Chapter 69 707 Aircraft Carrier Design Overview
Xu Xingchen looked at the design completion degree. The completion degree of the 707 aircraft carrier project was 52%, which was just half way through. The design details have been added a lot, but they are still far from completion.
According to Xu Xingchen's previous test, if you push conventional naval guns and missiles equipment, you can increase the completion rate by 1% by 1 point of loot.
As a large-scale integrated project, the 707 aircraft carrier project requires 50 spoils to increase the completion rate by 1%, which is 50 times that of ordinary equipment.
The remaining 48% completion rate now requires 2400 loot points to be completed, which is really a huge amount of consumption.
This is the result of eliminating the most critical difficulties, steam catapults, jet carrier-based aircraft for catapults, and the blocking cables corresponding to jet carrier-based aircraft.
If you take these projects for research and development, all of my 3,000 spoils will not be enough, and I have no place to obtain a lot of spoils.
Xu Xingchen took a deep breath, added 2400 points of spoils, and activated the technology acceleration.
When large-scale projects use spoils to accelerate scientific research, they will not be completed instantly like ordinary equipment.
The actual effect is simply to increase the speed of automatic R&D, which can take about half an hour to reach 1% of the progress.
So this 48% completion rate made Xu Xingchen wait all day until the next morning.
After Xu Xingchen got up, he finished breakfast as fast as possible and ran to the scientific research center excitedly.
Yuanwang No. 2 and Yingtan both came here early. Seeing Xu Xingchen running over, Yuanwang reported that:
"Commander, starting yesterday morning, the automatic completion speed of scientific research equipment has suddenly increased significantly.
“The project, which was originally half a month later, has been completed now.
"Although I don't know what's going on, this is obviously a good thing, which only means that the device is really too strange.
"Chief, come and see if there are any questions, and then name them and generate exclusive cores!"
"Um……"
Xu Xingchen agreed and ran over and came to the scientific research equipment where Yuanwang was located.
Yingtan brought a seat for Xu Xingchen and asked Xu Xingchen to sit next to him from afar.
Yuanwang No. 2 took action with a serious expression and opened the completed 707 aircraft carrier design drawings, which should be said to be a three-dimensional rendered image.
Although Xu Xingchen had seen its hull frame before, now he still felt a little novel and shocking when he saw the actual effect fully rendered.
First of all, the overall appearance.
The references to the design of the 707 aircraft carrier, Dafeng, Essex and Blackfish, are all typical World War II direct-deck aircraft carriers.
However, the aircraft carrier in the design drawings in front of us has no trace of the World War II direct deck aircraft carrier, and it is directly a modern aircraft carrier with integrated bevel armor.
Moreover, her overall image and style are cleaner than the aircraft carriers like Midway that are directly connected to the angle, and are more modern than Forrest and Nimitz.
The shape and outline of the flight deck and hull are similar to the shape of a beer bottle, and the space inside the hull is more regular.
The outer float of the hull above the waterline is very large, the flight deck has expanded to its limit, and the bridge is placed on the edge of the outer float.
A modern square stern that is adapted to high speed is adopted, and an optimized ball nose head is generated using computer simulations.
There is no catapult, but the installation groove and pipe space of the catapult have been left out and are temporarily covered with flight deck material.
The final 707 aircraft carrier has a standard displacement of 40,000 tons and a full load displacement of 50,000 tons.
The flight deck length is 280 meters, the deck width is 68 meters, and the deck freeboard height is 18 meters.
The length of the waterline is 256 meters, the width of the waterline is 32 meters, the width of the hull is 40 meters, and the draft is 9.5 meters.
Just looking at the size, it is a circle larger than De Gaulle and a circle smaller than the Liaoning, but its appearance is similar to a reduced 003.
Then there is the internal structure of the hull.
Although the appearance is similar to that of a modern aircraft carrier, the internal compartment design of the 707 aircraft carrier is very different from that of a modern conventional aircraft carrier.
The most important reason is that as a ship girl, she does not need to set up personnel-related cabins, and the personnel cabins of the aircraft carrier are very large.
The York City-level enterprise has a maximum of 2,919 personnel in wartime organization, and the Essex-level extreme state is 3,440.
When the Midway-level service was in service, the staffing reached 4,120, and the Forrest-level staffing reached 5,960.
As the hull of a ship girl, the 707 aircraft carrier can save nearly 4,000 people in the hull space compared to the traditional conventional aircraft carrier of similar levels.
This is not only a living space for 4,000 people to eat, drink, defecate, urinate, and sleep, but also includes combat command, meeting, passport, training and other combat-related spaces.
