This new type of armored cruiser naturally uses the idea of a unified and all -heavy artillery ship. The main designer Hou Hai Shaoqing is directly equipped with the eight meters of three hundred millimeters, 45 times the caliber cannon, and the four -seater dual -combined layout.
It reached 18 kilometers and a super luxurious power system, which is enough to allow this more than 17,000 tons of armored cruisers to run to 24th quarter.
This is almost the same as the second -class active in contemporary active service. As for the armored cruiser, it is not so fast for the time being. It was still about 20 sections before.
This armored cruiser is actually the same as the previous Fengyang -class armored cruiser, which belongs to the weak protective fire high -air aviation version of the contemporary battleship.
However, more than 17,000 tons of armored cruisers continued to call the armored cruiser, so this time the Daheng Empire Navy simply called the war cruiser and gave a new classification.
The cruiser was listed in the battle, and the first ship was named Qiping, and two ships were scheduled to build two ships.
After the development ideas and construction plans of the two main ships of the battleship and the battle cruiser, the construction plan of other various auxiliary ships also followed up quickly.
As the speed of the new type of battleship reaches 20, the battle cruisers are running around twenty -four verses, which means that the early four Fengyang -class armored cruisers were opened.
The speed limited to section 20 is already impossible to provide avant -garde investigation missions for the main battleships.
At the same time, the second -class cruiser did not develop well before. The original batch of four or five thousand tons of second cruisers was not good at the Bolwa Sea War.
In two Bowa Sea War, its tactical effect is not as good as the Yuchi -class cruiser of more than 2,000 tons.
However, more than 2,000 tons of Yuchi -class cruisers still have their own limitations. It is okay to act as a destroyer.
To this end, the Great Empire Navy needs a new and medium -tonnage cruiser.
The speed cannot be lower than the 27th section. It is best to be further improved to about thirty, but the ultra -high speed of the 30th section of the 30th section is still too difficult for the existing steam motor system.
Seventeen, even so, in order to reach the speed of Section 27, the large -length and width ratio of this class ship is also very weak, but the armor protection is also very weak, but anyway
The diameter speed cannon is still okay ...
At the same time, combined with the "light armored cruiser" protection concept that appeared in the first half of the year, coupled with the concept of long -distance warfare, it was prepared to use the eight -door unified caliber of 150 mm, 45 times the diameter speed gun, and the side of the main battleship was used by the main battleship.
The layout of the side armor belt, etc.
The tonnage is not large, only about 5,000 tons. From the perspective of combat use, it is actually classified as the scope of the previous investigating cruiser.
The new cruiser is named the Pingxi -class light cruiser, and eight preliminary construction is planned. Four ships will be started first this year. Next year, four ships are continued to be built or the improvement type is directly built.
As a combined destroyer or destroyer pilot, based on the Yuanlin class destroyer, it further improves the construction of a wide -ranging destroyer.
It is also a large -length and width ratio, protection, what kind of protection for destroyers ...
The main cannon is planned to use a 120 millimeter -fired gun, with the seventy -five millimeter -fired guns.
But one of these two auxiliary ships also have an extremely important improvement. The torpedo expected to be matched above will be thermal torpedo.
The Great Heng Empire had cooperated with the Klele Empire to develop thermal torpedo many years ago. However, the Kyle Empire has developed earlier in thermal torpedo, and has a lot of technical reserves.
Related technologies, and then cooperated with research and development.
At present, the thermal torpedo has been made of samples and tested. Although it takes several years to complete it, the Daheng Navy has now prepared thermal torpedo.
After this effective range can reach a few kilometers of thermal torpedo, the destroyer can become a real destroyer, rather than the same as before. It can only act as a platform and mixed use of anti -moring firepower!
In addition to the above -mentioned cruisers and destroyers, as the armored cruiser is too low, the firepower is low, the firepower is low, and at the same time, with the expansion of the maritime trade of the Great Empire, the protection demand for maritime routes has gradually increased.
Therefore, the Great Heng Empire Navy also urgently needed a successor of the Klite -class armored cruiser. During the fleet, it was barely able to act as a high -speed formation to join the avant -garde formation, but more importantly, it was the ocean escort of war and hunting.
Enemy's cruiser.
In terms of task nature, it is actually similar to the Klite -class armored cruiser.
Originally, the best warship is naturally a new generation of war cruisers, but this is expensive, more than 17,000 tons of Qi -level battle cruisers, which can be ordered than more than 18,000 tons.
Nympho
Such an expensive battle cruiser must be scarce, and it is prepared to participate in the fleet decisive battle. How can it be used for ordinary escort and hunting the enemy cruisers.
Therefore, the Daheng Empire Navy needs a large number of cruisers that can build a large number of construction, used to escort, overseas, and break the cross.
Then, a river -class heavy cruiser with a standard displacement of 10,000 tons was made, with a speed of 26.
It is worth noting that the ship also belongs to the category of armored cruisers. It is affiliated with side -side armored bands. The main gun layout follows the concept of unified and unified artillery.
Instant two hundred millimeters, forty -five times the gun, all four main guns can be fired at the side at the same time.
The speed is good and the firepower is powerful, but the armor protection is not good. The main armor zone is only 75 millimeters!
However, the design idea of the battleship is a unified full -heavy cannon. It is played with a long -distance battle.
Under 30 degrees of elevation, the maximum range of the main gun can reach 18,000 kilometers!
Including new battleships, battle cruisers, and heavy cruisers, the main guns of these three warships have the biggest range of the most advanced range to 18 kilometers.
