It lasted for more than half a year.

Avalon's first truly main-class surface warship has finally begun to be launched.

Prestige was remodeled much later than Saratoga, but because the Maid Captain was using the Raid Judgment class strategic cruiser blueprints that had experience with Ellie and Marina, it only took time to rebuild the ship.

The wife and sister-in-law had almost completely abandoned the hull of the previous ship, and the work that needed to be done was even more arduous.

The 100,000-ton mega aircraft carrier was slowly lowered into orbit.

The capital ship, which had been built with a huge amount of money, set out for the expedition and steadily took over the Saratoga hull.

When you board Saratoga's hull, the first glimpse of the flight deck resembles a huge plaza makes it hard to imagine that the platform under your feet is just an aircraft carrier, and it is simply a mobile sports field......

Aircraft carriers during World War II were basically wooden flight decks.

In fact, the same was true for battleships, which were only covered with a layer of planks on the weak dome, which was both flat and saved displacement tonnage.

And Saratoga uses all metal armor laying, and the surface is covered with a special layer of soft gluing to provide friction and elastic force, just for this layer of gluing Koji racked his brains to think of countless ways.

If the aircraft carrier under his feet is not the hull of a ship, his brain hole will not be able to really realize it.

Stepping on the Saratoga flight deck is like stepping on a green meadow.

Resilient.

At the same time, it is also robust and safe.

The eldest brother, the Prince of Wales, couldn't help but squat down and touch it.

"Mouth...... Kouya, let you come up, we already see my brother-in-law's sake, don't make strange moves. ”

The big sister of the rotten country pursed her lips slightly: "Touching it won't let you lose a piece of meat...... It feels like rubber, and it's really as magical as the Admiral said? ”

"It's not rubber."

Saratoga cocked her little mouth and swaggered proudly.

"Don't you think it looks a little familiar, big brother?"

"Uh-huh......," the Prince of Wales mused, and Saratoga reminded her of a familiar sense of déjà vu.

Koji laughed, and explained in the angry eyes of the sister-in-law: "Actually, it's your hull material, big brother, I originally wanted to completely copy your armor formula but failed, but the Seon lost horse can just be used on Gaga and his wife." ”

No wonder it's so familiar.

The Prince of Wales sighed with his mouth open.

The big sister of the corrupt country looked at a certain admiral, and her eyes became more and more embarrassed.

Because of the Prince of Wales' instinctive shy resistance, Koji didn't really have many opportunities to find a study of her core, and perhaps the eldest brother didn't think that the Admiral had really drawn research results from her.

Before Saratoga was launched, Avalon's largest tonnage was the battleship Prince of Wales.

The displacement of the big brother was determined by measurement to be 86000 tons.

But the Prince of Wales was a battleship.

Compared to Saratoga, which is an aircraft carrier, the two are completely different things.

The 120,000-ton Saratoga alone is more than twice the size of the Prince of Wales in terms of deck area.

A bridge erected to the left of the expansive deck is the only building on the Saratoga deck, and it looks quite slim and elegant, and the simple design brings a sense of elegance and beauty.

It took a while for the group to get under the Saratoga bridge.

Wangshan ran a dead horse.

I just thought how big the bridge in Saratoga was.

After walking for a long time, you can only see that this towering building is also majestic and upright when you really reach your feet.

Raise your head hard to see the bridge clearly, and the big sisters subconsciously turned their heads to look at Saratoga who was smiling and happy...... Chest!

"Poof~"

The Admiral almost choked back his internal injuries.

Whether the amount of ru's mental projection of the ship's mother is the embodiment of the firepower value, or the height performance of the hull superstructure, this is really an incomprehensible secret.

However, there is a saying that is very recognized by the ship girls, that is, the bridge largely represents the appearance of the ship girls.

Looking at all the ships of the Azure Star, the more beautiful the bridge, the more amazing the mental projection of the ship's mother.

Single-ship island.

Beveled deck layout.

There is also a fully enclosed bow design.

Of course, in the end, it is more than all the contemporary aircraft carrier mothers, and the width of the petal-like deck is innumerable.

Saratoga's new hull has a completely different style from the other ships in the Azure Star world, and everyone who is used to the common sense of the past will think that Saratoga's hull is very strange at first glance, but if you look closely......

Beauty!

Publicity!

Get to the top of the ladder!

There is a kind of horizon that aircraft carriers should be long.

However, if you look at Saratoga's new hull from the perspective of the big sisters of the battleship, you will inevitably feel that such a battleship with its deck stretched out like a brilliant one is vulnerable.

In fact, this is also true.

The positioning of aircraft carriers in the fleet was not intended for the purpose of going to the front.

Although Koji had added as much armor protection to Saratoga as possible on the original drawings, she was still inferior to the unmodified Tirbitz in terms of strike resistance.

A huge conveyor lift lifted the USS Saratoga out of the indoor harbor area of the Avalon basement.

The large tonnage gives Saratoga a high level of stability.

The moment it was officially launched, everyone who stayed on the hull only felt a slight flicker, and Saratoga's hull had broken away from the slipway.

