Chapter 880: Improvement, Improvement
readx;
The island of the Kuznetsov is huge, because it has to be equipped with various electronic equipment, as well as the living quarters of the main officers. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info{{}}
An aircraft carrier has about 2,000 people, and in addition to naval soldiers, there will also be officers of all levels, large and small, and those middle and senior officers will never agree to live below the deck, so on the huge ship island, a group of officers' living cabins are stuffed in, with a wide view and fresh air on the upper floor, but it is crowded below, although there is exhaust equipment, there is always a smell of engine oil that cannot be dissipated, and it is enough for sailors to live.
According to the proposal of the Iraqi side, the positions of the two rows of anti-ship missiles have been opened up and become hangars, and the places where the sailors who originally arranged next to the anti-ship missiles will also be transformed into hangars, so that the living environment of the personnel will begin to be crowded. How is this possible!
Therefore, this design was immediately vetoed by Anikyev and Belov, a layman, the advice put forward is really a layman, so to point fingers, thinking that he is building blocks? Make such a joke. {{}}
"The ship island only needs to accommodate the important warship cāo, the fleet command, the headquarters of the aircraft carrier battle group, and the departments of firefighting, medical affairs, communications, and radar. Only by freeing up the space on the deck will we be able to stop more planes on the deck, and the more planes can be parked on the deck, the stronger the combat effectiveness of our warships will be, and the more capable of rapid reaction will be. So. The most important deck area on an aircraft carrier is to be satisfied as much as possible. This is about the efficiency of the use of aircraft carriers. Qusay was very insistent.
Hearing Kusay's words, Gorshkov's eyes lit up a little. Because, Qusay's thinking is very similar to his!
Gorshkov has always advocated that the combat effectiveness of aircraft carriers lies in carrier-based aircraft, and he has long advocated about super-large aircraft carriers equipped with steam bombs. In the 70s, the Neva Design Bureau was instructed to design the Project 1153 nuclear-powered aircraft carrier, but unfortunately, it was rejected by the top management.
Qusay's proposal to expand the hangar. Playing shè is simply in line with his train of thought, and the statement of deck area is also a very important place. He had always hoped that the Soviet aircraft carriers would be like this. {{}}
"But then there will be at least three hundred to four hundred sailors and officers' crew cabins that cannot be solved." Belov said.
Whatever the reason, those people really can't be placed.
Originally, I thought that this sentence would make the other party embarrassed and unable to place the crew compartment. You can't change the bridge, right? Who knows, Qusay's suggestions for improvement are even bolder and more unimaginable: "Then add another layer." ”
Add a layer? None of the personnel of the Neva Design Bureau understood what Kusai meant.
"The hull of the Kitty Hawk class aircraft carrier has a total of ten layers, (some say that the deck is also counted as one floor, then eleven layers) and our aircraft carrier has only seven floors in total. Therefore, it is completely possible to add a two-meter-five-high middle layer in the middle, and with this floor, we can arrange additional crew living cabins, and we can use the extra space to arrange some living and entertainment facilities. Qusay said.
The standard displacement of the Kitty Hawk class is 60,000 tons, while the standard displacement of the Varyag, the second ship of the 11435 project that is the reference object of the Iraqi aircraft carrier, is 57,000 tons, but compared with the two, it is clear that the Kitty Hawk is more reasonable. {{}}
The bottom of the "Kitty Hawk" aircraft carrier is occupied by fuel storage, fresh water storage, weapons and ammunition storage, and engine storage on the first to fourth floors; the fifth to sixth floors are the crew's living quarters, food storage, dining room, and administrative offices; the seventh to eighth floors are the carrier-based aircraft maintenance rooms and maintenance personnel's living quarters; and the ninth to tenth floors are the hangars, combat duty rooms, and pilots' dining rooms.
And the upper four floors of the Varyag are already occupied by carrier-based aircraft, and only three floors below are placed with other things, which will naturally lead to a serious shortage of living conditions for personnel, so Qusay will propose to add one floor.
Add a layer? Hearing this, Belov almost squirted out a mouthful of water, do you think this aircraft carrier is building blocks? Seven floors is not enough, then add one, and if so, it will be necessary to make large-scale changes to the Varyag's drawings, no, it is simply a completely new design of an aircraft carrier!
"In this way, it will cause the center of gravity of the entire warship to move upward, the danger of navigation will be greatly increased, and the increased displacement will lead to a lack of power. {{}}" Although Anikyev also sighed in his heart that this is a layman, this proposal is very good, but it is a little whimsical!
