The Rise of the Empire
Chapter 388： Black history one
"Equipped with 10 280mml50 main guns, the thickest part of the main armor belt is 270mm, the front of the turret is 9 inches, the side is 170mm, and the thickness of the turret is up to 230mm. Equipped with 24 boilers, 4 steam turbines, with a rated output of 54,000 horsepower and a speed of 25.5 knots. Displacement 22,000 tons, am I right? Mr. Wigner?" After Wigner introduced his battleship, the prince repeated the data again.
"It's such a prince." Wigner nodded and said.
"Okay, I would like to ask, what is the height of your so-called 270mm main armor belt? The description of the main armor belt is 270mm to 200mm thick, so good I want to know, these two thicknesses of steel plates account for What's the ratio!" The prince raised the first question!
"This is just a rough structure. We haven't completed all the design work. We just took out the rough plan of our own plan." Wegener said with a slight change of expression.
The design and drawing of battleships is a very cumbersome task. Before the winning bid was confirmed, most of the design was just a frame, such as the artillery of the caliber, the speed, and the thickness of the armor, but it was more specific, such as It is impossible to say how high the steel plates of various thicknesses in the main armor belt are.
Historically, the basic framework of the Mochi-class battleship came out in May 1907. For example, the total tonnage is about 22,000 tons, the weapon is 10 11-inch guns, and the speed should be more than 24 knots. The defense should be slightly better than Von De Tann. Wait, but the actual design work was only completed in March 1908.
In other words, Wigner really doesn't know exactly what the armor height is, and then calculate it based on the budget and tonnage. If the margin is large, thicken it, and thinner if the margin is small. At least when the bidding started, no one stipulated the height of the various armors.
Therefore, the question of the prince caught him off guard, after all, before something was made, it was impossible to judge the performance! The prince asked this question so that he could not answer.
"These things require actual calculations. I can't answer you until the design is actually completed." Wigenar said with a topping.
"So good, everyone, now the question is, what is the height of the so-called 270mm main armor belt? Is it 1.8 meters or 3.8 meters? If it is the former, then for this warship, it is medium Is the most likely to be bombarded with 270mm armor with only the belt width or 200mm armor with a large upper area?"
"Everyone knows technology, and you should know that, generally speaking, the side chord protection height of a battleship must be at least about 5 meters including the underwater part! I would like to know, with such a tonnage guaranteeing speed and firepower, what How much weight can be used for defense, and what is the distribution of the main armor belt." The prince said.
"This requires calculation and cannot be answered right now. Your Royal Highness, don't ask such unanswerable questions." Liao Le said with some dissatisfaction.
"Haha, that is to say, if the Royal William Shipyard wins the bid, they only need to ensure that the narrow strip of main armor meets the requirements, regardless of the specific height? Is that so? Don’t you think it’s too much. Are you not responsible?" The prince paused and said, "I'm not targeting you, Admiral Liao Le, or Wigner."
"I'm aiming at all of you!" The prince glanced at Tirpitz, Riole and Wigner who were sitting opposite! "Your plan is full of loopholes. You are not putting the needs of the navy first and the lives of the fleet officers and soldiers first, but you are considering how to use a vague concept to get through!"
"His Royal Highness, you must have evidence for your words! The plan submitted by the Bavarian side is indeed very detailed. There are more detailed sketches on it, and there are data pillars, armor belt height, thickness, weight, and the depth and width of the underwater defense system. You have done meticulously, which is commendable, but you must not attack other people without basis.” Prince Heinrich said.
"No, I have evidence. My design bureau has roughly calculated the defensive weight and the thickness of the side-string armor of this class of battleships. According to our calculations, if the side-string armor covers two and a half decks, (half layer is Underwater extension) So the thickness of the armor of 270mm is definitely no more than 2.2 meters! And the height of the two and a half decks, I think everyone is clear, it must be at least 6 meters! In other words, this warship is two-thirds The defense area is only 200mm side-string armor protection! Isn't this a crime?" asked the prince
In fact, the sidestring defense of the historical Mochi-class battlecruisers is not necessarily much stronger than the lion tiger. From the upper deck to the bottom of the main armor belt, there is a total height of about 8.2 meters. The upper armor belt is 200mm thick. , The armor belt with a height of 2 meters, the middle armor belt with a thickness of 200mm and a height of 3.15 meters, and the main armor belt with a height of 270mm below! And this section of armor does not cover the remaining 3 meters in height. In fact, the height of this section of 270mm armor belt is only 1.8 meters! The thickness of the underwater part was quickly reduced to 130mm! What's more terrible is ~www.novelhall.com~ The main armor belt is mostly underwater. Only one-third of the surface is exposed. That is to say less than 0.6 meters!
If you calculate the probability of being shot in the sidestring, the water part is less than 6 meters high, and the main armor is 0.6 meters above the water. The probability that the main armor belt can withstand the opponent's shells is 10%! In fact, what Moqi's sidestring really works is the 200mm armor belt!
Well, thank God, thank you, there have been no large-scale engagements in World War I, the British have problems with their shells, and the problems of Moqi have not been exposed... We must know that although the British shells are scum, the shells fired by the 13.5-inch artillery still have a chance to penetrate (blow through) the 8-inch armor!
"This is only your estimate on the one hand, and the facts depend on the overall design. I admit that our shipyard's plan is indeed not detailed by yours, but I think our plan is obviously unreasonable by your judgment." There is obviously a lack of confidence in Gena's words. As a designer, although he has not completed all the designs, he also knows that it is still difficult for this tonnage to achieve such performance. The tonnage of the Bavarian battlecruiser program reached about 25,000 tons. Naturally, there is plenty of weight to deploy armor. And the 22,000 tons of the planned ship is indeed lower.
"Interesting, both sides insist on each other." At this moment, the king in the upper position broke the somewhat anxious atmosphere on the court.
The second is more~~~, please subscribe for recommendation~~~!
"It's such a prince." Wigner nodded and said.
