Soy sauce is not easy to beat. Tell me about the Japanese light aircraft carrier.

Aircraft carrier reserve ship is an aircraft carrier modified from submarine support ship, also called submarine aircraft carrier. Why do these things appear? Because of the Washington Treaty of 1922, the total tonnage and single tonnage of ships were limited, and it was impossible to develop some large ships. Therefore, merchant ships or military auxiliary ships can only be used to develop things that are not noticed by others. In wartime, emergency modification can be carried out to transform ordinary ships into aircraft carriers. This is also called the combination of military and civilian, and the combination of peacetime and wartime.

Japan is also engaged in many kinds of things. Its firm shipbuilding policy is to build some ships that can be mobilized by dogs in wartime in peacetime. The Maritime Self-Defense Force does not have so many ships and few soldiers, but it can be used in wartime. At that time, there were mainly three aircraft carriers changed in this way, namely Xiangfeng, Ruifeng and Longfeng.

Xiangfeng, how did you get here? 1934 and 1935, Yokosuga shipyard built two fleet tankers, one named Kenzaki and the other named Takasaki. This oil tanker is a large oil tank with more than 10,000 tons, which can hold oil.

Generally speaking, ships that can carry oil often have a certain displacement and a certain space, so they have the potential to be converted into aircraft carriers. At that time, Osaki and Takasaki were built according to fleet tankers. 12000 tons can hold more than 4000 tons of heavy oil, and the speed is 19 knots.

At that time, the Japanese navy felt that it was restricted by the treaty and could convert an oil tanker into an aircraft carrier in the future. Therefore, although it is built according to oil tankers, it should be designed according to aircraft carrier reserve ships. For example, it has an independent bridge and a two-story hangar. The laying of the pipeline in the ship is done according to the aircraft carrier, and an elevator is also set up.

In order to hide people's eyes and ears, a fake chimney was set up in the middle of the upper deck, so it is not Ma Pingchuan's flight deck to take pictures of the plane or go to the dock, but an oil tanker or submarine support ship with a huge chimney.

When the Washington Treaty 1937 expired,165438+1October 1940, Japan began to change the Kenzaki of these two oil tankers into the Xiangfeng aircraft carrier, dismantle fake chimneys and install wooden flight decks. It was originally planned to be completed in three months, but it took one year. What's the main problem?

The main reason is that the speed of an aircraft carrier is generally above 25 knots, but modified aircraft carriers like oil tankers and merchant ships can't reach such a high speed. At that time, after this 12000-ton ship was fitted with a diesel engine, the actual speed was 17 knots, so in the end we had to gut the ship and rebuild the power. Finally, it took the boss's effort to increase the speed to 28 knots.

1February, 942, Xiangfeng participated in the battle for the first time, and was incorporated into the Fourth Air Force of the First Air Fleet, mainly transporting aircraft to Truck Island in the southwest Pacific Ocean. 1May, 942, he also participated in the Raiders War in port moresby, taking on the task of external vigilance and covering the Japanese landing by landing craft. 1On May 6th, 945, a naval battle broke out in Coral. At that time, Japanese Xianghe and Ruihe discovered an American cruise ship.

The pilot on the carrier looked like an aircraft carrier from above, accompanied by a destroyer, so Japan decided that the cruise ship was an American aircraft carrier and began to work. As a result, after the United States found that its cruise ship and destroyer were sunk, it was judged that the Japanese must be nearby. The next day, the US military decided to retaliate against Japan. It also took off the carrier-based aircraft, searched everywhere and found the Xiangfeng.

Moreover, the United States misjudged the light aircraft carrier Xiangfeng as a large aircraft carrier like Shoukaku and Ruihe. 93 planes mobilized and began bombing. Xiangfeng hit 13 bomb and seven torpedoes, and sank 35 minutes later. Xiangfeng's sister ship, Ruifeng, was rebuilt from Gaoqi, and this ship is still under construction in 1939.

1937 When the Washington Treaty expired, Japan felt it was unnecessary to hide it. In addition, with the lesson of changing the carrier of the Kensaki, it simply stuffed the power in and was born smoothly. 1940 12 served with 27 planes, and also participated in well-known battles such as midway, Solomon and Mariana, and was finally sunk by the US military in the Battle of Leyte Bay.

The Battle of Leyte Bay was the last great naval battle in Japan. In this naval battle, Ruifeng was mainly responsible for serving as bait in the northeast of Wright Bay battlefield to lure American general halsey to participate in the war. Why seduce? What are halsey's main combat tasks? Is to provide air support for the huge landing fleet of hundreds of thousands of people in the United States.

Because when we landed, just after Jiaozi landed, thousands of soldiers began to board the landing boat in droves. In this case, if there is no air support, machine gun strafe and bomb explosion, how many people will die, so halsey's task is to provide air cover and maritime operational safety. The Ruifeng was finally sunk as cannon fodder.

Longfeng was modified from an aviation support ship whale. Whale was launched on 1933, but it was the latest to change its carrier, mainly because of the main engine problem. No matter the development of ships or aircraft, there will be no speed when the main engine fails, let alone the take-off and landing of aircraft.

The main problem of aircraft carriers is their high speed. The mainframe is equivalent to the human heart. When a person grows old, it is more troublesome to remove a person's heart and replace it with a new one.

At that time, when it was changed almost, it was probably1April 942. When Doolittle attacked Tokyo, the Dragon and Phoenix was unfortunately hit by a bullet and had to be repaired. After it was repaired, it caught up with the battle of Guadalcanal and went to the battlefield. But I didn't expect a bad start. I was found by the United States in the inland sea, beaten and injured. Later, I also played some soy sauce intermittently. 1945 After Japan surrendered, 1946 scrapped the ship.

Those good and powerful aircraft carriers were all killed at first. These worthless things are grinding their feet. Life is worse than death, but they won't die. These three aircraft carriers were all transformed from Japanese warships to ensure the emergency mobilization of the Japanese navy in wartime. After the emergency mobilization, the navy has enough aircraft carriers, but in actual combat, these aircraft carriers are there in number and can't play much role.
