Chapter 1994: Scharnhorst's mission

In the history of the post-treaty era, only Germany built new battleships. In addition to the five countries that signed the Washington Naval Treaty, only Germany built new battleships. These six countries built a total of 26 capital ships, including the United Kingdom in the treaty era. The four French-built battleships are 30 battleships. The 30 Nelson-class battleships that China and Britain were allowed to build under the Washington Naval Treaty were designed and built in the 1920s. The design was derived from the N3 battleship in the late World War I. The other battleships are clearly different.
Among the remaining battleships, the United States built ten battleships of three classes, all of which were 16-inch main gun battleships. In the post-Washington Naval Treaty era, the United States built the most. The United Kingdom built five ships of one class, and France counts the treaty era construction. The Dunkirk-class battleship is four ships in two classes. Among them, Jean Barr was completed after the war, Germany built four ships in two classes, Italy completed three ships in one class, and an island nation completed two ships in one class. The scale of construction in the previous Dreadnought era was very different.
Before the First World War, the enthusiasm of various countries to build dreadnoughts was very high. Although there were not many countries that could build dreadnoughts, many countries with relatively good economies bought a lot. Among them, the top three in South America and Turkey are very typical. Generally speaking, the number of capital ships built before the First World War, including during the First World War, was much larger than that built after the Washington Naval Treaty.
This leads to the problem that this world historical battleship-level battleship was mainly built before and during the First World War. There were not many battleships in the post-Washington Naval Treaty era. Of course, the number of historical battleship-level battleships in general is not Many of these are very important reasons. Among the battleships in this world, historical battleships are not very different from ordinary battleships. The main reason is the huge gap in numbers. Among them, the historical battleship-level fast battleships with many problems are not taken seriously. It's normal.
In the post-treaty era of the world, ten battleships of the three classes built in the history of the United States did not appear except for the four sisters of Iowa. The five battleships built by the British in the post-treaty era only appeared the Howe. In French history The four battleships built have all appeared. Not to mention, there is one more Clemenceau. The three Venetos of Italy have also appeared. The four battleships of the two classes in Germany have appeared except Bismarck. An island nation Among the two battleships, Yamato appeared and Musashi did not appear. Many of these battleships were SSS-class historical battleships. These SSS-class historical battleships lack effective persuasiveness, which is a terrible problem.
However, this is not a problem for the justice forces, because many historical battleships and commanders of the justice forces know that there are many fast battleships in history, and even many slow battleships have not appeared. In the history of the United States, the construction of a battleship began in Nevada. Standard battleships of Poland, these standard battleships are not many now. Pennsylvania-class and Tennessee-class ships have not appeared. Before Nevada, only the Wyoming-class battleships have appeared. Others have not appeared. This is only the United States. The situation in the United Kingdom is similar. You must know that during and before the First World War the most battleships were built by the United Kingdom, and there are not so many British historical battleships in this world that the glory forces did not recognize Hood at the beginning. .
As the veritable second navy of World War I, the German navy battleships are not so many in this world, and other countries are similar, but there is a problem that the number of these battleships in history cannot be said to be small, but it is definitely not a lot. , But these numbers are very rare in this world. The number of ordinary battleships in this world is much more than these historical battleship-level battleships. The effect of battleships is firepower. In the face of absolute numbers, unless it is Li The three Sisters of Seriu, the Three Sisters of Veneto, or the Two Sisters of Fusang Mountain City and the Two Sisters of Wyoming, such as the two sisters of historical warships with special capabilities, can have a sense of existence.
This is what makes this world very different. Other ship types in this world do not have this problem. The gap between historical warships of other ship types and ordinary warships is very large. A very important task of heavy cruisers in this world is air defense. Because the hull is relatively large, there are more anti-aircraft guns that can be installed, so an important task of the world's heavy cruisers is air defense. Of course, striking targets is also an important task for heavy cruisers. Historical battleships can accomplish both aspects of ordinary heavy cruisers, but not especially. Support the above for the target.
Heavy cruisers often need to support the avant-garde fleet in battle. The accuracy of the heavy cruisers requires a high level of grasp of the battlefield situation and execution. This is a good point for historical battleship-level heavy cruisers, but because of the number of historical battleship-level heavy cruisers Relatively few, so in the three major forces, historical battleship-level heavy cruisers are used as the backbone of heavy cruisers~EbookFREE.me~ This is different from capital ships.
This is especially true for light cruisers and destroyers. In the avant-garde fleet, the combat effectiveness of historical battleship-level light cruisers and destroyers is very different from that of ordinary battleship-level light cruiser destroyers. This is especially true for aircraft carriers. In contrast, battleships are worse. Many, because ordinary battleships can also perform very well in focusing on fire, the advantages of other ship types cannot be brought into play, and battleships often cover shooting. Although there are requirements for accuracy, they are not as high as heavy cruisers.
Although historical battleship-class battleships are not as high as historical battleships of other ship types, historical battleship-class battleships are also quite possible. These battleships are basically used as the backbone of the battleship fleet. The advantage of high-precision shields for attack targets is similar to the use of the three major forces on capital ships.
After the initial research, Scharnhorst decided to start with the iron-blooded fast capital fleet. It is not news that the iron-blooded fast capital fleet is not strong. Scharnhorst decides that he and Gneisen will be picked up in the future. It is enough for Nao to dominate the fast battleship fleet of the iron-blooded forces. The four Iowa sisters basically do not participate in the fast battleship fleet. The task of the fast battleship fleet is still very important. Scharnhorst decided to take this responsibility by himself. With this idea, Scharnhorst started his own operations. Scharnhorst’s ability to train commanders can be special. Before the sinking, Scharnhorst’s big task was to train commanders. Now Scharnhorst The commander hasn't been fully recovered and trained, but there are good things to do in advance.
