Chapter 825 The situation of the transformation of the tall fat man
In terms of warship transformation, there are only a few items: power, firepower, armor, and more complex radar aiming devices. There are only two items, namely power and firepower. Compared with these two, the other two items are not that important, especially for historical warships, Gao Fatty can be said to have part of the power system solved. At least Gao Fatty basically does not need to consider the issue of steam power efficiency in the future. Gao Fattyty needs to consider diesel power in the future.
Compared with the speed, Lord Queen promised that the firepower problem of the carrier-based aircraft drawings will basically be solved. The aircraft carrier relies on carrier-based aircraft to speak. As for the anti-aircraft gun, Miss Dignity now has a very good air defense capability. There is no problem with the anti-aircraft gun after the future awakening. Moreover, since the Glory Shipwoman has been transformed from a large cruiser into an aircraft carrier in history, the level of controlling the artillery of the Glory Shipwoman is not comparable to that of Miss Dignity. In this way, even if there are some problems with the anti-aircraft guns of the Glory Shipwoman, there is no major problem with the control of the Glory Shipwoman. In this way, there will be basically no major transformation problems for the aircraft carrier in the future.
The three battleships have a more serious problem, but as long as the diesel power is solved, there is basically no major problem. There is no need for too much transformation in firepower. The main gun used by Royal Oak is the same as the main gun used by Hood girl now. Hood girl has no plan to replace the main gun, which means that Hood girl thinks that the main gun is enough, and Royal Oak, which has the same main gun as Hood girl, has no need to change the main gun. The situation in Colorado is the same as that of Royal Oak, and Maryland and West Virginia have not replaced the main gun. In this case, the improvement of firepower in the future by Royal Oak and Colorado is mainly to enhance the performance of the existing main guns.
The situation of the Hau will be a little special. Fatty Gao has already figured out the problem of the transformation of the quadron main gun turret of the Hau. In history, the failure of the quadron main gun turret plagued the King George V-class battleship to which the Hau belonged. The problem of this quadron turret in history was that it was too complicated. At that time, there were more than one level of battleships with four-unit main guns in the world. Currently, the French sisters of the French Academy of Justice, the three sisters of Richelieu and Strasbourg were all battleships of the quadron main guns. There was no problem of the quadron main gun turret failure in the Richelieu class battleship. Fatty Gao planned to use the Richelieu class battleship method to solve the problem of the quadron turret.
The structure of the four-unit main gun of the Richelieu class battleship is very different from that of the four-unit main gun turret. The four-unit main gun turret of the Hao is a veritable four-unit turret. The structure is extremely complex due to the excessive four-unit problem. In addition, the space is limited, resulting in frequent failures. There have been many failures in combat in history. In the famous Battle of the Denmark Strait, the four-unit main gun turret of the four-unit battleship, the four-unit main gun turret of the four-unit battleship also seriously affected the battle of the Prince of Wales.
Unlike the King George V-class battleship of the British King of the United Kingdom, which belongs to the Hau, the four-unit main gun turret of the Richelieu class battleship is more like two double-unit main guns in parallel. The four-unit main guns are in groups in two groups, and there is a partition in the middle. This structural effect is obvious. Although the Richelieu battleship in history has been blown up due to the launching of drugs, the four-unit main gun turret has never been broken. History has proved that Richelieu's four-unit main gun turret is relatively successful. This is the transformation of the four-unit main gun turret of the Hau battleship. This transformation project is not big but it is definitely not small. This is because the Hao has a double-unit main gun turret. Otherwise, such a transformation would be as difficult as the sky. Compared with the Gao Fat's initial idea, this was a relatively small transformation.
History has proved that the four-unit main guns of battleships are not very successful. The four-unit main gun will cause the center of gravity problem because the turret is too heavy, and the armored belt defense problem will be a lot more important if the four-unit main gun is replaced with a triple main gun. In many cases, the main gun caliber will be greatly improved. In many cases, the battleships are not fire projection ability but single firepower intensity. In this way, compared with the three-unit main gun, there is no obvious advantage in the four-unit main gun, on the contrary, the disadvantage is very large. So at the beginning, Fatty Gao wanted to transform the Hao into a battleship with the triple main gun.
Royal Oak and Colorado are both dual main guns. It is not possible for these two battleships to be transformed into triple main guns, but they will definitely not maintain their current caliber, so Fatty Gao will not be transformed like this. The Hao is different. The Hao can be transformed into a battleship with three triple main guns, which can save the weight of the next main gun. The transformation of the power system will also be much less difficult because of the weight of one main gun. You should know that the Hao is different from the Royal Oak and Colorado. The Hao has a speed requirement, but it seems that it is difficult to complete the situation of Fatty Gao, which requires major modifications to the main gun turret.
In fact, learning the four-unit main gun turret of Richelieu-class battleship is a last resort for Fatty Gao. You must know that the four-unit turret can be changed to a triple turret, which can also increase the caliber of the main gun without considering the transformation of the power system. No matter how you look at it, it is the correct transformation path. However, Fatty Gao is obviously impossible to complete such a much more complex transformation at present. He can only use the Hao's dual-unit main gun turret to transform the four-unit main gun turret, which is much less difficult to transform.
For Fatty Gao, in addition to the transformation of three battleships and two aircraft carriers, there is also the transformation of the Brave Little Loli. However, the transformation of the Brave Little Loli will be much simpler. Miss Dignity will eventually be an SS-class historical battleship in the future. The problem of the Brave Little Loli's anti-aircraft gun can be solved after Miss Dignity awakens. The Brave Little Loli's main gun has now been solved. Most of the equipment replaced after the awakening of the Glorious Ship Girl has been bought by Lieutenant Colonel Shang Zhi. In addition, Fatty Gao also left three secondary guns of the Glorious Ship Girl who were originally prepared for the Brave Little Loli's main gun in the future.
After thinking about this, although it was quite difficult for Fatty Gao to build five historical warships, it did not require any major transformation. The transformation required the greatest cost. The Queen of Carrier-based Aircraft has made a promise. You should know that this promise is extraordinary. The transformation of carrier-based aircraft is far more difficult than the transformation of warships. The transformation of warships can cost a lot of resources, because most equipment will not be moved after being transformed. At most, maintenance costs are costly, but carrier-based aircraft are indeed different. Each battle will suffer losses. Control costs are the most difficult and resource-consuming point in the transformation of carrier-based aircraft. From this point, it can be said that the Queen's commitment is quite remarkable.
