The aircraft carrier is a giant, want to sail safely at sea, the steel when it is built, is also special, far more than ordinary warships, which is also the reason why only a few countries can manufacture aircraft carriers. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Iraq, on the other hand, has already moved back half of the Black Sea shipyard, and at the same time, it has also moved back to Iraq the equipment, processes and personnel of the special steel plant, and Qusay does not want to be constrained in this regard.

Therefore, although the aircraft carrier's ability to resist strikes is not as strong as that of battleships, it can still resist an ordinary anti-ship missile attack.

In the past, Western countries used decommissioned aircraft carriers for testing, and after more than a dozen rounds of anti-ship missiles, the high explosives on them exploded, which only made it lose its ability to sail, and did not allow it to sink completely to the bottom of the sea.

If a few ordinary C801 series anti-ship missiles flew in, Kitty Hawk resisted hard, and nothing happened.

However, now it is different, a missile flying at several times the speed of sound, even if it is not loaded with explosives, the huge kinetic energy brought by high speed has a very powerful lethality, not to mention, it is facing not one or two, but fourteen missiles!

"Boom!" On the fifth deck, the crew heard a loud noise that almost shattered their eardrums, and then there was a flash of fire in front of them.

The high-energy armor-piercing blasting warhead successfully tore through the shell of the aircraft carrier, however, only a small incision.

Without a warhead with a charge of more than 500 kilograms, it is simply impossible to effectively penetrate the aircraft carrier, and a big guy like the Kh-41 is still not powerful enough.

Regardless of the few sailors who died and the rest entered, damage control was immediately carried out to extinguish the fire and prevent the fire from spreading.

Then, there was another crash, this time, in the aft compartment.

The Kitty Hawk groaned incessantly during the impact of the Kh-41, and this was already the eighth, although it hit the body almost at the same time, the captain of the Kitty Hawk remembered it very well.

It seems that his aircraft carrier can resist hard, and when the time comes, as long as he leaves enough time for himself to drive back.

However, this wish was shattered in the next moment.

A missile that flew in from behind penetrated into the hole that had exploded in front of it, and after penetrating it, it tore open the second watertight door, and then there was an explosion inside.

Although important weapons, ammunition and other things are all placed on the most part of the aircraft carrier, separated by several layers of steel plates, the engine room at the back is only separated by two decks.

The explosion of the missile affected the engine room.

In order to power this tens of thousands of tons of warship, the boiler of the Kitty Hawk is very powerful, and the internal pressure is also very high, this explosion will cause the boiler to be hit hard, and the place where it cracks, followed by a big explosion.

Two of the eight boilers of the Kitty Hawk had a big explosion, and suddenly, a propeller stopped rotating, and the entire boiler room was surrounded by high-temperature and high-pressure steam.

The steam affected the rest of the boilers, which also did not work properly.

The Kitty Hawk lost power completely, and because the propeller on one side first stopped, the warship yawed, and then the hull began to tilt.

A few missiles flew in and continued to hit several compartments.

The ship's tilt prevented the damage control crew from dealing with the problem in time, and they didn't have time to close the compartments, and seawater began to pour into the aircraft carrier non-stop.

The hull of the Kitty Hawk began to tilt more unconsciously.

All the crew members on the aircraft carrier suddenly turned from white to ashes, and they seemed to have realized that this aircraft carrier might not be able to escape a fate.

This is the first aircraft carrier to be sunk in a war since World War II!

The other Washington, a little better than the Kitty Hawk, just a little better.

Compared with the Kitty Hawk class, the Nimitz-class nuclear-powered aircraft carrier with a larger displacement, in addition to the hull and deck continue to use high-strength steel, which can withstand the attack of semi-armor-piercing shells, at the time of construction, the key parts, ammunition depots and engine rooms are equipped with 63.5 mm thick "Kevlar" armor, which also makes its displacement reach the scale of 100,000 tons. The ship is equipped with 23 watertight transverse bulkheads and 10 fireproof partitions, and the protection measures such as fire protection, damage management and impact resistance are complete. It is twice as capable of withstanding blows as the Kitty Hawk class. However, it also endured a little more missiles, there were nineteen anti-ship missiles, which hit its side body, and one side of it was seriously flooded, and the hull of the ship began to tilt, but because the watertight door was closed in time, the hull was not in danger of sinking.

However, judging from the surviving cruiser next to it, its deck has been noticeably tilted.

This Ticonderoga-class cruiser is one of the few that survived.

