When he received the idea of building a heavy aircraft-carrying cruiser for export, the thought came to Makarov's mind, are the people above crazy?

Now, the Black Sea Shipyard can manufacture this kind of large warship, only slipway zero, this slipway has added a large crane imported from the Netherlands, improved the structure of the slipway, and has become the busiest slipway, used to make military orders, two 11435 type, plus one 11437 type, the current production task, has been scheduled for eight or eight years, before it can vacate the vacant space next to the slipway.

And to vacate the slipway, it will be after the 90s. Moreover, it is still necessary to ensure that the military does not have a continuation of the order, but, according to Makarov's speculation, the Soviet Navy needs about four nuclear-powered heavy aircraft-carrying cruisers of Project 11437 to be able to meet the needs of the Navy.

When there is an order from the military, it is natural to produce the warships needed by the military first, and only after the production of the military's warships can it produce warships for export. Therefore, what he and the current Kusay said is only a conservative estimate, and according to his speculation, it will not be the turn of the mid-nineties. {{}}

That's why he thinks that the people above are crazy, don't they know the production capacity of the Black Sea shipyard? Isn't this fooling Iraq?

Therefore, the above people agreed to this contract without asking his opinion, but he must make it clear to this young man.

Only then did Qusay remember that in the entire Soviet Union, only the Black Sea Shipyard could build aircraft carriers. And at the Black Sea Shipyard, now only slipway 0 can be built.

Queue up, this is absolutely not a queue, otherwise, the main purpose of my visit this time will be frustrated.

Find a way to solve this problem! At least at the end of the year. It's going to start the construction of the aircraft carriers that the USSR built for itself!

Qusay also knows that this problem of building an aircraft carrier is very technical. Looking at the world, there are only a handful of countries that can build aircraft carriers, far less than those that can build oil tankers of several tens of tons. Because, building an aircraft carrier requires a lot of technical problems, and Ah San, who was later in life, bought a modified second-hand aircraft carrier with almost the money that could build a new ship after being raised several times by Russia, and finally felt that he was at a loss and began to build an aircraft carrier himself, and as a result, it took half a year. {{}} is silent.

The first problem in building an aircraft carrier is steel, which can withstand the waves of the ninth level at sea and the violent impact of the carrier-based aircraft when it lands on the ship. It's very high, higher than the steel needed to build a submarine with a large dive depth. Hundreds of thousands of tons of oil tankers, as long as they can be loaded with oil, can sail safely. And the aircraft carrier of tens of thousands of tons needs to be accelerated to 30 knots, and the power issue is also very critical. If you want a carrier-based aircraft to take off, you must have enough speed, and most of the tankers of hundreds of thousands of tons can only maintain a speed of less than twenty knots, and ordinary high-power marine diesel engines will do, but aircraft carriers either use steam turbines or nuclear power. The later Charles de Gaulle aircraft carrier also used nuclear power, but the power equipment adapted from the nuclear submarine was not enough, resulting in the aircraft carrier only accelerating to a maximum of 28 knots, which increased the danger of the aircraft taking off.

All kinds of technical problems discourage countries that want to build their own aircraft carriers, but for the USSR, these are not problems, the only problem is the slipway!

Well, the only solution is to use another slipway, since it is not possible to grab the slipway of the aircraft carrier under construction in the USSR Navy!

"Mr. Captain, the Black Sea Shipyard is a shipyard with a long history and a long reputation, and we in Iraq must have this kind of warship as soon as possible in order to resist a possible attack by the West on our oil maritime trade routes, and we cannot wait to cut the first steel plate in the next year, and we will cut the first steel plate at the end of this year at the latest, and we will see the outline of our warship take shape in the early nineties, and in the early nineties, we will see this warship launched. {{}}," Kusai said.

"That's impossible, we can't vacate slipway 0 for your use." Makarov directly rejected the other party's proposal.

"I'm not talking about slipway 0, I'm talking about other slipways." "The Black Sea shipyard once built a 100,000-ton tanker, and that didn't use slipway 0, right? ”

"That's slipway, but that's just a tanker, and tankers are completely different from warships, and we can't measure them in terms of displacement alone. {{}}," Makarov said.

In fact, the Soviet Union did not need oil tankers, because the Soviet Union's oil was all on land, which was directly transported through oil pipelines, and those oil tankers were civilian ships built for Western European countries when oil prices were high.

