After reading this report, Li Puyu picked up another document and browsed it, which was submitted by Navy Commander Yalvis. One?? Reading???? To be·?· COM is a report on Li Puyu's application for the development and research of a new type of aircraft carrier. Li Puyu smiled at this. Thanks to the fact that the commander of the Navy is from the Red Alert system, otherwise it is estimated that this report would have become a report on a new type of battleship.

Li Puyu knew that during this period, the so-called aircraft carriers were only warships with a certain experimental nature. The sea supremacy of this era was still the battleship, and not those later aircraft carriers. Aircraft carriers of this period are nothing more than auxiliary ships to escort battleships.

Perhaps it is for this reason that although people attach a certain amount of importance to aircraft carriers, they have never been able to rank them on the same level as battleships.

Then, the question arises.

At present, a large number of people in the navies of various countries hold the view of strong ships and sharp guns. An aircraft carrier is not a carrier-based destroyer to escort battleships. How can it be equal to a battleship with huge artillery?

Because Li Puyu is a person who came from a later generation, and with the help of the red alert system, the research of aircraft carriers in the African People's Liberation Army naval force far exceeds that of all the naval powers in the world. Because this nascent country has a leader who attaches great importance to aircraft carriers, and that is Li Puyu himself.

With the basic common sense of later generations attaching importance to aircraft carriers, coupled with the help of the Red Alert system, the African People's Liberation Army Navy was equipped with the first aircraft carrier in the second year of the establishment of the African People's Republic?????. COM And this aircraft carrier is a state-of-the-art all-through deck, and this aircraft carrier is the aircraft carrier USS Hope, the naval force of the African People's Liberation Army.

The USS Hope is the lead ship of the Hope-class aircraft carrier, and for future generations of aircraft carriers, he is a child-class. When Li Puyu saw this aircraft carrier, he complained that this was a warship modified from a battle cruiser and only had a full straight deck. His ship island is very short, and this aircraft carrier will not be laughed off by all countries in the future. But he was no laughing fare at this time. This is a symbol of a country's strength.

But it should be noted that although he was converted from a battle cruiser. But his metrics are already outstanding. Coupled with the help of the black technology of the red alarm system, his standard displacement is 15,280 tons, and the full load displacement is 16,850 tons. It can carry 45 carrier-based aircraft. This is already a large warship. In the advanced ship type, Li Puyu did not take it out.

Although the performance of this aircraft carrier is certainly very eye-catching, on the other hand, this aircraft carrier also seems to have some things that are not very good.

This is also something that cannot be helped, after all, the performance of ships in this period is not particularly good, and the most important thing is that. The performance of carrier-based aircraft, which is the most important combat power of aircraft carriers, is also hehe.

It must have been the end of the First World War at this time, and the performance of land aircraft was a mess, so there was no need to mention carrier-based aircraft. Seaplanes are not counted, but carrier-based aircraft were a novelty in this period.

Although the Air Force's aircraft can also be used on aircraft carriers, that performance will be greatly limited on aircraft carriers.

Everyone knows that there is an important factor in the reason why aircraft carriers are so powerful, that is, because the carrier-based aircraft of these aircraft carriers have brought into play, and without the existence of these carrier-based aircraft, it is very likely that even a destroyer will not be able to compare with some of the defensive weapons of the aircraft carrier itself. Of course, the artillery strike capability of a destroyer is no match for an aircraft carrier. But his torpedoes will kill the aircraft carrier.

After all, this kind of large ships are usually very resistant to beating. And the destroyer's small-caliber guns, even if they run out of shells, may not be able to inflict the slightest fatal wound on an aircraft carrier. Although the torpedoes of these destroyers have the ability to kill and injure aircraft carriers, you also have to hit the talk, isn't it?

After seeing this warship, Ampdulleni proposed to Li Puyu that the aircraft carrier should be equipped with some large shipborne weapons, such as naval guns, after all, a person of this era is cold to see such a large space on this warship, if he doesn't get some large-caliber weapons on the ship. That's a waste of space, isn't it?

But Ampdullerni's proposal was clearly decided by Li Puyu. As a latecomer, Li Puyu knows. That is, the mainstream aircraft carriers of later generations, but they will never be equipped with any anti-ship weapons on aircraft carriers. Except for the USSR, no other country did. When China received the Varyag aircraft carrier, it dismantled the anti-ship missile launchers on it.

After all, after all, the most powerful anti-ship weapon on an aircraft carrier is nothing else. It's those carrier-based aircraft on top of them, not artillery missiles or anything like that. What do you want destroyers and frigates to do with these weapons.

Since Li Puyu, as a latecomer, knows this, how could Li Puyu turn over this mistake. Isn't this a naked mistake?

Naval guns of 300mm caliber? Or even a 400mm caliber naval gun? If you get these things, you don't know how much space you'll waste. The point is, whether it has played its role or not, there is still a question mark?

However, Li Puyu still knows that an aircraft carrier must have its own defensive weapons, which is indispensable. Therefore, the aircraft carrier has been equipped with a lot of high-level dual-purpose machine guns of various models and calibers. Of course, this issue of air defense is also the most important issue of an aircraft carrier.

Anyway, when the aircraft carrier is fighting, it is usually accompanied by a large number of auxiliary ships to protect it, and Li Puyu does not need to worry at all, the aircraft carrier will not have the opportunity to fight with the enemy with bayonets. Even if those auxiliary ships were devastated, it was certain to cover the retreat of an aircraft carrier.

In any case, the admirals under Li Puyu were all from the Red Alert system, and they scoffed at the statement that battleships were the main force of the navy. So the status of the aircraft carrier was placed in front of the battleship. Everyone agrees.

At the strong request of Navy Commander Yalvis, in addition to the Hope-class aircraft carrier used as a façade, it was claimed to be used by training recruits. In addition, the construction of the new first-class aircraft carrier began in three months. It is expected to be in the water in a few days.
