Japanese navy heavy aircraft carrier
Akagi
Brief history of architecture
The aircraft carrier Chicheng was built by Kulei Naval Shipyard. /kloc-0 started construction on February 6, 920, and/kloc-0 stopped sailing on February 5, 922, and was converted into an aircraft carrier due to the restrictions of the Washington Treaty. When the battleship was changed into an aircraft carrier, the main hull remained basically unchanged. Above the main deck, it has been rebuilt with a double-deck hangar. In addition to the main flight deck, there is a short flight deck at the bow that leads directly to the hangar, but it turns out that the short flight deck is basically useless. When completed, the artillery on the cruiser has been installed and there is no island superstructure. The exhaust gas from the boiler is discharged from the starboard side, and a downward sloping chimney is installed.
1925 was launched on April 22nd and completed on March 25th 1927. In the first five years of service in the Japanese navy, a series of tests were carried out and the superstructure of starboard island was installed. June 1935 to August 1938 was refitted at sasebo Naval Shipyard. The bow flight deck was cancelled, the hangar extended forward, the main flight deck was lengthened and widened, and the structure was strengthened. The island superstructure on the port side replaced the island superstructure on the starboard side, and the naval gun was readjusted and improved. After modification, the full-load displacement is 4 1.300 tons, the power is steam turbine, 19 boiler, 4 shafts, 1.365438 knots, and the maximum speed is 3 1 knot. The equipment is 6 main guns with single tube and 6 double tubes1knot.
Operational resume
1On the night of June 5, 942, the battleship Yamato sank peacefully into the sea 300 nautical miles northwest of midway. In the war room, General Isoroku Yamamoto, who has always been calm and decisive, hesitated at this time, because a piece of paper in his hand was so heavy, "Two bombs in Chicheng lost their fighting power, please decide." He fully understood that Nan Yun would send such a message under what circumstances, but before making this inevitable decision, he could not help but think back.
Akagi is the first heavy aircraft carrier of the Japanese Navy. As the flagship of the First Air Force of the Japanese Navy, she is also the queen of the Japanese aircraft carrier. As a part of the "August 8th Fleet Plan" (8 battleships and 8 battle cruiser), Chicheng was originally designed as battle cruiser, and manufacturing began in February of 1920. 1923 1 1 Due to the influence of the Washington Treaty, the Japanese need to stop building two battleships and four battle cruiser before completion. Chicheng was converted into an aircraft carrier before it was completed.
At the beginning of Chicheng 1927' s service in March, the flight deck was divided into upper, middle and lower sections. The front of the lower deck is for large carrier aircraft to take off, the middle deck is for light carrier aircraft to take off, and the upper deck is for aircraft to land. The purpose of this design is to carry more planes. It is estimated that when the plane takes off on the middle deck, it will accelerate in the narrow passage like the spaceship in the cartoon now, and then rush into space. This problem was soon discovered in the use of Chicheng. This design is not practical, and traffic management is complicated. Therefore, Chicheng was refitted in 1935, with three flight decks connected together, two groups of cylindrical columns at the front end and an island superstructure on the left side of the flight deck for easy observation.
Isoroku Yamamoto used to be the captain of Chicheng. Yamamoto, with his keen eyes, realized the essential influence of this warship without giant guns on naval warfare. Although this idea did not occupy a major position in the navy, Yamamoto did put a lot of energy into the Akagi.
In the first Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895, Yamamoto led Chicheng and Kaga to bomb Shanghai. 1937 The July 7th Incident broke out, and Chicheng killed people in the Yangtze River valley, South China, zhina and Hainan.
As the first heavy aircraft carrier of the Japanese Navy, Akagi has the best pilots in the Navy. During 1940, the situation between Japan and the United States became increasingly tense, and all the US Pacific Fleet moved to Pearl Harbor. 194 1 at the beginning of the year, yamamoto made a plan to sneak attack on pearl harbor, and the aviation team conducted strict training for it. Yamamoto's policy is to treat casualties in training as equals in actual combat. In this way, the pilots of Chicheng and the First Air Force can hit 80% before the war. 194165438+In February, Chicheng participated in the attack on Pearl Harbor as the flagship. Yamamoto's thought was fully verified in Pearl Harbor, and his position in the imperial navy reached the peak of Japan.
Within half a year after the war broke out, Chicheng's first air fleet swept across the Pacific Ocean and the Indian Ocean, but Yamamoto could never imagine what happened to Chicheng on Midway Island, but he knew what decision he had to make. After the photo of the emperor came out, four destroyers, Wufeng, Chifeng and Lanfeng, which were carrying out escort missions, each fired a torpedo, and the giant battleship Chicheng, which was struggling on the water, quickly disappeared in the sea with its warning from carrier-based aircraft. The surviving crew were sent to the Pacific outpost.

