 ===History=== ===History===
?''Cheng An'' (成安) is a ''Type D Escort Ship'' (丁型海防艦 ''Tei-gata Kaibōkan'') ''CD-40'' constructed at Fujinagata Shipyards in Osaka, Japan, and completed on December 12, 1944. ''CD-40'' survived the war and was ceded to China on August 29, 1947, being then renamed ''Cheng An'' and commissioned along with former ''CD-104'' and former ''CD-192'' after being judged as fit for immediate further service. ''Cheng An'' was decommissioned in 1963+ 
 ===Design=== ===Design===
?The ''Type D Escort Ships'' were part of the response to the urgent need of protecting Japanese maritime shipping which was under constant attack while the dwindling number of fleet destroyers were becoming too valuable for frontline fleet actions to be diverted into such a task. These, along with the other Kaibōkan classes ordered since 1942, were the Japanese counterparts to the destroyer escorts of the US Navy despite these ships' lack of any torpedo armament. Although the late-war Matsu and Tachibana class destroyers were often regarded in the West as such instead, they are in fact essentially, with features conducive to escort operations, a return to the "2nd-class destroyer" concept that fell out of favor as a result of post-WWI naval treaties; Kaibōkan type ships, on the other hand, are wholly dedicated to coastal defense and convoy escort duties, making no concession to fleet operations.+The Type D escorts (''kaibōkan'') were laid down from October 1943 under the 1943-44 Programme and completed between March 1944 and the end of the war. The design was very similar to Type C, but because of a shortage of diesel motors, turbine machinery was installed, slightly increasing maximum speed but greatly reducing endurance. (4500nm instead of 6500nm, at 16kts). The building time was between four and nine months. The class received even numbers, in sequence. Building yards were Mitsubishi, Nagasaki; Kawasaki, Kobe; Ishikawajima, Tokyo (a complete list of the builders of particular units is not available). As with the Type C units, the light AA armament was increased in 1944-45 to 12 and later 16-25mm, and there was one 3 inch depth charge thrower. The hulls of ''Nos. 70, 80'' and ''122'' were demolished on the slipways in 1945. A further 72 units were cancelled in 1944 before construction began (''Nos 86-100, 108, 110, 114, 120, 128, 136, 140, 146, 148, 152, 162-184, 188'', and ''206-286''), as were another 60 projected in the 1944-45 Programme (''No 288'' onwards).<ref name="Conway">[Sturton, Ian. Conway's All the World's Fighting Ships. ser. 1922-1946, Conway Maritime Press Ltd, 1980.]</ref>
? +
?Because of Japan's deteriorating war situation, the ''Type D'' class was a further simplification of the ''Ukuru'' (Modified ''Type B'') design and were built to the same design as the ''Type C'' escort ship. However, due to a shortage of diesel engines to power both groups of vessels, the ''Type D'' were powered by turbine engines. This gave a slight increase in speed, from 16.5 to 17.5 knots, but a reduction in range and endurance, 4500 miles at 14 knots instead of 6500 miles. The ''Type D'' was the only Kaibōkan type to use turbines.+
  
?They were smaller by 200 tons than the ''Ukuru''’s and engines that propelled them were also smaller, at 2500 SHP vs 4200 for the ''Ukuru''s. Because of the decrease in engine power, the speed fell from 19.5 to 17.5 knots. The number of 4.7" guns went from three to two. The number of depth charges aboard was the same, 120, but the number of depth charge throwers was decreased from 18 to 12 and the depth charge chutes were decreased from two to one.+===Service===
 +''CD-40'' was a Type D Escort Ship (丁型海防艦 ''Tei-gata Kaibōkan'') constructed at Fujinagata Shipyards in Osaka, Japan, and completed on 12 December 1944. Her career with the Imperial Japanese Navy lasted barely a year, as she escorted convoys of war materiel and supplies throughout Japanese-held territory. She had several run-ins with U.S. Navy submarines, including USS ''Balao'' and USS ''Tirante'', failing to defend her escorts on a few occasions.
  
