: Thirty thousand ton arsenal ship! A 120,000-ton aircraft carrier!
[Picture: Kirov-class cruiser (arsenal ship)]
As the name suggests, the arsenal ship carries an overwhelming number of weapons and can carry out all-round firepower strikes against the enemy.
This is a brand new surface ship between a battleship and an aircraft carrier.
Eagle Nation proposed this idea at the end of the 20th century and planned to build a brand new battleship of the 21st century, known as the world’s number one battleship.
Arsenal ships are actually variations of battleships.
In the early twentieth century, due to the development of aircraft, aircraft carriers appeared in the navy. With the development of World War II, aircraft carriers gradually replaced battleships with a range of only thirty or forty kilometers and became the absolute main force of the navy.
But with the emergence of missiles, this kind of launch platform carrying a large number of various missiles seems to have the possibility of replacing aircraft carriers.
Because fighter planes need to be piloted, training a pilot requires a huge amount of time and money.
Missiles are not needed. Even in the future, fighter planes will become unmanned, and then warships will become a pure weapons launch platform.
The arsenal ship was proposed based on this again.
Although it was the Yingguo people who first proposed the concept of arsenal ships, the first one to build an arsenal ship was the Soviet Union.
The Kirov-class nuclear-powered missile cruiser has a full load displacement of 25,000 tons. Its power system is two nuclear reactors and two steam turbines. It is equipped with more than 400 missiles of various types. It can carry out strategic nuclear strikes, ground tactical strikes, and counterattacks. missile strike, anti-submarine strike.
Although its huge body still has the style of a cruiser, it does not prevent the world from calling it an ‘arsenal ship’!
Although the Soviet navy was targeted by the NATO group headed by Eagle Country during the Cold War due to its backward aircraft carriers.
But as long as the Soviet Union’s nuclear-powered arsenal ship is dispatched, the entire Western world will be frightened and on standby, fearing that this big guy will accidentally launch hundreds of missiles or even nuclear bombs, causing a global nuclear war!
How can we have less of such a great big toy!
Wang Yao directly skipped the 10,000-ton large destroyer and began planning an arsenal ship.
First of all, the tonnage needs to be larger, just 30,000 tons. The radar system is the most advanced, as is the fire control system. The engine is nuclear powered. As for the naval guns, there are a few 100 mm and 130 mm naval guns.
In terms of arsenal, there are 128 anti-ship missiles and intercontinental missiles, 40 anti-submarine missiles, 192 long-range air defense missiles, and 128 medium-range air defense missiles.
The short-range air defense is handed over to forty Sea Sparrow air defense missiles, and the close-in defense system is handed over to eight 20mm Gatling close-in defense guns.
A total of four hundred and eighty-eight missiles of various types!
The missiles launched by these vertical launch units can also carry nuclear warheads and carry out strategic nuclear strikes on the enemy’s homeland!
Seeing such a beautiful arsenal ship, Wang Yao couldn’t help but add various equipment modules to it.
For example, the number of helicopter hangars has been increased to five, which can accommodate five KA-27 ship-based helicopters.
This helicopter can not only carry out maritime rescue missions, but can also carry fish, rocket launchers, depth bombs and even anti-tank missiles. It is a very comprehensive ship-based helicopter.
By adding more and more, Wang Yao increased the full load displacement of this arsenal ship to 32,000 tons.
But it’s not a big problem.
After everything was selected, Wang Yao pressed the optimization button, and the red alert system would automatically optimize the ship, conduct simulations within the system, and integrate the optimal solution.
Finally, an arsenal ship with a full load displacement of 32,000 tons and a capacity of carrying 488 various missiles was released!
“A warship of this size would definitely be classified as a cruiser by the outside world.” Wang Yao looked at his work with satisfaction and began to think of a name.
“Let’s call it the Warring States-class! The first ship, Baiqi!”
This strategic deterrent weapon, which is no weaker than aircraft carriers and battleships, must of course have a resounding name!
As the number one general of the Great Qin Empire, Wu Anjun’s name was enough to intimidate him!
Wang Yao also wanted to use this method to make the names of Qin and Bai Qi known throughout the world.
In the future, when your territory becomes more and more, your navy will definitely grow more and more, even surpassing the Eagle Nation Navy!
By then, what are the four famous generals of the Warring States Period! The Ten Great Generals of Spring and Autumn! They will all be remembered by the whole world with their ship names!
After selecting the arsenal ship, Wang Yao began to inspect the aircraft carrier.
First of all, aircraft carriers below 100,000 tons are directly ignored.
At the very least, it has to match the Ford-class aircraft carrier of Eagle Country!
The full load displacement is set at 120,000 tons, the power system is two nuclear reactors, the deck is 344 meters long, the speed is 30 knots, and the two RIM-116RAM air defense systems can be fully loaded with 75 various types of fighters and a crew of 4,600 people.
Among them, the carrier-based aircraft consists of one anti-submarine aircraft squadron and eight anti-submarine aircraft; one AWACS squadron and five AWACS aircraft; one helicopter squadron with eight armed helicopters and transport helicopters; one bomber squadron with eight MiG-29 fighter-bombers and five fighter squadrons , forty MiG fighters or fifth-generation fighters.
The last squadron is the reserve squadron.
This allows carrier-based aircraft damaged in battle to be quickly replaced or repaired.
This class of large aircraft carrier is designated as the ‘Imperial Class’, with the first ship being the ‘Da Qin Empire’!
In terms of the choice of aircraft carrier-based aircraft, the MiG-29 already has a carrier-based aircraft version, which can be used directly.
Moreover, he also has a fifth-generation fighter in his hand, which can be used as a carrier-based aircraft with a few modifications.
Finally, there is the 10,000-ton large destroyer that Wang Yao jumped over just now.
430 This class of destroyer has a full load displacement of 13,000 tons. It is equipped with the most advanced active phased array radar and fire control system. It has 120 vertical launch units and can launch various anti-ship missiles, cruise missiles, and air defense missiles. missiles, anti-submarine missiles and even tactical missiles carrying nuclear warheads.
It also has electronic countermeasures systems, jammer launchers, etc.
The close-in defense system consists of Sea Sparrow air defense missiles, 76mm naval guns, and 30mm machine guns.
It has a crew of 380 and a maximum speed of 31 knots.
Of course, the navy is indispensable for submarines.
Launch the Borei-class nuclear submarine directly!
It has a full load displacement of 24,000 tons, a nuclear-powered propulsion system, six 533mm torpedo launch tubes, and 16 D-30 missile launch units. It can launch sixteen intercontinental ballistic missiles and carry out strategic nuclear strikes against targets within a range of 10,000 kilometers. !
Two nuclear submarines, one aircraft carrier, one arsenal ship, three 10,000-ton large destroyers, five 7,500-ton destroyers, eight 3,000-ton frigates, and 1,500-ton class frigates Twelve patrol ships.
The three Red Alert shipyards directly built aircraft carriers, arsenal ships and nuclear submarines, and subsequent shipyards successively built other destroyers, frigates, patrol ships, etc.
I believe that soon, when Wang Yao’s imperial navy is unveiled, the whole world will be shocked! .
