During the World War, the Chinese Navy's aircraft carrier played an extremely important role. The Chinese Navy was able to wipe out the US-British Navy joint fleet at a small cost in the naval battle of the Bahamas, and the four "Emeishan-class" aircraft carriers made an indelible contribution! In fact,
During the naval battles during this period, the Chinese Navy's aircraft carriers were almost invincible! Because China's achievements in aircraft were greatly ahead of other countries! After the Chinese Navy's aircraft carriers were put into actual combat, other countries had no effective countermeasures at all.
Means! The Chinese Navy's aircraft carrier can use aircraft carrier-based aircraft to siege the enemy's main ships beyond the range of the enemy's main ships and easily annihilate the opponent! In this process, there is basically no need to worry about being attacked by the enemy.
A blow!
Just like during the Battle of the Bahamas, the area where the naval battle occurred was far away from the United States. The U.S. Hurricane II fighter jets could not provide air defense cover for the fleet at all, and it was not even possible for the United States to have no dive bombers or torpedo attack aircraft at that time, and could not threaten China at the sea.
Aircraft carrier! Even after the main force of the Chinese navy entered Europe and several tense confrontations with Germany, four "Emeishan-class" aircraft carriers still played a huge role! Although the German Navy already had dive bombers and torpedoes at this time
The attack aircraft, but due to the performance of the fighter, has a combat radius of only 200 kilometers. The four "Emeishan-class" aircraft carriers of the Chinese Navy only need to fight on the sea surface more than 200 kilometers away from the coast to ensure their own safety!
However, in future naval battles, the Chinese Navy will no longer have such good luck! The German Navy has begun to catch up with China on aircraft carriers and fighter planes! Even if there will be a certain gap between them and the Chinese Navy at that time,
But there is no doubt that this poses a fatal threat to the Chinese Navy's aircraft carrier! Once the Chinese Navy's carrier-based aircraft unit cannot sink the enemy's aircraft carrier before the enemy's carrier-based aircraft takes off, then the Chinese Navy's aircraft carrier must do it
Be prepared to withstand the enemy's carrier-based aircraft attacks! Therefore, one of the most important tasks of the Chinese Navy's aircraft carrier battle group is air defense! In addition to the air defense firepower of the aircraft carrier itself, other warships that constitute the aircraft carrier battle group will also be burdened.
Take on air defense tasks, build tight air defense firepower on the periphery of the aircraft carrier, and shoot down visiting fighter jets as much as possible!
With the intervention of the Imperial Emperor Yuze, the Navy Department had a plan to build a special air defense cruiser. This large cruiser will act as a personal bodyguard for the aircraft carrier in the aircraft carrier battle group to provide air defense protection for the aircraft carrier!
Emperor Wang Yuze is basically satisfied with the design of the air defense cruiser submitted by the Navy! In the design plan for the large air defense cruiser submitted by the Navy, this air defense cruiser is named the 'Qin-class' large air defense cruiser. The 'Qin-class' large air defense cruiser captain
207 meters, 21.5 meters wide, 7.1 meters draft, standard displacement is 14,700 tons, full load displacement is 17,300 tons. The power is 6 large oil-fired boilers, 4 1,200 watt steam turbines, four-axis propulsion, output power is 120,000 horsepower, maximum
The speed is 35 knots. The military equipment is two dual-mounted 155mm main guns, 8 dual-mounted 120mm high-level dual-purpose guns, 24 dual-mounted 88mm anti-aircraft guns, 16 dual-mounted 40mm anti-aircraft guns and 12-mounted 20
Millimeter machine guns and nearly 30 anti-aircraft machine guns. Compared with the huge warship with a standard displacement of nearly 15,000 tons, the main gun with only a dual-equipped 155 mm seems a little weaker. However, 'Qin-class'
The main task of air defense cruisers is not to attack the sea or land, but to act as air defense operations! More than 50 dual anti-aircraft guns and dozens of anti-aircraft machine guns are enough to make the "Qin-class" large air defense
The cruiser is armed into a hedgehog. Any enemy fighter jet that launches attack on the Chinese Navy's aircraft carrier battle group will be hit by devastating firepower! Judging from the fact that an aircraft carrier battle group is equipped with two large air defense cruisers, the enemy's ships
It will be very difficult for a carrier to break through such a tight defense! What's more, the Chinese Navy's aircraft carrier itself has not weak firepower. Even if it is attacked by enemy bombers, the Chinese Navy's aircraft carrier battle group is still very large.
Maybe hold on!
The Chinese Navy currently has 9 aircraft carriers, and in the next year, there are still 5 aircraft carriers to be put into service, which means that the Chinese Navy will form 14 aircraft carrier battle groups, and the 'Qin-class' large air defense cruisers needed will also be at least 28.
!And, with the future of the Chinese Navy's "island-class" heavy aircraft carrier, more large air defense cruisers will be needed!
"The design plan of the 'Qin-class' air defense cruiser is good! How long does it take for us to build 28 ships at present?" Wang Yuze asked.
