Chapter 1194： From the beauty of a lion to the furious Naouichi

Chapter 1194: From the beauty of a lion to the furious and bold 1

"Well, you guys, at this meeting, I don't want to discuss the responsibility of this battle, nor do I want to talk about politics, personnel, and other things. Let's talk about the topics you most want to change." Sir Fisher sees The senior officials of the Royal Navy and the engineers from the Navy Design Bureau who were sitting in front of him said calmly.

"This time, everyone can speak freely! You don't have to worry about my face, because soon what I say will no longer matter. You can annoy me as someone who ruined the future of the Royal Navy, and then nailed me to history. On the pillar of shame. But this time, I hope everyone will open up, for the future of the Royal Navy, and for the empire, let us have a good exchange.” Sir Fisher said this as if he was ten years old suddenly, although He is still very energetic, but the unwillingness and despair hidden in his eyes cannot be concealed anyway.

"Is it finally coming down?" Jericho looked at the somewhat decadent Sir Fisher in front of him, and then at the silent Churchill next to him. How could such a big thing be able to be carried by a single Thomas? The resentment accumulated by the navy fleet eventually broke out. Questions about the Admiralty's strategy, dissatisfaction with the warships provided by the Admiralty, and the fear and resentment of defeating undead opponents, finally set off a political storm!

"If some guys sitting in the office accusing us of incompetence really feel that they are not at fault, then come to the fast battleship detachment of the Royal Navy. Here I think you will find your home soon! In a certain battle, I was cleanly killed by the enemy! My three brothers and I used to serve under General Betty, and now I am the only one still alive. The friends I once knew are out of ten! They are big Some of them have become the souls of the North Sea. A few people are in the German POW camps. If the rest are sitting on a large bomb, God knows when it will blow us up!"

This article published in the Times by a man signed by the Navy Warrior finally formed an uproar. Later, more details were revealed, and the British battlecruiser seemed to have been pulled out of paper armor for a lot of criticism! Sir Fisher, the admirer of the "perfect cat", is naturally to blame. So, the best result waiting for him now is to take the blame and resign, and at the worst, he might have to go through a military court. And this time, it was basically the last time Sir Fisher presided over the meeting.

"I think everyone is very clear that the last Queen Elizabeth-class battleship has been outfitted. After that, we will start construction of new battleships. I know that everyone has a lot of complaints about our battleships, so we are analyzing you After the comments, the technical staff of the Royal Navy Design Institute finally worked out the design indicators for our next-generation battleship. Next, the designer Mr. Scott will explain the basic data of the new-level Rage fast battleship. , I hope everyone can speak freely." Churchill said to the side.

If the prince heard the name Fury at this moment, he would first think of its other nickname, Boh Cruiser. This stuff can be regarded as the extreme representative of Fisher's brain pumping, the pinnacle of high speed and strong firepower! A guy with a displacement of less than 20,000 tons can actually run a high speed of more than 30 knots, and has four 15-inch heavy guns, with a draft of just over 7 meters! This is totally a freak! what? Are you asking about protection? Well, the sidestring armor belt of this product is only 3 inches! Yes, you read that right! It is half thinner than Invincible!

And this guy’s combat mission was actually to go to the Baltic Sea to cooperate with the Russian Navy to launch a landing operation on the German mainland.... I don't want to think about it. In the Baltic Sea, launch a landing operation with the Russian Navy? Is there really no high seas fleet? Even if they are in the North Sea, they can easily reach the Baltic Sea through the Kiel Canal. It can only be said that, fortunately, this plan of Fisher did not succeed, otherwise, it would be more sad than the battle of the Dardanelles...

What's more tragic is that three such warships were built! The cost of the most expensive one is nearly 2.5 million pounds! Although we have to consider wartime inflation, consider the price of a lion in just over 2 million and the historically highest price of a Queen Elizabeth-class battleship of only 3 million... It's not too much to be cheating.......

This product also created a record in design. Historically, this design was designed in late January 1915, and then, construction started on March 28, 1915! In other words, it took 2 months from the design of the warship to the completion of the preparations before construction...

And the reason why the British of this plane gave this warship a name called The Fury is that they want the other side to feel the anger of the Royal Navy! The arrogant Black Hawk on the opposite side has already made the Empire feel unprecedented shame! And now! It's time to let them shower in the flames of destruction! This shows that the British have high expectations for this warship!

"First of all, let me talk about the armor defense issues that you are most concerned about." Scott cleared his throat and said, then motioned to his subordinates to hang a huge warship side planer on the wall.

"I rely on how this thing is a bit familiar!" Jericho glanced at the line drawing on the wall and rolled his eyes. Isn't this the Japanese hibiscus's side chart changed? A moment? Changed the armor thickness above from the millimeter used by the Japanese to the inch used by the British... This ism is easy to use!

"According to our experiments, the inclined armor has better resilience when facing the armor-piercing projectile. When the projectile’s falling angle is greater than a certain level, the projectile’s fuze is almost certain to fail. This angle is about 25 degrees. Therefore, If our armor is tilted 15 degrees, then even if the thickness is smaller, it can still ensure sufficient defense. Therefore, the armor thickness of our new generation of battleship is 320mm tilted 15 degrees! This is enough to face the German 15-inch naval gun s attack."

"In order to ensure sufficient defensive thickness, we positioned the armor belt at a height of 4.5 meters in the vertical direction. The 320MM armor belt is 3 meters high, and the lower part of the waterline is gradually reduced to 6 inches. The upper part of the horizontal armor belt has a thickness. The main horizontal armor belt of 75MM covers the area from turret 1 to turret 4. This armor design is simple and efficient, and is sufficient for us to defend the German fleet of guns of any caliber."
