Chapter 1682 The training ship in the light cruiser
Argentina is a light cruiser. The Argentina light cruiser in history was purchased from the UK by Argentina in the 1930s. The Argentina light cruiser is a light cruiser based on the British Linxian class light cruiser. Compared with the Linxian class light cruiser, there are some differences. One difference is that the main gun turret of the Argentina light cruiser is equipped with an experimental semi-automatic loading mechanism, which makes the Argentina fire faster than the Linxian class, and the other difference is very important.
The purpose of the construction of the USS Argentina light cruiser is to supplement the cancelled Admiral Brown-class heavy cruiser No. 3, and the other is to replace the USS Samienko training ship. This is also the main reason why the Argentina light cruiser Golden Light lasted for so long this time. The fire control system on the USS Argentina light cruiser has been adjusted to adapt to training. The other is that the power system of Argentina is not as strong as the Linxian class light cruiser, which makes the maximum speed of the USS Argentina light cruiser only thirty knots. Although it doesn't seem very slow, you should know that in history this was the 1930s. In this era, except for the two cruisers with more than 20 knots purchased and built by the motherland of Gao Fatty, the speed of other cruisers was more than thirty knots. In comparison, Argentina's thirty knots is really not fast, but the main task of Argentina is to train this point is different from other cruisers.
The Argentine light cruiser in history was classified as a training ship in the Argentine Navy. It was classified as a cruiser in the 1950s, but it still undertakes more training tasks. The Argentine light cruiser retired in the mid-1970s. It can be said that the Argentine light cruiser can be regarded as an armed training ship or a light cruiser that can be trained.
The effect that Argentina brought after revealing its characteristics was devastating. The number of training ships at the historical warship level in this world is very rare. The entire fair force is only glycine. Argentina looks like a light cruiser. If it weren't for her own statement, no one would know that Argentina had an identity as a training ship. The training ships at the historical warship level in this world are extremely important. This is why the golden light lasted for so long when the Argentina appeared.
Of course, although it is a natural SS-class historical warship, Argentina's strength is not strong. It is mainly because of its name. After all, it is named after the country of Argentina. It can be said that no one can tell whether Argentina is powerful or not, even Argentina itself cannot tell clearly, which requires subsequent discoveries and adjustments.
The news of Argentina's training ship has been a training ship for a long time in history. This news spread rapidly throughout the entire fair force like wings. This was an amazing discovery. Tirpitz also quickly learned it. However, even though he knew Tirpitz did not see how much Argentina looked like a training ship. After all, Argentina looked like an ordinary light cruiser girl and nothing special.
The curiosity brought by Argentina was too strong. The two historical warships were built in succession, Tirpitz did not look away from Argentina. The commander of the North Association was indeed very powerful. He built two historical warships in succession. The most important thing was that these two were light cruisers of the same class. These were the Leipzig-class light cruisers, and this was the last class light cruiser built by Germany. There were only these two of them in this class. The names of these two light cruisers were Leipzig and Nuremberg respectively.
Leipzig and Nuremberg Gao Fatman didn't pay much attention. He now focused all his attention on Ganarias and Argentina. This time, Gao Fatman basically did what he wanted. Gao Fatman built a lot of warships, but it was not so good every time. This time it was not so good. Gao Fatman was not very good when he was building Miss Dignity. At that time, he was not a qualified aircraft carrier commander at all. Later, he wanted to build a bodyguard for Miss Dignity, but he built a royal oak with a slow speed. Next, in order to solve the problem of fleet formation, Gao Fatman built a glorious result, which intensified the problem of formation. In order to prevent the further complicating the formation problem of the formation problem Gao Fatman continuously built the Hao and Colorado. The Hao is very good, but the appearance of Colorado made the Gao Fatman more complicated.
It was also an accident that Veneto was built. Although the appearance of Veneto brought quite good results, the subsequent problems with Brother Niu also made Fatty Gao a headache. Before this construction began, Fatty Gao hoped to build two light cruisers. The light cruiser in this world was called universal ships, because light cruisers are suitable for any task, but it was not very expensive. Although Fatty Gao hoped to build two light cruisers, he did not expect much from this. From the beginning of building Miss Dignity, he hoped to build a light cruiser. As a result, aircraft carriers and battleships were built one after another, but there was no light cruiser that Fatty Gao had always expected.
When Ganarias appeared, Fatty Gao was really happy. Although Ganarias was a heavy cruiser, it was still a cruiser after all. The disadvantage of the low cost-effectiveness of heavy cruisers is not a problem with Gao Fatty Gao. Fatty Gao is not lacking in conventional resources. The problem with the high consumption of heavy cruisers is not a problem with Gao Fatty Gao. It can be said that Ganarias can completely become the backbone of Miss Dignity and the guards of the glorious ship girl in the future. As the exclusive bodyguard of the two aircraft carriers, there is no problem.
The Argentina built later made Fatty Gao completely unexpected. He not only built a light cruiser but also a light cruiser that has been a training ship for a long time in history. Although he still doesn't know what Argentina is, it is definitely not weak. It is true that it comes from the modification of Linxian-class light cruiser design. Although it is a little slower, its main combat power has not been reduced. According to Argentina's own statement, her firing rate is higher than Linxian. In this regard, even if it is not a training ship, it is a very successful light cruiser.