It's not that if you have built an oil tanker, there is no problem with building an aircraft carrier, there are many technical problems, at the beginning, in order to build an aircraft carrier, the Soviet Union allocated funds several times to transform the slipway 0, so that it had the ability to build, and when the nuclear-powered aircraft carrier was built, there was also a plan to upgrade it.

"So, with the improvement of slipway, can it have the ability to build a warship like ours?" Qusay asked.

Improving slipway No. 1? Makarov thought for a moment and replied: "This is possible, but with a huge investment of money, we will not upgrade slipway No. 1 in order to build a heavy aircraft-carrying cruiser for export, and when we finish building this one, we will not be able to use these equipment, resulting in waste." {{}}”

"We, Iraq, are willing to contribute to the renovation of slipway No. 1." Qusay said.

Qusay's words made Gorshkov next to him think, this guy from the Middle East, really rich, I heard that he couldn't get on the line, and he would rather invest in the transformation of a new slipway himself, then, the Soviet Union will have two slipways that can make aircraft carriers, then, for the future development of the Soviet Navy, it is of great value.

In the future, if the Soviet Navy wants to build aircraft carriers in batches, I am afraid it will be very easy.

Thinking of this, Gorshkov looked up and saw that Makarov was asking for his opinion with his gaze, and he immediately nodded his head in a gesture.

"If Iraq is willing to pay for the renovation of slipway, we would welcome it." "However, even with the slipway, we don't have enough workers," Makarov said. ”

Qusay feels that it is always very difficult to talk to this person he used to admire very much today, the other party is like a debtor, refitting the slipway, Iraq has to bled once, and now, the other party said that even if the slipway is renovated, there are not enough people.

However, it is true, although it is now the time when the Soviet Union has begun to have serious domestic economic problems, but it is also the most glorious time of the Soviet Navy, and various shipyards are starting to build one military order after another.

Nuclear submarines, cruisers, destroyers, shipbuilding structures of the USSR, turned on at full power. The construction of aircraft carriers requires a large number of workers, and although the Black Sea Shipyard is the largest shipyard, and although the entire city of Nikolaev is dependent on the shipyard for its rise, it still shows the embarrassment of insufficient manpower.

But doesn't this give Iraq another chance? There were no shipbuilding workers in Iraq, but now there are a large number of mature workers! Iraq's shipyards are now not only building Iraq's own missile boats, but also civilian ships.

"If you don't have enough people to build your ship, we in Iraq can transfer the best workers from our shipyards to the Black Sea shipyards." Qusay said.

Iraq is going to send its own workers? Hearing this, Gorbachev frowned a little, after all, this is the most important naval warship manufacturing base of the Soviet Union, and the Iraqis are coming, will that lead to a leak?

"Because this project of ours is carried out in secrecy, so, if we need our workers, please set up a restricted area for them to work only on the aircraft carriers made for us in Iraq, and they are forbidden to walk around the shipyards so as not to be discovered by Western countries, especially the United States, and they are also required to wear the uniform of the unified Black Sea shipyard, and outsiders are also prohibited from contacting them." Qusay said.

Hearing what Kusai said, Gorbachev already knew what Kusay meant, he said this, he was dispelling the concerns of the Soviet personnel, Iraq sent personnel, it was because it was eager to get this aircraft carrier, but the Black Sea shipyard workers were insufficient, so they came up with this strategy, in order to avoid their suspicions, so they restricted the movement of Iraqi personnel, they came, according to the command of the personnel of the Black Sea Shipyard, to build Iraq's own aircraft carrier, in this way, it seems to be invulnerable, this will not constitute a leak, anyway, it is built, It is also for Iraq.

Qusay knows that this is a very good opportunity to allow Iraqi shipbuilders to come into contact with the most advanced Soviet shipbuilding technology, although they can already build missile boats in Iraq, but to build aircraft carriers, but first-class technology, they must be trained by the technical personnel of the Black Sea shipyard when they get here, which is equivalent to the Black Sea shipyard training for Iraq for free workers who can build aircraft carriers, even if Iraq pulls the current workers on the construction of missile boats. Even if it's a complete shutdown of your own shipyard first, it's worth it.

Of course, the Black Sea shipyards are not going to completely let the Iraqi side out of the country, they also get some of them.

"We need to report to the general secretary for approval before we can do this." Gorbachev said, "However, my personal opinion is agreeable. ”

If the Soviet side does not agree, then Iraq will definitely not invest, and the second slipway, where the aircraft carrier can be built, will not be renovated.
