In the past, these first -class protective cruisers compared to the installed patrols that used key protection in the past, but they were not bad, and the price was lower, the speed was higher, and the cost was low.
The Navy of the Kingdom of Ruhr is a good battleship.
But with the rapid popularization of hardening armor and quick -fire artillery technology, they have become fast and outdated.
Two Bolva Sea War, whether it is the Great Empire Navy itself, or the first protective cruiser of the Garfia Empire Navy, the second -class protective cruiser is very unbearable.
Cannon firepower.
Coupled with the performance of the Daheng Empire Navy's installed patrol formation, the fool also knows that a large number of votes will be built with the trend. By then, a large number of first -class protective cruisers in the Kingdom of Cruch will fall into the embarrassing situation of use.
At this time, they need a new battleship to replace a large number of first -class cruisers and new patrols against the Great Empire Navy and other countries.
There is no doubt that this new battleship can only be a new armored cruiser!
Not only do they have to engage in new style patrols, but they also have to engage in a new style patrol that can completely suppress the Great Heng Empire Navy and the Navy of other countries.
In this case, the Kingdom of Cruch did not hesitate for too long, and quickly started designing a variety of armored cruisers.
For example, in order to fight the Fengyang -class armored cruiser of the Daheng Empire Navy, it is also to fight the large tonnage armored cruisers in other countries. They think it is necessary to have a faster, bigger, and stronger battleship.
Expand the original Frank -class armored cruiser to match the two hundred and 30 millimeters of fast -fired guns with two single -door single, 140 millimeters of speed fire gun firepower. These firepower is actually not important. The important thing is that the important thing is
The hull was extended to increase the power unit to increase the speed, so the tonnage of this stuff reached more than 14,000 tons, which can run enough 23 verses.
In terms of speed, the Fengyang class of the Great Empire Navy can be hung, because the Fengyang level is only 20 verses!
But there is reluctance, but it is not as good as the Fengyang level in the firepower.
However, this large -tonnage armored cruiser is expensive and it is impossible to build it one by one. At the same time, there are quite a lot of armored cruisers in other countries.
The Caigon -class armored cruiser of the Great Empire Navy, which is not only equipped with eight Daheng Empire Navy itself, but also four ships will be served this year, and other countries have ordered a lot.
The scale must be able to reach more than 20 ships.
At the same time, other countries also have a construction plan for 10,000 tons of loading, and there are many. For this reason, the Krus Kingdom Navy also needs an armored cruiser that can maintain a number. For this reason, they have also engaged in a shrinking version of 10,000 tons loading.
Tour out.
But even if it is shrinking, it also reflects the characteristics of the Kingdom of Cruch, that is, paying great attention to speed, so this 10,000 -ton armor can run 23 verses ...
Even the firepower is not as good as the Klite -class armored cruiser, and the protection is not as good as!
But people plan to build a dozen!
It can also be seen from the construction of these two -stage armored cruisers. The Kruhr Kingdom Navy has not expected to have a decisive battle to fight in the installation patrol.
The first class is to fight against the break.
As for the fleet decisive battle, they have a bunch of first -class battleships!
When the Kingdom of the Kingdom of Cruch began to develop hybrid main guns for the Bolva Sea, the fast -shooting main artillery patrol, the Kyle Empire Navy and the Walia Empire Navy, Olsa Empire Navy, Garfia Empire Navy
, They are all without exception to develop towards the mixed main gun ship and the rapid shooting main gun outfit.
Interestingly, in fact, this year has also exposed another new main ship of the Dayheng Empire, that is, the Mirror River fired at full speed guns.
However, this warship did not cause much sensation, but it just caused many countries to think that the Daheng people were really crazy to engage in patrols!
That's right, no country treats the Mirror River as a battleship. Even if it is the Great Empire Navy itself, it is pondered to classify this stuff back into the armored cruiser.
After all, it belongs to the fast -fired guns of the patrol level. Although the number is a bit more, there are six dual -seat dual -with dual -with dual -to -stand.
But this is still the firepower of the patrol level. There is no tube with a diameter of 300 millimeters.
As for the strong firepower, the Manning -class battleship of the Krore Kingdom Navy has twelve -level main guns except the four main guns.
Then, then
And in the age when there is no unified fire control, this kind of battleship with a bunch of second -level main guns can only be washed the deck at close range. The combat effectiveness will not be more than 12,000 tons.
How strong is the cruiser!
How to say, anyway, it is used for washing the deck. What can be done in the Mirror River can do it, and the Fengyang level can be dry, and it is cheaper!
The reality is also the mirror river battleship without a uniform fire control. What do you say since the performance of the deck? It is naturally topped to wash the deck.
It is enough to let any enemy ship doubt life.
However, it is very embarrassing when conducting long -range real -real bomb tests, because the number of main guns is too large and the rate of fire is fast. The artilleryers of each cannon can not even observe the water droplets aroused by the artillery shells that they belong to.
So that when the shooting of the shooting is not available, when the fast shooting, the long -distance design hit rate is extremely low, and it is not even better to use a few artillery to slowly aim at the hit. This can at least watch the water droplets and will not mess up!
But what's the use of the fast -shooting main gun in that twelve doors?
In the end, the Daheng Empire Navy quickly concluded that before installing the unified fire control, this breaking thing could only be used to the deck. The efficiency of the long -distance shelling was too low, and it was impossible to bear the heavy responsibility of the battleship.
However, this breaking stuff is full of 16,000 tons. The original cost exceeded 7 million. If you can only wash the deck in the future, you can only expect the warship to install a unified fire control in the future, and then upgrade the upgrade, and then upgrade to upgrade.
The main gun above, the increase of the caliber is not expecting. The ammunition vehicle and gun seat are already designed and set, and there is no way to change it at all.
However, you can upgrade the two hundred and fifty mm thirty -fold caliber guns to a 45 -fold caliber cannon with the same caliber. Although it will increase the weight, it can also reduce the number of main guns, the number of sub -guns, and the number of coal loading.
Come to balance.
After this upgrade, it can barely use long -range artillery warfare.
