Chapter 845 (2/2)

The ”Allen Sumner” class is an enlarged type of the ”Fletcher” class. Its combat radius is larger than any other class destroyer in the past. It is the best destroyer built by the United States in World War II. A total of 70 ships were built in this class, of which 3 were completed after the war. In the early 1960s, 33 ”Allen Sumner” class were modernized and refitted to carry anti submarine helicopters.

It may be because of historical deviation, or because the Soviet Union put too much military pressure on the United States at this time. Americans have not retired all Allen Sumner destroyers, but after all, they are too old. No one in the Navy wants to serve. Retirement is the best choice.

Baozixuan doesn't like this warship. After all, the design level during World War II has completely lagged behind the times.

Ian Wright saw the idea of baozixuan. After all, he couldn't see such a warship. Even if you buy it back, it is difficult to sell, and there is a great chance that it will hit your hand. Fortunately, the Ministry of defense has a response plan, otherwise I really don't know how to deal with it.

Ian Wright smiled and said, ”Mr. Bao is not satisfied with the Alan Sumner warship!”

Although he is not a professional in naval ships, he also knows some general information. Isn't it a trick for Americans to take such a thing!

Bao Zixuan: ”the performance of this warship is too backward, and there is little room for refitting. It's basically useless to buy it back. Let's see if there is a better choice. If not, we can only think of ways from other countries. After all, the US Navy has a corresponding expansion plan, and the black cloud group will not do business that is difficult for people. ”

Since he came here, he can't let the boy go easily, otherwise the navy can't afford to replace modern warships.

Ian Wright: ”Alan Sumner destroyers are just a match. If baozixuan likes it, the Ministry of defense is willing to sell Spruance class destroyers. The premise is to carry out one-to-one matching sales with Allen Sumner. ”

In other words, to buy a Spruance class destroyer, you must buy an Allen Sumner destroyer.

Hearing this, Bao Zixuan was speechless. The US military has even started bundling sales. It seems that business is everywhere.

The richest man in this plan package is very excited, because Spruance class destroyers are a good thing.

Spruance class destroyer is a multi-purpose missile destroyer of the U.S. Navy. It was built in the early 1970s to replace a large number of Allen Sumner class destroyers and Keeling class destroyers left over from World War II. As the main anti submarine force of the US Navy aircraft carrier battle group, this class of ship is the first large fleet destroyer built by the US Navy, the first ship built with modular design, and the first ship propelled with all gas turbine at the beginning of design. It completely gets rid of the previous World War II design and is a major milestone in the history of us ship building.

After all, the Spruance class destroyer only served in 1975. So far, it has been less than ten years and has agreed to retire and sell.

Bao Zixuan: ”if so, heiyun group can accept it, and the high-low collocation can explain to the next family.”

The Americans were not very satisfied with the first few ships of the Spruance class destroyer. After all, many immature technologies were applied at that time. Now that someone is willing to take over, the US Navy can use the funds from the sale of ships to improve the latter ships.

It doesn't matter if Bao Shoufu knows. The US Navy is dissatisfied because they are demanding. But for other developing countries, they don't pay so much attention. After all, it is also a great improvement in their combat effectiveness to be the same as the current warships of the United States.

As for other warships, the US military will not sell them. After all, Reagan's grand plan has begun to be implemented, and there are no redundant warships for the richest man to choose from.

Finally, the Americans sold four Spruance class destroyers in early service to the black cloud group. With four Allen Sumner destroyers, the price of eight warships was $480 million, which was a successful end to the arms sales.
