"In other words, the conventionally powered aircraft carrier program that you proposed earlier has been approved. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info And this time I stepped down, on the one hand, to make a statement for this crisis event and take the responsibility; On the other hand, it also shows that the government intends to take back the army's right to do business, and in the future, all the daily expenses of the army will be financed by the state, and the ownership of the commercial projects under the name of the navy will also be fully returned to the government. ”

The army's ban on doing business has made it clear that it is a cancer to be cut off during this term, whether it is the navy or the air force, everyone understands it, and it is impossible to say anything against it, although this will lead to a reduction in some gray income of the army, but it is clear that this place will be moved, who dares to do it?

However, the Navy can get some compensation at this time, and there is a state allocation to support the construction of an aircraft carrier, which is not a big loss, after all, other branches of the military are also prohibited from doing business, and the Navy can take this opportunity to negotiate and get an aircraft carrier construction index, which is already very good, what kind of bicycle do you want?

Hearing the old leader say this promise in person, the navy bosses didn't know whether to be happy or sad: "Approval of the big ship project, this is indeed a good thing, our dream that we have planned for many years is about to come true, but we didn't expect that in the end it was exchanged for the sacrifice of the old leader, we really ..... in our hearts."

The dream of many years is about to come true, and no one can suppress the excitement in his heart, including Deputy Leader Liu, but because he knew these earlier, he naturally has to behave more peacefully at this time, and he knows more clearly about this hard-won aircraft carrier construction index.

However, in his opinion, this is only the beginning: "Although the big ship project has been approved, they have also severely limited the funding of this ship, which means that this ship must be built using previously proven technology, and it cannot cost too much, and the project can only be developed and built on the basis of various original technologies, you know what this will mean, right?" ”

People are sitting here, Deputy Leader Liu is reluctant to talk about those sad issues, let alone talk about the fact that he is about to retire, so to discuss the aircraft carrier that everyone is more concerned about, and imagine a better future, this seems to be more appropriate, although according to the previous negotiations, the requirements given by the other party, the specifications of the first big ship have already been set in their hearts, but every time they say it, it is so exciting.

And for these requirements, the navy also has its own ideas: "No problem, we didn't think about using immature technology, otherwise we would be blind in preparing all kinds of technologies for so many years!" First of all, in terms of power system, we use four 453B gas turbines, which were previously installed on the light fleet aircraft carrier of Bazin Shipyard, and the performance is quite good, so the performance of this power is very reliable, and this also determines the tonnage of our aircraft carrier, the full row is about 60,000 tons, and the power can be fully satisfied. ”

In fact, the navy has been yearning for the big ship plan for many years, and various subsystems developed before have been formed, so subject to the design of the subsystems, the general specifications of the big ships have long been known, and it is not new to say it.

"That's right, the full load displacement of 60,000 tons can be achieved, for some of the designs, we can refer to the 1143.5 aircraft carrier obtained from the Black Sea Shipyard before, the various compartments and system layouts below the waterline can be referred to a lot, and the designs above the waterline are all overturned designs, and the steam catapult steam pipeline layout refers to the reverse experience on the previous Melbourne aircraft carrier, and the deck part we take the American-style aircraft carrier route, so this is at least a large ship similar in appearance to the Midway class."

Not to mention, the specifications of the big ship this time are really very similar to the Midway-class aircraft carrier, the power output, the total tonnage, and the way the fighter takes off, these are completely similar, but in the arrangement of the catapults, the design of the two ships is definitely not the same, and the two steam catapults in the bow of the Midway Island are definitely impossible to copy as they are.

"On the issue of catapults, I know that your navy used to have a total of two voices, and the design requirements for using two catapults and three catapults were both. However, after this time, these arguments can be settled, according to the requirements of saving money as much as possible this time, three catapults are impossible in the first place, this time the design scheme of two catapults will be adopted, one on the beveled deck, one on the right side of the foredeck, which will ensure that when the catapult on the foredeck performs the catapult take-off work, the aircraft carrier can also perform the fighter recovery operation. ”

The design scheme of using two catapults is actually the most suitable scheme for the 60,000-ton aircraft carrier, although the 60,000-ton aircraft carrier has no problem forcibly carrying three catapults, but it will increase the design requirements in all aspects, especially the volume of the catapult is more stringent, and this is really not good news for the republic that built a catapult aircraft carrier for the first time, so it is not wrong to be stable.

Since the grantor requires the use of two catapult schemes, there is really no way, after all, one more catapult will cost more money, especially the current steam catapult, although the performance is still reluctantly acceptable, but the maintenance cost is not low at all, one less catapult can be regarded as able to save some money.

After determining the problem of the two catapults, at this time someone began to add, but there was a feeling of hindsight: "That's right, the scheme of using two catapults is the best at present, our catapults are generally lagging behind the United States in technology, and in order to catapult the J-18 fighter in a fully loaded state, and the planned early warning aircraft later, the catapult will have a longer cylinder stroke, which leads to the fact that even if we arrange two catapults in the bow of the ship, but when performing the task of recovering the fighter, The catapult on the left side also doesn't work, so it's better not to install it. ”

In fact, it is not an unusual design to install a single catapult in the bow on the right side, at least the British CVA-01 aircraft carrier program and the Soviet Union's 1153 aircraft carrier program that was suspended, which is not a big mistake.

The first aircraft carrier of the Republic is more positioned in the role of testing, it not only has to test the technology of building aircraft carriers, but also to test the technology of using aircraft carriers after service, and in the technology of using aircraft carriers, the technology of taking off and landing carrier-based aircraft at the same time must be considered, it is based on this requirement, coupled with the technical limitations of the catapult, it is not difficult to understand that the catapult in the bow is set on the right side.

As for saying that the catapult is set on the right side will cause a waste of fighter scheduling, there is no way to do this, and now under the technical limitations, it can only do this, and wait until the catapult technology goes up in the future, which can ensure that the cylinder length is shortened, so when the second aircraft carrier is designed, the catapult is changed to the left side, and even two catapults are arranged in the bow, which is not impossible, anyway, this aircraft carrier is based on the republic's own design and manufacturing, and it is relatively simple to change the design.
