Old ships retired. Construction of the new fleet is expected to be completed between 1901-1902. The core of the new fleet is “CA-01” class large armored cruiser. Admiral Makarov 's plan : 16,000 tonnage armor cruiser The design weakened the range and caliber of the main gun, but strengthened the number and firepower of the medium caliber . Another feature of the design is that the ammunition amount is 2.5 times the general inventory amount, which can bear long-term combat. The high speed and armor allows the warship to actively choose to engage in fire at a long distance at the beginning of the war, and then close to close fire after the enemy's ammunition runs out.

At the same time, 2x2x11 inch main gun can meet the basic requirements of combat , and Medium caliber firepower is strong.

1904-1905 russia-france Colonial conflict and crisis The squirrels shuttled, the birds sang and rejoiced, occupying the entire bluestone boulevard as their territory; they only fled when a carriage drove from a distance. Makarov came to the office of the Secretary of the Navy, "I want to hear your opinion on the next year's naval construction." The Minister of the Navy said, "Relations between our country and France have been very bad recently." After discussing with others for a while, Makarov answered, "The Navy now has 7 B-01 and 6 CA-01, and 2 B-01 are about to be completed." "I personally recommend 3 improved versions of the CA-01 class, and a small number of destroyers." 15,000 ton CA-02 “In the recent and previous years of war, we found that the battleship equipment's 11, 12-inch hit rate was too low and did not play a decisive role. ” “Before the accuracy has been further improved, a certain number of B-01 can already provide sufficient large caliber firepower.” “A large armored cruiser that combines both firepower and high speed can still maintain the advantage of traditional battleships for a period of time”
