Mighty Asian Navies!

The Mighty Navies of Asia!!

Japanese Self Defense Maritime Forces







Peoples Liberation Army Navy-CHINA







ROYAL THAI NAVY







INDIAN NAVY

Yes, we're pretty fast in developing and utilizing western style naval designs. Personally, I really dont care for destroyer ships, my country needs to invest in another carrier. We're already a light blue navy, but another carrier would allow Thailand to have a complete deep blue water navy.

So tell us more about the Taiwanese naval fleet HanSouix.

Yea, considering the Japanese dont have a 'navy' but have a 'Self defense maritime force'. Anything else beyond destroyers and cruizers would be of offensive factor, which Japan is forbidden to commit under her constitution.

JSDFMF may be defensive, but its quite lethal..

Wrong. The Japanese have a large procurment of cruizers and destroyers, which they use as the primary naval vessel in their JSDFMF arch. JSDFMF ships have excellent durability and firepower compared to PLAN's unstable fleet.

 

The Japanese Cruizer Katori on a diplomatic mission to Malta

 

 

Japanese cruizer Yamayuki..look at those guns

Hatsuyuki in Malta...Nice armament..

 

 

So..you said Japan doesnt have cruizers? lol. Guess you dont know anything about the navy! LOL!!

St Peter the great may have a huge tonnage and armament but without Air superiority it will be a sitting duck, as was the Japanese super battleships Yamato and the Musashi. May I remind you JSDFAF has quite the array of F-16, F-15 and F-18. LOL, you forget Japan has an American nuclear umbrella.with over 40,000 US Marines in Okinawa..you try attacking a japanese ship and watch how you will be destroyed.

 

Plus..remember the Tsushima straits.. Russian baltic fleet... booom LOL!

After the disintegration of the Soviet Union, the Russian Navy has been reduced by half. Russia retained only 66 percent (113) of the 170 factories and enterprises directly supporting naval shipbuilding6. A prime example was the loss of the Ukraine shipbuilding yards, as a consequence of which only one aircraft carrier, the new Admiral Kuznetsov, remains in service and the navy cannot refit most of its remaining cruisers. Similarly six of the Baltic Fleet's seven ship repair yards are now inaccessible. Such is the problem that the navy now claims to retain only 34 percent of the ship repair capacity which it requires. The supply of spares has also been disrupted by the fact that many factories which were traditionally monopoly suppliers are now abroad. Further blows to the navy's infrastructure were dealt with the loss of bases and training establishments which have proved difficult or impossible to replace7. The current state of the Russian Navy and the outlook for its future development are the cause of some concern to her sailors, due to, firstly, Russia's Naval power is diminishing, the shipbuilding industry will be incapable of turning out nuclear submarines and ocean going vessels. Secondly, since 1992, the inventory of vessels has shrunk by a half and naval aviation by 60 percent; ageing of vessels and armament varies from 70 percent to 30 percent according to the type. By the 21st century a mere 10 percent of all vessels will comprise new models8.

In order to deal with this, the Russian Navy has further reduced operations and removed from operational status those ships and submarines with less than half of their planned service remaining. This has resulted in the complete elimination of several classes of ships and submarines, remaining the need for many costly overhauls, nuclear refuelling, and a reduction in the navy's manpower requirements, allowing for the elimination and consolidation of some navy formations. No part of the Navy was spared9. It remains tasked with defensive operations.

So.......LOL!!

 

What are you on? I didn't "show off" anything, I merely posted the first pic of a modern cruiser I could find to demonstrate the difference in size between a destroyer and a cruiser.

"Prove me wrong"? What did I state that was wrong? I made three and only three statements:

1. Katori is a training vessel
2. Hatsuyuki class is destroyers
3. Peter the Great is a cruiser, and as such much larger in size than a destroyer


Now, which of these - which are all true - are you refering to?

while i'm here...

that's a Korean destroyer Kwanggaeto, 4000 ton KD-1

this is 5000 ton KD-2, the Moonmoo

first of KDX-3 (9000 ton) is currently being built, and Korea also has LPX (20,000 ton landing platform), KSSX (3000 ton submarine), KCVX (at least 40,000 ton carrier) planned.. LPX is in progress

Korea already has hella good marines.. LPX will make them unquestioned #2 in the world

Korean submarine force has caused stirs everytime they participated in a training war game (other Korean ships have, too, but korean subs have 'sank' American carriers).. KSSX will take it to the next level..

KCVX right now isn't a set plan, but if it did come.. now THAT would be a deep blue navy..

what the LPX will look like:
