May I ask the information of the old Japanese navy main gun battleship 16 inch or more?

Long gate stage

There are two ships in Nagato, namely Nagato and Luao.

Nagato Hao

eldest branch of a family

The battleship Changmen is the No.1 ship in the 88th Fleet Plan originally planned by the Japanese Navy. After the First World War, countries competed to build giant battleships, thinking that giant battleships with super protection and super firepower should be built and sunk.

Enemy warships. The peak of the giant naval gun theory was just before the Washington naval reduction conference. All countries plan to build various types of giant battleships, while Japan plans to build eight warships and eight cruise ships. This is August 8.

Fleet, but the Washington conference limited the number of capital ships in various countries. If countries continue to compete, World War II may become the world of giant ship artillery. This 88 fleet also has the name of the ship.

There are: Nagato, Lu Ao, Kaga, Tosa, Tiancheng, Chicheng, Kaohsiung, Aidang, Jiyi, Zhangwei, Hejun and Jinjiang.

The Changmen is the first warship in the world with a main gun of 40 cm (16 inch).

The speed reached 26.5 knots, but the Japanese navy concealed the speed of 23 knots when it was made public. At that time, probably no one would believe that such a large warship could reach 26.5 knots. (remember

Dechang Gate completed in 1920s). At that time, the main guns of warships in various countries, including Germany, Britain, the United States and even Japan, all had a caliber of 36 cm and a speed of less than 25 knots, while Nagato.

It was the largest and strongest warship in the world at that time, the spiritual symbol of the Japanese navy and the totem of national worship. Compared with the world's largest Yamato, the Changmen is not comparable at all, but it is well known to the people because of the Yamato.

The construction and even launching of American warships are carried out in very confidential circumstances, and ordinary citizens simply don't know. On the contrary, the long gate number of warships is deeply worshipped by the citizens and has the spiritual symbol of guarding the country.

Deeply trusted by the people, "Nagato is the strongest warship in the world!"

Changmenhao began her modernization in the past two years from April of Showa 9, and it was not completed until the eleventh year of Showa. In the process of modernization, the arc chimney of Nagato Trench was finally cancelled and the second chimney was replaced.

Respond boldly. In addition, the length and width of the hull have been increased, and high-angle guns and air-to-air machine guns have been installed to enhance the air defense capability. The old Japanese warships have not considered the launch of seaplanes.

Because it was too early, the seaplane catapult and deck were added in the modernization of Nagato. We can see that the King Kong seaplane catapult is installed between the third and fourth turrets, which will inevitably affect the third turret.

Shooting has little effect, because it is an ocean-going warship, so there is more space on board the King Kong class. In contrast, within the same length, the warship Fusang, which has six turrets, has no place to arrange seaplanes at all.

Ejection system, so Fusang can only stand on the third turret, which is inconvenient for both the turret and the plane. Later, Yi Shi and Sunward installed catapults in the stern, but the stern space was narrow.

Limited, will affect the role of the fifth and sixth turrets. However, since Nagato is only equipped with four even turrets, the catapult will be installed between the rear axle and the third turret, so there will be no such problem. As a result, Nagato grew up.

The gate number became a 40,000-ton warship. At the beginning of the Pacific War, Nagato, as the flagship of the joint fleet, was also the ship of General Isoroku Yamamoto, and was moored at Zhudao berth near Jiangtian Island until the 17th year of Showa.

On February 12, the flagship throne was ceded to Yamato. In the Midway naval battle, Nagato was one of the main forces personally led by Yamamoto. After the defeat, it was merged into the second place with the sister ship "Lu' ao".

Team, in August of the same year, entered Turuk Island and took part in the operation in the waters near Solomon. However, it was not until the Mariana naval battle in Showa 19 and the Reyitai naval battle in 10 that Nagato Haocai was with Yamato Musashi.

The commander was Lieutenant General Kenan Kurita, who was assigned to the first team of the Second Fleet and participated in the shelling of the US aircraft carrier group in the Battle of Reyitai.

The world's largest ships "Yamato" and "Musashi" were built in extreme secrecy. People don't know these two super warships at all, but, on the contrary, the long gate number is a symbol of the Japanese navy.