Except for the aircraft carrier, which has the kind of anti-strike ability among the battleships of World War II, the rest of the warships do not have this ability, and the Kh-41 gnaws at the aircraft carrier, but against those cruisers, destroyers and frigates, it is easy to deal with, and those with a displacement of less than 7,000 tons, as long as one shot, can definitely be dropped. And with a displacement of 10,000 tons, only two are needed.

Under this round of strikes, the US aircraft carrier group was only left with a tilting USS Washington, a Ticonderoga-class, and a Perry-class.

The rest have already sunk into the water, or are slowly sinking into the sea.

In the air, they shot down fifteen Su-27Ks with white spoon fighters, and they themselves suffered losses of seventeen, almost a tie.

And their white-spoon attack formation, before they reached the distance of launching the Harpoon missiles they carried, they had already begun to be intercepted by the escort fighters of the Iraqi aircraft carrier group.

The American Harpoon missile is a good anti-ship missile, and its performance is better than that of Exocet and C802, but its disadvantage is that it has a short range and a small speed, only a range of 130 kilometers and a speed of Mach 0.75, so it is okay to attack a single warship, and there is almost no hope of winning when attacking an aircraft carrier formation.

They did not expect that after sending nearly 100 attack fighters, Iraq would be able to maintain 20 air superiority fighters in formation to intercept them.

With their numerical superiority, they continued to approach the opposing formation, but the missiles of the anti-aircraft warships of the Iraqi aircraft carrier group successfully intercepted the missiles they launched.

Iraq's aircraft carrier squadron's air defense forces are no worse than those of the United States at all, and they are even more advanced than those of the United States.

In the past, the Soviet Union was a missile victory, so they vigorously developed all kinds of missiles, including supersonic anti-ship missiles, and ignored aircraft carriers. The United States, on the other hand, has the theory of aircraft carrier victory, and although it also attaches great importance to anti-ship missiles, it has not developed supersonic anti-ship missiles.

Due to the powerful attack power of the US aircraft carriers, in general, they have limited air defense capabilities against the hostile targets of the white spoon, and even the Soviet Union will completely defeat the Soviet Navy before the Kuznetsov aircraft carrier enters service.

Therefore, they have only now discovered that they want to attack the Iraqi aircraft carrier formation with a strength that is not inferior to their white spoon, and they have almost no chance of winning.

Because this is the Arabian Sea, they are also attacked from a distance by land-based fighters, which puts them at a complete disadvantage.

On April 10, 2002, in the Arabian Seas, the Iraqi Navy took the initiative to sink a US aircraft carrier Kitty Hawk, damaging a USS Washington, and destroying two US missile cruisers, three missile destroyers, and two frigates.

The losses of the Iraqi Navy were not at all, except for the 25 warplanes that were shot down, and none of their warships were lost.

Of course, this is on the surface, just when the confrontation between the sea and air is raging, the underwater battle is also going on, two Los Angeles-class submarines, wanting to attack the Iraqi aircraft carrier, the Iraqi submarine forces counterattacked, in the battle, they sank two American submarines, and one of their submarines, in order to protect the aircraft carrier, also suffered two torpedoes, however, it can still sail, after dark, returned to the base from the sea.

This is an exciting moment for the entire Arab world, they finally defeated the aircraft carrier formation of the United States for the first time in the front, for them, the United States into the United States, no longer a strong military presence, they can face the United States into the military thousands of involvement, proudly say, we are confident, capable of defending their own homeland, the Middle East affairs, the Middle East into their own solution!

After the aircraft carrier was damaged, the US carrier-based planes were forced to land at the nearby Yemen air base, and then Iraq immediately dispatched airborne troops to take control of the air base and capture all the American pilots.

The naval war is not over, Iraq is not allowed to the remaining warships to slip back, after the attack squadron returns, again hang bombs, catapult and take off, ready to carry out a second supplementary bombing, at this time they are no longer carrying valuable Kh-41 anti-ship missiles, but Iraq's own production based on the C801 series of anti-ship missiles, because at this time the United States into the aircraft carrier has completely failed, this attack, that is, to clean up the battlefield.

Moreover, the Aegis warships that the United States has just finished firing those long-range anti-aircraft missiles, so they will fly over from a high altitude and then drop bombs.

When they flew over, what they didn't expect was that the two remaining warships chose to surrender.

The anti-aircraft missile reserves have already been shot, the supply ships have not followed, and there are brothers who have fallen into the water all around, and if they resist, it will only be destroyed. What they need to do more is to rescue those brothers who have fallen into the water.
