As a landlocked country with no naval tradition, China cannot understand this desire to dominate the world, just as it cannot understand Bai Yu's desire. Don’t be dissatisfied, owning a ship, sailing to an unknown distance, or organizing a powerful fleet to guard the life of the Baiyou Trade, is it a strange feeling? Thousands of years of tradition with the face of the loess turned upside down will only be familiar to the concept of seeking a piece of land after exhausting one's body. A country that does not have the desire to wander at sea will not have a real navy, so what about the seventh-largest equipment in the world. The Beiyang Fleet took more than half of its troops to hide in its home port to defend its combined fleet, no matter its tonnage or firepower, until the home port was occupied. Li Hongzhang’s Pride Dingyuan didn’t even have time to sink and was dragged to Yokohama. The target ship. At sunset in 1945, the flagship of the combined fleet, the Yamato, took the few remaining destroyers of the combined fleet and launched a suicide assault against the U.S. forces in Okinawa. A few days later, when he returned to his home port, only the ever-unsinkable destroyer Yukikaze remained alone. (Ps, Xuefeng is really awesome. In 1940, it was launched into the water and survived the entire Pacific War. The shrapnel was not wiped, and the whole compensation was paid to Chiang Kai-shek as a souvenir. The director, in order to retaliate, the Xuefeng in the film The spacecraft made cannon fodder for the Yamato from the very beginning...)
They at least knew that the country could destroy the mountains and rivers, but the country could not destroy the warships.
Sadness returns to sadness. Historically, the Yamato was hailed as the most expensive waste in World War II. It was definitely not a waste of fame. From its launch in 1942 to its sinking in 1945, as the largest warship ever built in human history, her record was 0. Yes, she was also equipped with the 20 largest main guns in history. She had never sunk a warship. If the escort fleet's record was not counted, she might not even have shot down a single aircraft. On the contrary, as the flagship of the joint fleet all the year round, with luxurious interior decoration and abundant food storage, it was dubbed "Daiwa Hotel" by the military.
In addition to her own peace-loving traits, the Queen’s performance is mainly due to the fact that aircraft bombing is far ahead of artillery in terms of accuracy and range, making the aircraft carrier the absolute main force in naval battles. Other large and small bodies carry The gun ships are reduced to escort fleets. The main task of the escort fleet is not to hit the ship, but to hit the plane and catch the submarine. Such large-caliber artillery is useless except for cleaning a coast that is not protected by aircraft. Although the aircraft carrier was invented in Japan, and the aircraft carrier formation tactics were also invented in Japan, it is strange that Yamato Musashi’s giant 7w-ton scrap iron is still built one by one. Some people say that this strange strategy is because the Japanese are obsessed with the doctrine of "Cannon Giant Ship". I don't think it is. Otherwise, why would he be so interested in aircraft carriers? The fundamental reason is the difference in national strength and fighting methods. Aircraft carrier warfare is a war of attrition. No matter how high level the aircraft and pilots are, they will be consumed in one battle. Japan’s industrial capacity is only 1/50th of that of the United States, and it cannot consume aircraft. It can’t afford pilots even more. In contrast, battleships are a one-time investment, and the shells are worthless, and with Yamato’s 20 main guns, if they can hit other ships, one shot would be seconds away. (The design idea of the battleship is that the armor is so thick that it just can't be penetrated by its own main gun, and the Yamato-class battleship is the largest in history, which means that except for herself, her main gun can sink all water targets.)
This idea The first half is right. After Pearl Harbor, Japan has twice as many aircraft carriers at sea as the United States. In the subsequent naval battles, there will be losses regardless of victory or defeat. Japan has achieved zero superior performance and exercised on the Chinese battlefield. Excellent pilots can control the loss of both sides at around 1:2. However, the US aircraft carrier was mass-produced in a year by the end of 42. The US pilots are not inherently ill-fated, and they will gradually reduce the odds. came back. Although Japan is also working hard to build aircraft carriers and aircraft, and to transform heavy cruisers and large commercial ships into aircraft carriers, it can't keep up with death.
