India, France and other countries have maintained the total tonnage of warships in service at the level of 4,-5, tons.

So now China's navy has reached the second level in the world, which is very stable, and the gap with the next few is widening

. The total tonnage of warships in China will not stop at 2 million tons. With the size of Britain and France, it is already the limit to maintain 4,-5, tons of warships. As for India, judging from the scale of its shipbuilding industry, it is also very reluctant for the navy to enter jiaozi. As for the second

Russia, these 1 million tons of warships are basically left over from the Soviet era. With the aging and retirement of these warships, the total tonnage of the Russian

Ross navy will gradually decline in the future.

Comparison of Chinese and American navies

Judging from the current comparison of Chinese and American naval forces, the main differences in China are aircraft carriers and destroyers. Eleven nuclear < P > powered aircraft carriers in the United States are all nuclear-powered aircraft carriers with a tonnage of about 1, tons, which adds up to a displacement of 1 million tons. China's three aircraft carriers, Liaoning ship and Shandong ship, are 6, tons, and Fujian ship is 8, tons, which adds up to 2, tons, which is 8, tons lower than that of the United States. In terms of destroyers, there are currently 7 Arleigh Burke class destroyers in service in the United States, 45 more than China's 52D. In addition, there are 17 Ticonderoga class cruisers in service in the United States, which adds up to 86, 36 more than the total number of destroyers in China.

Therefore, on the whole, the US Navy's stock advantage is still obvious, which is more than 1 million tons more than China's warship tonnage

. However, China's navy is also developing rapidly. At present, the annual water discharge of warships in China ranges from 1, tons to 2, tons. If this trend continues, by 23-24, there will not be much difference in the total number of Chinese and American navies.

Advantages of China's navy

In fact, at present, the biggest advantage of China's navy in the face of the US navy is not its own combat effectiveness, but

the economy and shipbuilding behind both sides. Since the end of the Cold War, the slump of the shipbuilding industry in the United States has become more and more serious, and now it has been < P > faced with very serious equipment aging and the loss of industrial workers. At present, the United States can still ensure the normal maintenance of warships and the arduous construction of new warships, but will it wait another 1 to 2 years? As this group of industrial workers in the United States retire or change careers, the shipbuilding industry in the United States will face a shortage of workers. As for the aging of equipment, many of the equipment of American-made warship < P > needs to be imported from abroad, and it can't make it by itself. For example, in 213, then-President < P > Obama of the United States went to Miami Harbor to give a speech on revitalizing American manufacturing industry. In the middle of the speech, the logo < P > on the gantry crane behind him was removed, revealing the "Zhenhua Heavy Industry" trademark inside. Therefore, with the passage of time, the

dilemma faced by the American shipbuilding industry will become bigger and bigger. Now Russia is in a state where new ships can't be built and old warships can make up for it.

it will take less than half a century for the United States to fall into this state. But in another 1-2 years, it is certain that the construction speed of new American warships is < P > far behind by China.

in addition to the problems of shipbuilding, economic problems have also profoundly affected the development of Chinese and American navies. Before the disintegration of the Soviet Union, there were about 3.5 million tons of warships. After its disintegration, Russia had to retire warships because of economic problems. The original

3.5 million was about 3 million tons when Russia took over, and now there are about 1 million warships left, with 2 million tons less in p>35 years

. The core reason why the United States can maintain 3.5 million tons of warships now is its dollar hegemony. Relying on American debt and all-ball finance, the United States has supported a huge "financial empire" and has enough money to maintain its own fleet.

in contrast, in order to maintain its dollar hegemony, the United States needs a huge fleet, and the two complement each other.

But now, although the US dollar is still the most mainstream currency in the world, the global trend of dollarization has begun.

besides relying on the U.S. navy, the hegemony of the U.S. dollar is also related to the linkage between the U.S. dollar and oil settlement, but now all the major oil exporting countries have gone to the opposite side of the United States. Russia, for example, still has a "small spear

shield" with the United States on the battlefield in Ukraine, and Venezuela, as a country in Latin America, the back garden of the United States, has begun to disobey the United States.

As for OPEC, represented by Saudi Arabia, it is now planning to decouple the US dollar from oil settlement.
