Chapter 388： Black history one (1/2)
”Equipped with 10 280mml50 main guns, the thickest part of the main armor belt is 270mm, the front of the turret is 9 inches, the side is 170mm, and the thickness of the turret is up to 230mm. Equipped with 24 boilers, 4 steam turbines, with a rated output of 54,000 horsepower and a speed of 25.5 knots. Displacement 22,000 tons, am I right? Mr. Wigner?” After Wigner introduced his battleship, the prince repeated the data again.
”It's such a prince.” Wigner nodded and said.
”Okay, I would like to ask, what is the height of your so-called 270mm main armor belt? The description of the main armor belt is 270mm to 200mm thick, so good I want to know, these two thicknesses of steel plates account for What's the ratio!” The prince raised the first question!
”This is just a rough structure. We haven't completed all the design work. We just took out the rough plan of our own plan.” Wegener said with a slight change of expression.
The design and drawing of battleships is a very cumbersome task. Before the winning bid was confirmed, most of the design was just a frame, such as the artillery of the caliber, the speed, and the thickness of the armor, but it was more specific, such as It is impossible to say how high the steel plates of various thicknesses in the main armor belt are.
Historically, the basic framework of the Mochi-class battleship came out in May 1907. For example, the total tonnage is about 22,000 tons, the weapon is 10 11-inch guns, and the speed should be more than 24 knots. The defense should be slightly better than Von De Tann. Wait, but the actual design work was only completed in March 1908.
In other words, Wigner really doesn't know exactly what the armor height is, and then calculate it based on the budget and tonnage. If the margin is large, thicken it, and thinner if the margin is small. At least when the bidding started, no one stipulated the height of the various armors.
Therefore, the question of the prince caught him off guard, after all, before something was made, it was impossible to judge the performance! The prince asked this question so that he could not answer.
”These things require actual calculations. I can't answer you until the design is actually completed.” Wigenar said with a topping.
”So good, everyone, now the question is, what is the height of the so-called 270mm main armor belt? Is it 1.8 meters or 3.8 meters? If it is the former, then for this warship, it is medium Is the most likely to be bombarded with 270mm armor with only the belt width or 200mm armor with a large upper area?”
”Everyone knows technology, and you should know that, generally speaking, the side chord protection height of a battleship must be at least about 5 meters including the underwater part! I would like to know, with such a tonnage guaranteeing speed and firepower, what How much weight can be used for defense, and what is the distribution of the main armor belt.” The prince said.