It is quite famous. However, all three giant ships participated in the last big battle of the Japanese navy-the Battle of Reytai. Most of the time during the war, these three large warships were moored in the rear area. After all, they were already on the plane.

In the era of Torah! Tora. Tora.

"(tiger! Tiger! Tiger! ) and disappeared in history. The two big warships, the Changmen and the Yamato, which are proud of their powerful firepower, fired for the first time in the big naval battle of Leyte Bay, and it was a matter of success or failure. It's really embarrassing.

Changmenhao later returned to Yokosuka Port. On July 18th, the 20th year of Showa, Nagato was attacked by US carrier aircraft, and the final battle was greeted in a broken state.

When it was built, it was the first ship of the hopeful August 8th Fleet. Later, the August 8th Fleet was terminated, and Changmen and Lu Ao became the only completed ships of the August 8th Fleet. In the Pacific War, as a member of the giant ship artillery, they could only

Take a back seat and watch the current ships sink one by one, but you can only drag out an ignoble existence. Therefore, the Changmen became the only remaining warship of the Japanese Navy after the Pacific War. However, a more tragic fate awaits him, Showa.

On July 200 1 year/day, Changmen became the original explosion experimental ship of the US military in Bikini Atoll. Being born as a warship, it is really tragic to fight against the diabolical weapon, the atomic bomb. July 25th is the second Nagato.

It took five days after the second test explosion to sink to the bottom of the sea.

The completion of the battleship "Green Olympics" was about one year after the completion of the "Nagato", but it just happened to catch up with the Washington Naval Disarmament Conference, which was really unlucky. This is the disarmament plan put forward by Britain, when all countries were competing with each other.

Fighting for naval strength, like Japan's August 8 th Fleet Plan, the United States is also planning to build more capital ships, which will only lead to a vicious circle, which is likely to further lead to conflicts and uncontrollable wars.

Washington limited the number of capital ships of Japan, the United States and Britain at the naval downsizing meeting, so many old Japanese warships or newly built ships of the 88th Fleet suffered a sad fate. The former is like the warship Xiang, the deer.

Island, Satsuma, Anyi, Shejin, Ikoma, Spring, pommel horse, etc. , have been disintegrated, while the latter, like the newly built warship Kaga, was changed into an aircraft carrier and took the unfinished Tosa.

As a target ship, the second ship of the long gate class, the Luao, has almost become a scrap ship.

The problem of reducing military strength-Luo was originally on the list of abandoned ships proposed by the United States, and this is the problem. The military reduction conference lasted from November of the tenth year of Taisho to February 6 of the following year, but Luo's completion date was

It was124, a few days before the meeting, so the Japanese side replied that "this ship is a completed ship", but Britain and the United States still refused to admit it and decided to abolish this 40 cm main gun warship. For this reason, it is really annoying.

Negotiators' brains, but, to be honest, the Luao is a newly completed warship. How can it be abandoned? Therefore, Kato Tomosaburo, the plenipotentiary of the Secretary of the Navy, made up his mind to let the warship "Lu Ao" die.

Rebirth, because if Lu Ao is cancelled, then the Japanese will only have the trombone number of a 40cm main gun warship. There are also rumors that this is because Lu Ao's name "Mu-Tsu" is equivalent to the Japanese pronunciation of "Mu".

Word, this is the first word in the name of His Majesty Taisho-Mu Ren, of course, as a joke. As a result, due to many compromises with Britain and the United States, similar British and American warships were resurrected, and the Japanese side

In the end, Japan saved the Ro, and the original 40cm British main gun battleship Nelson and the American battleships Colorado and West Virginia will be built one after another.

Like the Nagato, the warship Lu Ao, which saved her life through hard work, underwent large-scale modernization in Showa from nine to eleven years. Strengthened air defense equipment, increased length and width, and increased seaplane ejection equipment.

In addition, the first bent chimney was removed and replaced by a thicker chimney. "Lu Ao" and "Nagato" are symbols of the Japanese navy, which are deeply loved and trusted by the people. They are the largest and most powerful warships of our time.

It has given the people the confidence and security that Japan will never be attacked by other countries. For Nagato, Lu Ao is more popular and has the title of "national favorite warship".

Tragedy happened. At noon on June 8, Showa 18 12 10, white smoke suddenly appeared near the third turret of the Luo left in Zhudao. Then there was a loud explosion, the ammunition depot exploded, and Luo's huge body.

