What is the principle of Bismarck s dome design

Personally, I think it is the Prince of Wales, because Bismarck's design idea is mainly the high speed of small cannon heavy armor (as far as Bismarck's birth era is concerned), and it can't catch up with it, and it can't run away if it can't beat it. But the reasons for Bismarck's relationship with the Prince of Wales, I think are as follows. 1. The problem of light projectile lightness.

In terms of muzzle velocity, the German 380 naval gun is indeed not weak, but it is really compared to the French Richelieu 381, in fact, it has not been surpassed. On the other hand, battleships often emphasize straddle firepower, so the weight of the bullet and the storage capacity are important factors in whether it can effectively ram through the horizontal armor of large surface warships. 2. Speed problems.

In the year Bismarck was launched, the speed was no problem. But soon the speed of the large surface warships of the British Navy caught up with and surpassed. In this regard, Bismarck has little chance.

3. The problem of air defense capability. Compared with the German army's 40-mm ping-pong guns, the FLAK18, which was always a problem, the Germans were more or less struggling. It should be noted that although the Prince of Wales let the Japanese plane sink into the fish, Bismarck was stunned to let the old walrus with wings released by the British aircraft carrier fish to the steering gear, which has to be said to be a more painful experience.

And it was precisely because the torpedo fish reached the servo that it led to the final siege. 4. The controversial design of the dome armor. It's hard to say how much of a threat the Vault will be able to withstand the bombardment of a ship of the same ship at a distance, but one thing is certain, and that is the consumption of a huge and valuable amount of displacement tonnage.

Therefore, as far as the giant ship empires including Britain and the United States are concerned, they would rather adopt centralized protection, and even the British army played the design of all the main guns in front, but they were also forced to make concessions between the pros and cons. The counter-example is the German Scharnhorst class, although Scharnhorst is a battle patrol after all, and falling under the guns of a battleship is not a mistake. But it has to be said that the design of the all-dome armor may do more harm than good.

The boat is a good ship, but it is not prominent in the ship of the 30s.

The Germans had not built a large battleship for 20 years, which led to a lot of technical gaps, and many designs were still World War I ideas.

The advantage of the main gun is that it has high accuracy, but it does not use heavy ammunition like Britain and the United States, nor does it use drugs like France and Italy, so its power is very unsatisfactory.

The protection still follows the pre-World War I dome armor design and comprehensive protection, which is stronger than most old ships, but due to the design of comprehensive protection, it is equipped with 30,000 tons of armor with a displacement of more than 50,000, the thickness of the main installation is not high, or vertical armor, and the mine protection cabin is also behind the underwater armor.

In general, if the battleships are divided into ex-Jutland and post-Jutland, Bismarck is almost the best among the ex-Jutlands, but relatively low in the post-Jutlands.

Adopting the backward comprehensive protection idea of World War II, the area of the main armor belt is too large (320 main equipment is only one of them, and part of the chicken rib 145), the thickness is insufficient, and the vertical installation, the horizontal protection is weak, the unreasonable design of the dome armor makes the ammunition depot directly located under the dome, the turret, the turret protection is also weak, the TDS liquid tank is directly connected to the inner wall, and there is a 37 hand machine, the air defense capability is low, in general, the German shipbuilding technology is good, but the design is backward.

It was a very powerful at the time, sinking the famous HMS Hood of the British Royal Navy when finally evading the pursuit of the Allies, and finally sank and damaged several ** ships while losing power, and was finally sunk by a torpedo.

At that time, the level of the ship was very high, the armor was thick, the firepower was fierce, and in the end, it was sunk by the Allies with the tactics of a sea of people.

Schematic diagram of the Bismarck's armor.

To put it simply. The Bismarck class of German 3 is to turn out the Bavarian drawings of German 2, cut 100 of the 250 top and spread it on the dome armor, and cut 30 of the 350 main load and spread it to the level. So the shortcomings of the Bavarian class, the weak protection of the B, C turret seats, the turret brain, and the underwater defense of naked running, were inherited.

So why is Desan so stupid?

Because the data of the Nelson-class 16-inch gun obtained by De San was wrong, according to De San's estimate, Bismarck's arrangement of 320 main equipment + 110 dome armor even had to swing the course angle to withstand Nelson's 16-inch shells.

