The British navy has three warships named after the Royal ark, and the current Royal ark aircraft carrier has cross era significance for the British navy.
The reason is very simple. Almost all the previous aircraft carriers were refitted.
At the beginning, the first aircraft carrier, also known as the Royal ark, was refitted and built with a coal freighter in 1913. It was the first real water aircraft carrier in the world.
Now, for those in active service, the aircraft carrier fury was refitted from the cruiser fury; The aircraft carrier hundred eyed giant was refitted from a merchant ship; The aircraft carrier eagle was refitted from a battleship“ Bravery and glory were both refitted from cruisers.
Only the aircraft carrier Atlantis is the first specially designed aircraft carrier. Unfortunately, it is a small aircraft carrier with less aircraft carrying capacity and low speed, which can not meet the needs of war.
Therefore, the British Navy needs a new and specially designed large aircraft carrier
W-a-d-forbes, a famous British designer, finally designed this aircraft carrier after several years of efforts. At the same time, he is also the designer of the subsequent brilliant aircraft carrier.
Although this aircraft carrier has been planned since the early 1930s, due to economic problems, it was not until 35 years that the construction of this aircraft carrier was started at the shipyard in Birkenhead.
Launched in 37 years and commissioned in November 38, they are absolutely proud of the latest British Navy aircraft carrier.
Therefore, although it was planned to be named "Mercury" when it was just built, the British Navy felt very unhappy, so they renamed the aircraft carrier "Royal Ark" originally during World War I as "Pegasus", vacated the name and gave it to the new warship.
From this alone, we can see the position of this aircraft carrier in the British navy. Its tall fully enclosed bow, wide flight deck and the maximum loading capacity of 72 aircraft are enough to show the strength of this aircraft carrier!
When it was just dawn, a general who arrived on the aircraft carrier last night couldn't help coming out.
Admiral Tom Phillips, an old admiral of the British Empire, joined the Royal Navy in 1903. Up to now, it has been more than 30 years.
Now, he is the deputy chief of staff of the Navy and the commander in chief of the sea operation.
The navy must act immediately. At sea, give the Germans the greatest pressure and let the Germans know the cost of disobedience to Britain!
He came from London last night and directly boarded the aircraft carrier. As a veteran navy general, he also likes the aircraft carrier Royal ark very much. During this voyage, he will take the warship as his flagship.
Battleships look majestic, but they are not as flexible as carrier aircraft. In the Navy, Phillips likes aircraft carriers.
He is not tall. Standing with those big Navy officers and soldiers, he looks quite short. Therefore, he is also called thumb.
Of course, no one dared to call him the nickname to his face. He wore a white navy uniform and walked on the wooden flight deck.
As a specially designed aircraft carrier, the first goal of this warship is to provide the largest flight deck.
Therefore, compared with other warships, the "Royal Ark" adopts an extended flight deck. The flight deck is very long, extending out of the bow and stern of the ship, greatly increasing the area of the flight deck.
At the same time, the flight deck is divided into two parts, with the front for taking off and the rear for landing. It is the earliest British aircraft carrier that can take off and land on the flight deck at the same time.
It seems that this aircraft carrier is majestic enough. Somehow, compared with the German aircraft carrier, it seems a little small.
The German aircraft carrier count Zeppelin has a displacement of 30000 tons, which is one circle larger than its own! At the same time, the German aircraft carrier also uses a strange looking flight deck, which makes people confused.
Different from history, the development of the German Navy has become much stronger.
Not counting those built on the slipway, but only those in service, the Germans already have two Zeppelin Earl class aircraft carriers and two Bismarck class battleships. After World War I, the German Navy was almost castrated. Unexpectedly, in a few years, the German Navy has become so powerful!
Of course, our side's purpose of going to sea this time is to completely block the North Sea and let Germany lose its sea passage. In this case, there may be a conflict with the German Navy and a naval battle may come.
The German Navy and the British navy are also a pair of enemies. The battle of Jutland in those years was extremely fierce. Do you want to repeat it this time?
British navy, won't lose!
After all, the German Navy has just grown up. Their tactical use and personnel are no better than Britain, which has been a naval power for a century!
Walking on the wide flight deck, this is Phillips's morning exercise program. Just after he got out of the bridge, he saw several busy people on the deck.
On the deck, a layer of paint is being sprayed. It has been painted all day yesterday. Today, there is still a small piece of the stern.
The deck is made of wood. Although it was relatively strong when it was just laid, after several sea trips, the wood on the deck will be damaged and the sea salt will erode the deck.
If the time is long, for example, if the aircraft carrier is moored on the wharf for several months, it can even grow moss on the deck.
Therefore, every once in a while, the deck needs to be painted.
Wooden deck, which can cushion the landing of aircraft, is the standard choice of this era. Now they really don't understand why the German aircraft carrier and flight deck are still made of iron.
Just as he wanted to talk to the painted sailors, Phillips heard the roar of planes in the distance. He looked up. He narrowed his eyes and looked at the airliners flying from the East.
When he just saw it, he already felt bad. When the passenger plane flew close, his anxiety became stronger and stronger.
Intelligence agencies have evaluated this airliner jointly developed by Germany and the United States. The results are very annoying. This airliner can be easily refitted into a bomber. At the same time, because of its high flying altitude, the existing own fighters can not be intercepted!
Our own anti-aircraft guns are also out of reach. Therefore, once we go to war with Germany, this kind of bomber is the most terrible.
And now, is it a state of war?
When he looked anxiously at the "passenger plane" flying in the sky, he saw something thrown under the belly of the passenger plane.
"Come on, sound the air defense alarm!" Phillips shouted. At this moment, his face turned white.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