But the second half of this idea is a bit wishful thinking or not keeping up with the times. The main gun has a range of 50 kilometers. The combat radius of the new generation of aircraft in 40 years has exceeded 800 kilometers. The speed of battleships is less than 30 nautical miles. When the aircraft carrier is not moving, Dahe has to move forward at full speed for 13.5 hours without being spotted within the attack range of the aircraft carrier before it can reach her. If the intelligence is inaccurate, or if you are pursuing it, don't even think about it.
As the earliest users of aircraft carriers and aircraft, the Japanese could not have thought of this, but it should be because of the above cost considerations and the aircraft performance was not very good when the Yamato started construction, so they were unwilling to give up the artillery strategy. Their idea is to attack at night, no one can see me at night, sneak into the village, don't want to shoot. The Japanese army likes to attack on the one hand because of its usual gambler psychology, but the main thing is that it often has too much gap with the opponent's gambling cost. But the naval battle night attack is too difficult, and has never been successful. First of all, because the range of the aircraft has increased, so in the 12 hours of dark, the time it takes to approach the enemy fleet after dark and to take out the control area of the aircraft before dawn will leave very little time for attack. Less, not to mention that the sea is so big and the enemy is moving, it is not easy to find the enemy. Even if you haven't been spotted, and chanced to encounter a ship, the searchlights you are aiming at are all shining, will others not see you? Even if you weren't spotted before the gun was fired, and you hit a few shots earlier, it was not a nuclear bomb at the time. The sinking of the ship was at least an hour later, and the plane on the ship took off early for revenge. Even if the first launch hits the deck and cannot take off, do you think there is only one aircraft carrier in the aircraft carrier formation? Do you have no aircraft on the next island? Although you have been lucky enough to sink an aircraft carrier unscathed, you must have been spotted. There are countless planes waiting for you on the triumphant road. What? Do you want to use your half-meter thick cannon to sink all the aircraft carriers within a radius of 1,000km and level the left and right airports? Do you think you are Korean?
(Ps: The Korean national hero Yi Sun-sin relied on dozens of turtle ships to wipe out more than a hundred enemy ships led by the Nine Ghosts without damage.
Of course, there are other reasons that make it difficult for battleship formation raids to work, such as the big development of radar. So that the night fleet is no longer blind. Americans have strong intelligence capabilities and no chance of sneak attacks. Moreover, after the American aircraft carriers are mass-produced, they are simply rich and powerful. Throw them into the Pacific Ocean one by one, and you will either not come. , It happened to be here, brother looked everywhere but you still couldn't find it.
Therefore, there will be no man-made battleships anymore, and now they are all retired, and there are no battleships in the world.
However, in the hearts of ordinary Japanese people, heroes are not judged by success or failure, and the Yamato is the eternal pride of the empire. Isn’t it great just to be the world’s largest warship? She is not ashamed of her builder. She has never lost to any warship, or that no ship in history dared to challenge her. It can be said that she did not lose to the aircraft carrier (the ship itself did not Combat effectiveness), but lost to an aircraft that was so small that it was less than one ten thousandth of her weight. Coupled with the plot of her last suicide attack and the fall of the empire, isn't it enough to be heroic?
This movie is her elegy, and it also makes up for the less glorious side, making her a powerful firepower, rushing to the unknown territory alone for the future of mankind, and killing countless enemies (the enemies are some poor alien aircraft carriers) , The hero who finally sacrificed himself to save the earth.
Finally, let’s take a look at how the battleship (gunboat) defeated the aircraft carrier this time with a technical analysis. First of all, the Yamato’s guns became beam cannons, that is, the kind that ignores the powerful range of a cannon to a fleet per second. With this clear screen map cannon, there is no problem in attacking. Then if it is ambushed, it will be in all directions. What should I do if there is a small plane and a small missile flying over? The Yamato had a space jump this time, that is to say, it ran into a different dimension space after a single cannon swish, which is really more wretched than the flow of ballistas dropped in the dark night sky.
If those two points can really be achieved one day (the whole regiment in one shot and faster than a small plane), then the era of the "big cannon ship" will reappear, and the name of Yamato will surely reappear and continue to write the pride of Japan.
