Shanghai-class coastal ASW patrol craft - Variants

type 0111 A

Due to the large climate difference between the north and the south of the mainland, the Shanghai class is divided into south and north designs. The northern type has heating boiler facilities to cope with the cold weather, while the southern type called 0111N has electric fans, cold rooms, and enhanced ventilation systems. To adapt to the harsh environment of the South. In 1964, the 0111 A-type won the first prize of the national new product development in the mainland. In addition to the Dalian plant, Guangzhou Huangpu Plant also joined the Shanghai-level production system to meet the needs of the South China Sea Fleet. At that time, the capacity of the Huangpu Plant was not enough to build such a ship.

However, if it was built by the Dalian factory, it would not be able to reach the South China Sea through the Taiwan Strait, which was still in the hands of the KMT navy, after the completion of the North. The mainland Navy decided to build it in the past. The Shantou-level model was sent directly by the Dalian Shipyard to the technicians, and the ship was transported by train to Guangzhou and assembled at the 404 plant in Huangpu. From 1961 to 1965, the mainland built a total of 30 0111 A-type boats, of which the Dalian plant produced a total of 17 northern-type (including prototype boats), while the Guangzhou Huangpu plant built 13 0111N from August 1963.

0111 B

In the next 30 years, the PLAN equipped a total of about 315 Shanghai-class ships. There are a variety of different derivative and improved models in the front and back, and they were named according to the geographical names of “X states” in mainland China, such as Yangzhou, Quanzhou and Jinzhou. and many more. The earliest 0111 type A uses four L-12V-180 diesel engines (produced by the mainland's 407 diesel engine plant in Henan, and visited the M-50F3 from the Soviet Union, each with a power of 1200 horsepower, with light weight, compact size, high power, etc. Characteristics), four-axis propulsion, although with a speed of more than 30 knots, the average operating life of the turbine is only 300~400 hours, and the fuel consumption is also large, which is not conducive to long-term use; therefore, the subsequently produced 0111 B is used instead. Two L-12V-180 diesel engines and two L-12D-6 small diesel engines each with a power of 300 hp are driven by L-12V-180 at high speed and L-12D-6 during normal cruise. Although the 0111 B-type mainframe configuration reduces the L-12V-180 diesel engine's start-up time, which can achieve longer endurance and operating life, but also reduces the speed performance, it is not an ideal solution, so only 16 ships have been built.

0111 C / D

In order to balance the speed and service life of the "dilemma", the PLAN specially invested millions of yuan to the 407 plant to develop a diesel engine capable of outputting 1000 horsepower and having a sufficient life. In 1963, the new H-12V-180 diesel engine was developed. The Shanghai-class aircraft was built with the engine, called 0111 C or 0111V, and the speed returned to over 28 knots. At the same time that the 0111 type C was built, the production of the H-12V-180 diesel engine could not keep up. Therefore, the mainland introduced another 1300-horsepower diesel engine as a substitute for the transition. The ship using this diesel engine is called 0111. Type or 0111M type. The first 0111-type was started in February 1965 and was completed at the end of the same year. Due to the increase in engine power, the speed of the 0111-type has increased to more than 30 knots. The 0111-type model produced in the later stage changed the clutch of the transmission system from the original electromagnetic type to the hydraulic type, which is called 0111 D-type II or 0111D type.

In 1965, 0111 was involved in the three major civil wars which exposed a number of shortcomings. Therefore, the mainland subsequently made several improvements to 0111 C. The project included reducing the size of the bridge. The radar and the captain's room were moved from the bridge to the soldier's cabin, and the electric rudder was changed to the manual rudder to reduce the risk of damage to the bullet. In addition, the material of the deck compartment was changed from the original hard aluminum to soft aluminum to reduce After the shot, the fragment was scattered around, and the mast was changed from the original fixed type to the foldable type, so as to pass through the bridge of the inland river or enter the cave fortification. The 0111 C/T type is called 0111 H H and 0111 D II after the above improved procedure, and is collectively referred to as 0111D. The 0111 C type is the most productive structure in the Shanghai class. Among them, Dalian Shipyard built 43 0111 C and 110 0111 C II. Huangpu Shipyard built two batches of 23 0111 C (of which 6 for various reasons) L-12V-180 diesel engine is still used, so it is sometimes classified as 0111 type A), Guijiang Shipyard has built more than 40 ships; a total of 216 ships of 0111 series have been built in the mainland, some of which are used for external output. A total of 85 ships were produced in the 0111-type and the D-type II, of which 26 were for the D-type and 59 for the D-type II.

In the late 1960s, the mainland planned to modify three 0111 C models and switch to gas turbines to increase the speed. This concept is called 0111R, but it was not realized.