"Therefore, we need to greatly reduce the volume of the ship island, so that the center of gravity will naturally move downward, and only one member cabin will be added below, with a height of less than two meters and a half, at most, the two cancel each other out, right? Moreover, the increase in displacement will not be too much, which can ensure that the original power is enough to use. "Moreover, if we add a layer to the lower part, the upper float will be larger, which means that there will be a slightly larger deck area, which will make more fighters parked..."
Qusay is a layman, however, he is convinced that there is nothing wrong with his proposal, a heavy aircraft-carrying cruiser? Although this statement sounds good, it is more real than an orthodox aircraft carrier! Iraq was given such a precious opportunity at a high price, even by signing some traitorous terms, and Qusay will not let it regret it.
Belov did not speak, although these proposals were somewhat whimsical, but he felt that such a plan was feasible, but in this case, it would not only change part of the Varyag's drawings, it would be almost like a redesign. {{}}
"Any other requirements?" Belov said.
Qusay shook his head, indicating that he had no other opinions.
"In this case, it will take at least three months to half a year for our design bureau to complete the drawings of the heavy aircraft-carrying cruiser ordered by your country." Belov said.
"We can wait, and our designers will join you to help you speed up your design." This is one thing that Gorbachev agrees with, says Qusay, but from top to bottom, foreigners are not welcome to come, and they themselves have worked closely together.
However, when the real Iraqi people came and gave each designer a Swiss watch, the atmosphere began to ease.
"There's another aspect." At this moment, Anikyev said: "I propose that you can take off by gliding, without the need for a complex steam bomb. ”
At the beginning, Qusay came up with the idea that the first part would still use the leaping deck, but on the beveled runway, two shells would be used.
An aircraft carrier without a bomb shè cannot be called an aircraft carrier, because the leaping deck is always an expedient measure, and the leaping Su-27 cannot make the bomb load reach the maximum, and it will not be able to exert its full combat effectiveness, but only equipped with a bomb shè device, which can not only take off carrier-based fighters, but more importantly, it can take off fixed-wing aircraft, such as pre-jing aircraft and anti-submarine aircraft.
After many developments and explorations, the Soviet Union finally adopted the form of this steam bomb shè on the final nuclear-powered aircraft carrier.
In terms of deck layout, the one proposed by Qusay is similar to the latest Soviet design of the Ulyanovsk heavy aircraft-carrying cruiser.
However, it did not occur that the chief designer of the design bureau actually asked Cusay to abandon this bullet.
Don't? A thought crossed Kusai's mind: Is it the Soviet steam bomb shè that is not up to par?
In later generations, only the United States, even France, bought the American steam bomb shè on the Charles de Gaulle aircraft carrier, because the technology of manufacturing steam bomb shè is very complicated.
The principle of the steam bomb shè is very simple, that is, a pair of open cylinders and a large piston. However, only the United States has mastered it, because the technology is very complex. Of course, there are many theories about how complex the method is, for example, the processing of the bullet shè is very high, and for example, the sealing of the bullet shè is difficult to solve, and some bricks finally say that it is a high-pressure container and tank welding technology.
However, no matter what the technology is, it can always be overcome by Soviet technical experts, because now the Soviet Navy's military-industrial institutions are serving the pride of the Soviet Navy, the aircraft carrier cause, and the Ulyanovsk, which has been designed, has solved this problem since it uses two shells.
In later generations, when the short-lived aircraft carrier was dismantled on the slipway, two of the bombs that had been built were installed in the Ukrainian training center.
Now, the second ship of 11435 (there is also a saying that this is called 11436, that is, order 106) is about to be put on the slipway, and the nuclear-powered aircraft carrier of the 11437 project has begun to weld components, and Qusay believes that the problem of this kind of bomb has been solved in the Soviet Union, so what does the chief designer mean? Do you want to contain Iraq in this regard? This is absolutely not possible, because he has already negotiated with Gorbachev that this time the purchase cannot be a shrinkage of goods.
"Our aircraft carriers must be equipped with bombs, which is very important for us in Iraq, and our agreement has been reached, is it possible that the great Soviet cannot build qualified bombs?" Qusay asked rhetorically. Originally, Kusai didn't intend to say that, but in order to keep these guys from prevaricating on this ground, he could only use this agitation method, you can't say that you don't have the skills yet, right?
Hearing this, Gorshkov also frowned, could it be that his own shème has not passed the test? This is one of the projects he focuses on.