Japanese navy heavy aircraft carrier: Kaga
-Kaga (Kaga)
Brief history of architecture
The Kaga aircraft carrier was built by Kawasaki. 1920 started in July19,19211.07, 10 stopped work 1922. It was originally planned as a fast warship, but was later changed to an aircraft carrier due to the Washington naval treaty. After 1923, it was restarted and transformed into an aircraft carrier. On March 2,1,1928 was put into use, but it was not put into use immediately. In the early days, it served as an island superstructure test ship. From 1934 to 1935, it was modernized in sasebo Naval Shipyard. After modification, the displacement is 4254 1 ton, 8 boilers and turbines, 127400 horsepower, and the maximum speed is 28 knots. The armament is 10 single-tube 20mm single-use gun, 8 127mm dual-purpose guns, 22 25mm anti-aircraft guns and 206,500 passengers.
War process
Kaga is one of the first heavy aircraft carriers in Japan. It is very similar to the origin of Chicheng. It was originally designed as a warship. After serving, the extras were incorporated into the first air force together with Chicheng. Since then, the two ships have generally performed tasks together, and their fate is similar.
Kaga is the main force of the navy invading China. In the Songhu Battle of 1932, Kaga and Chicheng jointly completed the task of bombing and air superiority. 1932 On February 22nd and 26th, several carrier aircraft from Kaga bombed Suzhou and Hangzhou respectively. At that time, the carrier-based aircraft was equipped with 90 ships and 89 ships. 1937 After the Lugouqiao Incident in July, Kaga cooperated with the army to attack Chinese mainland more crazily, and Kaga's carrier aircraft appeared in Shanghai, Nanjing, Changsha and Chengdu. 1932 August 15, about 30 carrier aircraft from Kaga attempted to attack China air force school-jianqiao airport. It was intercepted by China 2 1 plane, and the Japanese plane was shot down by 13, which was Kaga's worst failure in China. Since then, the Kaga has been active in the waters of China, and its bombing targets have been extended to Guangzhou Baiyun Airport and Guangzhou downtown. 1939, Kaga returned to the Pacific Ocean.
19411On February 7th, Kaga participated in the attack on Pearl Harbor as one of six aircraft carriers. Subsequently, Lieutenant General Nan Yun led the First Air Force (Chicheng and Kaga) and the Fifth Air Force (Shoukaku and Ruihe) to participate in the attacks on the periphery of Southeast Asia, including the air raid on the rabaul base in Bismarck Islands, New Guinea on 20-23 October, 65438. Then the Nanyun fleet swept westward from the South Pacific to the Indian Ocean. Including the air raid on Darwin Harbor, Australia on February 19, assisting in the occupation of Dutch East India on March 3, and the air raid on Chilaza Harbor on the south coast of Java. Then, the Kaga returned to the mainland for maintenance and did not participate in the battle with the British navy in the Indian Ocean in April.
1June, 942, the first air force and the second air force (black dragon and Longfei) participated in the battle of midway, all of which were sunk. 1On June 4th, 942, the Kaga was sunk by the carrier aircraft of USS Enterprise in the northwest waters of midway.

Japanese navy heavy aircraft carrier: Dafeng
1944 June19, dawn is about to break in the eastern Philippines. Under the leadership of Ozawa, Saburo and vice admiral, the first mobile unit of imperial japanese navy's United Fleet is divided into A and B..
C, C three units, each with three aircraft carriers as the core, form a circular formation, which is advancing from southwest to northeast. Ozawa tried to take advantage of the larger combat radius of carrier aircraft, and used Guam base to "shuttle bomb" the US 58th Special Task Force under the command of spruance vice admiral (a kind of reciprocating bombing by carrier aircraft and land base, that is, after the carrier aircraft raided the target, it flew to a nearby land aviation base to replenish fuel and ammunition, and then attacked the target again on the way back), thus curbing the US military from launching a new offensive against the Mariana Islands.
