Chapter 264 New Aircraft Carrier 5

Li Puyu looked at the African-class battleship that was being built not far away, Li Puyu knew that the battleship was still a very lethal weapon in this period, but suddenly it was replaced by it because of the advent of aircraft carriers, Li Puyu had a different feeling in his heart, this may be the correct explanation of the hero's twilight. Huoran? Wen???? ???.? r?a?n ?e?n?`o?r?g

However, this is also the trend of the development of an era, no one can organize and reverse this trend, just like cold weapons are replaced by hot weapons, you can't choose to ignore the position of aircraft carriers in future naval warfare because you have the feelings of battleships, and stubbornly hold on to the development of this battleship that will be eliminated at any time, in the future naval warfare mode is a three-dimensional combat mode, even if you have more battleships, no matter how large the tonnage, the artillery is sharp, even if the number of enemy aircraft carriers is less than you, The results are obvious.

Everyone knows that the combat radius of an aircraft carrier is far greater than that of a battleship. Especially when those bombers or torpedo planes are carrying lethal weapons such as fish, and your battleship's artillery is also a loss.

With the development of science and technology, the arsenals of various countries have designed and manufactured super-heavy aerial bombs weighing one ton or even ten tons that can be mounted on carrier-based bombers and attack aircraft.

Isn't there a metamorphosis class bomb of this magnitude in later history?

With the development of human aviation history, the development history of aerial bombs that accompanied the aviation history is not short, and the most primitive aerial bombs still appeared during World War I, which is a bit like a land grenade being airdropped on the enemy's head. However, it was during the Second World War that it really took a leap forward.

During the Second World War, aerial bombs were rapidly developed. New types of aerial bombs, such as cluster bombs, sub-bombs, armor-piercing bombs, and napalm, have appeared one after another, and the weight of the bombs has also reached several tons.

From the end of the 3O to the beginning of the 4O of the century, Germany was the first to successfully develop and use the bomb HS-293 and FX-293 using the radio-guided mode, with two models, V2 and V3, which were successfully developed in May and July 194O, respectively, and they were aircraft-type unpowered gliding bombs made of wings, tail and guidance devices on ordinary aerial bombs, weighing about 8oo kilograms. FX-14OO is an axisymmetric guided bomb. The full bomb weighs 18oo kg and has no propulsion system. In 1944, Germany used these two bombs several times in air raids on the Italian fleet, sinking the 42,500-ton battleship 'Roma'. At the end of World War II, the United States also developed guided bombs.

After the 60s, with the progress of electronic technology and the maturity of guidance technology, guided bombs have developed rapidly, and guided bombs guided by television guidance, laser guidance, infrared guidance and radar wave have appeared one after another. In particular, after the birth of lasers in 1960, different models of laser-guided bombs appeared, the accuracy was greatly improved, and the circumferential probability error of hitting the target was also reduced to less than 7.5 meters. This makes it possible for a guided bomb to play the role of dozens or even hundreds or thousands of ordinary bombs, and greatly reduces the number of bombing and attacks by carrier aircraft, and significantly reduces the risk of being hit by enemy ground anti-aircraft fire. In the Vietnam War, the Middle East War, and the Gulf War, both the United States and Israel used guided bombs in large numbers.

Britain had built a 10-ton "Grand Slam" bomb, which was dropped on 14 March 1945 by a Lancaster heavy bomber that blew up the Bielefeld Elevated Railway in Germany. The "Grand Slam" is still the heaviest aerial bomb in the world ever used in real combat. During World War II, Germany and the United States developed guided bombs one after another.

How heavy can a shipborne artillery shell be, take the Japanese Yamato-class battleship as an example, his main gun caliber is 460 mm, and the weight of a cap-piercing shell is only 1460 kg.

What's more, the Air Force's aerial bombs can place almost all the ammunition in the missile body, and the bullet wall can be made very thin, because when this kind of aerial bomb kills and injures the enemy, it is simply using the explosives in the missile body and the internal fragments, not some other things.

This can be very clear that the ten tons of explosives in a bomb can easily sink a warship weighing tens of thousands of tons with just these ten tons of explosives.

Even if you are lucky enough to avoid it and not sink, the impact and shock caused by the explosion of this aerial bomb are enough to kill and injure a considerable number of officers and men on the ship, and everyone knows that cultivating a naval talent is a greater investment than building a warship.

Of course, this is all something in the history of later generations, but no country has made it in this era, including itself, and the reason is very simple, that is, it is impossible to find a bomber that can drop this kind of aerial bomb. So I'm going to work hard.

"Brother Puyu, it's time for the launching ceremony of the warship." Seeing Li Puyu looking at the aircraft carrier below, he seemed a little excited. Even a little lost track of time, Zhou Yanfang on the side hurriedly came to Li Puyu's side and reminded softly.

After hearing Zhou Yanfang's reminder, Li Puyu hurriedly retracted her thoughts and nodded her head to indicate that she knew. "That's right, it's time for a ceremony."

Later, Li Puyu and others came to the front of the salute under the guidance of the workers of the shipyard.

After coming to the bottom of the ceremony, the person in charge of the shipyard, together with the others around him, watched Li Puyu and Zhou Yanfang ascend to the stage together.

In the process of ascending the stage, there was even a welcome lady who handed over a bottle of champagne. This is what Zhou Yanfang will do in the near future, the props used.

"Smash the champagne and begin."

As explained in the previous chapter, champagne is a very old tradition, and among those present, the most suitable person to do this is undoubtedly Zhou Yanfang.

"Alright, it's your turn." Looking at the time on her watch, Li Puyu looked at the sun again, and then said to Zhou Yanfang on the side with a relaxed face.

After finishing speaking, Li Puyu even looked down at the champagne bottle that Zhou Yanfang was holding in her hand. This is the champagne that Li Puyu bought from France at a great price, and this bottle of wine is enough for an ordinary family to buy a Boling car, but fortunately, Li Puyu did not feel distressed.

Since the launching ceremony of the aircraft carrier, the smashed things must be more precious.

After hearing Li Puyu's words, Zhou Yanfang nodded at Li Puyu, picked up the champagne and smashed it on the bow of the aircraft carrier.

At this moment, the tugboats around collectively sounded their whistles. A cannon salute rang out all around, and the military band not far away also began to play exciting military music.