"Your Majesty, the war has ended, and the ships of the major shipyards of the Empire have been vacant! The Admiralty plans to build the first batch of 4 large "Qin-class" air defense cruisers to test the performance of these large air defense cruisers first! If qualified,
, The subsequent 24 ships will start construction one after another! All 28 ships are completed, and it is expected to take about 3 years!" Navy Minister Zhang Cheng said! The Qin-class air defense cruiser is a warship with a displacement of nearly 15,000 tons.
, if it were before the war began, such large warships would have been the main battleships of various countries! Even with the efficiency of the Chinese Navy's shipyard, it would take at least 16 months to build such a warship! Of course,
If it is during wartime, the construction time can be further compressed, but it will take about 12 months! After the first batch of 4 ships are completed, inspection will begin! After passing the inspection, the subsequent 24 ships will start construction at the same time.
Build! In this way, all the 'Qin-class' air defense cruisers will be in service in 3 years!, taken from the first 4 monarchs of the Qin Dynasty!
In terms of cruisers, in addition to the large "Qin-class" air defense cruisers, there are also new heavy cruisers! The previous "Jianghe" heavy cruisers had a maximum speed of only about 30 knots, which could not meet the high-speed combat of aircraft carriers! In addition, the "Jianghe" heavy cruisers
At the beginning of design, the cruiser did not consider air defense. Even after the air defense weapons were installed, there were still big loopholes in air defense operations! Therefore, under the suggestion of the imperial emperor Yuze, the navy's new heavy cruiser will be used as
It can not only launch attacks on sea and land, but also have air defense capabilities!
The new heavy cruiser is named "mountain-class" heavy cruiser, named after China's famous mountains and rivers! The "mountain-class" heavy cruiser is 198 meters long, 19.4 meters wide, with a draft of 7.2 meters, a standard displacement of 13,800 tons, and a full load displacement of
16,600 tons. The power is 6 large oil-fuel boilers, 4 1,200 watt steam turbines, four-axis propulsion, output power of 120,000 horsepower, and a maximum speed of 35 knots. The main gun is a three-seat triple-mounted 210 mm that the Chinese Navy has already matured.
Naval guns (two seats forward and one seat back), and the secondary guns are 6 dual-mounted 120mm high-level dual-purpose guns (one front and rear, two seats on both sides! There are 12 dual-mounted 88mm anti-aircraft guns (can be
Attacking the sea or land), 14 40mm anti-aircraft guns and 14 20mm machine guns, and can also be equipped with nearly 30 anti-aircraft machine guns! Compared with the large anti-aircraft cruiser of the Qin-class, the 'mountain-class' heavy cruiser is
The displacement is similar, but the air defense firepower is relatively weak. However, the three triple-mounted 210mm main guns are enough to pose a fatal blow to cruisers and destroyers under the enemy's main battleships, and can also be used as a Marine Corps when launching landing operations.
Provide sufficient fire support! As long as it is not facing a solid fortress, the 210mm naval gun is enough to crush all shore defense fortifications! In addition, the more than 40 anti-aircraft guns on the warship are enough to provide aircraft carriers with solid air defense on the periphery
barrier!
Apart from cruisers, the Chinese Navy no longer intends to develop light cruisers! Compared with light cruisers, the Chinese Navy is more willing to develop large destroyers! Previously, the Chinese Navy's "Fuqing-class" destroyer displacement was 1,800 tons and the main guns were two.
105mm main gun. After inspection, if the displacement of the "Fuqing-class" destroyer is amplified, it can be equipped with a 155mm main gun, which is no longer much weaker than the firepower of the "Ningbo-class" light cruiser!
Therefore, when forming a fleet with aircraft carriers as the core, the Chinese Navy will build large destroyers. The new large destroyer is named the "City-class" destroyer, 121.6 meters long, 12.5 meters wide, 4.5 meters draft, and a standard displacement of 3,400 tons.
Full load displacement is 4300 tons. The maximum speed is 36 knots. The military equipment is a dual-equipped 155mm main gun, 4 dual-equipped 88mm anti-aircraft guns, 6 40mm dual-equipped anti-aircraft guns, 6 dual-equipped 20mm machine guns, two
A five-unit torpedo launcher, two deep-water bomb launchers. At the same time, the "city-class" destroyer is equipped with a sonar system and has anti-submarine combat capabilities!
The anti-submarine weapon used by the Chinese Navy was the "Lop Nur-class" frigate. This class of frigates sank hundreds of enemy submarines during the world war. However, the first generation of sonar system was too simple and did not have it.
Air Defense Capability! In order to cooperate with the Chinese aircraft carrier battle group, the Navy Department proposed a new frigate design plan! The new frigate is named the 'Erhai class' frigate. The 'Erhai class' frigate' is 106 meters long, 10.4 meters wide, and 4 meters draft
, standard displacement 1,600 tons, full load displacement 2,100 tons, maximum speed 36 knots. The military equipment is two 120mm high-level dual-purpose guns, two dual-equipped 40mm anti-aircraft guns, two dual-equipped 20mm machine guns, and two five-unit
Install torpedo tubes, two deep-water bomb sounders, and are equipped with a new generation of sonar system. While further strengthening anti-submarine combat capabilities, they also have certain air defense combat capabilities! (To be continued. Please search for Astronomy, and the novel is better updated