Sink into the sea. At this time, there were 1470 crew members on board, of whom only 353 survived. In order to investigate the explosion, an investigation Committee was set up, but Luo's big explosion is still a mystery.

The Green Olympics, which suffered a bumpy fate from birth, was so miserable even on the last day. The life of "Green Olympics" was indeed full of misfortunes, but compared with its brother, Nagato, who survived to the end of the war, it was used as the original explosion test ship.

I really don't know which fate is more pitiful.

Origin of ship name: Because it is a warship, it is named after an ancient country. The so-called land refers to the area covered by the four counties of Fukushima, Miyagi, Iwate and Aomori. It is famous for its three generations: Ozu Fujiwara in the Yuan Ping era, Ida and Nanchai in the Edo era.

Yamato class super battleship

Yamato class

Yamato class is the last type of warship built in Japan and the largest warship in the world at that time. There are two ships in this class, namely Yamato and Musashi.

Daiwa

Daiwa

1936, the Japanese navy clearly put forward the strategy of intercepting the formation of American naval vessels at sea. Because the Japanese navy can't compete with the American navy in the number of capital ships, it is determined to offset the right deviation with the power of a single ship.

The party's advantage in quantity. 1937, the Japanese navy formulated the "Third Ship Replenishment Plan" and decided to build two Yamato battleships, the Yamato and Musashi. In addition, according to the "fifth replenishment plan", construction started.

Nobuka, the No.3 ship of this class, was converted into an aircraft carrier on 1942, and No.4 ship (1 1) was started on 1940,1,and stopped working on1in March 942.

Daiwa is famous for its giant main guns. Assemble three main guns, the first two, and then 1. At that time, the Japanese navy kept the caliber of the main gun secret, calling it the 94-type 400 mm gun, which was 45 times longer than the caliber.

It is 457 mm, and the rotating part of the main gun turret weighs about 2700 tons, which is equivalent to the displacement of the Japanese navy destroyer "Autumn Moon". The armor of the turret shield is very thick: 650 mm in front, 250 mm in side and behind.

Surface 190mm, top 270mm, and both sides of base 560mm. The rear of the turret is equipped with a rangefinder with a length of 15, and periscope sights are installed in front of both sides and the top of the turret. Using telescopes and sights

Periscope type, in order to minimize the impact of artillery shock wave. The pitch angle of the turret is +45 degrees and -5 degrees. When loading, it is fixed at +3 degrees, the pitching speed is 8 degrees per second, and the turret rotates once for 3 minutes.

Launch speed, per minute 1. 8 rounds; The maximum range is 42,000 meters and the flight time is 90 seconds. The base number of shells is 0/00 rounds per gun/kloc-and the charge of each shell is 330 kg. Each lifting speed is 6 seconds, and the loading is mechanized. The third district

The main guns are the same style, all made by Wu Shuishi.

The naval gun department of the factory is responsible for the development. When nine main guns are fired from the same side, the recoil reaches 8000 tons. The shock wave was also very strong when launching, so the ship design department took great pains for this day.

There are 4 auxiliary guns and 3 sets of 155 mm guns, which are located in the front of the superstructure and on both sides of the hull. These auxiliary guns are the main guns of cruisers, and their performance is better than that of 200mm guns. There are also 24 doors127mm anti-aircraft guns and 25mm cannon 1 13 doors. The whole warship is like a hedgehog standing up to defend itself, and all kinds of weapons are erected all over the body.

The front deck of the Yamato is also different, and the inner waist is curved. Its shape is similar to the Iowa class ship of the US Navy. However, the high-speed American ship (33 knots) looks slender, while the giant "Yamato"

But much fatter. There are left and right anchor chain barrels before the bow reaches the flagpole, and there are a pair of small mooring piles on the inside. When the anchor chain needs to be recovered, the anchor chain reaches the anchor chain wheel at the back through the guide plate and is fixed by a chain with two spiral chain locks. bow

From front to back, you can see the anchorage observation platform, cable conduit for lightning protection, aluminum ball platform (water depth measurement), cable conduit, mooring post and so on. Behind the steel anchor deck is a wooden deck, which extends to the rear main gun.

