Chapter 2376: Battleship to aircraft carrier

Qin Guan was so arrogant, there is actually a precedent.
In the old days, for all navies, they liked huge ships and artillery, and the Eagle State Navy was no exception. Their new battleship was planned to be named after the "Lexington" with a gross tonnage of 40,000. Ton.
At that time, the people of the island nation were anxious. The people of the island nation had long coveted the peaceful ocean, and they did not want to see the Eagle nation build super warships to threaten them. Their plan was very good. Let others make it.
Of course, this is not a wishful thinking. After all, in this era, everyone builds together, you build one, I build two, you build 30,000 tons, and I build 40,000 tons. If this goes on, then don’t do anything else. Now that all warships are built, this is a military competition.
This will severely drag down one's own economy. In order not to fall behind, you have to grit your teeth, so that your own country's economy will also be ruined. You must know that a battleship with tens of thousands of tons may be a country's steel output for several years. of.
So, everyone sits down and talks about it. You build a few, and I build a few, so that everyone is in balance, and no one will break this balance, and there will be nothing wrong with each other, so as to maintain a short-term peace.
With this purpose, the island nations negotiated with the Eagle nations. They really succeeded in the talks and signed a "Washington Disarmament Agreement." The islanders actually allowed the Eagles to give in, not only to reduce the total tonnage of the ship, but also to change the "Lexington" and "Saratoga" under construction as battleships to aircraft carriers of about three tons.
In that era, no one thought that aircraft carriers would dominate the world battlefield. In their eyes, aircraft carriers, such a weakly offensive weapon, did not seem to be a big threat.
Of course, the islanders did the same, changing the battleship "Akagi" and the battleship "Kaga" under construction to aircraft carriers.
After the agreement was reached, Eagle Country’s engineers were all swearing because they had no technical reserves of aircraft carriers. After all, after 20 years, the aircraft was still a new thing. It is necessary to overcome various problems to carry aircraft on aircraft carriers. Kind of problem.
At that time, many engineers joined in and solved many problems, such as the command of the pilot's take-off and landing, the deployment of night lighting decks, various guidance methods, and so on.
However, on the whole, the last Lexington was considered a success. Of course, it was also related to the conditions at the time. The propeller aircraft at the time required simple take-off and landing conditions. They just moved all the upper layers of the battleship. All the buildings are removed and turned into a straight deck. That's enough. The rest is to explore by yourself. The space below is used to store carrier aircraft and the like.
But now? A modern aircraft carrier has its own set of special knowledge. The equipment of side lifts, the arrangement of the right side ship island, the operation of the angled deck, and even the dispatching of the aircraft on the deck are all very complicated knowledge, Han Chinese Want to simply drag a battleship back, thinking that it can be transformed into an aircraft carrier?
Of course this is impossible! This is simply daydreaming!
However, Pellehake did not directly refuse, because he knew that this was a rare opportunity.
That's right, after this explosion, it is estimated that it will be difficult for the battleship to serve again, right? The navy originally criticized battleships, such backward weapons, but those battleships were too large and abandoned, but unfortunately, since Han wanted it, the navy dismantled those turrets and sold them to Han for modification. It also seems to be a good idea.
Of course, there will be some twists and turns in the process, but as long as the Han people are willing to give money, the smoothing of the relationship can still be guaranteed, and the Grumman company is also very rich. For Grumman company, it is absolutely impossible. If the project of carrier-based aircraft is lost, the main business of their company's development is the navy's carrier-based aircraft!
"Okay, I'm willing to do this for you." Pellehak said.
Qin nodded in view: "If you have any needs, you can go to our office there, and Lisa will provide the necessary help."
In the past few years, Lisa has been in Eagle Country and has done very well. Now the Yun-10 passenger plane has been flying over the world. This is inseparable from Lisa’s efforts. The original Douglas company has also successfully reversed In view of the situation, Lisa is a strong woman in business, which is recognized all over the world.
In this mission, Lisa can help. As for the funds needed, it will be used again through the weapon graveyard. Qin Guan had already made plans.
After Pelehak had left, other talents gathered around.
"President Qin, what do we want that stuff?"
"Can that battleship really be transformed into an aircraft carrier?"
"Don't say anything, President Qin must have a deep meaning." Everyone said to me, these senior navy officers are all waiting for Qin Guan's answer.
"This opportunity is rare. Since we have this opportunity, of course we have to use it." Qin Guan said, "It is impossible to use this battleship to transform into a combat aircraft carrier, but if it is simple The ground is decked for naval takeoff and landing training. As a navy training ship, the problem shouldn't be a big problem, right?"
At present, the navy can only simulate on a land platform, even if there are thousands of hydraulic cylinders on it to simulate the sway of the hull, after all, it is also on land. Unlike the sea, it is similar to the Eagle State Navy, which has decades of history. With a long history of aircraft carrier operation, they have formed a complete pilot training system, but the country is different, and there is nothing in the country. Therefore, for the domestic navy, if there is an aircraft carrier training ship, it is very important.
Don’t worry about it, everything remains the same, just dismantle the superstructure and install the take-off and landing deck for the take-off and landing training of the carrier aircraft. The positioning is originally the aircraft carrier training ship. If this is the case, it can be greatly simplified. Said that this is completely fine.
"President Qin, your thinking is really clear. As long as the price is not too outrageous, we are completely acceptable to ourselves. In this way, we can train at sea and train a large number of carrier-based pilots, but we look forward to real The aircraft carrier."
Hearing this sentence, Qin nodded his opinion: "A popular sentence is the century-old navy. Our navy has developed very well now. As long as we unswervingly go on, everything will be there. Now, at least first. I have an aircraft carrier training ship, don’t I?"