The Germans believed that the old man could penetrate the 145mm tops + 110mm dome armor at a distance of more than 30km, the 145mm tops + 80mm horizontal armor at a distance, Bismarck's 320 main armor + 110 68 degree dome armor at a distance, the 50mm + 80mm horizontal protection combination at a distance, and the 340mm artillery mount armor at a distance.

What does this mean? It means that the Germans themselves believe that Bismarck has no immunity zone in front of the old man.

So why did the Germans design a ship like the Bismarck? There's no immunity zone at all! Was it for the British? I think the Germans miscalculated at the time.

This Nima. The British said you were exalting me too much!

As for the gun, the SK C 34 380 was originally planned to be a high-speed light bullet 800kg 865mps, but it was broken for some reason when it was on the ship, and it became a medium-speed light bullet 800kg 820mps, and it turned out to be the worst one in the new 15 inches of World War II.

As for the level, let's go back and forth with Nagato's overhaul.

How strong was this battleship in WWII? One against 40 warships, plus 2 aircraft carriers.

The cost of a 50,000-ton ship is more than twice that of a 70,000-ton ship.

The strongest ace battleship other than Yamato Iowa.

In terms of single-ship combat capability, the Bismarck-class battleships were the strongest in World War II, with huge tonnage, excellent armor protection, the fastest rate of fire with main guns, and top speed. The Italian Veneto-class battleships were inferior to the Bismarck in all respects, there was no suspense at all. Compared to the Japanese Yamato-class battleships, the Yamato-class had the largest tonnage, the thickest armor, and the thickest main guns, but the speed and rate of fire of the main guns were slower.

Another comparable is the American Iowa class, which has a tonnage similar to that of the Bismarck, the fastest speed in the history of battleships, excellent gun performance, advanced electronics and powerful anti-aircraft firepower, but in order to pass through the Panama Canal, the Iowa class was designed to be elongated, which affected its hull stability.

Japanese Yamato-class battleship.

But the fate was miserable. Yamato-class battleships though powerful back.

However, it was born at an opportune time, and it coincided with an era when the status of battleships began to be replaced by aircraft carriers, and the Japanese Navy regarded it as the trump card of the final decisive battle, and the combined fleet was not easily used without permission, so it rarely went into battle. In the Battle of the Marianas in June 1944, "Yamato" and "Musashi" were incorporated into a mobile force to cover the aircraft carrier, but they did nothing in the face of the superiority of the US Navy and Air Force. In October 1944, during the Battle of Leyte Gulf, the Musashi was attacked by U.S. planes off the coast of Sibuyan, Philippines, and was hit by 19 torpedoes and 17 bombs and sank, and the "Yamato" was hit and injured by multiple bombs.

On April 7, 1945, the "Yamato" as the flagship of the Second Fleet sailed to the waters of the Okinawa Islands, in an attempt to carry out a suicidal special attack on the landing Allied forces, on the way to the southwest of Kagoshima, Kyushu Island, Japan, by the US aircraft carrier carrier group attack, was hit by 10 torpedoes and 24 bombs, and sank in the process of capsizing.

The displacement and the caliber of the ship's guns were used as important tactical indicators to measure the best of the world. If we ignore the displacement, it is difficult to have a scientific standard to judge the definition of the word "powerful", many "powerful" battleships in World War II were sunk by carrier-based aircraft, and it is not common for battleships and battleships to fight each other, and they are more affected by the battlefield environment, so it is difficult to judge scientifically.

If in doubt, feel free to continue the discussion! Ask questions

There is no doubt that it is Yamato, no matter what it is, the only drawback is that the battery life is slightly lower.

The most powerful battleship in World War II was the German battleship "Bismarck", which is also recognized by the world as the battleship that ranks first in the battleship rankings.

The standard displacement of 41,700 tons, full load displacement of 50,000 tons, the most brilliant record is the sinking of the British elite battle cruiser "Hood" with a standard displacement of 42,000 tons in 6 minutes, shocking the world.

The displacement is like the double weight of a person. People with thick arms and big fists have strong bodies and naturally weigh more.

The caliber of the guns of the battleships was large, the protective armor was thick, the speed was fast, and the displacement was naturally large.

