Chapter 910: Dongying Demon Chapter

"First of all, everyone knows that with the emergence of dreadnoughts, the defensive pressure of warships is very high. We must ensure that the armor belt is high enough and thick enough, and at the same time, we must strengthen the deck to protect against horizontal falling bombs. The 2-inch level armor cannot directly face the super-intrepid artillery shells. Now, most British warships have not solved this defense problem well. Regarding the recent tragedy of the large fleet, as the chief designer of the navy, I I express my deep apologies, but everyone should understand the underlying reasons." Incourt put on an expression that this is not my pot, you all understand....

To put it bluntly, does it mean that the funds for returning the army are limited, and everyone emphasizes the size of the fleet so that the money for each ship is not enough...? Everyone here really understands!

"This is a cross-sectional view of the Scharnhorst-class battleship that the Japanese shared with us. I have to say that the German defense of the core compartment is perfect!" As he said, an assistant put a slide on the screen. on.

"The thickness of the German armor belt is actually not very high. The thickness of the sideboard of their battleship Scharnhorst is, but because it is tilted at a certain angle, it has gained great anti-strike ability. According to the Japanese side. According to the data and our experiments, if the 11-inch armor plate is tilted by 15 degrees, it is impossible for the 15-inch gun of the Empire to penetrate at a distance of 9 kilometers away. In theory, the queen’s 15-inch gun is simply Can’t penetrate Scharnhorst’s vertical armor belt."

"Looking at the underwater extension of the armor belt, at this position, Scharnhorst's armor belt has changed an angle, and the lower edge to the bottom of the ship is not hardened armor, but ordinary uniform armor steel with a thickness of 4 Between inches and 3 inches. This is to prevent underwater bomb attacks. At the same time, the last layer of steel plate is also very good for preventing underwater explosions."

"Another difference from our battleships is that the new German battleships do not have a vault armor. They use the weight of the vault armor on the horizontal armor, so the thickness of the horizontal armor of the German battleship is more than 3 inches! And the Japanese Fuso Class battleships also use a similar layout. The main armor belt tilted up to 18 degrees, counting the extension below the waterline, is 4 meters high. The horizontal armor is 3 inches, and the ammunition storage is 4 inches above. Underwater lightning protection The wall is between 3.2 inches and 50mm."

"How to put it, let's not say whether this defense can stop the Germans. Anyway, at least our shells are impossible to penetrate. It is estimated that the Germans want to penetrate Fusang's defenses, I am afraid it will be very difficult, right?" Ying Court said.

"But if this is the case, it is estimated that the overall armor belt is very heavy, and if I remember correctly, the captain of the Fuso is very large, and the five 15-inch twin turrets occupy a lot of space." Jericho said . (You read that right, the firepower of the battleship Fuso on this plane is 10 15-inch l42 guns!)

"Yes, the work in this area has the originality of the Japanese. They made a series of optimizations on the layout of the armor. First of all, they arranged the artillery in this way. Three turrets were placed on the front deck. The No. and No. 2 main turrets are simply captured. The No. 3 turret is leaning against the No. 2 turret, and the artillery is backward. In this way, the centralized arrangement of the ammunition depot can be realized, and the other two turrets are at the rear, which is simple Carrying the layout, between the No. 3 turret and the bridge, is the main motor compartment of the battleship. The Japanese arrangement saves space very well."

"In addition to making the weapon system as compact as possible, the Japanese also made some articles on the power cabin. They used a small German-style water tube boiler, and because there is no dome, the height of the boiler can be higher, and the total power volume is certain. In the case of higher height, the occupied area will naturally be smaller. They use a three-story boiler warehouse layout, which not only effectively saves the length, but also enhances the redundancy for underwater explosions. By the way They bought small water-tube boilers produced by Germans, of course they bought them through private channels, which saved a lot of weight.”

"But even so, the length of the main armor belt of the Fuso-class battleship has reached 60% of its full length. This length is destined to use a lot of tonnage, and the Japanese approach is to reduce the thickness and height of the front and rear armor belts, and The defense on the gun gallery has been reduced to save a lot of weight to meet the defense of the core compartment and weapons."

"For the underwater defense system, the Japanese followed the German subdivided cabin design. This is not difficult. Asama and Rurik 2 began to design like this, and when it came to the Scharnhorst class battleship, the Germans adopted The design idea is a composite defense structure of multi-layer empty silos and liquid tanks. The Japanese have three-layer silos, the outer layer is empty, the middle is the liquid tank, and the inside is the coal silo. The depth is between 3.8 meters and 4.3 meters. It is the lightning protection wall, plus the fine compartments. Although I don’t know how it compares with the underwater protection of German warships, it is definitely stronger than all our warships."

Well, although it was true, Incourt's words did hit almost everyone present.

"Okay, let's take a final look at this class of battleship. This is a huge monster with a length of 210 meters and a maximum width of 32 meters. It is equipped with 5 twin 15-inch l42 turrets. The side armor belt is Inclined 18 degrees. The horizontal armor is 3 inches to 4 inches, the front and rear armor belts are 3 inches to 4 inches, with dome armor to protect the transmission shaft and steering gear room. A total of 18 small water tube boilers, 4 steam engines, 4 Shaft propulsion, the maximum rated output power is 80,000 horsepower~www.wuxiaspot.com~ The maximum speed can reach 25 knots or more, and the standard displacement is about 31,000 tons!” Finally, Incote outlined the general situation of the warship in a few words. come out. But even so, everyone can see how powerful this Dongying Xuezang's demon knife is!

(First of all, for the question of speed, don’t compare it with the queen, because the queen’s hull design may not be good, with nearly 80,000 horsepower, it can only run less than 25 knots, which is a failure, and like Nagato, 34,000 tons In this case, it ran 26.7 knots with an output of 99,500 horsepower! Therefore, it is perfectly possible for the Fuso on this plane to run 25 knots or more.)

"It's a pity that this class of battleship is actually Japanese, not ours. When I first joined the navy, I still believed that the Royal Navy's battleships were the best." Jericho sighed involuntarily.

"Then when did you discover this was a wrong idea?" Jeram asked on the side.

"During the Philippine naval battle, when I saw the Asama-class battleship." Jericho replied.