On the front deck, only the front end of the wooden deck is provided with ventilation holes and lifting openings, while the lifting and ventilation openings are centrally arranged behind the windshield in front of the rear main gun. This can not only make the deck in front of the rear main gun look clean and concise, but also reduce the impact of the shock wave of the main gun by using the ventilation pipe.

"Yamato" has two bridges, in front of the chimney (hereinafter referred to as the bridge), which is the operational command center of the whole ship. The "Yamato" changed the situation that the large-scale combat vessels bridge was too large. According to the actual situation of naval battle, it looks like ten ships.

Concise and to the point. The area in front of the bridge is 159 m2, and the lateral area of the bridge is 3 10 m2; Double-barrel structure is adopted, the inner barrel is equipped with various lines and pipelines, and the interlayer between the inner and outer barrels is equipped with various special rooms around the outer barrel.

There are devices related to command and detection. In order to reduce the impact of shock waves, there are few openings outside the bridge and they are closed neatly. At the top is the rotating main gun command post, with 98-type azimuth disk, periscope telescope and lower

There is a 15 meter rangefinder. Below the main gun shooting command post is the air defense command post, and several high-color binoculars are installed around the protective turntable on the top open deck. Under the air defense command post is the daytime combat bridge, also known as the first bridge. that

The front and side are equipped with air conditioning plates and protective devices. Usually, the commander of the fleet and his commanders, such as the headquarters and the captain, command the battle here. The next floor is the war room and lounge. Below are the upper observation station and the compass room in turn.

(that is, the night battle command post), the lower observation post and the commander tower (actually a communication channel, that is, the communication tube), etc.

Behind the "Yamato" chimney is the rear axle, which is the command post ready for battle. When the artillery is fired separately before and after, it also plays the role of the rear command post.

"Yamato" adopts a single chimney, which is characterized in that the flue of each boiler twists backwards and coincides with a certain part of the chimney.

Answer the phone. The chimney is also inclined backwards as far as possible to avoid smoke affecting the bridge work. In order to ensure the safety of the chimney opening, a 380 mm thick honeycomb board with many small holes with a diameter of 180 mm was installed at the opening.

The perforated area is 55% of the non-perforated area, and a protective deck with a thickness of 50 mm is installed on the inclined part and side in front of the chimney. In this way, the safety of the chimney is greatly improved.

The stern of the Yamato also has its own characteristics. The ship adopts semi-balanced rudder, which is arranged in front and back with a distance of15m, and is installed on the centerline (in the past, the warship was a balanced rudder, and the two rudders were installed side by side, which was easy to be damaged at the same time).

The rear rudder is large and is the main rudder; The front rudder is small, and it is the auxiliary rudder. Because of the large inertia of the ship, it is difficult to turn only with the auxiliary rudder, which plays an auxiliary role in the main rudder. There are storage batteries, diesel engines, oil pumps and other facilities in the steering gear room with thick deck protection, even if

The main rudder can still work when the power supply is cut off.

The shape of the stern is similar to that of a cruiser, but there is a flat place at the rear end of the stern. It was originally planned to install a seaplane recovery device, but it was not installed for some reason.

The back deck of the Yamato is its biggest distinguishing feature. There are hangars, boathouses, carrier-based aircraft recovery and launching devices behind the rear main gun. In order to avoid the impact of artillery shock waves, hangars, boathouses and other facilities are on the upper deck.

Go down. The deck behind the rear main gun is an iron deck. The outboard brackets on both sides of the rear main gun have tunnel-like boathouses. There are also overhangs on both sides of the back of the boathouse, and there are railings below, on which the mobile boat is hoisted to lift the boat. Rear upper deck

The stern is obviously sunken, resulting in an approximate rectangular slot, which is a temporary storage place for carrier aircraft. There is an opening in front of the slot, which leads to the hangar. The hangar in the ship is located between the upper deck and the middle deck in front of the rear main gun. The first half of it

There is a trapezoidal area where three Zero fighters and three water observation machines can be placed on both sides. On both sides of the trough are platforms with the same height as the upper deck, and the launching devices of carrier aircraft are arranged on the platforms. In addition, there is a dump crane at the stern.

Lifting device, etc.

