Although they still want to maintain the dignity of the empire that the sun never sets, the British people are living very hard now, the domestic inflation continues, and the people are increasingly dissatisfied with life. At this time, the large investment in the navy is simply ruling. Nightmare of the writer.
Among them, the aircraft carrier is a money-burning thing. Therefore, British politicians do not want to engage in an aircraft carrier at all. It is best to retire as soon as possible!
However, Nathan's lofty ambitions have become so popular all over the world, and the theory of aircraft carrier uselessness seems to have begun to change again. At least, look at American aircraft carriers and carrier-based aircraft. They are so handsome! As a big country, how can the UK not
Nathan is just an ordinary naval pilot, but now he is involved in a battle between the British government and the navy. The government, headed by the prime minister, wants to eliminate the aircraft carrier, and the navy wants to fight for its own opportunities.
Nathan's arrival was just a wedge, but it made the contradiction between the two parties public.
Of course, the government is the decision-maker, and the army must listen to the government. If the navy’s budget is not approved, the navy will have nothing to do with it. However, if Nathan can be honestly and indecently approved, the aircraft carrier is useless. This is even more reason. Up.
Now the one who provokes Nathan is the British Prime Minister, Leonard James Callahan. Of course, he should be called Baron Callahan on this occasion.
In the eyes of Baron Callahan, what use are those aircraft carriers? They are all living coffins that move on the sea, wasting taxpayers' money, and building such things is purely stupid and a lot of money.
In terms of status, Baron Callahan is a nobleman. Although Nathan is known globally, he is a civilian. In terms of status, he is the prime minister, and the opponent is just a navy pilot.
Therefore, on this occasion, he brutally abused him and killed the navy's prestige, so that the British navy knew that since he was in power, he should not even think about engaging in an aircraft carrier.
However, Baron Callahan forgot. Here, no one introduces Nathan to Nathan. Nathan doesn’t know that the short fat man in front of him is the British Prime Minister at this time. Besides, Lao Tzu is an American and your master. I am afraid of you. Why
Since someone came to ask him to blast his mouth, of course he had to go back.
"A living coffin on the sea?" Nathan said, "I don't know if you understand the military, and if you like the Soviet Union's short fat man like the missile victory theory, think that in front of the missile, everything can be killed. I only know that the missile can't solve it. All the problems, most of the time, you still need a bayonet to be popular. This is the case on the Vietnam battlefield."
On the Vietnam battlefield, the theory of missile victory has been beaten. The Sparrow missile is good under test conditions. In a real war, it is like an uncontrolled rocket.
You are a theoretical school, and Lao Tzu is a real combat school. Your theories, just use them!
"At that time, our fighter plane was equipped with eight missiles. As a result, it couldn't even get the Soviets' hair. In the end, we had to use the machine gun." Nathan continued: "The same is true for anti-ship missiles at sea, and the Soviet Union is still used. For people, if they want to launch missiles, they must first break through the defense line composed of our Tomcat fighters. With the fleet as the core, within a radius of six hundred kilometers, the Soviet ships can't get in at all. How can they launch missiles? ?"
"Yes, Tomcat is invincible." When the prince on the side heard Nathan's words, he immediately yelled.
"No, no weapon is invincible. Only by continuous development and continuous improvement can we continue to adapt to war." Nathan continued: "As far as I know, the Royal Navy has exactly this tradition."
Nathan emphatically said the word royal, and nominally, the army belongs to Her Majesty the Queen.
"Once, the warship with the Pozi flag cruised in every corner of the world. It was because of the unremitting efforts of the navy that the British glory was achieved. If it weren't for World War II, the British navy would still be the powerhouse of this era. "Nathan said: "The British Navy has always been inheriting and innovating. Apart from anything else, all the aircraft carrier technologies we use now come from the British Navy."
"The Ark Royal is the pride of the British Navy." Nathan continued: "This warship is the first aircraft carrier in the world to have a catapult and angled deck when it enters service, and it is also the first in the world. An aircraft carrier with an optical landing assistance system. The wonderful shots in the movie, my catapult takeoff, and my landing were all invented by the British Navy."
"Without the catapult technology, angled deck technology, and optical assisted landing technology invented or applied by the United Kingdom, there would be no current American super aircraft carrier, without an aircraft carrier, there would be no carrier-based aircraft, and without a carrier-based aircraft, there would be no 500-kilometer aircraft. The defensive circle, without a five-hundred-kilometer defensive circle, there would be no safety of the fleet. Those anti-ship missiles of the Soviets would send the fleet to the bottom of the sea at any time. Do you understand these?"
"Wow, wow, wow." Half of the men present raised their hands and applauded. Even Admiral John and Major General Wuward, who were wearing military uniforms, came with Nathan and applauded.
aweason!
The aircraft carrier used for fixed-wing fighters is the core of the water fleet and can protect the safety of the fleet. You are a high school graduate who has never attended a university, know what a shit!
"The army serves politics and serves the country. Now, the British economic situation is in a mess. How can it have enough capacity to maintain a huge navy? Especially for warships like aircraft carriers, which are extremely money-burning?" Callahan's face rose. The bright red said to Nathan: "You said I don't understand military or aircraft carriers. Okay, I admit, I don't understand, but I understand the economy, and I know the country can't afford it."
Baron Callahan was completely angry. Well, I just don't understand, but I know that the country has no money and can't afford it.
At the same time, he also said this to the applauding army guys around him. Don't think it makes sense to say it nicely. I tell you that the reduction of aircraft carriers is unchangeable. No matter what method you use, the country will not support aircraft carriers!
Yes, this is their attitude. The Royal Ark is about to be decommissioned, and there is no new one.
Is Invincible? It's not.
In 1963, the Navy proposed the CVA-01 attack aircraft carrier construction plan, intending to build 4 attack aircraft carriers to replace the remaining 3 light aircraft carriers and fleet aircraft carriers.
As a result, the high cost of the above sentence forced the Navy to bow its head.
After the CVA-01 aircraft carrier construction plan was stranded, the British Navy played a "word game" and proposed the famous "anti-submarine command cruiser" plan.
In 1967, the British Navy designed a type of anti-submarine cruiser equipped with sea javelin missiles, capable of carrying 6 Neptune anti-submarine helicopters, and a full load displacement of 12,500 tons.
After further research and demonstration, the British Navy found that if the number of helicopters carried was increased to 9, the flight deck was changed to a full-through type, and elevators were added, the combat capability of the ship would be greatly improved.
When the Ministry of National Defense finally reported the plan, it deliberately described the "anti-submarine cruiser" as a warship similar to the Tiger cruiser, and finally passed the budget review and started construction.
After going through hardships, it is almost the same as the Soviet Union. (The British Navy cry, the baby does not cry, think about the future generations of the Queen Elizabeth aircraft carrier, it is a joke.)
Without money, what do you make? no way!
"I don't understand economics." Nathan also had anal sex with the man in front of him: "However, I know that the way to maintain the economy by restricting workers' wage increases is simply a stupid and incorrigible way." (this chapter Finish)