Ozawa stood on the bridge of the flagship "Gail" and ordered the attack fleets to take off one after another to attack the Metersbonwe-Bang Wei mixed fleet 30O nautical miles away. 10 at eight o'clock, the flagship lookout suddenly screamed. He saw a plane swooping down towards the sea. There are three torpedo tracks on the sea, pointing to Taihō. It turned out that Cao and Fei Bing Guan Huxiong discovered the minefield, and the torpedo was launched by an American submarine. In order to protect the flagship from attack, he took a suicide collision action and crashed a torpedo. The "Taihō" made an emergency escape, but it was too late, and it was still thundered. Taihō is a heavily armored aircraft carrier. It seems to be safe and sound after being struck by lightning, and it has not shown any abnormality at the moment. So Ozawa ordered the frigate to only strengthen its anti-submarine alert, and the battle continued as planned. However, an accident happened. After the torpedo exploded, an elevator was damaged and the vent there was blocked. After the aviation gasoline tank was damaged, gasoline vapor leaked out continuously, and these gases gathered in large quantities and detonated at 14: 32. Fire and smoke spewed from the hangar and quickly spread to the ammunition depot. "Taihō" belly, followed by a series of big explosions, the hull immediately tilted. 18: 28, 10 hours later, this new aircraft carrier, which had only served for one month, was buried in the abyss west of Saipan.
Construction story and overview
In 1930s, the naval arms race among the world's naval powers reached its climax and entered the so-called period of no treaty constraint. The ambitious Japanese Navy took the US Navy as an opponent and began to implement a six-year shipbuilding plan from 1939. The plan provides for the construction of a new aircraft carrier.
According to the analysis of the Japanese navy, the Japanese navy is weaker than the US navy in strength comparison. If you want to win, you have to rely on your own well-trained characteristics, especially good at night fighting and melee, approaching the US fleet for hand-to-hand combat. In this way, we will approach enemy ships at the risk of being attacked, so we must strengthen our protection ability and strengthen the armor protection of aircraft carriers. Under the guidance of this idea, Taihō has built an aircraft carrier that is "not inferior to the American and British aircraft carriers in modern form".
Taihō has a displacement of more than 34,000 tons, a waterline of 253 meters, a waterline width of 27.7 meters, a draft of 9.7 meters, a flight deck of 257.5 meters and a width of 30 meters, a steam turbine with four shafts, power160,000 horsepower and a speed of 33 knots. In order to change the fragile situation of its flight deck, the Japanese navy has taken pains to reduce the number of carrier-based aircraft (632 1 less than that of Shoukaku) to improve the protection ability of the flight deck and enhance its unsinkability. On the basis of the construction of the Japanese naval aircraft carrier, it is considered to be of epoch-making significance.
Bridge and chimney integration
Taihō's flight deck is low, so what kind of chimney to use has become a thorny issue from the beginning. Once upon a time, the chimney of a Japanese aircraft carrier extended from the ship's side to the survey side and bent downward, and the effect was not bad. The disadvantage is that once damaged, when the hull tilts, it is very unfavorable to the ship. Taihō's flight deck is very low, and so is the deck where chimneys are installed. On such a low deck, if it is still the curved chimney in the past, it will be even more detrimental to the stability of the hull. Therefore, it is decided to give up the transverse oblique bending chimney and adopt the vertical chimney. However, this point met with trouble at the technical demonstration meeting. The Japanese navy has always attached importance to night battles, and aircraft carriers are no exception. In order to meet the needs of night combat, military carrier aircraft should minimize the protrusions on the flight deck, and vertical chimneys are obvious obstacles. In addition, the smoke from this chimney also affects the take-off and landing activities of aircraft. Although the conversion into a vertical chimney was strongly opposed, the hope of maintaining the stability of the aircraft carrier finally prevailed. As a result, the vertical chimney was placed and integrated with the bridge.
The bridge of "Gale" is not outside the flight deck aerial survey line, but a little inside, slightly in front of the starboard survey center, to maintain stability. In order to ensure that the exhaust smoke will not cause serious adverse effects on the rear flight deck, the design and research department made a model of 1% and carried out wind tunnel tests. The test shows that after the bridge and chimney are integrated, the sand chimney needs to be inclined 26 "from its vertical surface, which is17m higher than the flight deck. In this way, the smoke from the chimney will not affect the operation on the flight deck behind. The internal configuration of "Taihō" bridge is as follows from the cockpit plane: there are azimuth measuring room, pilot standby room and meteorological room on the cockpit plane; On the deck plane of the lower bridge, there are lounges for commanders, chief of staff, captains and navigators, azimuth measuring rooms and telegraph rooms; There are steering room, first defense command post, war room, chart room, azimuth measuring room and telegraph room on the deck of Shangdu Bridge. On the deck plane of the compass bridge, there are a gold crossing station, a searchlight command post and a carrier-based aircraft landing command post. The air defense command post is located on the top deck.
Enclosed bow and foredeck
In the Japanese navy, Taihō took the lead in adopting a fully enclosed bow capable of resisting storms. The bow outer plate extends all the way to the front and side of the flight deck, thus improving the airworthiness and seakeeping of the aircraft carrier, increasing the length of the flight deck and the strength of the foremost flight deck.