Shanghai II

In order to strengthen the offshore anti-submarine capability, in the early 1970s, Dalian Shipyard further launched the 0111S with anti-submarine capability based on the 0111 C type, which is called Shanghai II in the West. Compared with the 0111 C-II, the 0111S adds three five-pack RBU-1200 anti-submarine rocket launchers (two ships, one at the end of the ship), plus a small Stag Ear compact variable-depth active anti-submarine sonar; In order to cope with the increase in equipment, the length of the 0111S hull and the displacement are slightly increased. In addition, the main engine is replaced with the same four-seat L-12V-180 diesel engine as the 0111 A. The first 0111S prototype boat was started in Dalian in early 1972 and was delivered to the ship at the end of the same year. After testing the first boat of 0111S, it was decided to change back to the same power system as the 0111 C-type II, and reduce the number of RBU-1200 to two (cancel the ship's tail); the modified 0111S is called 0111SII. A total of 27 ships were built in the 0111S series, with the exception of the first two ships being 0111S, and the subsequent 25 ships were all 0111SII models.

0111S type boat "Shanghai" M-class

According to the needs of the anti-submarine struggle, the hull was extended on the basis of the C-type II boat, and anti-submarine weapons and sonar equipment were added, which was called the 0111S type boat. The configuration of the main engine adopts the A-boat program. The weapon configuration mainly includes the addition of three 5-bar rocket-type deep-bomb devices, and one of the two tails of the boat. The modification of the 0111S type is called the 0111SII type, and the power is configured along with the C-type II, eliminating the rocket deep-ball launcher at the tail. These two types of S-boats are called "Shanghai" M-class in the West.

Type 62 "Shanghai" W-class

Although the combat performance of the 0111 type escort boat is good, it is not conducive to long-term combat because of the small size of the boat and the poor consideration of living and working environment in the design. In the 1980s, according to the requirements of the South China Sea Fleet, the Navy decided to improve living conditions and dwelling on the basis of the 0111S type boat, further improve the airworthiness, and then designed a new type by Guangzhou Ship and Ocean Engineering Design Company and Guijiang Shipyard. The boat, named 626-1 type escort boat. The improvement of the new type of boat mainly includes: adding 2 meters of boat length, making the boat length of 41.08 meters, increasing fresh water reserves, installing air-conditioning devices, increasing fin stabilizers, and improving the working, living and living conditions of the crew. In addition, windshield windows are installed on the front and sides of the open-air bridge to improve the working environment of the podium. The boat was built by the Guijiang Shipyard in 1985 and the first boat was delivered the following year. The West called the boat a "Shanghai" W-class escort boat.

Shanghai III

Although the Shanghai-class firepower is strong, it is not ideal for long-term combat and personnel combat (including living space comfort and airworthiness). After installing a large number of weapons on a limited volume hull, the rest of the living space is left. Not much, the airworthiness is limited, the lack of stable fins makes the hull shake a lot, and the ship's turbine noise is also very large. In addition, there are only 5 tons of fresh water on the boat (most of which are supplied to the turbine), and Setting up air conditioning will make the boat officers and soldiers in the hot South China Sea.

Therefore, the PLAN decided in the 1980s to continue to improve the design of the 0111S to meet the needs of the South China Sea Fleet. This improved model is called the 062-1 model. The main improvements include the addition of fresh water storage, the installation of air conditioning systems, and the hull. Stabilizing fins are added on both sides, and a relatively quiet turbine monitoring room is installed in the rear cabin, which greatly improves the living environment of the officers and men on board. The first type 062-1 was started in 1985 and delivered to the ship in 1986. It was subsequently produced and the West was called Shanghai III. Appearance, the 062-1 has a modernized closed bridge, which is the most significant difference from the previous Shanghai class.

Type 062-1G Shanghai IV

After the Type 5 Type 062 escort boat was retired or converted to reserve, part of it was transferred to the Public Security Armed Police Border Force and the Customs Anti-smuggling Department with the disarmament of the 1980s. The Navy's current Type 062 is the 062-1G model that was built in 1987. The 062-1G model is equipped with fin stabilizers to improve the working, living and living conditions of the crew. Windshield windows are installed on the open-air bridge to improve the working environment of the podium. A new type of dome is installed on the dome. Plane search radar. The West called it the Shanghai Class IV escort boat. In view of the cost and attendance advantages, the 062-1G escort boat will also play a heavy fighting service such as patrol, alert, search, reconnaissance, escort, and fishery protection, and continue to be active in the ranks of the Chinese navy.

0111E/F private boat

In the mid-1980s, the PLAN gradually reduced its orders for the Shanghai-level. The mainland shipbuilding industry was modified on the basis of 0111 C-type II. The 0111E coast patrol boat and the 0111F private patrol boat were launched, and the marine armed police and customs smuggling were obtained. The order of the fleet. The basic design of the 0111E is roughly the same as that of the 0111 CII, but the arm is reduced to a 61-type double-mounted 25mm cannon and a double-mounted 14.5mm machine gun, and a small boat pylon is added to the deck to carry the high speed for inspection. Speedboat; the difference between 0111F and 0111E is the addition of a conference room (and recreational function), and the addition of a small crane for the retraction of the rubber boat, while removing the ship's armament.
