Chapter 2751 Differences in aircraft carrier power

Fatty Gao mentioned the reason why Moscow was not confident. In fact, many of the memories of the past few years were blurred. Fatty Gao can still remember so much now. On the one hand, he deliberately remembered the benefits after becoming a university. The memory of becoming a university commander will be greatly improved. In fact, in history, the service time of warships is like this. Not to mention the current situation of the current Fatty Gao, even Fatty Gao, who was not so clear, just knows the approximate time range. After becoming a university, you can remember it very clearly. So Fatty Gao knew a lot of the specific service time of warships. This was discovered unexpectedly when Gao was guiding Moscow.

However, as Fatty Gao said what he knew, Veneto was also silent. It was obvious that Veneto was also a little hit, because if it were based on the historical situation, Veneto had no power to fight back against those super aircraft carriers. Fortunately, this world is not in history. However, Moscow has appeared, no one can guarantee what the warships that appeared in history will be like in the current world. Therefore, Veneto felt that Moscow's lack of confidence is not desirable, but in such a situation, it is necessary to prepare for a backup plan. However, for Veneto, it is easier for her to prepare for a backup plan.

In fact, Fatty Gao just told Veneto that the Forrest-class aircraft carrier and the Midway-class aircraft carrier. What Moscow is not worried about Midway and Forrest, but Kitty Hawks and Nimitz, especially Nimitz. This world is not related to nuclear. If Nimitz appears in this world, there will be changes. Combined with his own special warhead, Moscow thinks that the most terrifying place in Hasnimitz this time is also a place where Moscow has no confidence, because Nimitz, as the first large-scale nuclear-powered aircraft carrier built by the United States during the Cold War, must have nuclear strike capabilities. Compared with Nimitz, Moscow knows that it is not possible.

If it was completely a historical situation, Moscow would not worry, because in history, she was not the core of the fleet, but only worked for ballistic missile nuclear submarines, but this world was not the historical situation. The special situation in this world forced Moscow to face this problem now. After seriously considering this, Moscow found that she would be beaten by Nimitz. Of course, she was beaten by Nimitz without any suspense in history. However, in history, her main task was anti-submarine, and air defense missions were undertaken by other warships. Even in sea surface fleets, Moscow was not the most prominent one. Both Kiev and the glorious class cruiser Kirov-class nuclear-powered cruiser that appeared later were much larger than Moscow. However, in history, this world was not like that. Without Kiev, no glory and no Kirov, Moscow felt his powerlessness.

In fact, this is the result of some problems with Moscow's perception of super aircraft carriers. In fact, what Moscow doesn't know is that it is relatively difficult to deal with the Kitty Hawks. Many of Moscow's perceptions are actually problematic.

The role of nuclear power and conventional power in submarines is decisive. Nuclear submarines and conventional submarines are completely different two weapons. Conventional submarines are not as good as nuclear submarines in all aspects. When encountering nuclear submarines, they will be beaten without any suspense and want to counterattack, and they can only rely on terrain to ambush. However, in the world of aircraft carriers, there is not that big difference between nuclear power and conventional power.

The biggest advantage of a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier is that the aircraft carrier itself has sufficient power to save the chimney system and thus save space to build smaller islands. However, the advantages of a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier are not as large as imagined. The aircraft carrier itself has infinite range, but the aircraft carrier has never gone to sea to fight alone. If the entire fleet has unlimited range, it must be a full nuclear fleet. If there is no full nuclear fleet, it is just an aircraft carrier itself. The advantage of this is actually very small. The real advantage of a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier is that it is sufficient power and has no chimney saving space. The island can be smaller and does not need to carry the fuel used by the aircraft carrier itself. However, there are also disadvantages of a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier.

The biggest disadvantage of nuclear-powered aircraft carriers is that their attendance rate is far inferior to that of conventional-powered aircraft carriers, and their emergency response capabilities are not as good as conventional-powered aircraft carriers. When maintaining the power system of nuclear-powered aircraft carriers, they can only go to sea to fight after they are fully completed. Conventional-powered aircraft carriers can temporarily go to sea to fight when necessary. According to the experience of the US Navy, the attendance rate of nuclear-powered aircraft carriers is not as good as that of conventional-powered aircraft carriers, because the carrier-based aircraft carried are the same, and the efficiency of carrier-based aircraft is similar. In fact, the combat effectiveness shown is similar to that of nuclear-powered aircraft carriers.

The conventional power and nuclear power of an aircraft carrier are different from the power system. The advantage of a nuclear reactor is that it does not require a chimney because nuclear reactions can be carried out all the time. However, the nuclear reactor and the protective cover have a weight of thousands of tons. The power system of a conventional aircraft carrier is just a boiler. Because some conventional power and nuclear power of the turbine are basically the same as nuclear power. The weight of a simple boiler is far less heavy than that of a nuclear reactor. In fact, the fuel weight saved by a nuclear power aircraft carrier is really not much. It can be said that in the world of aircraft carriers, nuclear power and conventional power have their own advantages and disadvantages. The key is to see how to choose.

Moscow didn't understand these things, she thought that the Kitty Hawk was not as strong as Nimitz, but in fact, the Kitty Hawk was not as strong as Nimitz, mainly because the Kitty Hawk-class aircraft carrier was retired earlier and the aircraft carrier spoke with carrier-based aircraft. Nimitz was naturally stronger than the Kitty Hawk because of the late retirement. Nimitz and Kitty Hawk were actually similar to the enemy. The advantages and disadvantages of nuclear power and conventional power are mainly for the use countries. There is no difference between them and they are very powerful.