The outer side of the bow of "Taihō" is obviously curved, which is connected with the side and front end of the flight deck. Usually, the anchor deck on the bow deck is located in the ship, and the mooring and mooring equipment are also placed in the ship. There is no horn for anchoring outside the bow, and the bow below the waterline is spherical. Bow cabin includes: warehouse, operation field, anchor room, etc.
Flight deck and hangar
"Gale" is the first aircraft carrier with protective armor on its flight deck in the Japanese Navy. It is a difficult problem to have protective armor and ensure its stability. After argumentation, the Japanese navy decisively decided to take measures to directly strengthen the flight deck. This can change the vulnerability of the flight deck, which is conducive to melee and attacking enemy ships in the operational radius of enemy carrier aircraft. The flight deck of "Taihō" is 257.5 meters long, with a front end width of 18 meters, a middle part width of 30 meters and a rear end width of 27 meters. There is one elevator in front and one elevator in back (each elevator weighs100t), and protective armor (length150m, width 20m) is installed between the two elevators. This part of the protective armor consists of a deck with a thickness of 20 mm and a deck with a thickness of 75 mm. The surface is coated with latex (previously made of wood) and can withstand the dive attack of 500 kg bombs. The flight deck is equipped with arresting devices for carrier-based aircraft landing (each arresting device has at most 4 transverse ropes, 4 arresting devices 14 transverse ropes), the maximum braking distance is 40m, the maximum braking speed is 30m seconds (the maximum weight of the aircraft is 4,000kg), and the hydraulic braking mode is adopted. The recovery power is compressed air, and the recovery time is 9 seconds.
The hangar is divided into two floors; The upper layer 18m wide and the lower layer 18m wide. Each has four compartments. Roof thickness of upper hangar 10 mm. There is a space of 0.7 meters between the flight application and the hangar roof to prevent the bomb from penetrating the flight deck and endangering the upper hangar. However, the "gale" that suddenly exploded was exactly in the hangar. The hangar is full of light oil and gas. When ignited and detonated, the fire will devour Taihō in an instant. Some of the 75 aircraft on board (27 Zero Fighters, 1999 and 27 Comet Bombers, 18 Tianshan Attack Aircraft and 3 Reconnaissance Aircraft) were transferred to other aircraft carriers, and the other part was reduced to ashes on board.
Main air defense equipment
The weapons used by aircraft carriers for self-defense are carrier-based fighters and anti-aircraft guns. "Taihō" is mainly equipped with two types: Type 98 double-mounted 100 mm anti-aircraft gun and Type 96 three-mounted 25mm cannon. The former has 6 seats (12 doors) and 3 seats on each side. Its maximum range 14000m, maximum firing height1000 m, firing rate 15 rounds/min, maximum south elevation angle 190o- 10 ",and pitching speed/kloc. The firing command of the gun is type 94, one on each side. The latter 17 seats, port 8 seats, starboard 7 seats and stern 2 seats; It has eight shooting directors, which are installed on both sides and at the stern. In addition, air-to-air radars are installed on the bridge, the back of the superstructure and the signal mast. Searchlights are installed on the flight deck and one side of the bridge.
Stern part
The freeboard of "Taihō" is relatively high at the stern, and there is a boat storage place under the stern flight national board. Because it is as high as dry, there is no separate ship storage deck. There are two sets of rudders, both of which are semi-balanced. In addition, in order to strengthen air defense firepower, two 25 mm guns were installed at the end of the gauge when it was completed.

Brief history of architecture
The aircraft carrier "Black Dragon" was built by Kuhl Naval Shipyard. 1October 20th 1934 165438, launched on February 23rd 1935 and completed on February 29th 1937. It is the first large aircraft carrier specially built by the Japanese navy. It has a double-deck hangar, an all-pass flight deck, a starboard island superstructure, and a cruiser main engine for higher speed. The large aircraft carriers built by the Japanese navy in the future are all designed with reference to this aircraft carrier. Full-load displacement 19800 tons, steam turbine, 8 boilers, 4 shafts, 152000 horsepower, maximum speed of 34.5 knots, crew 1 100 people, armed with 6 double 127 mm guns and 28 guns. On June 4th, 1942 was sunk by USS Enterprise carrier aircraft in the northwest waters of Midway Island.
