The Black Sea Shipyard, the largest shipyard in the Soviet Union, the only base for the manufacture of aircraft carriers!

With the entry into service of two Kiev-class, the Soviet navy ushered in a glorious new era, and in addition to the US Navy, there is no second country's navy, with such strength, the British invincible class? That's a joke! While preaching the uselessness of large aircraft carriers, the United States also advocated the benefits of vertical short take-off and landing fighters, so that the British were all tricked and made invincible-class chicken ribs. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

The Soviets will not be fooled, the Yak-38 has been abandoned, and the Soviet aircraft carrier needs to be a super-large aircraft carrier like the United States!

Andrey's visit began with the third ship of the Kiev-class aircraft carrier that had already been built on the pier, and the layout of the bow jump deck plus the side beveled deck made the deck of this aircraft carrier look very neat.

"The layout of the first jump deck and the beveled deck allows us to take off and land without interfering with each other." Gorshkov said: "In this way, our combat effectiveness will be greatly improved, and the efficiency of deck operations will be higher than that of the first two ships of the Kiev class, so that many people in our navy want to call this third ship a new type of aircraft carrier." ”

If you look at it from the outside, it is indeed new, on the deck, there are no more dense weapons, it looks more regular, but...

"What is the number of carrier-based aircraft that can accommodate our warship?" Andrei asked, how efficient an aircraft carrier is in sortie depends on the carrier-based aircraft.

"If you count only the internal hangar, we can carry sixteen MiG-23Ks, two AWACS aircraft, as well as four helicopters." The director of the Black Sea Shipyard, who came up with him, said Makarov.

Andrei frowned, in this case, the ability to carry aircraft is almost the same as the previous two warships, or even less! As for the reasons for this, Andrei, of course, is also clear.

The Red Navy of the USSR did not give up the pursuit of shipborne weapons, and now the deck seems to be flat, and that is because of the transfer of huge anti-ship missiles below the deck!

Like the later Kuznetsov, anti-ship missiles are stored in the lower part of the front of the flight deck, which greatly affects the hangar area below, because the hull has not changed, so the storage capacity of fighters is less than those two!

Andrei shook his head: "Marshal Ustinov, Marshal Gorshkov, now, in our top echelons, still think that our aircraft carriers should go their own way and add huge anti-ship missiles to them to occupy valuable hangar space?" Andrei asked.

What are aircraft carriers for? It is used to load carrier-based aircraft, which is the most powerful weapon! The last conflict has clearly illustrated this problem!

Andrey, that is, a staunch supporter of Western aircraft carriers, this kind of chicken-like existence is not suitable at all!

Ustinov said to Andrei: "Andrey, the Ministry of Defense has made a serious judgment and concluded that your proposal is correct, but our No. 3 ship can no longer be modified, so our No. 3 ship is still built according to the original design, but the aircraft carrier of the new class has been completely changed." ”

The third ship, it can be said that there are more ingredients of chicken ribs! This is Andrey's impression, and for the Northern Fleet, which is in a hurry to receive a new aircraft carrier, it is an absolute treasure.

Because of the deterioration of the situation in the Far East, the first two aircraft carriers were assigned to the Pacific Fleet, and as the boss of the Soviet fleet, the Northern Fleet is still waiting for the third aircraft carrier, and now in the process of sea trials, it is the officers and men of the Northern Fleet who will operate it, and they must adapt to the operation of the aircraft carrier in advance.

"The operation of the aircraft carrier is of great importance, and some experienced officers and men of the Pacific Fleet can be transferred to help the Northern Fleet master this aircraft carrier." Andrei said.

The officers and men of the Northern Fleet expressed their gratitude for Andrei's proposal and invited Andrei to continue his visit to the warship, but Andrei declined this kindness, and Andrei's heart had already flown to the aircraft carrier in the harbor that was almost completing the main construction on the slipway.

From this side, you can see the straight deck of that aircraft carrier! That's a brand new aircraft carrier!

So, without staying on the third ship for too long, the group came to the new aircraft carrier under construction.

"According to the original plan, our Kiev-class should build four warships of the same type, but after the reaction of the naval department, our original design is far from meeting the needs, so we have made major changes to the second and third ships, and at the same time, the construction of the fourth ship has been canceled, and our newly built class is a new type of warship that meets the future needs of our navy. This warship, at the same time, we also became the first aircraft carrier of the Soviet class, called the Soviet Union. Makarov said.

Soviet-class aircraft carriers! In this history, this is actually a number given to the Kuznetsov-class aircraft carrier, but this number has experienced the rise and fall of the Soviets and has undergone countless changes. At the same time, this warship is still very different from the Kuznetsov-class aircraft carrier.

"Our aircraft carrier has a standard displacement of 60,000 tons and a full load displacement of 80,000 to 85,000 tons." Gorshkov said proudly: "We are ready to deploy four catapults, which can catapult carrier-based aircraft and take off, and the combat effectiveness of this aircraft carrier is completely comparable to that of the Nimitz-class aircraft carriers of the United States." ”

Standing on the deck that has been completed, looking at the empty deck around it, you can feel the huge size of this aircraft carrier, the last time I came, I just said that the new aircraft carrier has a displacement of 60,000 tons, and this standard displacement and full load displacement represent different meanings, it can be said that the largest warship carried by the Soviet Ship, representing the strength of the Soviet country!

The ship island has not yet been hoisted, Andrei is standing on the deck, his heart is surging, the leaping deck in front is gone, it is all straight, four catapults, and the combat effectiveness of the American aircraft carrier is almost the same! The Soviets finally had the capital to dominate the seas! If you look at it in terms of volume, it is the same as the nuclear-powered aircraft carrier Ulyanovsk, which in Soviet history was not even built with a hull, and the construction of this aircraft carrier began in 88 years in history.

"How many carrier-based aircraft is our aircraft carrier designed to be loaded?" Andrei asked.

"It is expected to carry 48 MiG-23K or other carrier-based fighters, 10 Su-25 attack aircraft, 4 AWACS aircraft, and 16 helicopters." Gorshkov said.

Andrei's face was happy, this is the real supercarrier of the Soviet Union, the force that should have! This aircraft carrier is enough to sweep a medium-sized country out! (To be continued.) )
