Leningrad, on the shores of Lake Ladoga, there is a long row of seven-story buildings with a very modest appearance, and here is the old Soviet naval design bureau, the Neva Design Bureau. Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info{{}}..

Of course, the main purpose of Qusay's visit is not only to visit the huge warship design institutions of the Red Sè Empire and feel their demeanor, but also to explain clearly the specific modification plans and designers of the heavy aircraft-carrying cruisers that Iraq needs to be refitted. This is because the warships ordered by Iraq are not exactly the same as those produced by the Soviet Union.

The powerful granite missile, which is also very large in size, occupies valuable space, resulting in the fact that although the displacement of the Soviet aircraft carrier and the American aircraft carrier is approximately the same, the number of carrier aircraft is about half, and the Soviet Union let the aircraft carrier take on the work of the cruiser, but the Iraqi aircraft carrier will not take that road. Aircraft carriers are used to load aircraft, and the combat effectiveness of aircraft carriers does not lie in how many powerful missiles they are equipped with, but in how many powerful fighters they have on it, so Qusay proposed not to use Granite as an ultra-long-range anti-ship missile, on the one hand, the Soviet Union will definitely not give it, on the other hand, even if the Soviet Union gives it, he will not install it on the aircraft carrier for use, and carrier-based aircraft are the key. {{}}

Of course, this is caused by the difference in the operational thinking of the two sides, and the mission of the Soviet aircraft carrier is to provide limited air supremacy and help its own ballistic missile nuclear submarines reach the starting position under the protection of the attack nuclear submarine, so they do not need so many carrier-based aircraft at all, and the idea of nuclear war. It was a Juche idea of the Soviet Union, which has been following the path of tube miniaturization, also for nuclear war.

Moreover, because the Soviet Union still has far fewer ships than the United States, it has to pursue large and comprehensive, and pile all its weapons on aircraft carriers, American aircraft carriers. If there is no formation, you will never dare to come out, but. The aircraft carriers of the USSR, even if only one of their own, could continue to fight. With perfect air defense, anti-submarine and anti-ship capabilities, even if there are no carrier-based aircraft, it can continue to fight, which is why the Soviet Union stubbornly called it a heavy aircraft-carrying cruiser instead of an aircraft carrier.

When they arrived at the design bureau, Cusay and his party were warmly welcomed, and Gorshkov was a frequent visitor here, and he could name everyone here. {{}}

In a large conference room on the third floor. The two sides sat down, and Qusay met with the head of the Neva Design Bureau, the chief designer Anikeyev, and the designer Belov and others.

It was during the design of the Type 11433 (that is, the fourth modification of the Kiev class) that Anikiev took over the head of the entire design bureau and presided over the design of the Type 11434 (that is, the Brenev on the slipway today). Later renamed the aircraft carrier Kuznetsov), he stood almost at the peak of the design of surface ships in the entire Soviet Union, and now, mainly responsible for the regular affairs of the design bureau.

And the design of the latest Type 11437, that is, the nuclear-powered aircraft carrier Ulyanovsk, has been designed since last year under the leadership of the chief designer Belov. This aircraft carrier. It was the first supercarrier in the Soviet Union to be equipped with bombs and carry 70 aircraft.

"Everyone has received the news that we will design an improved aircraft carrier in the 11434 type for Iraq, because the Iraqi side does not need to use our P-700 missiles, so it needs to be redesigned, and Iraqi President Qusayi wants to talk to our design bureau. {{}}," Gorshkov said.

After saying that, the Soviet side applauded and welcomed the arrival of Qusay, looking at these confident designers, they were very proud, because, under their hands, the most powerful warship of the Soviet Union was designed.

For the Soviet Union, from the Moskva-class helicopter carrier, to the Kiev-class cruiser and the composite product of a small aircraft carrier, and finally to the current supercarrier, there are many valuable experiences in it, and a small design mistake may lead to a disaster, and the amount of work is quite huge.

Soviet designers are also gradually progressing, especially now, they have begun to gradually abandon the way of drawing work, the design bureau has applied a new system of automatic development of electronic technical documents, and the design bureau has become the leading unit in the development of an automated design system for surface warships. The design bureau is equipped with electronic computers that ensure a fully automated system for the preparation of construction drawings, cable registrations and other text files (which constitute 70 per cent of the total number of construction documents). Moreover, the Ministry of Shipbuilding Industry and the Ministry of Communications of the USSR jointly decided to create a special communication channel for the Neva Design Bureau - the Black Sea Shipyard. In the future, in 1987, the design bureau's automated design system - factory automation production design technology preparation system was put into use.

