333, Akagi and Dafeng
If the standard aircraft in the Dafeng plan can be completed on time, the normal carrying capacity of Dafeng should be about 80 aircraft without using deck mooring.
The IJN Command of this world is more developed than the IJN in history.
Coupled with the material technology bonus of the ship mother world, many aircraft that have not been made in history and are planned have basically been put into practical use here, and they have been improved to a certain extent.
The planes that Dafeng and they are using now are mainly gale changes, comet changes, and meteor changes, and the wing folding ability has been improved, and Dafeng's current carrying capacity is more than 80 aircraft.
If a large deck mooring area is used, the total aircraft capacity should exceed 100 aircraft.
However, due to the shortage of resources in the IJN Command, they are usually reluctant to let it go.
The plane that Mu Feng replaced for Dafeng was still the kind of "J-5 Big Change-Silver Fox" used by Xuehai, Guanghui, Zeppelin, and the Empire.
The Silver Fox is very similar to the F9F-8 Cougar, a small twin-engine jet fighter with a very beautiful appearance, which is loved by these carrier girls.
Its fuselage length and wingspan width are basically the same as those of the F6F Hellcat, while the fighter is fully crushed with propellers and has basic radar.
It's heavier, but because there are no propellers, the height of the fuselage is lower.
Dafeng's existing double-storey hangar can be placed directly, and Mu Feng didn't change the hangar for him.
After Dafeng replaced the Silver Fox, the carrying capacity of the simple hangar was 65.
If she is willing to use the deck mooring, she should be able to carry more than 80 aircraft.
Dafeng, the aircraft carrier of IJN, has such a large hangar area, of course, it is not without a price.
The hangar occupies a large space, and the other space is naturally smaller, and the structure of the double-storey hangar is complex.
The living conditions of the crew of the IJN aircraft carrier are much worse than those of the USN.
The key point is that IJN's damage management capacity is much worse than that of USN.
In history, Dafeng only ate one torpedo, but due to improper disposal of the damage, the volatile oil and gas were ignited, and finally there was a martyrdom, causing Dafeng to sink after only participating in one battle.
In contrast, the USN aircraft carrier is often jokingly claimed to have its own kryptonite damage management, and the company often repairs while fighting, and Yorktown was sunk twice as if it were two aircraft carriers.
Damage management personnel account for almost one-third of the personnel establishment of the USN aircraft carrier, and these people and equipment will of course occupy a considerable part of the space.
Mu Feng referred to the aircraft carriers he had transformed, and optimized the cabin structure for Dafeng as much as possible, reducing the complexity, and improving some damage resistance as much as possible.
Rebuild the flight deck, adjust the floating and beveled decks, and set up the steam catapult.
The bridge was rebuilt, the anti-aircraft artillery system was replaced, various radars were installed.
These operations have been applied many times on other European aircraft carriers and deep-sea aircraft carriers, and Mu Feng is already quite proficient.
After a full set of adjustments, Mu Feng previewed the state of Dafeng after the change in the system.
The standard displacement is 35,000 tons, the full load is 43,000 tons, the draft is 10 meters, and the length of the adjusted flight deck reaches 270 meters.
This is a modern light aircraft carrier.
Mu Feng looked at Dafeng's modified hull and cabin structure, and suddenly remembered something in his mind.
In the late 60s and early 70s, the Chinese Navy began to study its own aircraft carrier plan for the first time, codenamed Project 707 at that time.
It is planned to design and build a light aircraft carrier with a displacement of 30,000 tons, with a beveled deck and steam catapults, and the aircraft may use the J-7 or J-5.
At that time, relations between China and Japan were gradually thawing, and some Japanese personnel provided the Chinese Navy with some information on the ships of the Japanese Navy during World War II.
Among them, in the Japanese Navy in World War II, it is considered to be "perfect" in terms of defense capability, combat capability, and ship aesthetics.
These materials gave the Chinese Navy a preliminary understanding of the overall structure of the aircraft carrier.
Of course, this is not a deep-seated secret exchange, and these drawings and materials have basically been made public, which is a gesture for the Japanese personnel.
If Project 707 could have been completed at that time, then the aircraft carrier that was commissioned around 80 years might have some shadows of the Dafeng-class in terms of internal cabin structure design.
And Dafeng, who has been greatly reformed by Mu Feng, except that the plane cannot give her J-7, the hangar is still double-storey.
The other structures are somewhat close to the finished products of the 707 aircraft carrier project.
Thinking of this, Mu Feng frowned slightly.
Can its own scientific research system complete the 30,000-ton 707 aircraft carrier?
And then the 50,000-ton 891 aircraft carrier in the late 80s can also be made?
Although the 707 project and the 891 project have not been completed for various reasons, they have provided technical and information reserves for the 001 project and the 002 project.
If it's a game, both of these can barely be considered blueprint ships.
"Go back and study it slowly."
Mu Feng muttered in his heart, pressed the confirmation option, and Dafeng went into hibernation, turned around, and asked Akagi to lie down on another bed.
Seeing Mu Feng holding his hand, Akagi bowed slightly to Mu Feng again on the bed:
"Next, please ask Commander Mufeng."
Mu Feng smiled and nodded, and entered the system again to start adjusting.
Akagi is different from Daiho.
Dafeng is originally a very modern aircraft carrier, so the difficulty of transformation is actually relatively low, especially the hangar and hull basically do not need to be moved.
And Akagi is an aircraft carrier converted from an early battle cruiser.
In particular, the construction of the hull of the ship was completed at the time of the Akagi renovation, which was based on the hull of the original battlecruiser and other necessary structures for the aircraft carrier were built on the main deck.
Therefore, the upper flight deck of Akagi is very high, and the structure supported by the columns is like a shanty town, which can be called an illegal building in an aircraft carrier, and the curved chimney, and the bridge on the left side......
Therefore, Akagi has to change everything from the lower power system, to the hangar, to the elevator, to the flight deck, to the superstructure, to the appearance of the hull, otherwise it will be too uncomfortable to look at.
Fortunately, Mu Feng has enough experience to change many aircraft carriers, and he also changed the empire from a battle column to an aircraft carrier.
Coupled with the assistance of the system, the comprehensive reconstruction of Akagi was completed from scratch little by little.
In order to avoid unnecessary interpretation, the internal structure of the renovated Akagi is almost completely copied from that of Dafeng, the hangar is still double-storey, and the carrying capacity is almost identical.
did not directly change to the single-storey large hangar that he was used to, nor did he use the side lift, of course, like Dafeng, he could not directly change to a larger aircraft in the later period.
After the renovation was completed, Akagi was basically the same size as Taiho, but slightly heavier.
The standard displacement is 37,000 tons, the full load displacement is about 45,000 tons, and the hangar carries 65 aircraft.
