Chapter 62: Good start (1/2)
”Hi-kun, what do you think of our warship?” On the deck, facing the sea breeze, Yamamoto Fifty-Six asked Cyric.
Yamamoto Fifty-Six was the captain of this aircraft carrier two years ago. Yamamoto Fifty-Six is quite proud of this aircraft carrier. Now, the Germans have specified the full set of technology for this aircraft carrier, and of course it is also Value its advanced nature.
”Mr. Yamamoto, this warship is quite advanced.” Cyric said: ”Without air supremacy, there would be no sea dominance. I believe that in the future it will prove that the future seas belong to aircraft carriers, not battleships.”
Sirek’s words won the resonance of Yamamoto Fifty-Six. When he personally commanded this warship, Yamamoto Fifty-Six also had a hunch that the future belongs to the aircraft carrier!
Using the carrier-based aircraft of the aircraft carrier, it can attack the enemy's fleet from a long distance. As long as a bomb or torpedo hits the opponent, it will cause a considerable threat to the opponent!
”However, in my personal opinion, this aircraft carrier needs to be improved a bit, and it will be more perfect.” Cyric said.
Improve? Hearing what Cyric said, Yamamoto Fifty-Six was not angry. He even took out a small notebook and waited for Cyric to speak.
Being good at learning and absorbing other people’s experiences is what the island nation is best at. Otherwise, how could they become one of the most powerful nations through the Meiji Restoration and the bigger island nation?
”First of all, I think this layout of hangars and decks is inappropriate.” Cyric said: ”With the continuous development of fighter technology, the speed of fighters will become faster and faster, and the lower deck runway is too short to adapt. The take-off needs of a high-speed monoplane.”
”At the same time, if you want to command the flight of carrier-based aircraft, it is best to have a higher command organization. Now, there is no island-style building on the upper deck. The bridge can only be set under the deck, which brings great impact to both the ship and the combat inconvenient.”
Cyric's words shocked Yamamoto Fifty-Six very much, Cyric said all the shortcomings of this aircraft carrier!
The current aircraft carrier is still a new thing. The layout of the aircraft carrier is still being explored by various countries. Of course, Cyric from later generations knows the best layout of the aircraft carrier!
”Hi-kun, what do you suggest?” Yamamoto Fifty-Six continued to ask.
”Cancel the impractical middle and lower flight decks, and remove the two twin 200mm guns in front of the middle flight deck. The upper flight deck is changed to a full-pass type, lengthened and widened, and structurally strengthened, extending to the bow for combined use Column support. The hangar extends forward and uses a lift.” Cyric said.
”At the same time, set up a ship island on the right side, two to three stories above the deck for easy command.”
Cyric is not the Virgin. These modifications are the configuration obtained after the modification of Akagi in 35 years. Now Cyric just said it in advance.
After this transformation, the number of aircraft carried has been greatly increased, and the deck area has been expanded, making it easier for aircraft to take off and land. As for the ship island, historically, the islanders actually adopted the funny left ship island layout. Now, Cyric’s suggestion , Replaced by the right.
”Xijun, I didn't expect you to have so much research on aircraft carriers!” Yamamoto Fifty-Six said, ”We will seriously consider your opinions.”
Cyric is now proposing this way, of course, he hopes the islanders will try it first. After all, even if Germany starts to build aircraft carriers immediately, the superstructure will be built in a few years.
By that time, the people of the island country had already explored the best solution, so it would be nice to come directly from the island country!
At that time, Cyric will of course suggest that the country continue to make improvements. It is not the best solution to go straight to the deck. Later, the angled deck is the best deck layout!
