Chapter 1151 The Americans Are Nervous
The opened gate of the shipyard, twenty huge warships slowly appeared in the sunlight for the first time, among which four extremely tall and heavy aircraft carriers attracted extra attention.
From the bottom of the hull to the highest point of the ship island, it is more than 70 meters and nearly 80 meters. Compared with the USS Enterprise, the world's first nuclear-powered aircraft carrier, it is a bit larger, even compared to Nimitz's first ship, Ni The Meads, it seems, look alike.
From the height and length to the width of the deck, the overall data is indeed no less than the size of Nimitz.
The length is 333 meters, the width of the ship's side is 43 meters, the widest part of overtime is 76 meters, the waterline is 11 meters, and the height from the waterline to the highest radar integrated mast is 62 meters. Such a huge body, Not at all inferior to the USS Nimitz aircraft carrier.
And this type of aircraft carrier, like Nimitz, is a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier. As we all know, except for the Ford that has just entered service, the rest of the eleven aircraft carriers in the United States are all Nimitz-class.
Almost all countries in the world, including the United States, took a breath after seeing the aircraft carrier that was not inferior to the Nimitz-class aircraft carrier.
When my hometown sent a special team to the shipyard, after seeing this aircraft carrier, they were all speechless for a long time.
If two ships were not enough, or the value of 100 million tons of fine iron ore, my hometown really wanted to buy all four of them.
Of course, if they want to buy it, Cai Ruichen must be willing to sell it. After all, two ships in his hometown are enough, and the Red Police Navy also needs to develop its strength.
It is impossible to really sell all of them to my hometown, not to mention the purpose of my hometown's final purchase of these two aircraft carriers.
Another goal is to be able to understand the above technologies and prepare for the research and development of the next level of domestic aircraft carriers.
The main thing is. This level of aircraft carrier uses steam ejection, which means that the carrier-based aircraft on the aircraft carrier can only maintain a certain quality. Because the steam ejection relies on the power released by the steam at once, and such power is uncontrollable.
Shot out to eject a thirty-five-ton combat carrier-based aircraft. Others, such as early warning aircraft and refueling aircraft, also need to ensure that they can withstand such a weight.
The reason why electromagnetic ejection has become the new pursuit of all countries with aircraft carrier ambitions is because electromagnetic ejection can eject aircraft of different weights, ranging from small drones to large early warning aircraft and tankers. In terms of weight restrictions, it can be said that it does not exist. Just don't exceed the maximum load of the ejection.
This is also the hometown for this aircraft carrier.
A big regret, of course, can buy such an aircraft carrier at a price worth about 5 billion to 6 billion U.S. dollars, and my hometown can accept it.
Although this price is much more expensive than the cost of the American Nimitz-class aircraft carrier, the various advanced technologies on it make my hometown very happy to pay for it.
If 10 billion can buy the nuclear reactor technology of a large ship, or it can be used on a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier with a displacement of more than 80,000 tons, my hometown will buy it without hesitation.
this thing. It is all monopolized by the United States, and there is one that can be sold to the hometown, no matter how expensive it is, as long as it is not outrageous. Can not refuse.
What's more, 10 billion bought this technology and got two aircraft carriers no less than Nimitz. This business is really profitable.
According to the calculations of the old engineers, the nuclear reactor in this type of aircraft carrier is fully capable of driving an aircraft carrier weighing 100,000 tons to a speed of up to 34 knots.
In order to maintain a speed of up to 35 knots within a certain period of time and allow the fully loaded carrier-based aircraft to take off more easily, the displacement was controlled at 86,000 tons.
At the same time, the hometown can also be sure. With a future technology group that can build an 86,000-ton heavy-duty aircraft carrier, it must also be able to build a 100,000-ton aircraft carrier.
However, the number of carrier-based aircraft carried on this aircraft carrier. It is not inferior to Nimitz at all, and there is no need to expand to a scale of 100,000 tons.
If you want to do it, you should do better. At least it can't be inferior to the Ford-class aircraft carrier in the United States, at least it must be on par.
The outside world is naturally not clear about the various details. This type of aircraft carrier has just appeared in front of the world, and the hull has not even touched the sea water.
So what kind of performance this aircraft carrier has, the outside world can only look at the huge hull and the empty deck on the aircraft carrier, and then make various guesses.
At the scene of the launching ceremony, when all the warships were about to enter the water, they all stopped.
All the gates of the shipyard were closed again, and a large number of people began to arrange the scene of the launching ceremony.
The Iraqi Navy and Marine Corps, teams of heavily armed soldiers, took over the security of the entire shipyard.
In the sky, the Iraqi Air Force also dispatched a huge fleet, and even sent vigilant troops directly to the Kuwaiti border near Umm Qasr.
In the nearby area, a large number of air defense forces are also ready for defense. Once someone comes to disrupt the launching ceremony, they will be resolutely counterattacked by the Future Technology Group and the Iraqi military at the same time.
Outside of Umm Qasr, the waters in the western part of the Persian Gulf were all blocked by the fleet of the hometown and the Iraqi navy.
It is mainly to defend against the dangers from the air. After all, everyone knows that taking out four heavy-duty nuclear-powered aircraft carriers in one breath is too exciting for many countries.
One of them is Israel. At this time, it would not be surprising if Israeli fighter jets came to strike and wanted to destroy these warships that had not yet been launched.
However, although Israel really wants to do this, facing the huge fleet of the Iraqi Air Force and the strong air defense capabilities on the ground, Israel is already very self-aware after two failures.
After all, even if these four aircraft carriers are destroyed, if the Future Technology Group still exists, they can rebuild the aircraft carrier.
And the price of doing this is to lose more fighter jets again, and at the same time it is very likely to trigger a full-scale war between Iraq and Israel.
However, this matter has also made the Israelis very excited, and they have even seen the dawn of their joint action with the United States against the future technology group.
Therefore, now Israel has begun to become less nervous. This group of Jews is very clear that now they only need to fan the flames and it is enough. The people who are really anxious are the Americans. (To be continued.)