After serving, Yamato participated in the naval battle of midway as the flagship of the Japanese naval joint fleet. Later, in the Mariana naval battle, facing the advantages of the US navy and air force, nothing was done. 1944 10 Battle of Leyte Bay, Yamato

Musashi was injured by several bombs, attacked by American planes in the sea area of Sibuyan, Philippines, and sunk after being hit by 19 torpedo and 17 bomb. 1945 In April, the Yamato, as the flagship of the Second Fleet, set sail for Okinawa.

The sea area attempted to carry out a suicide attack on the landing allied forces, but it was attacked by the US aircraft carrier fleet on the way, hit by a 10 torpedo and 24 bombs, exploded during the overturning process and sank in the southwest waters of Kagoshima, Kyushu.

Musashi

Musashi

Musashi is the famous Yamato No.2 ship and the representative work of the Japanese navy battleship. 194 1 completed with standard displacement of 64,000 tons and full-load displacement of 72,809 tons.

The ship is 263 meters long and 38.9 meters wide. There are three 460mm main guns on board, with a maximum range of 40km and a bomb weight of1460kg. There are also four triple guns 155mm guns and six double guns.

Install 127mm anti-aircraft gun. At that time, no warship in the world could compare with Musashi and its sister ship Yamato in tonnage and naval gun firepower. At the beginning, the Japanese built these two sea areas in top secret.

Big Mac. Their armor protection is excellent, and there are stacked hulls. The main defense zone, which accounts for 53.5% of the whole ship's length, covers 4 10 mm thick side armor and 200-230 mm thick armor.

Plate and 350 mm thick transverse bulkhead protection, even if 2 tons of aerial bombs were dropped from a height of 2200 meters, they could not penetrate the helmet. The underwater protection of the warship is 6.25m wide and installed.

A bulkhead is 64- 194 mm thick, and the hull is divided into two parts.

There are 4 main watertight compartments, and almost all the main transverse bulkheads reach the upper open deck, with a total of 1 147 waterproof compartments (below the protective deck 1065). According to the test, the Musashi ship can withstand the equivalent

Under the attack of 500-600kg TNT torpedo, the initial horizontal stability center height of the trial displacement (69 1 00t) is 3.35m, and the reserve buoyancy is 57,450 tons (of course, there is actually no1battleship in reserve.

Sink into the water when the buoyancy is exhausted).

Musashi has been doing nothing since he served. Because Japan lost the advantage of aircraft carrier in the naval battle of midway, the battleships lacking air cover have been holed up in the internal sea of Japan. Until 1944 10, musashi finally

Waiting for the opportunity to participate in the Battle of Leyte Bay, but this will also be its death journey. 1October 24th, 1944, 10, the Japanese fleet sailing in Shiwuyan was violently attacked by American planes, 10: 25, 17.

An American bomber first attacked the Musashi ship. U.S. planes passing through heavy anti-aircraft fire dropped bombs on Musashi ship, four of which landed near starboard, causing a water column hundreds of feet high and black smoke enveloped the battleship.

The bow damaged by shrapnel was immersed in seawater below the waterline. Another bomb weighing 60 kg hit the top of the main turret 1, but was bounced back by the armor with a thickness of 270 mm on the turret. These bombs were not built for Musashi.

What damage, but the bombers flew in less than 2 minutes, and the torpedoes dropped by the three BF torpedoes dragged their trails to the starboard side of Musashi ship, all hitting the super combat train that could not escape.

Boat. But there was only one huge explosion, and two other torpedoes slipped from the bottom of the ship. For a huge ship that can bear 500-600 kilograms of TNT, this rib bump 130.

MK 13 aviation torpedo (equipped with 270kg mixed explosive, equivalent to 3.

The damage of 50-400 kg TNT to the hull can be ignored, but the vibration caused by its explosion is so magical that the main azimuth plate in front of the main gun fails and cannot rotate. The malfunction of this aiming device

It made it impossible for Musashi's nine main guns to use the powerful 3-type rebound with Yamato and volley the incoming American planes at the same time. More importantly, it dealt a blow to Captain Inoguchi's confidence in shelling American ships with the world's largest navy.

The captain whose self-esteem was hurt never forgot to ask the shipbuilding department to improve the protection of the main bearing plate of the main gun in his suicide note until his death.

At the same time as the torpedo hit, six torpedo planes and six bombers attacked almost simultaneously. Three torpedoes hit the port side (rib 80, 1 10, 145), and then two bombs dropped by bombers hit it.

