Chapter 1472 steam catapult

Lexington's huge advantage is her oblique flight deck, which is the biggest difference in Lexington in this world. It can be said that so far, there is only such an aircraft carrier in this world that has an oblique angle deck. The advantage of this deck is very obvious. Gao Fatty has seen it in many previous battles, but due to the different situations, this time Gao Fatty really saw the huge advantage of this flight deck. It can be said that Gao Fatty thinks this is the reason why Lexington has the most strength in the world. Mrs. Lex does not have to be much worse in other aspects, but this flight deck is short of combat power.

The existence of the oblique flight deck allows Lexington to support the fleet here when supporting the four Iowa sisters. The fleet organized by other aircraft carriers is one large wave. The carrier-based aircraft organized by Lexington all have eight carrier-based aircrafts per wave. There are many reasons here. In fact, due to time issues and other reasons, Lexington supports the four Iowa sisters in front of him. Lexington’s main combat power is placed in the fleet here, while the other Mrs. Lex and the glorious ship girl who followed her to support the four Iowa sisters cannot do this.

In fact, Lexington's battle is quite different from other aircraft carriers. Lexington's carrier-based aircraft cannot take off without catapults. Due to the catapult problem, Lexington has always been in the process of accelerating and deceleration during combat. Therefore, cooperating with Lexington's battle is a relatively complex task. Even the battleships that follow Lexington's battle are fixed in the glory forces. This time, Lexington came by himself because of the rush, which gave many requirements for the fair force warships responsible for guarding Lexington. It seems that the fair force's escort work is not very good at the moment.

The catapult used by Lexington is a steam catapult. Before Gao Fatty crossed, the main use of this steam catapult was the US aircraft carrier. The electromagnetic catapult has not been completely solved. Although this steam catapult is much stronger than those catapult predecessors, it also has many huge problems.

Steam catapults require massive amounts of steam, which are provided by the power system, which brings a problem. Because the aircraft carrier's own power is steam power, the steam catapult that uses massive steam will inevitably affect the speed of the aircraft carrier. In the world before the Gao Fatty crossed, the speed of the US Nimitz-class aircraft carrier will drop from thirty knots to twenty knots after the catapult of eight carrier-based aircraft, and if the twelve carrier-based aircraft speeds will drop below twenty knots. When the aircraft carrier's speed drops to a certain extent, it will affect the deck wind provided, which makes the takeoff of the carrier-based aircraft not so easy and affects its own combat effectiveness. If the number of carrier-based aircraft ejected at one time makes the aircraft carrier's own speed slow and easily attacked by the enemy. Therefore, in general, the US military will eject eight carrier-based aircraft at one time, and in an emergency, it will eject twelve carrier-based aircraft to ensure the speed of the aircraft carrier.

In the world before Fatty Gao traveled through, there were negative examples of steam catapults. The French aircraft carrier Charles de Gaulle is the biggest negative example. Although it uses nuclear power, the reactor used by only two nuclear submarines makes the power of Charles de Gaulle seriously insufficient. It is very doubtful that Charles de Gaulle can eject several gusts in one attack. It can be said that using steam catapults with insufficient powertrain is a disaster.

It can be said that Lexington, which uses steam catapult, has this problem. However, historically, it is an American aircraft carrier that has not made Lexington insufficient power. However, since the world's aircraft carrier itself is more important, other aircraft carriers will not slow down in combat and accommodate Lexington. This raises a big problem for the formation. However, the advantages of carrier-based aircraft of steam catapult are extremely huge. Steam catapult can make Lexington's carrier-based aircraft have a longer combat distance and can carry more ammunition. You must know that Lexington's carrier-based aircraft can accurately strike. It is foreseeable how terrible Lexington's carrier-based aircraft with high ammunition load is. It can be said that although Lexington is not easy to serve, it is impossible to say that it is powerful. Although this battle has problems caused by its own poor cooperation, it is really not worth mentioning.

When I saw Fatty Gao in Lexington, I thought of Miss Dignity. The Glorious Ship Girl could not use a jet and could not have such a steam catapult. But Miss Dignity is different. You should know that the one who invented the steam catapult in history was Britain. Miss Dignity had a steam catapult in history. Miss Dignity in history was the first aircraft carrier obtained by Fatty Gao's motherland, and it was also an aircraft carrier that completely retained the steam catapult. In other words, if nothing unexpected happens in the future, Miss Dignity is also an aircraft carrier that uses a steam catapult with an oblique flight deck. However, Miss Dignity has not even shown any sign of going in this regard after so many years.

With the support of Lexington, the fleet looks pretty good, because Lexington's precise strike is extraordinary. Many of the precise guided bombs used by Lexington are ground-based bombs. These bombs have historically been used to deal with permanent reinforced concrete buildings built below the ground. Such bombs are quite expensive and have good results. In this world, this is Lexington's strongest attack method. Not to mention these monsters and the Queen, who are recognized as the best in the world, some of them cannot cope with Lexington's attack level. These non-sea monsters are not super emperor monsters and don't even think about it.
