There is such a **, the difference with the conventional ** is that it does not blindly seek more firepower in firepower, but adopts a new way of thinking, that is, it is equipped with a heavy **. It's like a person with strong martial arts, without any fancy moves, and the moves are deadly. And these giant cannons are the real big killers.
There are a total of eight 305 mm giant cannons hidden in four twin towers on the "Invincible" class ship. Each emplacement weighed between 450 and 500 tons, and one of the main guns weighed 57 tons. This weight was enough for him to walk sideways on the sea. Their muzzle velocity reached 831 meters per second, and their maximum range was 16,450 meters. The float boat was more elaborately constructed, with twin guns placed on the central axis to ensure adequate fire support both in the front and in the rear. The remaining two guns were arranged in a cross arrangement, from the left and right sides at the same time.
However, no matter how good the design is, it can't hide the problems in its application. Because of the blocking of the superstructure, only in the front and rear two gun emplacements, only 4 guns were available. Similarly, there was one battery on each side, and although they were arranged crosswise, only six of the three batteries faced one side at the same time**. Despite this, the "Invincible" remained the most powerful ** of its time. Its unique gun design, double-layer bottom structure, and heavy side armor give it extremely high vitality and combat effectiveness.
Overall, the "Invincible" class battleship is a new type of battleship full of power and innovation, and its advent will revolutionize the war at sea. It represents an era and a country's scientific and technological strength. In the depths of the deep sea, a small cabin is hidden. At the bottom of the "Invincible", there is a secret warehouse, which stores a large number of bullets. At the bottom of the hull, there is also an ingenious drain valve that works wonders in times of crisis, injecting water into the ammunition depot. This seemingly simple setting is actually very knowledgeable. There is no doubt that the gun configuration of the "Invincible" class is very powerful, and it can fully unleash the maximum power of a battleship. However, this arrangement is like a knife of Damocles, the two guns "P" and "Q" in the middle are too close together, and if one gun is exploded, the other two will also be **. Such a potential danger is absolutely devastating for a warship. Compared to the powerful main gun, the "invincible" secondary gun was nothing special, because it was not equipped with a regular secondary gun, only sixteen rapid-fire guns of the 102 mm MK III type, which was considered a supplement. The cannons were carefully placed at the top of the main tower and in the upper part of the building. Of these guns, 8 were located at the top of the main tower, two at the top of each tower; The other 8 seats are distributed in the front and rear superstructures. This 102 mm caliber cannon has a total length of 42 meters, mass 132 tons, its initial speed can be up to 700 m s, it can shoot 1134 kg shells. When launched at an angle of 20 degrees, its maximum distance is up to 8200 meters. Most of the targets are small ships such as torpedo boats of the enemy. However, due to the lack of armor protection, the personal safety of the shooter in combat could not be fully guaranteed.
In addition to this, there was an anti-aircraft machine gun of 76 mm caliber on board the "Invincible". Five 450 mm long torpedo barrels, just like that, quietly lurked at the bottom of the sea, waiting for an opportunity. One torpedo cartridge was mounted in the stern, and the other four were mounted on both sides of the ship, for a total of 14 pieces. The "Invincible" has a very advanced fire control system, which is the first in Britain to be equipped with an electric transmission device**, which can operate the battery. The device is mounted on the mast of the foremast, precise and powerful. When fighting at sea, the lidar made by Barr and Stroud obtains the position of the target, and the data of these positions will be transmitted to Demerique's computer, and then transmitted to the Vickers range clock through an electric current, and then calculate the position, speed and distance of the target, thus laying the foundation for the accurate guidance of the shooters. Changes in the rhythm of the voyage will be shown on the map, so the artillery can use these trajectories to determine the intentions of the destination. In this structure, the sighting system, the launch platform, the control center and the main gun are made up of these components, so that an efficient launch is guaranteed. "In order to increase its speed, the "Invincible" did not hesitate to lose some armor, although it could not be compared with the heavy armor of the battleship, but it was still very strong compared to the armed cruisers of that era, and the total weight of the ship reached four thousand tons, and"Fearless"Compared with the 5,000-ton defense, the material of this ship is a special steel material, that is, a special alloy produced by Vickers, which has undergone a special quenching process, and its strength and elasticity are much stronger than ordinary steel.
