Chapter 2096： Veteran Undead II

(Page 1/1)

It is the USS Deutsche battleship and 6 Caesar-class battleships that really take the lead. These 7 battleships are equipped with 6 12-inch L40 main guns with central axis arrangement. Four of the Caesar-class battleships had moderate speeds, around 20 knots. The Deutsche Deutsche is considered to be the earliest battlecruiser of the German Navy. It was built with advanced equipment such as kerosene-fired boilers and steam turbines. The maximum speed is 23 knots, which is barely a battle cruiser. Although these warships are worse than the British dreadnoughts equipped with new green hat armor-piercing shells, they are still capable of fighting. As for the former fearlessness that the British may survive, that advantage is even greater.

In the distance, four Mainz-class armored cruisers docked on the other side of the port. These 4 armored cruisers are known as the masters of armored cruisers in the pre-fearless era! This evaluation is quite high. The 8 254MM main guns adopt a quadrilateral layout similar to that of the historical battlecruiser Vonde Tahn. Except for a slightly smaller caliber, this is properly the battlecruiser at that time! Whether it is power, defense or firepower, it is the leader of the fashion cruiser! In the conflict between Germany and France in Africa, the Mainz-class battlecruiser performed very well, killing the French dreadnought Charlemagne. At that time, he was very prestigious.

However, as the German Navy entered the era of fearlessness, the status of Mainz-class armored cruisers in the German Navy also gradually declined, from the first-line main battleship to the cruiser colony. However, the German Navy really did not forget this class of warships, otherwise it would not spend extra money to replace the power system of these warships. Although these warships did not participate in the battle of the Dorger Sandbar that shocked the world at the beginning. They did not have their part when they besieged Thomas’ Queen-class battleships, but in the final decisive battle, the Mainz-class armored cruisers still had to take up the responsibility against the British light cruisers. There was no way. The Germans and the British in the light cruisers The gap is a bit big and can only be made up with armored cruisers.

To a certain extent, the Mainz-class armored cruiser can run at a speed of more than 23 knots after being modified, and can drag racing with the main fleet. The status of the Mainz-class armored cruiser in the German Navy It is taller than the Caesar-class battleship. So before joining the war, Schell also specially reminded Earl Spey that these four armored cruisers are an important part of the future cruiser squad. When necessary, it is better to lose the Caesar-class battleship than the armored cruiser.

And next to the Mainz-class armored cruiser, there are two other armored cruisers with a smaller circle. Maybe the younger people don’t know it, but as the Earl of Spey, who served on this battleship that year These two battleships are quite cordial. They are the Munich-class armored cruisers that pioneered a generation. Of course, the Munich-class armored cruisers that were built that year are only the last two in service. The state is not counted. Well, the speed is not that fast, these last two are actually just as reserve warships.

In addition to these old-fashioned warships, Ruprecht also gave Earl Spey some new warships, such as the Frankfurt-class light cruiser with a standard displacement of up to 6,500 tons. This warship is equipped with 6 175MM guns and is equipped with a pure turret. Weapons and hull armor protection are also sufficient to withstand various ammunition fired by the British 6-inch artillery. The power cabin has a staggered layout, and the maximum speed is more than 27 knots.

This is definitely the leader of the light cruisers in the entire high seas fleet. When Hipper took his battlecruiser squadron to attack, he could only be equipped with a squad of 4 warships. This time, the prince gave Earl Spey 4 Frankfurt-class light cruisers and 2 other slightly smaller Studding-class light cruisers! The Studding light cruiser's defense level and speed are similar to the Frankfurt-class light cruiser. The only difference is that the central axis is deployed with six 150MM guns.

Looking at these once glorious battleships in front of him, Earl Spey was also full of emotion in his heart. Although the configuration of capital ships does not feel so high-end, Ruprecht is still very interesting in terms of destroyers and torpedo boats. There are only 15 destroyers in the German Navy with more than 1,800 tons, so Earl Spey was assigned 9 ships. You know, these super-large destroyers (according to World War I standards) originally served as the leaders of the major destroyers or torpedo boat brigades.

(Here, let me tell you about the meaning of the letters before the numbers in German destroyers and torpedo boats. This letter does not represent the model of the destroyer, but the manufacturer of the destroyer. For example, B represents the Brom-Forth Shipyard , V represents the Volkeng Shipyard, G represents the Germania Shipyard, represents the Royal Wilhelm Shipyard, and S represents the Hishaw Shipyard in Danzig.)

Because the German fleet is far from the British in terms of the number of battleships and the number of cruiser-class auxiliary battleships. In this case, in order to ensure that it can evacuate if the situation is not good, the Germans are in the area of ​​destroyers and torpedo boats. It’s been a lot of workIn history, the Germans owned and started construction of more than 300 torpedo boats and destroyers before the end of the war. After the war, even 50 of the most advanced destroyers were Seized in the UK, there are still 114 ships left in the Germans! Although only 24 ships were allowed to remain in the end, it can be seen that the number of German torpedo boats is still large, and it is precisely because of the large number of lightning fleets that the German navy has the confidence to launch against the British in the Dover Strait at night. attack!

On this plane, there are also a lot of German destroyers and torpedo boats, and more than 200 ships have been completed. Among these large number of destroyers, the tonnage of more than 1,500 tons is a small number, most of them are only about 1,000 tons, and many of them have a displacement of less than 500 tons. These small boats make it difficult for them to operate in the North Sea, but if It is not a problem to use in areas like the Strait of Dover. The destroyers in the hands of Earl Spey are also divided into three categories. And some destroyers have been improved.

For example, the S113 destroyer, which is the largest tonnage destroyer currently in service in the German Navy, has a standard displacement of 2,060 tons and a full load displacement of more than 2,400 tons. The ship is 106 meters long and 10.2 meters wide. If you look at the length of the waterline from a long distance, it is close to a small cruiser. The original armament of this destroyer is 4 150MM artillery and 2 twin 600MM torpedo launchers.
