The news of the bombing of the headquarters of the 26th Division of the Japanese Army by the formation of wild boar attack planes this time also quickly spread throughout the world, and now all countries know that the Eighth Route Army has developed the world's first mass-produced jet fighter, and its combat capability is terrifyingly powerful.

The ME262 jet fighter under development in Germany is simply scum compared to it.

And then the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army also made a major decision, that is, to start the project to start the design and construction of the Sea Tiger-class destroyer, which is a destroyer with a full load displacement of 4,000 tons.

It can be said that the Sea Tiger destroyer is a very important piece of equipment, and it will cost a lot of money for this, as well as a lot of manpower and material resources, and it can be built only if it is invested, after all, this kind of 4,000-ton warship, there are not many countries in the world that can design and build, and it is the first time for the Eighth Route Army.

However, the Eighth Route Army has Duan Peng, a super ace designer, so this is not a problem.

The Sea Tiger-class destroyer was also a suggestion put forward by Duan Peng, and this time Duan Peng took the time to study the destroyers of various countries, and designed the overall plan of the Sea Tiger-class destroyer.

First of all, the Sea Tiger-class destroyer will use the most advanced power system in the world, that is, gas turbines.

On the Seawolf-class frigate, the gas turbine is also used, but this time the tonnage of the Seatiger-class destroyer is doubled, so the gas turbine is also more powerful, two 22 megawatt gas turbines plus two high-power diesel engines, diesel-fired combined power, although this power system transmission is more complicated, but there is Duan Peng's system plug-in, so it is not difficult to design and manufacture this power system.

In terms of the destroyers equipped by the Little Devil Navy, there are mainly two types: the Yangyan-class and the Bailu-class, both of which have a full load displacement of only about 2,000 to 2,500 tons, which is much smaller than the Sea Tiger-class destroyers.

However, the two destroyers of this little devil, although the tonnage is not large, but they are equipped with very strong firepower, they both have four to six 127 mm naval guns, and up to twenty small-caliber anti-aircraft guns, so they are armed to the teeth, and there are also two triple torpedo launchers, as well as rocket depth launchers.

Of course, in World War II, the strongest naval guns were the German 1936A destroyers, which were equipped with five 150 mm naval guns, with a full load displacement of nearly 3,000 tons, and in addition to the main guns, there were 16 small-caliber anti-aircraft guns on the ship, which was also very strong.

During World War II, the warships of the navies of various countries, that were all artillery king, installed a large number of guns, not to mention cruisers and battleships.

However, the Sea Tiger-class destroyer designed by Duan Peng this time is different, because it does not use so many naval guns, but only two 155-mm rapid-fire naval guns and four seven-barreled 30-mm close-in defense guns.

Although the number of guns is much less than that of the destroyers of various countries, the firepower is stronger.

Because the 155 mm naval gun designed by Duan Peng is a rapid-fire gun, its rate of fire can reach 80 rounds per minute, not to mention the 730 gun, this is a Gatling gun, with a rate of fire of up to 4,000 rounds per minute!

Therefore, this 155-mm naval gun can withstand the rate of fire of six or seven 127-mm naval guns of little devils.

The 127-millimeter naval gun of the little devil is a 50-fold diameter naval gun, with a gun length of more than 6 meters, a gun weight of only 4.2 tons, and a shell weight of 23.5 kilograms.

In addition, it is the Type 96 25 mm twin anti-aircraft gun, with a muzzle velocity of 900 m/s, a maximum firing range of 7,500 meters at a 50-degree angle, a maximum firing height of 5,250 meters at an 80-degree angle, a rate of fire of 220-240 rounds per minute, a single magazine capacity of 15 rounds, a turret maneuver speed of 18 degrees 40 minutes per second, a gun pitch speed of 12 degrees per second, and a barrel life of 15,000 rounds. This rate of fire was only one-twentieth of that of the 730 close-defense gun.

So what about the 730 close-in defense guns, four are equivalent to the eighty twin anti-aircraft guns of the little devils!

Therefore, the Sea Tiger-class destroyer, equipped with four 703 close-in defense guns, is completely sufficient.

As long as the shells are loaded enough, they will be able to exert a stronger air defense role. Therefore, a 703 cannon designed by Duan Peng has 2,500 rounds of ammunition, and the four guns add up to 10,000 shells.

The 30-mm general-purpose artillery shell, with sufficient kinetic energy, has a range of 8,000 meters, and is stronger than the small-caliber anti-aircraft guns of all countries in the world today, both in muzzle velocity, range, ballistic performance and projectile power.

Because this Gatling cannon can deal with more air targets at the same time, of course, it can also be used to hit torpedoes or something.

Of course, the most important weapons of the Sea Tiger-class destroyer are its two 155-millimeter naval guns, because the caliber of this gun is much larger than that of 127 millimeters, so the powerful range is obviously much larger.

For example, the 127-millimeter naval gun of the little devil has a firing range of only 18 kilometers, but the 155-millimeter gun designed by Duan Peng has a firing range of 30 kilometers, and the weight of the shells is twice as much as that of 127 millimeters, reaching 50 kilograms.

Moreover, this naval gun, with an elevation of -5 ° ~ +70 °, adopts the method of automatic reloading, and the firepower of one gun is equivalent to the firepower of ten 127 mm naval guns, because the rate of fire is six times higher, and the weight of the bullet is twice as large.

Each main gun has a capacity of 300 rounds, and the two guns add up to 600 rounds, and this firepower is also very powerful.

This time, Duan Peng is equipped with two triple 610-mm torpedo tubes along the center line of the hull, and a single port can fire three powerful oxygen torpedoes, with a maximum speed of 50 knots, a maximum range of 40 kilometers, and a maximum charge of 700 kilograms.

With this design plan, Duan Peng came to the headquarters and participated in the project establishment meeting.

The leaders of the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army were very happy, and said at the project establishment meeting that the navy would be equipped with at least eight Sea Tiger-class destroyers in the future!

Next, Duan Peng took out the design plan, and everyone applauded when they saw such a fierce Sea Tiger level.

You must know that the Sea Tiger-class destroyer is indeed much stronger than the destroyer of the current little devil, both in terms of tonnage and firepower.

Therefore, as long as there is such a powerful destroyer, the Eighth Route Army Navy has the ability to severely damage the naval fleet of the little devils in the open sea, even if there are heavy cruisers in the fleet of the little devils, and even battleships.
