Why is the Continental 815A electronic reconnaissance ship called a sea street slipper? Perhaps many netizens know that in order to deter the mainland by force, the US military has jointly launched large-scale joint military exercises in the waters of the western Pacific with Japan, South Korea and the Philippines. However, when the U.S. military thought that the mainland would send destroyers and frigates to guard the scene, a very special warship suddenly appeared, and the mainland's 052D missile destroyer also served as a knife escort for it. That's right, this particular warship is the Type 815A electronic reconnaissance ship, which is very small in number on the mainland.
Because the mainland's Type 815A electronic reconnaissance ship possesses powerful information collection, data transmission, and data guidance capabilities, when the US military saw the mainland's Type 815A electronic reconnaissance ship approaching the four-nation combined fleet, it directly ordered it to quickly sail into the open sea and left the South China Sea in a gloomy manner. As a matter of fact, the main reason why the US Combined Fleet will urgently evacuate is that the mainland's Type 815A electronic reconnaissance ship has too strong data collection capabilities, and can automatically decipher the encrypted information of the opposing warship according to weak communication signals. As long as the ship's electronic jamming power is fully turned on, the communications within the range of 800 kilometers will be interfered with by the Type 815A electronic reconnaissance ship. Moreover, the Type 815A electronic reconnaissance ship can also carry out anti-tracking of enemy targets when interfering with enemy signals.
Therefore, it is not difficult to find from here that the surveillance and vigilance capability of the Type 815A electronic reconnaissance ship can be described as quite powerful, and this is also the main reason why the US military will directly turn the bow of the ship after seeing the Type 815A electronic reconnaissance ship. According to the information on the Internet, the 815A electronic reconnaissance ship is based on the old 815 electronic reconnaissance ship depth improvement, the ship compared with the previous generation of ships, the overall length has increased to more than 130 meters, the width of the ship 17 meters, and the 815A electronic reconnaissance ship also adopts a long head floor layout, so that the ship can use more space.
Since the biggest role of the Type 815A electronic reconnaissance ship is maritime surveillance and vigilance, the ship is equipped with a large number of radar systems, among which the most conspicuous on the ship is a super-large active and passive search radar. According to the analysis of online data, the effective detection range of this radar has reached 1,000 kilometers, and it can also independently identify and filter encrypted information on enemy warships, and record relevant communication data for decipherment, and then the information will be transmitted back to the mainland ground command center through the data link. Not only that, in times of complex weather, this type of radar will also enter the passive working equipment, and each different monitoring frequency band will automatically explore target information within a certain range. Of course, the maximum detection range of the Type 815A electronic reconnaissance ship when performing passive detection tasks is about 300 kilometers. Under normal circumstances, the mainland's Type 815A electronic reconnaissance ship rarely goes to sea to carry out tasks, because the ship's electronic equipment is too expensive, and only when there is an enemy situation in the waters around the mainland, the Type 815A electronic reconnaissance ship will enter the combat state, so as to collect the enemy's maritime intelligence, so this is one of the main reasons why the ship is called a street slicker on the sea.
It is worth mentioning that in addition to the ability to collect information and electronic jamming, the Type 815A electronic reconnaissance ship also has a special ability, that is, it can provide data guidance to the continental rocket force; once it enters a wartime state in the future, the ship can quickly analyze the accurate location of the enemy's warship with the blessing of the Beidou system and high-precision radar, and then the ship can provide the enemy's warship coordinates to the rocket force through the data combat system. When the continental rocket force obtains the coordinates of the enemy's warships, it can launch DF-17, DF-21D, and DF-26 missiles at enemy targets within 5 to 10 minutes, thus delivering devastating strikes on the enemy's large aircraft carriers and destroyers. Therefore, it is no exaggeration to say that the Type 815A electronic reconnaissance ship is equivalent to the eyes of the continental rocket forces.
This is because when the US aircraft carrier battle group entered the waters near the mainland, the over-the-horizon radar system of the mainland's Type 815A reconnaissance ship successfully kept a firm eye on the US aircraft carrier at a distance of 700 kilometers from the US fleet. Although the US military dispatched EA-18 electronic warfare aircraft to counter jamming at that time, the aircraft could only be insignificant when facing the mainland's Type 815A reconnaissance ship. So in the end, in order to avoid losses, the US military had to order an emergency evacuation. It can be seen from this that the mainland's Type 815A electronic reconnaissance ship has brought a deterrent psychological shadow to the US military.
The Type 815A electronic reconnaissance ship is a high-tech ship of the Chinese Navy, which is mainly used for maritime electronic intelligence collection and surveillance missions. This kind of ship has been nicknamed "a street slicker on the sea" by netizens because of its excellent electronic reconnaissance capability and active performance in many international military exercises. This nickname reflects its flexibility in maritime activities and its deterrent effect on potential adversaries.
The main features of the Type 815A electronic reconnaissance vessel include:
1. Powerful information collection capabilities: Ability to collect and analyze electromagnetic signals, including communication signals and radar signals, and even decipher encrypted information.
2. Data Transmission and Guidance Capability: Collected intelligence can be transmitted to the command center in real-time and, if necessary, target data guidance can be provided to remote weapon systems.
3. **Electronic jamming capability**: capable of jamming enemy communications and radar systems, affecting their normal operation.
4. **Advanced Radar System**: Equipped with high-performance radar, it is able to detect and track targets in complex environments.
In practice, the Type 815A electronic reconnaissance ship has appeared in joint military exercises of the U.S. military and its allies in the western Pacific region, demonstrating its surveillance and alert capabilities. In order to avoid the leakage of sensitive information and the interference of electronic systems, the US Navy chose to stay away from the areas of activity of these reconnaissance ships.
The existence and activities of the Type 815A electronic reconnaissance ship reflect the importance that the Chinese Navy attaches to electronic warfare and intelligence warfare in modern warfare, and also demonstrate the determination and capability of the Chinese Navy in safeguarding national maritime rights and interests and maritime security. The emergence of such ships not only enhances China's maritime intelligence-gathering capabilities, but also constitutes an effective deterrent to potential adversaries.
In addition to the Type 815A electronic reconnaissance ship, the Chinese Navy has several other similar ships, which are mainly used for maritime electronic reconnaissance and intelligence gathering tasks. Here are some of the known Chinese Navy electronic reconnaissance ships:
### Type 815 electronic reconnaissance ship
