Chapter 446: A Generation of Aircraft Carrier Assault Formation
Paying attention to the development of aircraft carrier battle groups is the key development direction of the Far East Corps in the future, and it is also one of the necessary measures that has always been ahead of the rest of the world. After all, we are still in the era of giant ships and cannons.
But there are still many problems facing the Far East Legion. There is money to build an aircraft carrier fleet, but there are no free shipyards for production.
In Li Ningyu's conception, the first-generation aircraft carrier assault formation in the Far East is a ship battle formation mainly composed of multi-purpose assault aircraft carriers. It is used to destroy enemy naval and aviation forces, destroy coastal land targets, destroy, attack, and control its maritime traffic.
line, support Far East Army operations, ensure the operations of other naval ship formations, protect its own maritime traffic, etc.
The aircraft carrier assault formation is composed of an aircraft carrier multi-purpose assault group, with 2-3 assault aircraft carriers, 3-4 heavy cruisers, 3-5 light cruisers, 10-20 destroyers and frigates, and 5-9 attack submarines.
It is composed of 3 logistics support ships and 100-160 aircraft carriers.
In this way, when the aircraft carrier assault formation performs its mission, it can not only form a unified combat formation, but also operate independently of the aircraft carrier group. At the same time, it can refuel and replenish ammunition directly at sea. The aircraft carrier assault formation can operate continuously at sea, generally within 30-50 seconds.
days, the assault depth can reach about 1,500 kilometers.
The birth of the aircraft carrier was in the early 20th century, when it was thought up by an American pilot.
Subsequently, the first ship to provide a runway for aircraft to take off and land at the same time was the British cruiser HMS Fury. The 70-meter-long flight deck was used for aircraft to take off, and a simple landing arresting device was installed for aircraft to land. It was the first full-passage flight deck.
The aircraft carrier is a passenger ship converted into the British aircraft carrier HMS Hundred Eyes. The flight deck is 168 meters long. There is a hangar below the deck and there are multiple elevators that can lift aircraft to the deck.
The huge advantages of the aircraft carrier formation are what Li Ningyu has been yearning for since his rebirth, but the shortcomings of the aircraft carrier are also fatal.
The first weakness is that the target is too large and can easily be discovered by the enemy, because an aircraft carrier formation can have as few as seventeen or eight ships of various types. After being discovered, the aircraft carrier formation will have to face the enemy in multiple directions and in multiple batches.
Frequent harassment and attacks, exhausting all kinds of coping.
The second aircraft carrier formation has poor logistical supply capabilities and needs to carry a large amount of fuel and ammunition. In addition to the consumption of fuel, food, and ammunition during combat, the entire fleet requires very large supplies. The enemy is often in the fleet.
When replenishing supplies at sea, launch a surprise attack.
Third, once countries have air force combat capabilities, there will be many loopholes in the air defense of aircraft carrier formations, and the aircraft carrier itself has a small self-defense capability and completely relies on other accompanying ships and submarines, as well as the combat aircraft it carries to assist in defense. Therefore, combating these
The following "bodyguards" completely destroyed the entire aircraft carrier formation.
After the underwater propeller of the fourth aircraft carrier is attacked and loses its function, objects parked on the flight deck will be easily damaged, which will inevitably greatly reduce the offensive and defensive effectiveness of the aircraft carrier, so it is more likely to be continuously attacked, severely damaged, and then sunk.
.
The combat effectiveness of the fifth aircraft carrier formation is greatly affected by changes in ocean weather. Although the aircraft carrier itself is designed and built on the basis of a battleship, it can withstand strong winds. Generally, it can also withstand winds below level 10.
Sailing, but the aircraft carrier is ship-based
The platform of the aircraft is affected by sea and meteorological conditions. Wind, lang, visibility, etc. will restrict the take-off and landing of the aircraft on the platform. Once the wind reaches level 8 and the sea level reaches level 7, it will be difficult for almost carrier-based aircraft to take off, even if the aircraft is lifted.
The air is also severely restricted by meteorological conditions.
However, the advantages of the aircraft carrier formation are still worth possessing. In terms of gaining air and sea control within the naval battle area and at the edge of the sea and land, aircraft carriers and carrier-based aircraft have sufficient maneuvering speed and certain self-protection capabilities, and have the ability to conduct rapid air warning attacks.
capability, allowing for long-term continuous air missions.
At the same time, the entire formation goes out together in the aircraft carrier battle area, and there are many types of warships protecting it. Generally speaking, cruisers are its second defense wall, and destroyers and attack submarines are the first line of protection, with anti-submarine and anti-ship capabilities.
There are great guarantees. Coupled with the air defense attack capability of the carrier-based aircraft, it has several layers of protection. It is more difficult to attack it, because before it wanted to hit you, the maximum combat radius could be expanded to 300.
About kilometers.
Attack and defense have always been factors that must be considered in weapons of war. In addition to strong defensive capabilities, aircraft carrier formations also have particularly powerful offensive performance.
The aircraft carrier formation is a development trend in the future and a symbol of comprehensive strength. To a large extent, the overall strength can be reflected from the number of aircraft carrier formations. Therefore, the Far East Army must not only possess it, but also increase with the overall strength.
Improve and have more and better aircraft carrier formations.
At the same time, this is also the performance of the shipbuilding industry, especially technology and technology. Maritime power will also be three-dimensional, systematic, comprehensive and information-based, pushing the Far East's maritime activity capabilities directly from offshore waters to the cosmopolitan waters. Aircraft carriers
It is a large maritime airport in itself, so it can attack enemy maritime activities farther away. With an aircraft carrier battle group, it will have such strike capabilities in the mid- to long-distance seas in the future.
The navy itself is a high-tech service with intensive knowledge and complex technology. The Far East has always carefully planned the construction of its navy, otherwise it would not have the maritime combat capabilities it has today. Among the countries in the world, many countries are not relatively advanced in the overall construction of their navy.
A big breakthrough, or in other words, it has been greatly restricted by the major powers in the world today.
The development of aircraft carriers will lead to the development of other weapons. Therefore, the development of aircraft carriers is equivalent to seizing the lead in future naval construction and driving the comprehensive, systematic and coordinated development of the entire navy.
Therefore, Li Ningyu has made up his mind to take the lead in developing a large aircraft carrier formation. This aircraft carrier assault formation plans to build three assault aircraft carriers, each with a tonnage of 25,000-35,000 tons, equipped with a 15,000-ton heavy cruiser.
5 ships, 5 6,000-ton light cruisers, 20 Huaxia-class destroyers, 9 Z-2 attack submarines, 5 10,000-ton logistics support ships, and each aircraft carrier carries 60-70 aircraft, a total of about 200
, mostly fighters and a few light bombers.
However, this large-scale joint maritime formation group requires at least more than ten shipyards to work non-stop for five years to build. After all, the total construction tonnage involved reaches 330,000 tons. According to the cost of 10 million Asian dollars for 10,000 tons, the construction cost alone is
It costs 3.3 billion Asian dollars, not to mention ammunition, fuel, maintenance and other expenses.
