Chapter 2136 Differences
Veneto's confidence comes from the USS Kashi's aircraft carrier at the Academy of Justice, but Veneto didn't know that Gao Fatty, but he knew that although Gao Fatty didn't know how the completion rate of the USS Kashi's in history, Gao Fatty knew that at the end of World War II, a certain island country did not lack aircraft carriers. What they lacked were qualified pilots and qualified aircraft, and although he was not clear about how the completion rate of the USS Kashi's history was, Gao Fatty knew that Kashi's historically was definitely a very high-performing aircraft carrier, which was completely different from the situation of the empire.
Historically, the Empire had no plan to transform into an aircraft carrier. Italy had an aircraft carrier plan in World War II, but the aircraft carriers developed by Italy during World War II were basically transformed. These transformations were not warships but civilian ships, and these were not successful. Italy really developed aircraft carriers after the war. As a defeated country, Italy first revised the constitution so that the law would not become an obstacle to Italy's construction of aircraft carriers. Then Italy began its own path to developing aircraft carriers.
Italy felt very good when seeing the Invincible Class aircraft carrier built by Britain, it built the Garibaldi aircraft carrier, which is a light aircraft carrier of more than 10,000 tons, using a carrier-based aircraft such as AV8B, which takes off and lands vertically. Italy then began to develop a new aircraft carrier in the late 1990s. This is the USS Caful aircraft carrier. The USS Caful aircraft carrier is much larger than Garibaldi. It is an aircraft carrier of nearly 30,000 tons. The carrier-based aircraft planned to be used is F35B, and it is also an aircraft carrier with certain amphibious combat capabilities. These are all the two aircraft carriers developed by Italy until the Gao Fatty crossed.
During World War II, the Italian aircraft carrier plan did not really land and failed to see the results. The first Italian aircraft carrier was Garibaldi, but the Garibaldi aircraft carrier was impossible to appear in this world. Under normal circumstances, Garibaldi carried eight AV8B short-range take-off vertical landing aircraft and eight Neptune helicopters. This number could double when necessary.
In fact, Garibaldi is really not a very powerful aircraft carrier. This light aircraft carrier was created by Britain. Britain's national strength declined after World War II. After the new generation of fleet aircraft carriers were cut off, the Royal Navy Command once resigned collectively to protest, but in the end, the Navy Command rejected these resignations and left himself. Under the circumstance, the Royal Navy developed the Invincible Class aircraft carrier in the name of aircraft carrier cruisers. Among them, the ski jump takeoff deck was the creation of the Invincible Class aircraft carrier.
The Invincible Class aircraft carrier is a light aircraft carrier of 20,000 tons, which is a short-range take-off and vertical landing Sea Harrier fighter and Neptune helicopter. The Sea Harrier is a short-range take-off and vertical landing aircraft developed by the UK. The original intention of this aircraft is to be able to fight when the airport is destroyed. After the UK's successful development, the US Marine Corps bought some and improved it. The improved version of the US is the AV8B used by the Garibaldi aircraft carrier.
This kind of aircraft with short-range take-off and vertical landing has a big problem. The main problem is that this kind of aircraft can take off vertically, but in most cases, vertical take-off is performative in nature, because vertical take-off means that the aircraft plus the fuel and ammunition system carried by the aircraft and the pilot's own weight cannot be greater than the thrust of the aircraft engine. This restricts the combat effectiveness of this type of aircraft's vertical take-off is particularly limited, so in combat, this vertical ability more reflects landing rather than take-off.
In fact, both Sea Harrier and the improved version of AV8B rarely take off vertically. Not to mention these two types of aircraft, even if the F35B was later developed, they rarely carry out such vertical takeoffs. However, the emergence of this type of aircraft has indeed greatly reduced the threshold for aircraft carriers. The aircraft carriers using this type of aircraft are basically all-in-decked, because vertical landing does not require a complex blocking system.
However, this kind of aircraft sacrifices a lot for vertical landing, which makes this kind of aircraft not actually powerful in combat power. The so-called strength is more reflected in generation difference. Once there is no generation difference, the problem of aircraft will be exposed very clearly. After all, for vertical landing, it is much heavier than other aircraft. Heavier than the weight of other aircraft, for aircraft, it is a decrease in performance.
However, this is a relatively distant thing. There is no and no aircraft carrier like Garibaldi in this world. Lexington is because Lexington itself was an aircraft carrier that was served during World War II. Although it was in service in the 1990s, Lexington was a training aircraft carrier in the last years due to innate problems. Many carrier-based aircraft Lexington cannot be used, such as the famous F14 Tomcat fighter. The best fighter used by Lexington in this world is the F/A18 Bumblebee or the early Bumblebee. After all, according to the plan of the US Navy, the F/A18E/F Super Bumblebee will be served with the F35C. The Bumblebee in the later stage is a particularly excellent carrier-based aircraft.
Fatty Gao knew very well in the history of Italy, so Fatty Gao felt that the empire was absolutely impossible to become an aircraft carrier. As a battleship, it could be down. What would happen if it was an aircraft carrier? Gao didn't dare to think about it. Kashita was a member of the Yunlong-class aircraft carrier in history. There were a total of six Yunlong-class aircraft carriers. There were three ships in a certain island country, namely the first ship Yunlong-2 Ship Tiancheng and Kashita Kashita. Kashita was the unfinished ship No. 4, and it was also the unfinished aircraft carrier with the highest completion rate.
In history, the Kashima was an aircraft carrier that was about to be completed. This is something that the empire cannot compare with, and it is also the reason why Fatty Gao strongly opposed it. Venetto also knew this. Venetto's opinion was that the empire could grow. If the empire is not good now, it would not mean that the empire will not work in the future. Gao Fatty Gao has reservations about the fact that this is mainly because such an aircraft carrier is really not so excellent.
