In China, the ship-catamaran maritime reconnaissance and surveillance

According to the blog dambievChina has launched a catamaran ship of maritime intelligence and surveillance.

According to unofficial estimates, it is intended to provide submarine sonar reconnaissance in the interests of the PLA Navy’s anti-submarine defense missions.

Displacement is 5000 tons. Vessel representing a catamaran with a small area of ​​the existing waterline Swath, tows an antenna array of underwater noise-finding devices for collecting primary acoustic information, performs its primary processing and transmits the received data via satellite to coast stations for further processing and evaluation. The design of the vessel helps to reduce pitching at low speeds under adverse weather conditions.

Ah yes the Chinese - GOOD FELLOWS. It remains only to envy.

What to envy? What is constantly releasing something? Then yes, the means allow. And so, nothing new was invented. Rejoice better for yours.

New? Yes, after the invention of gunpowder, they no longer pleased the world more than they did. But this does not prevent them from becoming leaders. And I would be glad if we were developing at such a pace now

Everything has its time. And my opinion about China, you don’t need to idealize it, they have enough of their problems. And the invention of gunpowder in China, by the way, is in doubt. I don’t know how to explain it to you, but the Chinese are very hard on creativity, especially in the design field. Something to tear, yes, they have no equal, something to come up with a new and breakthrough, here they skid.

It’s completely invented. This is like the first real (non-experimental) vessel on this scheme with the intended purpose. Moreover, for the intended purpose (acoustics and deep-sea research), this scheme is ideal.

But there was no mistake. It was in the 00's that they were just experiments. Over the past 10 years they have been done decently. Even the Japanese.

Therefore, the Chinese made only the largest target ship in the interests of the military, with a competitor 3800t (Germans).

Now I am too lazy to poke around on this issue on the Internet, but ships made according to the catamaran scheme, where "The design of the vessel helps reduce pitching at low speeds under difficult weather conditions," have long been used not only by military but also by civilian oceanographers. I remember about ten years ago, according to Discovery, there was even a documentary on this topic.

Mabut, mabut ... That's just what to do with the "Magus", aka "Commune". A real, catamaran vessel with its intended purpose, celebrated a century ago ...

Are the destinations different? Therefore, I also think that the Chinese are great ....

For doping, you need to check out these Chinese.

They have one dope, the same as everyone. This is the availability of finances that allow you to implement such projects. Well, of course, brains.
