![]() In October 1988, the Type 082 minesweeper was successfully tested for detonation and sinking at the Yangtze River Estuary. The small-scale cutting blasting mine-sweeping equipment, electromagnetic mine-sweeping equipment, audio-frequency mine-sweeping equipment and infrasound mine-sweeping equipment equipped on the boat are all developed by 710 Institute. This type of boat can not only be controlled by the centralized control room to control minesweeper, but also can remotely control the 312 remote-controlled minesweeper on the command platform. All types of equipment can work normally under a strong magnetic field. This new generation of boats with integrated minesweepers has strong impact resistance. This is the Type 082 minesweeper, which is called the Vortex sweep class in Western countries. The minesweeper started to build at the rate of one per year. It is equipped with two 25mm double-barreled naval guns, and can carry 6 mines. The maximum range can reach 900 kilometers, the combat capacity is 40 people - 6 officers and 34 men. The cruising speed is 15 knots, and the fuel is loaded with 70 tons. The class is of low magnetic steel hull with a length of 44.8 meters, a width of 6.8 meters, a cabin depth of 3.7 meters, a draft of 2.3 meters, a full load displacement of 320 tons, power by a pair of 4M50 diesel engines with a total of 4400 horsepower, four-axis propulsion, and a maximum speed of 25 knots. The hull numbers changed from "44XX" to "80X" after 2004. ![]() But only four ship numbers were reported, and by 2019, there were only three ships. Some reports stated that it was produced at a schedule of about one ship per year. ![]() The first ship entered active service in 1988. In 1987, the Jiangzin shipyard constructed and delivered the minesweeper to the Navy. Under the premise of drawing on foreign technology from many sources, the design was completed in 1984, and construction was started by Jiangxin Shipyard. It was designed by Ma Jinhua of the 708 Institute and was designed in 1984. The China Naval Research Institute immediately organized several research institutes to participate in the development.Ī new generation Type 082 minesweeper was researched in 1976 by the No. The equipment on the boat must have the ability to withstand strong shocks, work in a strong magnetic field, and have the ability to centralize control and automation. For minesweepers, the range of action should exceed that of the Type 312 remote-controlled minesweeper. Western sources report the Wosao class minesweeper is a coastal craft equipped with obsolete mechanical sweeping gear, although Chinese sources report the boat is equipped with navigation radar, equipped with sound, electromagnetic and mechanical minesweeping equipment.īased on the actual experience of minesweeping during the Vietnam War, in 1976, the Navy proposed the task of developing a new generation of minesweeping boats at the third mine anti-mine equipment planning meeting, requiring electromagnetic, acoustic, infrasound and cutting blasting. In addition, the Type 082 had an anti-shock capabilities for protection. The minesweeper possessed electro-magnetic, acoustic, infra-acoustic, cutting, and demolition minesweeping equipment, and had a larger range of action than the Type 312. ![]() The Type 082 is a maritime minesweeper (MSC) designed by the Chinese for the so-called boat combination. ![]()
