Chapter 145
In this case, even most of the aircraft carriers are around 2W tons, and the Lexington will be a complete giant after transformation.
Even if the Lexington hull is to be realized, his current dock is not enough because it is too big to fit in.
"That's itCommander, you didn't tell me earlier"
Saratoga breathed a sigh of relief when she heard that Wei An had not changed her mind, but in the next second she thought of something and wanted to use the resources on the table in a hurry. Ka pulled it back, but her hand was grabbed by her sister Lexington, making her freeze like a wooden figure.
"Jia Jia, you said you wanted to help your sister realize the hull of the ship?"
Lexington looked at the resource card in Saratoga's hand with complicated eyes, and at the same time looked at Wei An.
"this, this.."
Saratoga was flustered and didn't say anything in the end, but this attitude made Lexington more determined.
So Saratoga could only look to Vian for help.
"Jia Jia also has good intentions. She hopes that you can reveal the hull as soon as possible to make you happy. However, today Hu De and the others gave me more resources. She is afraid that I will use them for others."
"But it just happened that Jia Jia mentioned this matter, so today let’s talk about the specific conditions and problems required for Lexington’s hull. After all, the drawings have been completed now, and we are basically waiting for the other battleships."
Weian's words finally temporarily diverted Lexington's attention, allowing her to let Saratoga go.
Saratoga, who was let go by Lexington, immediately hid behind Weian.
"Sister, I don’t care anyway, I will definitely provide the resources embodied in your ship. You are not only his ship girl but also my favorite sister. I won’t allow him to take possession of everything you have. You must also have me in your ship. half of!"
Hiding behind Wei An, Saratoga's tone of voice was a bit tougher.
"Later, sister will talk to you carefully."
Lexington frowned and then concentrated on waiting for Wei An to say something.
"Wait until I get the drawings, soon."
After saying that, the two of them ran out of the room without waiting for a reaction and took the drawings back.
Looking at the drawings rolled together in Wei An's hands, Lexington and Saratoga knew that this was the aircraft carrier designed by Wei An.
It was also them. The hull might be used in the future, so she clenched her fists unconsciously, especially Lexington. She originally thought that Wei An was going to change his mind today, but now the drawings were already in front of her.
Feng and Clemenceau learned from the past, she had always been full of expectations for the design of the Vian aircraft carrier, and they had never asked Vian what the design would be like.
Lexington.
Saratoga was obviously a little more anxious. She snatched the drawing from Wei An's hand and opened it on the table.
But after just one glance, Saratoga was stunned. Who? Where is she?
What did she see?
A battleship that she had never seen before was listing its information in detail.
Lexington looked at Saratoga and looked at it immediately. After a long look, the two of them looked at Wei An like a wooden figure like her sister.
It's like hell.
Although they know that Wei An has always regarded aircraft carriers as more important than other battleships, they are not so crazy.
The main force at sea and in deep seas has always been battleships, and they are also built to have larger displacements. Battleship.
But now they see something, a behemoth is on the drawing board.
The flight deck is 332 meters long. The most outrageous thing is that the width of the flight deck designed by Vian is more than double that of Sarato, reaching 76 meters. m.
There is also an angled deck that is not similar to theirs before. How is this design different from previous battleships? Their minds are at a loss.
The flight deck is so outrageous, let alone the ship below. Now Saratoga feels that her sister has become her big sister. Not only is she older, but the battleship is bigger than her.
At the same time, when she saw the displacement column on the battleship designed by Wei An, Saratoga rubbed her eyes repeatedly to confirm that she had read it correctly.
The hull frame alone had a displacement of 6W without carrying a carrier-based aircraft, and the displacement and tonnage were arranged through the process. Wei An's careful arrangement does not have a lot of wasted space like her and other aircraft carriers.
Even under such circumstances, her hangar capacity can accommodate 80 ships using current carrier-based aircraft..
This drawing is more than twice the size of her hull. According to conservative estimates, Saratoga can accommodate more than 160 carrier-based aircraft
(the aircraft of World War II are not comparable to modern aircraft, no matter how large it is). Volume or weight.)
Also, the double-layer hangar hull structure they often saw disappeared, which made her a little curious.
If the Lexington's hull was added to other ship equipment, the displacement would be easily achieved. Rushing to 7W, and with the addition of carrier-based aircraft, Saratoga couldn't even imagine how big her sister could be.
The speed requirement for the battleship was the same as Yukikaze and the others. The maximum speed was raised to 40 knots, and Sara was used to it. Toga and the others were not surprised.
As for the Lexington power arrangement, Vian is also directly preparing to use the power system used by Clemenceau.
In terms of design, this battleship drawing has enough space for the installation of the power system.
"Sister, please pinch me to see if it’s true."
Looking at the data given on the Vian drawings, Saratoga was still a little unreal, so he put his little face close to it.���Lexington's hand.
In response to Saratoga's inquiry, Lexington's mind went blank and she could only see this drawing.
"Is this for me?"
"Yes."
Looking at the two surprised women, Wei An calmly drank a sip of coffee.
"Commander, is it too big?"
"Not big, not big. You are the core of the fleet. No matter how big it is, it is suitable."
"So what is the function of this?"
The place Lexington pointed to was the location of the angled deck. This was also a problem that troubled the two sisters.
"In the past, you all had one flight deck. This is equivalent to one more deck, which can accommodate several aircraft taking off and landing at the same time without interfering with each other."
Because the carrier mother herself is controlling the carrier-based aircraft, the success rate of landing is not comparable to that of ordinary aircraft carriers.
The more important thing about the angled deck is that a large number of carrier-based aircraft can be quickly taken off in a short period of time.
