오늘은 중국의 3대 휴가기간중 하나인 노동절입니다.(다른 휴가기간은 설날기간인 춘철과 10월 1일 국가기념일?) 오늘부터 호텔방값도 턱도 없이 올라버리더군요.
칭다오 해군군사박물관에서 곧 무너져버릴 것 같은 상태로 전시되어 있는 중국군의 여러장비들을 보았습니다.
현대의 중국해군 모습을 볼 수 없었지만 이것 저것 오늘 본 장비들 모습입니다.

첫번째는 러시아로부터 도입한 로메오급 잠수함으로 함내부에 들어가보니 참으로 어수선한 모습이 잠수함에 근무하는 사람들이 존경스러울 정도로 열악한 환경을 볼 수 있었습니다.
50년대 잠수함이니 오죽하겠냐 싶었지만 ...

Type 033 (Romeo Class) Diesel-Electric Submarine
The Type 033 is a Chinese copy of the Soviet Romeo class diesel-electric torpedo submarine. A total of 84 boats were built from 1962 to 1984, with few still remaining in service for training and surveillance purposes today. A number of Type 033 submarines have been sealed in caves for reserve, and can be restored to service condition in short period. All Type 033 submarines are expected to be retired from service by 2010.

DEPLOYMENT
Around 20~30 submarines still serving with the three fleets of the PLA Navy.

DESIGNS
The Type 033 is not merely a clone of the original Romeo class. Instead, considerable improvements were made at both design and later production stages. The Type 033 has eight torpedo tubes, in contrast to the six tubes on Romeo class. Also the Type 033 has a slightly increased displacement while remains same underwater speed. By increasing the fuel capacity, the maximum range and self-retaining capability of the Type 033 is twice as much as those of Romeo class. Other improvements include an improved sonar, and a water-cooling system for the battery array.

TORPEDOES
The Type 035 has eight 533mm torpedo tubes (6 bow, 2 stern), and carries a total of 14 torpedoes in tubes and storage racks. Alternatively the submarine can carry 28 mines in its tubes

PROPULSION
The Type 035 is powered by a diesel-electric arrangement, consisting of 2 Type 37D diesel rated at 4,000hp (2.94MW), with 2 alternators and 2 shafts.
