Note: The Xiaboyang guided missile destroyer was invented by China military fans and first published in Shipborne Weapons in 2006. It doesn't exist at all. In history, only Chaboyang class cruisers (Chabayev class cruisers) were designed and manufactured by the Soviet Union before World War II. Originally planned to produce 17 ships. When the Great Patriotic War broke out, only seven ships were built. When the Germans occupied Crimea, three Xia Boyang cruisers blew themselves up, and the other two.

Here is a brief introduction to the Xiaboyang class missile cruiser that no longer exists (the information was extracted and briefly described by myself in the first issue of Shipborne Weapons in 2006: The Lost Giant Ship: Glory II-Xiaboyang class missile cruiser).

The "Chaboyang" class guided missile cruiser was designed and built in the1980s in response to the "rearmament for maritime hegemony" proposed by the Reagan administration of the United States. It was used to replace the "Glory Class" cruisers that were relatively backward compared with western ships in this period (the United States vigorously developed its navy during this period, and Nimitz-class aircraft carriers, Ticonderoga-class cruisers, Spruance-class destroyers and Los Angeles-class nuclear submarines were built and put into use in large quantities, and the Alibek-class destroyers also developed, posing a strong threat to the Soviet Navy).

When the Xia Boyang class filled the gap of the glory class, the designer also fully predicted the general direction of the development of ships and weapons after 2000 and the way to confront the United States. Therefore, Xia Boyang class highlights the characteristics of a single ship, thus improving the comprehensive ability of the formation. Because of the offensive nuclear strike capability of the United States and the Soviet Union, Xia Boyang paid more attention to nuclear strike capability and air defense capability. Soviet designers plan to enable the ship to withstand four "saturation attacks" and become the backbone of the formation air defense counterattack!

In order to improve the survivability, the Xia Boyang class adopts the inclined design of the outer wall, radar absorbing materials and propeller ventilation and noise reduction system by reducing the height of the superstructure and mast, so that the warship has certain stealth ability (Xia Boyang with full displacement 12000 tons is estimated to be only equivalent to a 5000-ton warship on radar, while the underwater noise is more like a 2500-ton warship. ), this is still a very avant-garde design for the ship design at that time!

1982 During the Falklands War, Argentina sank the British destroyer Sheffield with flying fish, which led Soviet designers to adopt a bus-based distributed combat system (to prevent the hull from losing all its combat capability after a single attack), and moved the combat command center to the underwater part of the hull, and used a large number of composite armor for ammunition depots, communication warehouses, command centers, computer warehouses and other parts to improve the anti-strike capability.

The Xia Boyang class also draws lessons from the three defenses of the improved fearless class destroyer, and divides the whole ship into seven closed three defense zones. The superstructure adopts all-steel structure, which can bear the maximum pressure of 0.55 kg/cm 2, greatly improving the ability of resisting nuclear shock wave.

In the air defense vertical launch system, the first generation "left wheel" launch system is not adopted, but the multi-purpose modular box structure is adopted. The whole ship has two air defense launch zones (9* 10 units in the front and 5* 10 units in the rear) and 140 units, which nearly doubles the honor level and has the largest one-time capacity. For the Xiaboyang class with 152mm twin guns and 40 sets of anti-ship missile devices, it has a very strong ability to attack ships, especially the new guided anti-ship missile SS-CX-5.

In addition, this class of ship also adopts modular open architecture, which divides the whole ship into multiple functional modules and adopts standardized design, which greatly improves the construction speed and cost during the construction process, and takes into account future modification and upgrading.

The comprehensive performance of the Xiaboyang class guided missile cruiser was excellent at that time, and many mature technologies were adopted to ensure its operational stability, far exceeding the ships of this period. Due to the disintegration of the Soviet Union, Xia Boyang finally died!
