In World War II, the Air Force was already the mainstream of naval warfare, and ours was also modified many times in order to better adapt to the new combat environment. Besides, during World War II, when fighter jets were popular, the defense performance of the first was the key to their survival. By that time, the surface fleet centered on heavy artillery and **, coupled with **air defense**, would simply be a layer of arhats.
At that time, the strategic deployment consisted of multiple radar and command system operated anti-aircraft guns, and with such power, it was difficult for previous dive bombers and torpedo fighters to penetrate the air defense network. This is a great danger for them, in which case neither missiles nor torpedoes will play a big role. After World War II, the development of fighter planes undoubtedly brought a considerable impact on the confrontational posture. As time went on, the gap in strength between the two sides grew, and the air power of the US Navy did not relax in the slightest. At critical times, the outer float must be sacrificed, and the heavy artillery, as the backbone, has a strong defense and survivability.
For example, our heavy battleship 82 was armed with six double-barreled guns, a total of 12 high-level guns of 130 mm caliber. The original naval guns on the 30 Bis battleship, the three sets of turrets are operated by three CIH-500 automatic aiming systems. Each commander is equipped with a control system and is equipped with a combined imaging optoelectronic ranging system with a baseline width of 4 m. The power of this gun should not be underestimated, it can reach an depression angle of 83 °, 200 spare ammunition at 15 rounds per minute. Its exact orientation is: one left and right of the rear chimney, one left and right of the front axle, and two in front of the bridge building. This kind of arrangement is really too clever. As one of the most powerful countries in the world, the 82-class battleships adopted a consistent layout of medium, large and medium guns in the design of their ships, that is, in the face of left-right, frontal and frontal attacks, 4 of the 6 130 mm turrets could simultaneously intercept fire. The same interception can be used for attacks from all directions, so it can be easily adjusted to maximize firepower. However, due to Stalin's high-speed needs, the two 130 mm batteries in the rear were removed, so that only two batteries were blocked directly behind and behind. Similarly, the heavy-to-air** configuration of the Alaska-class cruise ship is essentially the same as that of the 82. It had four 127 mm guns on each side of it on the left and right, and one for each of the other three 127 mm guns. In terms of defensive capabilities, the two sides are not much different. However, the Stalingrad class had an advantage over the "Alaska" because it had two 130 mm guns in the back. On the anti-air **, the destroyer No. 82 was armed with six 45 CM-85-20 "M" anti-aircraft gun turrets of 3 mm caliber. They were divided into three sections, two of which were located on both sides of the front chimney and the other behind the rear bridge. This layout made the 45 mm caliber anti-aircraft guns more effective in frontal attacks than in other directions.
However, because the distance between 45 mm and 130 mm was significant, the 45 mm guns of 45 mm caliber in the back did not help much in the air strikes from behind. In terms of light air defense, 10 6 J-120 4-pack 25 mm self-propelled guns were located in the tail chimney and rear bridge, respectively, and their role was to finally intercept the enemy on the left and right flanks and cover the large bomb area on their flanks. Compared to the "Alaska", the number of medium-diameter anti-aircraft guns was much greater, and the destroyer 82 did not have this capability. First of all, the barrel of this gun is 56 times higher, the bullet density is higher, but the distance is closer. Although there were only 34 70x diameter Erlikon anti-aircraft guns, they were similar in number to the Type 82 and were relatively balanced in layout.
Next is the radar equipped with the -YMC-2, which is a modification of the British No. 291. This new type of radar is generally used to deal with medium and high altitudes, and because of the signal transmission speed, it has a high probability of false alarm. Next is its electronic warfare equipment, among which there are the Kopaji I electromagnetic jammer and the Mayta electromagnetic jammer. In fact, the defense systems of the "Stalingrad" class and the defense systems of the "Alaska" class were quite close in their respective years, both were highly prioritized, and both had a strong air defense force. In actual operations, the air defense operations of the second-class ships also have their own characteristics, and the "Alaska" class has relatively balanced air defense capabilities in all directions, paying attention to reducing the area to be attacked, and meeting the enemy with the smallest projection area. Type 82 heavy cruisers were also supposed to set the expected advance course of the enemy fleet directly in front of themselves as much as possible. In other words, the Type 82 heavy cruiser will pay more attention to observing and confirming the enemy's offensive axis in real time in anti-aircraft operations, and will also pay attention to the offensive entry angles of each aircraft group.
Speaking of which, it is necessary to mention the high defensive performance of the battleship 82. Stalin's excessive pursuit of speed greatly weakened the power of his air defense. If the speed can be reduced to 33 knots, it will not only save two boilers, reduce the cabin area, but also provide more space for the aft mast and aft deck, and can also greatly improve the armor and ammunition reserves. In addition, the X-gun behind the bridge can also be installed with 2 130-mm high-level dual-purpose guns, which will greatly enhance the interception and interception of the stern part of the ship.
In a word, the 82 destroyer combines all the advantages of the aircraft carriers of the Soviet generation and has an absolute upper hand in artillery, radio, optics, etc. Although there are still some flaws, the performance in battle is still very good. As a heavy ship, it plays a great role in anti-aircraft combat, so we must constantly improve and improve it. It is known that our new warship, in terms of air defense, is much stronger than the "Alaska". If our ships are attacked by the Air Force, our mobility will be greatly improved. We have more control over the direction and more ways to dodge, which is a good thing for us! Although there will be some restrictions on our speed, this does not prevent us from striking at NATO patrol forces.
