In South Korea, laid the second UDC. The launch is expected in a year

45
According to the blog information bmpd, South Korean Defense Purchasing Authority (DAPA) заявило that 28 on April 2017 of the year at the shipbuilding enterprise of the local corporation Hanjin Heavy Industries and Construction (HHIC) in Busan was held an official ceremony of laying the second universal landing craft (UDC) under the symbol LPX, intended for the country's Navy.



It is assumed that the withdrawal of the ship from the construction dock of the shipyard for completion is scheduled for April 2018 (that is, exactly one year later!), And the delivery of the ship the fleet expected in 2020.

HHIC designed and built the first UDC LPH 6111 Dokdowhich joined the fleet in July 2007 of the year. Originally it was planned to equip the Navy with three UDC of this type, but the beginning of the construction of the second ship was constantly postponed, given the financial component and operating experience of the lead ship. A contract worth 417,5 pounds worth (approximately $ 380 million) for the series renewal was concluded with HHIC 23 December 2014 of the year. The technical design of the second ship was completed in March 2016 of the year, in November 2016 of the year the first steel cutting for the hull took place.


Head UDC Dokdo


UDC will keep Dokdo case length (200 meters), and a number of improvements will be made. It is assumed that the second ship will receive various, but unimportant improvements in the design and equipment, and its flight deck will be adapted to the possibility of basing the Bell Boeing V-22 Osprey converters. The adaptation of UDC for the placement of Lockheed Martin F-35B aircraft is not planned. It is possible that the diesel main power plant used on the Dokdo will be replaced by a combined diesel-gas turbine.

      Koreans are world leaders in shipbuilding. We would like to hide our pride in a good way and break through joint projects with them, to learn how to rebuild quickly and well. (I mean separate areas of shipbuilding)

        So, we originally built a new super-ship Zvezda in the Far East with them. Only then they realized that they were building a competitor with their own hands and could lose orders and merged from the project. They have enough competitors in the form of China and Japan. Together, these 3 countries control 80 percent of the world's shipbuilding in the region and are fighting hard against each other. They also obviously do not want to fight with us. Our 45 shipyards represent about 3 percent of the world's shipbuilding, and if the card lies well, then there are chances to reach 5.

          It is strange that at the same time shipyards are sorely lacking.
          Or is it not so?

            Well, in our country there are about 45 shipyards, not counting small ones. Most are engaged in the construction of civilian vessels. There are those that focus only on the military. Need orders. Last fall, about 86 warships, submarines and ships were built in the Russian Federation, not counting auxiliary boats. Another dozen and a half for the FSB. And there are 116 different civilian courts in the area. In general, if you count everything, you can count up to 250 boats in total. But on a global scale, this is not much. Asian volumes are much larger. They are building for the whole world. Moreover, we are far from building everything - we buy something all the same. Gradually, we are import substituting, but all these processes are not very fast. We are building a lot of tankers, tugs, barges, trawlers have gone, but bulk carriers and tankers - not yet. Just recently, Vsevolod Beletsky came to Murmansk with a freshly built bulk carrier. It was built in China for the Murmansk Shipping Company. request PM work is still full. hi

              Most are busy building civilian ships -?! Hm. 116 ships !!! If you discard barges, pontoons and boats there will be a dozen. If you remove 8 tankers for palm oil RST 25 (import substitution!) Then a couple of ships are being built. Utilization of ship repair yards, at least in the Baltic states, of those remaining, 30% percent

              there is a common opinion that the anti-submarine cruisers 1123, the large atomic reconnaissance ship Ural - all this was built on the basis of bulk carriers, is that true?

            quantity does not mean quality
            most shipyards, even if they are suitable in size, are not equipped with the necessary equipment, do not have the necessary personnel, have problems with logistics

      Well done Koreans! Our profucal Mistral, now they themselves do not know what to build !! Morgunov and Gren (after being commissioned, possibly in 2 years) are not needed by our Navy, the project has been redone 20 times and it turned out ANYTHING in hardware! And this is a fact, since our series was not ordered ......

            There is such a proverb "On fishlessness and cancer - pike."

            So, if you constantly strive for the ideal and remodel the ship at the shipyard, then you will not get anything in the end.

            And they will sail strongly in Syria B \ U ships bought from Turkey ...

      1) Technology. Typically, such ships are built in commercial shipyards (for example, the shipyard where the imprude was laid; Dodko is building tankers and gas carriers). Actually, modern shipbuilding has stepped far ahead, from those technologies that are used, for example, at Amber.
      2) TK - the military adjusts the project every six months, this leads to delays, perestroika, stops in construction, etc.
      3) Trying to insert all the same - this leads to the fact that the samples that existed at the time of ordering in 3d and from papier-mâché are delayed, do not live up to expectations, crawl out of size. The result of the restructuring, the waiting for products for years, and without it it is impossible to begin the next stage of construction, everyone is waiting for the result.
      4) Financing - but now it seems to be easier.

      As I understand it, if you move away from the topic "there is no money, but ..." and Rogozinovskaya chatter, then the main catch is that we did not plan to work in these areas. Prior to the well-known events in Georgia and Libya, and then in Ukraine, the GDP was planned to smoothly integrate into European sectors and industries. For example, the civil aviation sector was not planned to be developed in principle, with the exception of the SuperJet niche, which is not interesting for Boeing and Airbus due to its low margin. Whether Airbuses would buy them and make them some little things, that’s all for the civilian sector in terms of GDP. With ships, apparently the same situation, given the prevailing idiotic situation with ship engines. Well, I did not plan to develop these sectors of GDP. But when historical necessity makes it not so easy to build it in a short time.

      There, the face of the side is a third of the American. How quickly will Congress even creep to the side, ordering about this equipment?

      Well, Korea now obviously will not quarrel with the Americans. Especially because of the penny UDC.

      Probable sellers:
      Indonesia - they already laid down 6 Makassar for themselves, plus 4 was exported (they built 2 themselves, built 2 in Peru on SIMA Calao). There is initially a very flexible board, designed by the Koreans, for any hardware (PAL already has all the rights to the project).

      China - they will have the fifth 071 DKVD this year will be launched. Perhaps this is the best option, specifically for the MO. There is a larger group, and he is bigger, and the dock is huge.

          there is something that is hard to get past. If you work a lot even without days off, then the work is not very difficult. There are no miracles. For example, the Japanese often stick out at work until 9-11 pm, come home later. Think workaholics? But nothing like that. It’s just that their work is NOT annoying, such conditions are created.