?One drawback of the ''Type D'' was that they did not have an effective fire-control system. They were equipped only with one height rangefinder for the AA guns, for example, and were powerless against large-scale, coordinated air attacks that tended to be the norm with the US Navy by the time these escort ships entered service.+She was damaged by an aerial mine dropped by a B-29 "Superfortress" off Futaoi Island in the Sea of Japan on 13 April 1945 and was laid up for a month for repairs. Following her return to active duty on 20 May, she saw no additional action or convoy duty for the remainder of the war. She was struck from the list of the Imperial Japanese Navy on 30 November 1945 and assigned to mine sweeping duties for the Allied Occupation Force.
? +
?Despite being simple to construct, however, they proved themselves very durable for their size. Of the 22 instances of these ships being struck by torpedoes, 9 of them did not lead to the loss of the ships struck, with the ''CD-30'' being struck and surviving on two separate occasions. Of the seven occasions when they struck mines, only one led to sinking. The simplifications of the design led to a significant saving in construction time. The Type D escorts required approximately 20,000 man-hours each, compared to the 35,000 man-hours of the ''Ukuru''s and the 57,000 man-hours of the ''Mikura''s.+
? +
?This also lent the ships well to re-armament following transfer to foreign navies, unlike fleet destroyers built shortly before or during World War II.+
?===Service===+
  
 +''CD-40'' was ceded to China on 29 August 1947. She was renamed ''Chengan'' (成安) and commissioned into the service of the Republic of China, along with former ''CD-104'' and former ''CD-192''. ''Chengan'' was decommissioned in 1963.<ref name="Combined Fleet">[Bob Hackett, Sander Kingsepp and Peter Cundall. Imperial Japanese Navy Page. https://www.combinedfleet.com/CD-40_t.htm]</ref>

Player Opinion

Performance

The start of the Pan-Asian tech tree, Chengan is best played at medium to long range. She is the smallest ship at her tier, and compensates for a lack of armor with agility and concealment. Her small size and fast rudder shift make her a difficult target to hit. When under fire, captains should use evasive maneuvers such as weaving and try to maintain 7 to 8 kilometers of distance between themselves and the enemy.

If Chengan finds herself in a close-range engagement, she will struggle to penetrate the citadel armor belt of Erie, Hashidate, and Hermelin. If this occurs, aim for the bow, stern, or superstructure to avoid non-penetrations. Despite her inability to hit the citadel of those ships, Chengan is capable of penetrating the citadel armor belt of Black Swan, Bougainville, and Orlan. If any of those three ships show their broadside, captains should aim for the waterline under the smoke stack to inflict severe damage. Captains should also utilize Chengan's excellent concealment to dictate the engagement. When fully specialized, Chengan will not be out spotted by any of the other Tier I ships. This stealthiness enables her to set up ambush-style attacks or disengage from a greater enemy force.

Pros:

  • Very small and agile (lowest turning circle radius and rudder shift time of all Tier I ships).
  • Excellent concealment (lowest detectability range of all Tier I ships).
  • Fastest turret rotation of all Tier I ships.
  • Small and therefore difficult to hit.

Cons:

Research

Availability of researchable upgrades for Chengan is as follows:

  • Main Battery: No available upgrades.
  • Hull: Progression to consecutive ship, Longjiang.
  • Gun Fire Control System: Type 1 Mod. 1 can be upgraded to Type 1 Mod. 2 for a 10% firing range increase.
  • Engine: No available upgrades.


Players wishing to progress further in the line should prioritize research and purchase of Longjiang. For players who enjoy playing Chengan, GFCS Type 1 Mod. 2 is an inexpensive upgrade to research and mount.

Optimal Configuration

Upgrades

The recommended upgrades for Chengan are as follows:

Commander Skills

Key skills for Chengan commanders include Advanced Firing Training and Concealment Expert. With extended firing range and better detection range, Chengan can engage from greater distances and slip back into concealment if she encounters accurate enemy fire.

Consumables

Chengan can equip the following consumables:

Camouflage

Type 1, 2, or 5 camouflage can be equipped for credits; Types 1 or 5 are recommended at a minimum to reduce detectability range.

Signals

Chengan will benefit from flying Sierra Mike (+5% to the ship's maximum speed.) flags which increase her top speed to be more competitive.


Note: Use of the Juliet Charlie signal makes detonation impossible.
