Chapter 2370: Sabotage

Daxiyang, the wind and waves here are a bit big, a warship with a displacement of several thousand tons, in this kind of sea water, it will definitely bump up and down, but at this time a huge ship on the sea is as stable as Mount Tai.
The shape of this battleship is very different from the current battleship. Its appearance looks longer, and the overall shape is more slender. Of course, this slenderness is relative to itself. If you compare it with a destroyer next to it, you can see how huge it is. Standing on its deck, you can overlook the destroyer's bridge!
The entire warship appears slender because of its aspect ratio. The width of the warship is limited to 33 meters. This is a compromise for passing through the canal. At the same time, the length and draft of the warship are increased. The ship’s length-to-width ratio reaches 8.2. Such a slender warship can increase the speed, but it affects the airworthiness, maneuverability and gunfire hit rate.
That's right, the artillery fire hit rate, look at the superstructure of this warship, you know, it is an out-and-out battleship! In front of it, there are two majestic turrets, a triple-mounted turret, and six barrels that are extremely thick and sturdy. This is a 406 mm heavy gun, a super cannon left over from that era!
In addition to the two turrets in the front, there is also one in the back. At this time, above the warship, the flag of the Eagle State Navy was flying high, blasting fiercely in the sea breeze of Daxi Ocean.
This battleship is the super battleship left over by Eagle Nation from that era, the Iowa class, and the first battleship Iowa is in front of us. Its displacement is close to 60,000 tons, second only to modern aircraft carriers. And its armor thickness, etc., far exceed that of the aircraft carrier. It can be said that it is a giant at sea, and it is very difficult to threaten this super warship.
However, the era of thick armored artillery has passed. In modern maritime battlefields, the heavy artillery of battleships cannot directly attack the enemy’s aircraft carrier formation hundreds of kilometers away, but the supersonic heavy anti-ship missiles will cause damage to it. Therefore, this kind of warship is not suitable for modern warfare, and the cost is huge. After the war, it was sealed up several times.
Later in the late 1970s, as the bear country continued to grow stronger, the Eagle country gradually paid attention to it. After the actor and president came to power, he proposed the "600-ship navy" plan to expand the navy on a large scale.
This plan is the same as his Star Wars plan. It must have a flickering element. However, the Navy is still quite happy and has begun rapid expansion. After all, building warships is not a matter of a day or two. The Navy has passed. Researched and decided to return to active service again after large-scale modernization and modification of four of his sealed Iowa-class ships.
This kind of modification took a long time, and the cost was high. The modification cost of each ship reached three or four billion eagle yuan. You know, the construction cost of the Kitty Hawk aircraft carrier is only 400 million eagle yuan.
However, the modification is still effective. According to the development of modern weapons, the focus of this warship modification is to strengthen the ground-to-ship attack capability, enhance the anti-submarine air defense capability, improve the modernization level of communication and electronic equipment, and improve the living conditions of the crew. Wait.
For example, after modification, this battleship can also carry Tomahawk missiles for ground attack. However, for a battleship, its old line is the shooting of naval guns. This 406 mm ship A cannon or a cannonball weighs more than a ton. After being smashed, it will explode a pit the size of a basketball court, destroying a village with a single shot, which is definitely not scaring people.
This type of heavy artillery is also quite good for attacking enemy positions on the shore. Especially, in the recent naval battle, the 203 mm naval guns of the destroyers of Han successfully realized their own value. The cannon shells were used to stop the monkey navy’s actions and successfully captured the monkey’s battleship. This incident has spread throughout the world. The foreigners on the scientific research ship have already said these things in a long time. out.
They are only 203 mm naval guns. To say that the Big Mac among naval guns should be the current 406 mm naval guns. When confronting them at sea, blasting them with a gun will definitely make them scared!
The Eagle Nation's navy has long been in high spirits, and of course they will not miss this good opportunity. Now, they are going to conduct a naval gun test.
"Turret No. 2, get ready!"
"The propellant pack has been filled."
The launch of this super cannon is quite spectacular. At the same time, all parts of the super cannon are all in one word, big!
The artillery shells are packed separately, and the warheads are more than one ton, and the propellant is also packed in packs. Each gun must be packed in six propellant packs, weighing more than 300 kilograms. At the same time, if you are shooting a close-range target, you can also reduce the amount of propellant, which is determined by the gunner.
Now, the launch is ready.
"The artillery fires the radar, gives the target data, and the fire control system solves it."
In the past, shooting at sea was based on the experience of the gunner. First launch a shell, test it, check the distance, adjust a few times, it is almost done, and you can fire together. But now, the technology is In the continuous development, they have already had advanced artillery-launched radar, and it is logical to install it on Iowa, and the accuracy of hits is higher.
"The target has been bound."
"Attention, prepare to launch."
Hearing this order, everyone in the turret was a little nervous. After all, this warship was tested for the first time after it entered service. Yes, it was the first time!
This shocking scene of the World War II era is about to begin. Many of them know how beautiful it is. When shooting, the fireball formed at the muzzle will have a diameter of tens of meters. The thick smoke of the muzzle will The entire warship was covered, and the shooting of this heavy artillery with the largest caliber in existence of mankind was exciting.
At this time, a Hubi drone has also flown from the warship, ready to record the moment of fire. If the navy's strength is concerned, the Eagle Country is the first!
"Fire!" The gun commander finally gave the order.
At the moment he gave the order, the electric current passed into the barrel of the gun, and the propellant bag inside was ignited, and then, from the position of the gun door, a fiery flame poured out!
No, the tailgate of the No. 5 gun is not closed! They actually committed such an unforgivable mistake!
"Boom!" The explosion, the landslides, the howls of ghosts and wolves, were a hundred times more shocking than the roar of a naval gun! The drone in the sky recorded this spectacular scene. I saw the rotating part of the turret weighing 1,730 tons, and the place where it was in contact with the deck, there was a fiery flame, and then the entire turret came off below. The pedestal flew into the sky close to a meter high, and then fell down and hit it heavily!
The battleship Iowa, the ammunition exploded when the No. 2 turret was tested!
