The so-called container is to put the goods in the box. In fact, the container has existed for a long time. In 1801, Dr. Anderson of Britain put forward the idea of container transportation.
Until the early 20th century, the British railway company tried to put furniture in wooden containers and transport it with railway flat cars. After arriving at the station, the box was transferred to the carriage with a crane, and then the carriage transported the goods to the destination. This new mode of transportation has been popularized.
Around 1920, the New York Central Railway Company and the Pennsylvania railway company introduced 9-foot steel containers. Each railway freight car can hold 6 containers, each with a carrying capacity of 5 tons. With these containers, the efficiency of the railway in transferring goods along the way is greatly improved and the cost is greatly reduced.
During World War II in history, American amphibious landing ships loaded trucks to perform beach landing missions. At the same time, the military also uses small steel containers to transport soldiers' personal belongings.
However, in this era, the advantages of containers have not been reflected. It is not until later generations when roads and shipping are combined. After transportation by sea, containers can be directly loaded on the vehicle and arrive at the destination.
What are the advantages of containers? Of course, this advantage can only be reflected when it is convenient to load and unload and transfer from sea to land. In later generations, Malcolm McLean, an American, did it. Therefore, he is known as the father of modern containers.
Therefore, at present, container transportation, although there are, has not sprung up on a large scale. Lufthansa shipping company has realized the huge profits, so it wants to provoke this new transportation reform. However, this requires a large number of container ships. Therefore, Lufthansa shipping company found Newport News Shipbuilding Company in the United States to order new container ships. Moreover, the demand is still quite large, 20 at a time!
This was normal, but when they took out the design drawings, Walter, the head of Newport News shipyard, was surprised. This so-called container ship is very similar to the aircraft carrier!
At the top, there is a flat deck, and the ship island is arranged on the right. Although limited by the displacement, the total length of this cargo ship is only 148 meters, from the appearance, it is the appearance of the aircraft carrier.
At the same time, in the lower part, there is a floor and a lift on the side. This is definitely an aircraft carrier. Where is the so-called container ship!
"This was designed after our careful consideration. In the lower warehouse, there are some valuable containers, while on the top, four layers of containers can be stacked. In this way, the efficiency can be improved to the greatest extent."
"Can't you pile it all on top?" Asked Walter.
"We can think that when the sea is stormy, the container may fall into the sea. Therefore, we should put the precious container below." Said art.
"So it is." Walter nodded: "there is also some surplus power system you need, isn't it? The speed of 15 knots is not low for transport ships. Why 18 knots? "
"In fact, we originally wanted to have 25 sections, which was reduced to 18 sections in consideration of the construction cost." "You should know that with the continuous progress of the times, the timeliness of cargo transportation has also been mentioned. The higher the speed, the better," Yat said
Att's answer satisfied the other party, and after some discussion on the details, the two sides finally finalized the preliminary framework of cooperation.
"As for the cost, we can pay 20% in advance. After we get the cargo ship, we will deliver the rest. Anyway, our ships are not delivered together. We hope to build one and deliver one. We can't wait."
The deposit is small, but as long as the delivery is fast, it will not be affected. It is also the most common situation in the construction of cargo ships to deliver one ship and settle the balance. Anyway, for the steel used in the construction of shipyards, only a deposit will be paid.
It is also normal to build one, deliver one and settle the balance of one.
"We require a 30% deposit." Taking this opportunity, Walter continued to increase the proportion.
"OK, you can." Art agreed to the other party's request.
Looking at the ship being built outside, art was in a high mood.
On the surface, he is the head of Lufthansa shipping company. In fact, he serves for the German Navy. Of course, containers are the trend, but now, it is still dominated by the Navy.
All German shipyards have been started. At the same time, when France is laid down, there will be large and small French shipyards, which integrate French industry and German Navy, so that a large number of naval soldiers can be killed.
However, this is still not enough!
The German Navy, if it wants to develop into an ocean Navy in a short time, will eventually have to compete with the US Navy. They need a large number of warships!
Therefore, there are still some ships that cannot be built under the control of Germany, including a special escort aircraft carrier proposed by head of state Chirac.
The current experience of the German Navy has explained the importance of aircraft carriers. At the same time, the construction of aircraft carriers is also quite complex. In this case, it is imperative to develop an escort aircraft carrier.
Regular aircraft carriers are used to fight the enemy's fleet, and the main task of escort aircraft carriers is to protect merchant ships.
This kind of aircraft carrier does not need to fight a decisive battle with the main force of the other party. It is generally launched in front of the transport fleet, using carrier based aircraft to scout and attack submarines, or guiding surface ships to attack. In addition to escort, escort aircraft carriers often shoulder the task of transport ships.
Therefore, the escort aircraft carrier does not need to have too strong protective ability. It can be built according to the standards of civil ships. However, it must have sufficient quantity and can be built in large quantities.
The current container ship is actually an escort aircraft carrier. It is relatively small, with a full load of only 10000 tons. The flight deck above can not be made into an inclined deck. At the same time, it has just met the take-off and landing of carrier aircraft. However, this is enough.
Hilrick's idea, of course, comes from later generations of Americans. This is simply the German version of Casablanca class aircraft carrier! In history, Americans built a total of 50 ships, and the fastest one was built in 76 days.
Germany will have a vast ocean and a large number of maritime interests to be protected in the future. This escort aircraft carrier is absolutely necessary. Moreover, the Americans helped build it. Although the price is slightly higher, it is definitely a thing that makes the German Navy proud.
