Chapter 383
The ship was closed, and the weather was very good.
At night, the Whale Sea Garrison closed the dock.
The dock built in the port area according to Wei'an's plan can only be said to be much wider than the dock used in the academy before.
There is no problem in accommodating the manifestation of various large ships.
Now it is Dock No. 1.
The important ship girls around Wei'an are all there.
Lexington, Hood, Saratoga, and St. George.
The two aircraft carriers docked on the other side of the port have already launched the carrier-based aircraft on their warships and patrolled the port area.
Hood's warship is also in operation and can enter combat at any time.
Because what happens tonight is really very important.
St. George's ship is manifested.
The first warship under his command with a displacement of more than 100,000 tons.
In this dangerous front-line garrison, he couldn't help but be cautious.
"Relax, you have seen other people's ship bodies materialize, it's very simple."
Vian trembled and handed the warship blueprint in his hand to St. George.
"Commander, don't worry, I'm not nervous, I hope you can calm down."
The tall St. George patted Vian on the shoulder with his hand, trying to make Vian relax a little.
Then he took the resource boxes from Lexington and jumped into the dock.
"Commander, why didn't you see you so nervous when other sisters materialized the ship body?"
Lexington whispered in Vian's ear.
"The warship is over 100,000 tons, I don't know if there will be any changes for you."
"And this time she used a huge number of ship equipment."
"Even to increase her mental core limit, I have already used 12 warship cores."
As he spoke, Vian had already tremblingly taken out the ship equipment prepared for St. George from his pocket.
The Lexington and Saratoga, which also have a hull length of more than 300 meters, are mainly a platform for carrying fighters.
At the same time, the displacement is not at the same level as St. George for the time being, and the required power demand is also a little lower.
Therefore, the space should appear to be more abundant.
The most obvious difference is that for the same [Heavy Improved Power System Type 2], the two aircraft carriers only need to install two.
And St. George Vian arranged four for her to ensure that she can fight under extreme maneuverability.
Sufficient power, great power to create miracles.
The result is that other warships with the same configuration can still ensure a certain amount of internal space for activities.
St. George is a weapon from head to toe, except for the superstructure where he can live.
Even the living space in the superstructure was deliberately reduced by him, just to arm St. George to the teeth.
The interior of the ship is all for military service.
Therefore, Wei An felt a little distressed. He had no idea how many resources St. George needed so far.
The first thing he took out was the main gun copied from the Baicai battleship, four J country triple 510mm main guns, with 2 in front and 2 in the back.
The main feature is balanced firepower.
The second is two types of secondary guns.
E country triple 152mm dual-purpose high-altitude and flat guns (Neptune guns), a total of six.
Although the performance of this gun is very excellent, the price of its large caliber and multiple barrels is that it is relatively large in size.
Even as a secondary gun, St. George can only be arranged in a triangle next to the superstructure on the front and rear decks.
The width of the ship can no longer guarantee that it can accommodate more 152mm secondary guns.
Therefore, Wei An also prepared a second type of secondary gun.
The G country twin 128mm high-level dual-purpose guns that were once used very frequently by his ship girl.
A total of 8 guns.
Neatly installed on the decks on the left and right sides of the superstructure.
Four guns on each side.
So just for the secondary guns, Wei An has prepared a total of 34 guns for St. George.
Next is the anti-aircraft gun. After confirming that the previous anti-aircraft guns could not meet his needs.
It has been replaced with the Bosford E country 6-link 40mm anti-aircraft gun. He is very grateful to the vanguard far away in the E-link department.
If it weren't for her, Wei An would not be able to find such an excellent ship in the infinite space.
And Wei An prepared a total of 12 six-link anti-aircraft guns for St. George.
A total of 72 anti-aircraft guns, how good the anti-aircraft network can be supported, still needs further actual combat testing.
Next up are two Type 0 five-barrel 610mm torpedoes to meet greater adaptability.
Launch system.
Now because he has no better torpedoes, he can only arrange for St. George to use this.
But after better torpedoes are developed, they can all be replaced.
The installation method is still the same as other warships, installed on two sides of the hull, one on each side.
In addition, the radar that is indispensable to all his ship girls is also indispensable to St. George.
Anti-submarine is not necessary in theory when there are other warships that can be used for anti-submarine when the fleet is sailing, and it also squeezes the use space of other ship equipment.
But St. George even sacrificed the normal living space, so it must be more force.
Improved active sonar and improved deep throw, Vian installed them for her!
The propulsion system still chooses the water jet propulsion like other warships.
At this point, Vian's hands finally don't have to tremble, because his equipment has been used up.
Among them, the Neptune gun and the E country six-link 40mm anti-aircraft gun cost him 20 bitter tea seeds!
The rest just needs to wait for St. George, who is now materializing the hull, to install.
The cost of so many ship equipment is also very obvious. It takes up a lot of usable space, so the holes reserved for the vertical launch system of St. George.
Compared with Clemenceau, it seems a little insufficient.
There are only 192 holes reserved in the design drawing of Vian.
As for the reason, this time the superstructure of St. George is slightly different from other ship girls.
She has a hangar, and it is a lifting hangar.
Vian applied the experience of designing the hulls of Lexington and Saratoga to the hull of St. George.
It gives her a little ability that is different from other gunboat ship girls now.
St. George, who is in the process of materializing the hull, has now come to the end.
The biggest difference is that there is an additional slide rail at the tail of the battleship deck.
It can be used to launch carrier-based aircraft.
Because they are battleships controlled by ship girls, they have another advantage over normal battleships carrying water reconnaissance.
The ejected fighters do not need to be recovered and can be used directly as disposable consumables.
Then continue to generate fighters in the hangar.
Therefore, the floats can be omitted, and normal carrier-based aircraft models can be used.
The only thing to pay attention to is to meet the upper limit of the use of the catapult.
This will require waiting for the completion of the St. George's hull and testing step by step.
Then select and design more suitable carrier-based aircraft.
As for why Wei'an chose to install a hangar on the hull of St. George.
Improve St. George's reconnaissance, enemy detection, anti-submarine, shell correction, relay guidance and other capabilities when acting alone.
