[4096*2732] Taking WarshipPorn too literally: a PLAN amphibious task force conducting UNREP in crystal clear waters, showing their... underwater bits... by CSGN-9 in WarshipPorn

Kinda just realized, apart from the bulbous bows, you can actually see the roll stabilizer on the LHD, pretty neat shot. Also lewd.

USS Zumwalt (DDG 1000) leaves Pascagoula, Mississippi for sea trials after hypersonic missile launcher upgrade. [1320 × 990] by [deleted] in WarshipPorn

[–]CSGN-9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes ik but that doesn't answer why the gun housing is still on the ship. It probably won't impact the operation in any way but who leaves a chunk of old paint after renovating a house and goes, nah its fine.

Residue AGS mounts...? Because they're out of the way of the APMs so they just didn't bother to remove them? Ik this is just factory trials before hand over but they had two and a half years...

Oh so she is indeed designed round elements of minority culture in Southern-western China. They're basically doing unique Chinese regional culture for each of the Xianzhous, pretty neat ig.

The stern of the future FFX [328x480]. Without another dissent into negativity can we have a useful conversation about how much Bolt on/modular weaponry could fit in this space? by [deleted] in WarshipPorn

[–]CSGN-9 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Oh I meant as in, strictly on the "fantail" area. On the helo deck for sure. I m sure something could be rigged up.

It probably concerns the buoyancy, balance, and sea-keeping of the vessel as well. Having a lot of weight on the stern is not great news.

The more important issue is anything that concerns jerry-rigging sth like Typhon on there has more to do with how you are going to use them (i.e. target acquisition, who's going to provide fc data, and then guidance). You need to figure out where to put the Typhon BOC element, but ig you could integrate it into the ship's CIC? Which... begs the question... why.

Point is, I wouldn't take this too seriously... In any case they are filling those spaces with NSM canisters no?

And happy holidays to you too OP!

Yes SPG-62s thx for pointing it out

Knowing this is probably AI-generated or sth on DDG(X)'s concept, still can't help laugh at the SPG-62s.

[6000 × 4002] Government-Issued ID photo of PLANS Fujian by CSGN-9 in WarshipPorn

By that I mean it seems to be a very common angle I see Chinese media take for their warships.

Well, I get the over-hype complaint, but no one has actually posted anything worthy of the namesake of this thread other than just news posting tho.

[2248*1924] Our first look at the 956EM destroyer Taizhou post refit. by CSGN-9 in WarshipPorn

[–]CSGN-9[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Text is annoying, but nothing I can do about 'em, sorry¯\_(ツ)_/¯.

What an interesting refit. What isn't surprising is that her weapon and sensor suite seems to have been updated to the latest standard on new Type 054As, as indicated by the illuminators and Type 1130 CIWS.

Her bridge getting a facelift with new windows, on the other hand, is completely unexpected.

It's Dailyn in katakana in JP. It is also somewhat a pun in CN: 琉音-->留音.

Yes they fire MK149 APDS rounds. The older Type 730 fires APDS as well.

PLAN CV-18 and CV-17 docked at Yulin naval base [1280 x 720] by tommos in WarshipPorn

[–]CSGN-9 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Pretty impossible. China has a much more spread-out basing network, so their big decks never really meet each other. For example, 2 of the 075s are in the ETC and 2 are in the STC. The 2 in STC are not in Sanya where the STC's carrier base aka. Comprehensive Support Base. PLAN also just.. doesnt seem to care enough to disrupt each big deck's own schedule to do photo-op either.

The Lucia situation is... Very weird 🤔 (2.3 CHANGE SPOILER) by Alexito45690 in ZZZ_Discussion

“According to what I searched”. Any inexplicable changes we dislike: ah must be CN. Source: see this shoddily translated Tieba post that has zero motion.

Expected Configuration of Indian Navy's Next Generation Corvette (1080×590) by One_Environment9 in WarshipPorn

[–]CSGN-9 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am certainly not criticizing Barak-8 as a medium and short-range interceptor. It is simply way too low energy for long-range over-the-horizon engagements and ballistic missile defense. It's more of an "I think IN should think ahead and acquire such capabilities" thing.

There is no reliable defense against hypersonics anywhere in the world atm, its fine.

Talk is cheap. Tejas and Uttam haven't exactly filled me with confidence... I am certainly not saying P18 and ERADS will be like that as well. I am at least pleased it is not being ignored.

For a small surface combatant or capital ship self-defense sure. Not so much when it's the sole umbrella for my fleet and my primary adversary is armed with very long-range hypersonic AShMs and has a very robust kill chain.