In the deck and port engine room area, the first bomb penetrated the front deck and the port shell, and the second bomb exploded from the left front of No.4 anti-aircraft gun on the port side until it penetrated into the middle deck 10 crew room, causing the fire to spread to the second bomb.

Mechanical room. The engine room on the port side was full of steam, forcing people to leave, and the warship stopped turning the 1 axis among the 4 axes. Although Japanese anti-aircraft gunners are shooting wildly, the power of 25 mm anti-aircraft guns is almost the same as that of well-protected US carrier aircraft.

It doesn't work, let alone effectively stop its attack. After being hit by four aviation torpedoes, the warship tilted 5 degrees to the left and the second water pressure chamber was flooded. Although the pitch is not obvious, the bow of the ship has also been flooded 1 m.

-This was mainly caused by a bomb passing through the bow hull.

After seawater was injected into some starboard cabins by emergency reverse injection method, Musashi ship righted to the left at 1 degree. At the same time, due to the increase of other three-axis speeds, the speed of the battered Musashi ship remained at 22 knots. However, as the steel plate penetrated by the bomb rolled outward at the bow, which increased the resistance, Musashi gradually fell behind the fleet. This made this ship the main target of the second attack by the United States.

The second attack started at about 12: 07. No less than 13 fighters and bombers pounced on the musashi ship. The nearly lost shrapnel killed the gunner on the deck. 1 Torpedo hit starboard rib 60.

Bone, submerged part of the cabin, increased the pitch to1.8m. Thirty minutes later, four bombs dropped by American planes directly hit Musashi. The bomb damaged three decks, and some internal devices and anti-aircraft guns were destroyed.

The gunner is either dead or injured. The deck of the Musashi ship was bombed at sixes and sevens, and blood flowed into the river. The damage caused by TBF torpedo machine is even more amazing. 1 The torpedo hit the 70th rib on the port side of the warship and three torpedoes hit the starboard side.

70, 1 10, 138 ribs. Thousands of tons of turbulent seawater poured into the hull from the tear of torpedo explosion, which aggravated the heeling and the bow of the ship sank to 4 meters. Although after continuing to inject water, the Musashi ship got help again.

To the left 1 degree, but the speed dropped to 16 knots and then to 12 knots. The distance between the super battleship and the fleet is getting farther and farther. At this time, she has suffered 9 torpedoes, 7 bombs and no less than 15 near bombs.

strike

14: 45, 75 American planes launched the third attack on the Musashi ship. At this point, most of the anti-aircraft guns of the Musashi ship outside the team are no longer available. It has become a dying dinosaur, and the Musashi ship is soon.

After eating 1 1 torpedo, nine torpedoes hit the port side (three of them hit almost the same position, that is, ribs 140, others were hit by 40, 60, 75, 125, 145 and/kloc).

), two hit the starboard 80th and 105 ribs. 10 bomb directly hit the superstructure and was completely destroyed. Six other near bombs landed near the battleship, and the huge water column built the battleship as huge as a mountain.

The speed of the escort thawing destroyer suddenly dropped from 36 knots to 20 knots. The captain's elevator of Musashi ship and the standby room of the central high gunner were destroyed, and the top of the No.2 main turret was hit (naturally not punctured), 25 mm high.

There is water in the gun magazine. The air defense commander at the top of the bridge was also hit (the first bridge and the war room caught fire), and the captain of the command above, Major General Inoguchi Minping, was injured in the right shoulder, and the anti-aircraft gunner Guang Lai was killed with Zhu Rong Shozo. first

The sailors on the bridge were also killed. A * * * the whole bridge killed and injured 78 people. The command of the warship temporarily failed. At this time, the deputy captain Kenji Kato, who stayed at the Second Bridge (here is the battleship's preparatory command post), replied.

Command orders. But not long after, the injured pig mouth came to the second bridge to continue the command. At this time, the left side of the hull has reached 10 degrees, and it can only barely recover to 6 degrees after injecting water to the starboard side. The bow sank 8 meters, only installed

The huge chrysanthemum top (diameter1.2m) is still on it. Musashi ship has been hit hard by any warship, but with its huge hull and strict protection design, it still floats on the water, although
