Chapter 431: The True Super Battleship USS Missouri
A whole 50 of the best airplane people died like this for no apparent reason?
Jerry Donaldson's heart is undoubtedly broken at this moment. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć Although there are as many as 572 aircraft in his troops, many of them are retired and mothballed classic aircraft and some armed helicopters, and the real elite part is only 50 Transformers converted from fifth-generation aircraft! As a result, you meowed to me that except for the two planemen in the reconnaissance formation, the other forty-eight planemen were shot down without even seeing each other's faces?!
Jerry Donaldson, whose heart was dripping blood, was silent for a long time, and then turned back to Jax and ordered, "Let the USS Missouri be dispatched while it is being reconditioned at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii!" ā
"Boss, do you really want to send the USS Missouri? Isn't the commissioning of the electromagnetic gun not yet complete? ā
Although Charried didn't dare to touch Jerry Donaldson's bad head at this time, as far as he knew, the legendary battleship that defeated the aliens in the movie should not have completed the preparation of new equipment yet. Can this state really go to war? There is a big question mark over whether it can come in handy on the spot.
"The electromagnetic weapon was completed two days ago, but it has not yet been debugged in detail."
Jarvis answered for the mad Jerry Donaldson.
After hearing such an answer, Charriard wisely chose to shut up. Didn't you see that the boss's chubby face was getting more and more distorted?
USS Missouri, Iowa-class III, BB63. It was ordered to be built on June 12, 1940, and started construction at the Brooklyn Shipyard on January 6 of the following year, named and launched on January 29, 1944, and officially joined the Pacific Fleet of the USA Navy on June 11 of the same year, retired for the first time on February 26, 1955, underwent modernization on May 29, 1984, rejoined the active duty of the USA Navy on May 10, 1987, and retired for the second time on March 31, 1992. On May 4, 1998, it was transferred to the USS Missouri Memorial Society in Honolulu, Hawaii, and on June 22 of the same year, the USS Missouri was transferred to Pearl Harbor and moored next to Ford Island, where it was officially opened to the public as a battleship museum on January 29, 1999.
The battleship, which has become a museum, is undoubtedly the luckiest of the World War II warships. Not only was it not dismantled after the end of World War II, but it was rejuvenated during the Cold War, and even after the second decommissioning, it was preserved as a museum. Of course, if this alone is not the luckiest World War II battleship, after all, there are many other battleships that have survived to become museums after the war, but! But no museum ship was as lucky as she was to survive the first shock of the apocalypse, not even a piece of paint fell off......
Sometimes luck is so magical, the USS Missouri, which is 270.4 meters long and 32.92 meters wide, was not hit by angels and demons, while the USS Sullivan, which is only 155 meters long and 12 meters wide, was directly smashed and sunk in Buffalo. Of course, the Cleveland-class Little Rock Museum with her companion was not spared.
Ah Mei, you look at the 21 battleship museums, 20 were smashed, only the USS Missouri was safe and sound, which is considered the "most fortunate" among the "most fortunate".
The other "most" is, of course, that this legendary battleship was taken by Jerry Donaldson, the current sister.
The USS Missouri, which Jerry Donaldson had his eye on, ushered in the third spring of her life in museums and movie props.
Eight heavy oil boilers and four steam turbines were dismantled and replaced with two A1B nuclear reactors on the USS Arizona, the second ship of the Ford-class nuclear-powered aircraft carrier, which was halfway built, and the 3X3 MK7 406mm naval gun was also replaced with the latest 460mm electromagnetic gun. It's the same 3x3 layout, but the firepower is higher than I don't know how many Wallaces. In addition to the replacement of the main gun with electromagnetic weapons, the twin 127mm high-level dual-purpose guns were also replaced with small 152mm electromagnetic guns.
After completing the transformation, the battleship Missouri was equipped with the nuclear reactor of the second Ford-class nuclear-powered aircraft carrier, the USS Arizona, because of its size, and the maximum speed of 45 knots was enough to run away with a group of missile destroyers even in front of the navies of various countries before the end of the world.
Of course, if you want to drag race, you can't use the electromagnetic weapons on the ship, otherwise the power supply will be insufficient. Even so, however, the USS Missouri was able to maintain an operational speed of 33 knots.
Every country has its own black technology, just like Huaguo has hidden a lot of good things, Ah Mei, you see that as the world hegemon, there will only be more good things hidden. It's like an electromagnetic weapon that has become technically fully mature, except for the absence of real combat.
Before the end of the day, military fans got the news that Ah Mei, you see, are experimentally equipping some immature electromagnetic weapons on naval ships, but the fact is that people have long had such a series of plans, and even the mature works that can be used immediately have been made.
Future war plans. Sister, look at the most important and secret plan. The main content of this plan was to serve the Third World War. And at the heart of this plan is the scramble for a Martian colony.
In the high-level expectations of Ah Mei, the fuse of the Third World War will be the Martian colony, and the main battlefield of the Third World War will not be on Earth, but in outer space.
Therefore, in order to ensure the victory of the third world war in the future, Ah Mei, you can see that the preparations began early, and this future war plan was born.
In this program, electromagnetic weapons are only a drop in the bucket. Space warships like in sci-fi movies are their targets. It's just that the technical content of electromagnetic weapons is not high, so the technology is mature first.
Of course, the electromagnetic weapon mounted on the new stealth destroyer is not a smoke grenade, which is indeed a problem that Amei has encountered in how to ensure the balance of all aspects after the miniaturization of electromagnetic weapons. After all, a mature weapon is to be mass-produced, and mass-produced things also have great requirements in terms of unit price. If every destroyer is nuclear-powered, the government will go bankrupt!
In addition to electromagnetic weapons, the high-power laser weapons you see are also nearing the end, but the progress is a little slower than that of electromagnetic weapons, and I haven't had time to make physical objects that can be equipped. All kinds of new materials, the engines of space warships in the design research, things that can be found in science fiction movies, aerospace fighters...... It's all in the White Paper on Future War Planning. And BB63, the legendary USS Missouri, was the first beneficiary of this program. (To be continued.) )