In fact, although the Soviet Union has only built a few super-large surface ships in total, and the real aircraft carrier that goes straight to the deck has not come down from the slipway, the Neva Design Bureau has long designed many aircraft carriers on the drawings, which is the repeated attempt of the commander of the Soviet Navy Gorshkov, who has always longed for an invincible fleet that can compete with the US Navy, but because of the reasons at the top, he is always vetoing his plans.

Therefore, their design experience is actually very rich, the 11437 aircraft carrier only began to design last year, but now, it has been basically finalized, the overall design has been completed, and when the second ship of the 11434 type Varyag begins to lift the components to the slipway, this type of aircraft carrier can start to build components next to the slipway 0. {{}}

"Actually, I'm a complete layman when it comes to designing our heavy aircraft-carrying cruisers, but I have some ideas that I would like to mention to you, and if there is anything wrong, I still need you to correct it." Qusay said very modestly at this time, of course, no one took this seriously, because, just halfway through the meeting, Qusay's gushing theories already let them know that this guy from Iraq in front of them had personally boarded the aircraft carrier? How did he know so clearly?

"First of all, because we don't need huge anti-ship missiles, that space can be freed up and fully connected to the back deck, which can greatly increase the area of the hangar." Qusay said.

The Type 11434 aircraft carrier has a total of seven decks, of which the upper two floors are open and used as hangars, but this hangar is blocked by anti-ship missiles at the front and can no longer be extended. And the aircraft carrier that Iraq needs, without anti-ship missiles, Qusay naturally has to propose to get through.

For this, the designers have already thought that Cusai will definitely ask for such a design, but then, they do not think of Kusai's request.

"Second, we need to reduce the size of the island, the island of the heavy aircraft-carrying cruiser you are building is too large, we need to reduce the volume by more than half." Qusay said.

The slipway 0 is not closed, and the reconnaissance satellite overhead will pass by at any time to check the progress of the construction, so as early as when the keel was laid, the United States began to reconnoiter in outer space non-stop, and the photos have long appeared in the newspapers of the world's mainstream media, so although Qusay said so, no one thought that Qusay was engaged in espionage.

There is a big reason for Qusay to say this, and now, Iraq has such an opportunity to acquire an aircraft carrier, and it must be made worth the money. Kusay, who came from later generations, knew very well that compared with the simple western ship island, the island of the Kuznetsov aircraft carrier was almost twice the size of the Kitty Hawk, and the huge size of the ship island caused the center of gravity to move to the right and up, and another big disadvantage was to reduce the usable area of the deck.

The aircraft on the aircraft carrier, in normal times, is placed in the hangar, so that the corrosion problem caused by seawater salt can be reduced as much as possible, and when in use, it is lifted by the side lift, and in the hangar, refueling, hanging bombs, maintenance and other work have been completed, which is very convenient.

However, as long as the aircraft carrier goes to sea, it will take off and land fighters at any time, so in the actual use of the aircraft carrier, it is more advantageous to park on the deck, and it can be pulled to the runway at any time to carry out a bomb shè or glide take-off, so, in addition to the take-off area and landing area, the larger the remaining available area of the deck, the more aircraft can be accommodated, in wartime, this is even more important, and, in wartime, in order to load more fighters and improve combat effectiveness, a part of the hangar is parked, At the same time on the deck to park an additional part of the additional.

The larger the aircraft carrier, the higher the cost-effectiveness ratio, which is also the reason why the United States has eliminated small and medium-sized aircraft carriers and vigorously developed supercarriers. It's not cost-effective to let the huge ship island use up valuable deck area.

Therefore, taking into account various factors, Qusay proposed that it is necessary to shrink, shrink, and shrink the ship island, and moreover, after the ship island is reduced, it will also be conducive to the pilot to have a clear line of sight when landing.

In later generations, the Liaoning has been built, and it is impossible to shrink the shipyard, but now, since it is a new aircraft carrier, Qusay will not let himself have regrets.

Who knows, hearing Qusay's words, the two main designers shook their heads: "President Qusay, we are very curious, why did you ask to reduce the volume of the ship island?" Second, do you know that there are a lot of useful equipment in the ship island, if the size of the ship island is reduced, then how do you plan to place the remaining ones? ”

Gorshkov was also very curious, which one did Kusay sing?