A giant steel floating island appeared in the port of Avalon, like a giant who had strayed into Lilliputian, and every move had to be carefully taken for fear of touching something that should not be touched.

After the development of Avalon for most of the past six months, some common ships have been built on weekdays.

For example, Veneto's "seat ship" is docked in the harbor.

As soon as Saratoga's new hull appeared, all of these small planks seemed to have been magically made smaller by someone.

As Saratoga sailed out of port, the ships docked on the shore were shrouded in her vast shadow, and the Heroes ashore looked up in amazement as the steel beast slowly passed in front of them.

"The outer harbor has to be re-planned, otherwise it is not suitable for Gaga to sail urgently......" Koji, who saw this scene, touched his chin and sighed.

The sister-in-law smirked with a shy face.

She didn't "see" just now that there was a fishing boat in front of her that almost crashed.

It is estimated that Saratoga scared the heroic spirits a lot, and they had obediently hid outside the special channel for the ship's mother according to the regulations, but they didn't expect Saratoga to have such a large and ordinary channel that was completely not enough for her.

Fortunately, it was discovered in time, and the Heroic Sisters instinctively reacted quickly, so there was no thrilling picture.

Out of the port, Saratoga can run as much as you want.

According to today's planned itinerary, my sister-in-law will have to undergo dozens of tests.

While Saratoga was testing performance, Koji happened to take everyone on a tour of the interior of Avalon's first aircraft carrier.

In general, Saratoga adopts the same design as the original aircraft carrier of the world's navies, but with a large reduction in crew living space and working platforms, and the internal emergency damage management equipment has also been strengthened.

Fire isolation layer.

Watertight enclosed design.

Facilities for disaster damage control.

There are still a lot of problems.

For example, is it necessary to set up so many damage control facilities in Saratoga, and whether all of these equipment can be effectively used when it is really available.

Hm.

It turns out that the warships of the world are still just ships.

If it's a ship, it needs to serve the crew and need to free up a lot of space.

Even if it is a warship, the place where the equipment is actually placed is not as large as the space for crew activities.

And the ship Niang battleship is similar to the fully self-controlled unmanned warship in the science fiction brain hole, theoretically Koji doesn't need to leave a walkway inside the Saratoga hull, just leave a small hole that can make the demon proficient.

In fact, there are many places on Gaga's hull that only goblins can enter.

This frees up a lot of interior space.

When it comes to the space of an aircraft carrier, it is easy to associate it with one data - the number of aircraft carried by it.

Why are modern aircraft carriers getting bigger and bigger, is it simply that the bigger and more majestic they are, the more they can bluff people, and the more they can show that their country's military level is strong?

When the early concept of aircraft carriers first appeared, countries were converted with coal carriers or freighters, which could only carry a dozen or even a few aircraft.

After the emergence of professional aircraft carriers, armored aircraft carriers, regular aircraft carriers, light aircraft carriers, escort aircraft carriers and other types were also classified.

The carrying capacity of various types of aircraft carriers ranges from a dozen to dozens of aircraft.

It turned out that the number of aircraft carried by the USS Saratoga in the world once set a historical record.

With carrier-based aircraft on board inside the cabin plus carrier-based aircraft docked on deck, Saratoga can carry 110 fighters to sea at once.

After the modification, Saratoga with a displacement of 40,000 tons can carry 110 carrier-based aircraft.

And the modern 100,000-ton supercarriers only brought 48 aircraft.

Do you say that modern jet carrier-based aircraft have become larger and heavier?

Not.

It's not necessary.

A certain bureau chief once said that as long as modern aircraft carriers are needed, they can carry hundreds of fighters casually.

However, the stability of the world pattern and the upgrading of science and technology for the multi-purpose of one aircraft have led to the fact that no country's aircraft carriers in the world have been equipped at full capacity, and dozens of fighter planes have been completely sufficient.

Three aircraft carriers can destroy a medium-strength country in three days.

Then here's the problem!

How many ships does the cold country want...... Ahem, I realize.

Sarato's increased tonnage brings more space and makes it easier to accommodate more carrier-based fighters.

A certain admiral once ambitiously stated that he wanted his sister-in-law to equip 380 planes, but was rejected by Saratoga and his wife with foolish eyes, and finally temporarily positioned 110 planes.

But......

It seems that Gaga has only implemented less than 50 aircraft now!

"The upper level is the flight deck, which is the hangar below the deck...... The hangar is small because it is spread out into sections, and Saratoga is equipped with five lift tables that can carry out several operations at the same time. ”

"Reserved space?"

"This floor is mostly used as a lifting channel, except for the ammunition output port."

"There's also a hangar on the lower level, but the main fighter spawn room and Gaga is equipped with a self-defense weapon system."

"As an aircraft carrier, the function plus plus basically only occupies two floors, and below there are other equipment, including a set of battlefield suppression instruments."

"As long as Saratoga is on the field, she can make all friendly aircraft carriers in the vicinity increase the attendance of carrier-based aircraft while suppressing the heart rate response of hostile units around her......"

"In the next step, I'm working on how Gaga can improve the performance of friendly aircraft carriers like the eldest sister, but this is already a bit too far beyond the technology side, and I haven't thought of a good way to do it yet."
