Chapter 239 Browsing the Naval Ships

Browsing the naval vessels, Richard came across different options.

Destroyers: These ships, around 150 meters in length, were multi-role warships. They came equipped with systems for anti-air, anti-ship, and anti-submarine warfare. High speed and maneuverability were their key features, powered by advanced propulsion systems. A typical destroyer housed a crew of about 300.

Cruisers: Larger than destroyers, usually over 180 meters, cruisers were armed with guided missiles and rapid-fire guns. They were designed for both offensive and defensive roles. The detailed specifications pointed to their extended operational range and larger crew requirements.

Aircraft Carriers: The giants of naval fleets, these carriers, often more than 300 meters long, functioned as floating airbases. Their primary armament was their air wing, but they also possessed defensive missile systems. The scale of operations necessitated a crew of over 5,000, including aviation personnel.

Submarines: These stealth units specialize in underwater operations. Nuclear-powered variants had impressive submerged displacements and offered unlimited range. Their armaments included torpedoes and missiles, ideal for covert and strategic operations.

Amphibious Assault Ships: Over 200 meters in length, these ships were designed for deploying ground forces. They featured well-decks for landing craft and extensive support for helicopter operations, catering to varied amphibious missions.

Frigates: Smaller than destroyers, at around 130 meters, frigates were versatile, and used for escorting larger ships and patrolling. Their armaments were suited for multiple threat scenarios, and their propulsion systems emphasized range and efficiency.

Amphibious Warfare Ships: Similar to assault ships but focused more on troop and vehicle transport. They were equipped with facilities for extensive cargo and supported various landing operations.

Amphibious Transport Docks: Amphibious Transport Docks, also known as Landing Platform Docks (LPDs), are a type of amphibious warfare ship designed for the deployment and support of ground forces across naval operations.

Littoral Combat Ships: Small, agile ships designed for close-to-shore operations. Their modular design allowed for flexibility in mission types, from surface warfare to mine countermeasures.

Patrol Boats and Fast Attack Craft: These smaller vessels were suited for coastal defense and rapid response tasks. They were armed with machine guns and missiles for quick engagement capabilities.

Helicopter Carriers and Corvettes: The former offered air-mobile operations despite being smaller than traditional carriers, while corvettes provided heavily armed but cost-effective options for littoral defense.

Battleships: Now obsolete, these ships were a nod to historical naval power, with immense firepower and armor but lacking in modern naval warfare utility.

With that instruction, Richard tapped the destroyer icon, and then a comprehensive list of available ships from various countries, notably from first-world countries like the USA, France, UK, Russia, Japan, China, Korea, and Germany, appeared. Each destroyer was listed with detailed specifications:

"Impressive," Richard muttered under his breath. Like the air and ground military hardware, the sea also has something to offer. However, he pondered, what's the need for these warships when most of the enemies are ground-based? Sure, they are air-based and the ship's anti-aircraft system could handle that but there is already military hardware to counter air and ground threats using ground-based hardware.

Is it because there are also enemies lurking beneath the sea? That's a possibility, he doesn't know the extent of Lin Feng's power. He may have something up his sleeves, including sea monsters. Maybe he'll consider buying one when the situation calls for it. In the meantime, he doesn't need a naval warship. What he needed was logistics and transportation.