Of course, the rest cabin of the commander and his companions was left, but the pure living space of these few people was just a drop in the bucket compared to the combat arrangement of the entire aircraft carrier.
In addition, the Yuanwang design uses modern boilers and turbines. The overall weight and scale are much smaller than those in the World War II era, which can save more space and weight.
Since the hull functional compartment does not require personnel to enter, the internal height and space can be directly retained, which saves some space.
The cabin planning without personnel is particularly standardized and tidy. Many independent cabins do not have doors directly, and the sealing effect is first-class, and the space and weight related to sealing are saved.
The above special designs for ship girls have saved a huge amount of hull space and a huge load capacity compared to normal aircraft carriers.
Most of the load capacity saved is basically used in protective design.
Modern special armor steel combined with Kev materials and special ceramics form composite armor, which comprehensively and multi-layeredly strengthens the protection of the main armor, lightning protection chamber, core chamber, and flight deck.
In the end, the 707 aircraft carrier, which is a circle smaller than Midway Island, has a purely hard protection ability that directly exceeds the Midway Island level.
At the same time, since there is basically no need to consider the cost of consideration and the maintenance difficulty is basically not considered, the number of designed compartments is directly one order of magnitude higher than that of normal aircraft carriers.
Except for the need for sufficient space, the places where necessary facilities are stored are all divided into dense, honeycomb-like small spaces.
Even the warehouse that transports fuel and ammunition only has special pipelines and output ports.
The watertight door only has a pipe valve and there is no normal portal at all. Unless you want to sink yourself, the valve will not open at all.
Such operations have increased the aircraft carrier's ability to resist strikes to a level that a normal warship will never reach, making it almost impossible for her to be directly sank by conventional weapons.
Especially the core compartment under the hangar is completely indestructible and has an outrageous structural resistance.
"You can blow up my hangar and superstructure, but it's impossible to sink me quickly. When I run home and take a walk to the treatment cabin, it will be another good ship soon."
These enhancements consume weight, and most of the space saved at a larger level of space will become hangars.
Due to the application of the square stern of modern destroyers, the hangar can be directly expanded to the stern. The edge compartment around the normal aircraft carrier hangar is only left with the frame support structure.
Similar adjustments have enabled the hangar size of the 707 aircraft carrier to reach an unprecedented outrageous level.
Among the World War II aircraft carriers, the Japanese system is a multi-layer dwarf hangar. Taking the Shohe class as an example, the upper and lower hangars combined have a total area of about 5,500 square meters and a height of 4.2 to 4.6 meters.
The American system is a single-layer large-high hangar. Take Essex as an example. The area of a single-layer large hangar is about 3,600 square meters and the height of the hangar is 5.334 meters (210 inches).
As for the 707 aircraft carrier girl's hangar, while gathering the strengths of both, it continued to increase the level upward. She is a double-layer-huge-high hangar!
Her upper hangar is 200 meters long, 32 meters wide, an area of 6,400 square meters and a height of 5.5 meters.
Her lower hangar is 200 meters long, 28 meters wide, an area of 5,600 square meters and a height of 5.5 meters.
The total area of her hangar reaches 12,000 square meters, 3.333 times that of the Essex level.
The hangar load capacity of Essex is 54, and 36 are tied on the deck.
Yuanwang's J-2 turboprop fighter modified from P51 is basically the same size as the F6F, TBF, SB2C and other aircraft used in Essex, and is even lighter and smaller.
Now fold the wings according to the F6F Hellcat's method, the 707 aircraft carrier can theoretically carry 180 J-2s.
This is the standard for full storage of the hangar. If you want to dry the deck like USN, you can add more than 60 aircraft, and the total capacity can reach more than 240 aircraft.
Of course, Xu Xingchen was not going to let her board so many planes, even if she was installed in the hangar, the ship girl could not operate it herself.
In the future, it will be replaced with jet carrier-based aircraft. According to the size of the strong 5B, the number of carrier aircraft is expected to be reduced to about 120 aircraft.
If larger third-generation carrier-based aircraft are replaced in the future, the number will continue to drop to less than 100.
The 5.5-meter hangar height of the 707 aircraft carrier allows her to operate the 4.88-meter-high F14 Tomcat and F18 Bumblebee-level fighter jets, with a normal capacity of more than 64 aircraft.
If the 5.9-meter-high J-15 is obtained in the future, Xu Xingchen will merge and transform the hangar based on her personal opinions.
Because that would half the area of the hangar and greatly reduce the load capacity. It would be great to be able to operate 48 J-15s.
