The Rise of the Empire

"In addition to the convenience of warming up, it is also of great significance in terms of damage to the pipe." Sims pointed to an unopened hangar next door and said: "Although the partition here cannot be opened, it is also very fragile. Once the bomb explodes, You can easily break the next wall and release the energy. How do you say? You can understand it as a pressure relief plate. We have done our best to prevent the hull structure from being damaged by the explosion."

　　 "This method of releasing energy through dredging is really good, but we still can't avoid fire or other damage caused by bombing. In this regard, how does the US Navy respond?" Earl Spey thought for a while and said.

"This question is very good, and dealing with these questions is the essence of the damage management system of our entire warship. Please follow me." After that, Sims took the German navy officers and soldiers forward for more than 30 meters, and then He motioned to the American officer nearby.

　　 More than ten seconds later, a large amount of water suddenly spurted out on the top and sides of the hangar. It turned out that the Americans had installed fire-proof sprinklers in some places of the hangar. As if it were raining, pools of foamy water soon accumulated on the hangar overtime.

　　 "Is this the fire extinguishing agent you prepared?" Earl Spey said with interest. This kind of internal firefighting equipment is not available on German battleships. Generally speaking, when a fire is on, the Germans either pump sea water directly with a water pump to extinguish it, or directly open the valve in some places to come to the Jinshan Temple... Simple and rude! The American fire sprinkler equipment is very interesting.

　　 "Yes, this is our fire extinguishing agent, but it's not surprising, most of the time it's just soapy water." Sims said somewhat proudly. "Well lads, quickly clean up the hangar deck again." Sims said to the American soldiers who were onlookers.

"Of course, the amount of extinguishing agent in these reserves is only a few dozen tons. It is enough to contain the fire, but in the face of the spread of the fire, we still use the water pump to pump seawater to extinguish the fire, and this involves One question, the supply and guarantee of electricity." Sims led Earl Spey and others out of the hangar and walked towards the cabin below.

"Thanks to the fact that this aircraft carrier does not need to be equipped with huge artillery and heavy armor, we have enough weight and space to arrange some things, such as motors. Our power generation is about 1.6 times the demand, and we have all The ship has 3 motor compartments in total, one of which is located below the waterline, which is difficult to destroy by bombs. As for torpedoes? It is estimated that blocking the British 400KG torpedoes is not a big problem. Therefore, our power supply facilities will not be affected by the British Everyone connects the pot. Even when it is attacked by at least 4 500-pound bombs, our warship can still guarantee the most basic lighting and fire-fighting power supply needs!"

"Of course, it is not enough to ensure the safety of the generator cabin. We also need to ensure the smooth flow of power supply lines. Therefore, we have gathered all the main wires in special pipes, and laid fireproof materials outside the pipes, and also arranged special People use foam fire extinguishers to ensure the safety of the power supply lines. Generally speaking, we have done the best in terms of electrical fire protection." Sims said confidently.

If Ruprecht is here, I would also like to give Sims a thumbs up. To be honest, the Americans’ talent for damage management is really too powerful. When the tactics and artillery skills are not good, damage management The design is pretty good! Do you really think that American damage control is over here? too young too simple! Because the aircraft carrier still has a potential danger point that has not been dealt with! That is aviation fuel!

　　 So, under the leadership of Sims, Earl Spey and others came to the aviation fuel depot almost close to the bottom of the ship! "This is our aviation fuel depot." As Sims pointed to the place, the first thing that caught his eye was a huge concrete roof, covering the entire fuel depot like a fortress!

　　 The highly volatile gasoline used in airplanes is different from marine heavy fuel oil. The latter is very difficult to ignite, so it can even be used to defend against torpedo attacks. But the former is different, let alone ignited, higher temperature will cause the volatilization of light fuel, and then form a terrible gaseous combustible sol! And at this time, if it explodes, it will be turned upside down! For example, the Japanese Navy's most advanced thoroughbred aircraft carrier in history, the Oho, died of an oil and gas explosion! The Americans have already thought of this at this time, and I have to say it is very powerful!

"There is actually only one main threat to the fuel tank, and that is the powerful torpedo. If you want to use bombs to penetrate the upper decks and the armor on the top of the tank, and then destroy the concrete layer, this is a bit too difficult. It is estimated that it will cost at least 500KG. The bombs can be used for large-angle dive bombing at a high altitude. British carrier-based aircraft have almost no such capability. So all that is left is torpedoes."

"Once a torpedo explodes, it may crack the fuel tank and cause the volatilization of aviation fuel, so ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ we have specially set up a concrete shield outside the tank to minimize the volatilization of the tank, and there is more mature ventilation around it. Equipment. Fire prevention treatment has been carried out. Through this series of measures, we have reduced the possibility of explosion of the entire oil depot to a minimum."

In the end, Sims did not forget to add: "Perhaps in your opinion, the US Navy is still very immature, but we can proudly say that our damage management system is definitely the best in the world! Our damage management system The players are also the best."

　　 "Well, it's pretty good, it looks really resistant." Earl Spey said in his heart, but to be honest, these efforts made by the Americans alone are indeed worthy of praise, so the Earl never spares his own words of praise. Do you want to say that the aircraft carrier Independence has not done well? There must be, after all, it is the first aircraft carrier, and the tonnage restrictions are quite severe. If you want to pick a mistake, you can definitely pick it out.

　　 For example, the aircraft carrier Independence did not adopt a layout in which the boiler warehouse and the engine room were alternately arranged, and the engine room was at risk of being overwhelmed. And because of the width of the hull, the width of the underwater defense system is not very strong. It is barely enough to defend against aviation torpedoes. If you encounter submarine-launched torpedoes or ship-borne torpedoes, please ask yourself. The thickness of the last lightning protection wall of the lower defense system is only 25mm, which is already very thin. Even though the front five-layer defense system absorbs most of the energy, the shrapnel may eventually penetrate the lightning protection wall and cause water ingress. Of course, all this can be attributed to weight limitations!