The aircraft carrier "Longfei" was built by Yokosuga Naval Shipyard. It started on July 8th, 1936, was launched on October 6th, and was completed on July 5th, 1937. It is an improved version of black dragon. Compared with black dragon, it further strengthened the structural strength of the hull and improved the bow and armor. The biggest change is that the island superstructure is changed to port side. Full-load displacement is 2 1.900 tons, steam turbine, 8 boilers, 4 shafts, 1.53 million horsepower, and the maximum speed is 34.3 knots. Crew 65,438+0,065,438+0, armed with 6 pairs of 65,438+0.27mm guns, 365,438.
The flying dragon that started to burn after being shot, pay attention to the huge bullet hole in the elevator ahead.
War process
Canglong and Longfei belong to the same level of medium-sized attack aircraft carriers, both of which are the second batch of aircraft carriers of the Japanese Navy. The original design of Black Dragon and Dragonfly is the so-called "air cruiser", which is not restricted by the 1930 Washington Naval Treaty. However, in the design, it is found that it is neither feasible nor necessary to carry both aircraft and machine guns. Then Black Dragon and Dragonfly were designed as full-time aircraft carriers. Drawing on the design experience of Chicheng and Kaga, black dragon and Longfei still achieve similar performance to the former, but their armor is weak.
Black dragon193411started construction in October, and19371February served. The following year, Canglong cruised in China, and its carrier aircraft assisted the land-based air force in invading China in the Yangtze River basin and South China. Dragonfly started construction in July, 1936, and served in July, 1939. Dragonfly is a little longer than black dragon, and its bridge is different from that of black dragon. black dragon is located on the left side of the flight deck. After the service, Longfei and black dragon were incorporated into the Second Air Force, under the command of Major General Dowen Yamaguchi.
There are no two dragons in the plan to attack Pearl Harbor. At Yamaguchi's suggestion, Canglong and Dragonfly participated in the attack as part of six attack aircraft carriers. And because of strong endurance, on the way back, black dragon and Longfei of the Second Air Force were ordered to reinforce wake island. At the beginning of 1942, the second air force launched an air raid south and landed in dutch east indies. 65438+1October 24-25, air strikes in Ambon Port; On February 4th, the flying team of the Second Air Force took off from the shore base and carried out air raids on the British, American, Dutch and Australian fleets led by Dutch Major General dormann. On February 15, the 2nd Air Force joined the 1st Air Force (Chicheng and Kaga) that completed the air raid in rabaul. On February 19, the first and second air teams attacked Darwin Harbour, Australia; In March, he assisted the Dutch East India in the war and attacked the port of Chiraza on the south bank of Java Island.
1942 in April, the first and second air forces, together with the fifth air force (Xianghe and Ruihe) and the frigate group swept the British navy in the Indian Ocean, including five aircraft carriers that attacked Pearl Harbor except Kaga. On April 5, it attacked the British Pacific Fleet bases in Colombo and Tinkleland in Ceylon Bay, and sank the British heavy cruisers Dorset, Cornwall and Sports God outside the bases.
1June, 942, four attack aircraft carriers (Chicheng, Kaga, Longfei and black dragon) participated in the Battle of Midway Island and were all sunk. Major General Dawn Yamaguchi, commander of the Second Air Force, refused to leave the ship and sank with the Dragonfly. Among the four ships, the dragonfly was finally attacked. Prior to this, its carrier aircraft crashed into the American aircraft carrier Yorktown and was finally sunk by a Japanese submarine.

Construction of Mitsubishi Nagasaki Shipyard. Originally intended to be built as a transport ship, the commencement date is unknown. It was launched on February 9th 1938 and completed in July 1939. 1943165438+1was converted into an aircraft carrier on October 23rd. 1944 was only used as a training ship before, and was used for aircraft transportation in the late war. 1945 was bombed by British planes on July 24th and disintegrated after the war.
Similar to other escort carriers, the hangar and flight deck are relatively small, and there are no superstructures, catapults and blocking cables on the island.

-Dragon bar
According to Washington naval treaty 192 1, the aircraft carrier is less than 1 10,000 tons.
Not within the limits, Japan designed this aircraft carrier with a displacement of 8,000 tons. Due to the limited scale, the designer spent a lot of effort. However, after completion, the standard displacement still exceeds the original design, reaching 10600 tons. Shortly after service, it was found that the stability of the hull was poor, the bow deck was too low, and the support structure of the flight deck was not strong enough, which was crushed by big waves. Therefore, two 127 mm guns and other detachable heavy objects were dismantled, which strengthened the hull structure, improved the bow deck and improved the seaworthiness. In order to increase stability, 500 tons of ballast had to be added, which affected the speed. At the beginning of the Pacific War, it fought in Sumatra and the Indian Ocean. 1942 On August 24th, the second naval battle in Solomon Islands, the aircraft of the American aircraft carrier Saratoga crashed into four bombs and sank.
