075 LHD thread

Won't destroyers and other surface vessels generally cruise at speeds of significantly under 20kts as well? I thought surface ships could only do bursts at 30+ knots, and must consume a much greater volume of fuel to do so?

That is assuming that the submarine is running at 30+ knots which rarely done in hunting mode Submarine does not use their max speed in hunting mode since they exacerbate the noise due to hull hydrodynamic and screw cavitation. They will be easily detected. Most submarine rarely goes more than 17knots in hunting mode. Max speed only used for transit!
So your argument is big BS!

Another thing running on diesel engine does not foreclose that the ship cannot make 30 knots
Some of the Russian sub can go as fast as 45 knots So the argument that LHD with CODAG can run run 30 knot! is a moot point

Max speed will only be used during transit How do submarine evade their pursuer by staying stand still and doing nothing until the pursuer left or in diesel sub they use the electric motor fed by battery doing slow creep

Yes 075 obviously will not be actively doing ASW missions at 30+ knots even if it was capable of it.

However, you need to be able to do 30+ knots if you want to keep up with the rest of your fleet which will do 30 knots while transiting. I.e. 30+ knots is entirely necessary if you require your LHD or LHA to fulfill a fleet ASW capability for your fleet.

075 absolutely can do ASW; however it does not offer the ASW capabilities that the article makes it sound like it will provide.

Consumption at 30 kn is four times as high as 15 kn. In the past, there have been multiple aircraft carrier groups that have driven several thousand NMs continuously at 30+.

Ships with gas turbines tend to run more efficiently at 30+ knots, and carriers tend to conduct operations at about 30 knots with reserve speeds being even higher.

In relation to ships like 075 (other LHDs, LPDs etc) they only tend to be able to do 20+ish knots as their top speed. The Hyuga and Izumo classes are the exception.

PLAN similar capabilities to the USN's amphibious ships cannot be countered by claiming the 075 can't move at 30 knots.
It's obvious. Both are amphibs before anything else.

If you know anything Japan function in cold war era is to guard the sea of Okhotsk from Russian submarine and prevent them from entering pacific
If you know anything, please describe how you intend to perform ASW operations within sea of Okhotsk. Say, in 1980s.

Guys, could You please continue this back-and-forth discussion on LHD & ASW in the ASW thread? We are already so far off the regular Type 075 discussion.

Thanks

I think it's more accurate to say that gas turbines run more efficient at full output.

But much of the time, ships like the Arleigh Burkes only have 1 gas turbine in operation, with the other 3 switched off.

The blurred module on the right of the first type 075 is the second type 075?

Why are these indoor assembly halls built so closely together? Do they have doors on all sides for easy movement of built modules?
