What I said is, to reach the same speed, with deck wind you can have shorter catapult.

I don't believe the length of a shorter catapult makes too much difference, given the overall deck size

The C13 steam catapult is 75m

076 is an amphibious ship, not that big deck

Does anyone know what version of the Red Banner 9 missile is currently used on the Type 52D and Type 55 destroyers? Is it the HHQ-9A or the HQ-9B? (Basically, is the HQ-9B able to be used on naval ships?)

I heard that's what said the 052D and 055 uses HHQ-9B.

I don't know if the 052C still uses the HHQ-9A, since they would have stopped building them a while ago, and the 052C has to move to the HHQ-9B once the older stocks deplete.

Might be wrong, but we have pictures of the particular missile with "HHQ-9B" written on it --> HaiHongqi-9 or 海红旗-9. Hai or 海 means "Sea" so yeah normally there's a naval version in service on those ships.

Stupid question but why do modern navy doesn't build super battleship like Iowa/Yamato anymore? I read on Quora that arguably they are even better than modern destroyer one-on-one

Quora is a cesspool that has got infected with people who exists on the near end of Dunning Kruger effect. I remember Quora of 2014s and it was a very different place.

Modern Navy doesn't build battleships because Battleships wouldn't survive against even a good frigate of today's with powerful AESAs and precision targeting AShMs. The closest to a battleship today is the US Zumwalt ( shore bombardment using Rocket assisted projectiles) but we all know what's happening to that program.

one-on-one

Military platforms don't engage this way. What most military enthusiasts/followers don't understand is that it's about systems and logistics.

Does the Chinese Navy have missile projects like SM-3/SM-6?

Don’t really understand the question since SM-3 and SM-6 are very different missiles. The former is dedicated for ballistic missile interception and ASAT. The latter is the latest addition to complement the existing SM-2 series.

 

[Akame]

SM-3 ve SM-6 çok farklı füzeler olduğu için soruyu gerçekten anlamıyorum. İlki balistik füze önleme ve ASAT'a adanmıştır. İkincisi, mevcut SM-2 serisini tamamlayan en son eklemedir.

What i mean is whether these are chinese equivalent versions?