The largest caliber of artillery was the Japanese Yamato-class, with a main gun caliber of 460 mm (18 inches). The protection is also strong, and it is necessary to hit more than 10 bombs and torpedoes to sink.

The guns of other battleships were only 406 mm (16 inches) in caliber, but the protection design was still the strongest in Germany. The American battleships were the best overall level.

The most powerful battleship of World War II should be the Yamato-class from the perspective of ship data, but the two Yamato-class ships were sunk by the US fleet without any actual combat data, but in any case, the overall performance of the Yamato-class is there, and it is estimated that the actual combat will not be much worse.

The Bismarck-class battleships of Nazi Germany were the most powerful battleships of World War II.

Bismarck, but was quickly sunk.

Bismarck, but in the first battle he was sunk.

Representatively, the German battleship Bismarck, the American battleship Missouri, the Japanese battleship Yamato, each with its own special advantages of the good spleen of the battleship Bismarck is that the firepower is sufficient, eight huge caliber cannons, the advantage of the battleship Missouri is armor protection and speed of 33 knots, and the advantage of the battleship Yamato is the thickness of the armor.

Bismarck in Germany! It didn't go well from the beginning of his construction, and he was soon beaten by the group! Sunk ...

Compared with the German Bismarck battleship and the Japanese Yamato battleship, if you compare the data of a single ship separately, the Yamato must be more powerful, because, during World War II, the battleships of all countries in the world were designed to carry the large-caliber main guns on the ship, in the hope of sinking enemy ships at a longer distance. The German Bismarck's main guns were 380 mm with a total of eight, while the main guns of the Yamato were four with four mm guns. It can be said that the Yamato is completely superior to the Bismarck!

The battleship Bismarck was the lead ship of the Bismarck-class battleships built by Nazi Germany at the Hans Blom shipyard before World War II. Construction began in July 1936, launched in February 1939, and commissioned in August 1940, making it the largest tonnage and most technologically advanced battleship in Germany at that time. On May 26, 1941, the Bismarck was torpedoed and sunk by warplanes taking off from the British aircraft carrier HMS Ark Royal.

The battleship Bismarck, with a length of meters, a width of 36 meters, a maximum draft, a standard displacement of 41,637 tons, a full load displacement of 50,300 tons, a maximum speed knot, and a maximum endurance of 8,500 nautical miles. Equipped with 8 380mm guns, 12 105mm secondary guns and 36 machine guns, the ship was one of the famous battleships of World War II.

Battleship Bismarck.

Japan's battleship Yamato is one of the largest super battleships in the history of battleship construction for the Imperial Japanese Navy and the world's naval battleships.

When the Yamato was built, it had a standard displacement of 65,000 tons, a trial displacement of 69,100 tons, and a full load displacement of 72,808 tons. The ship is armed with 9 460-mm main guns, 18 125-mm secondary guns and 96 machine guns.

The total length of the hull is 263 meters, the waterline is 256 meters long, the perpendicular length is 244 meters, the ship width is meters, the waterline is wide meters, the depth is meters, the average draft (sea trial) meters, and the average draft meters at full load. On April 7, 1945, the battleship Yamato was sunk by U.S. planes 50 nautical miles southwest of Kyushu, Japan, during the Battle of Okinawa.

Battleship Yamato.

There is no doubt that Yamato will win, except for the speed of Yamato and a little slower, the other indicators Yamato is overwhelming, Yamato's fire control is much better than imagined (once hit the destroyer Johnston and hit multiple rounds of straddle shots), the cornering performance is also very strong (nimble fat man), Japan's VH armor has a quality advantage in large thickness, to sum up, although Yamato and Bismarck are both battleships, but not at all a class.

First of all, you have to know that both of them are used for war, but war is not as simple as comparing two things and fighting, and the firepower of the battleship is better than that of the Bismarck class. But would the Japanese use such a battleship as the Yamato-class to disrupt the sea lines of communication? It's a hassle to resupply and maintain it all at once!

The Bismarck-class was a battleship, but it was used more to disrupt the Anglo-French lines of communication than to a large-scale decisive battle! The Japanese are an island nation, and they must focus on developing their navy Most of the steel imported by Japan into the United States is used in the construction of the navy and air force, so you have to let them assume that the Yamato-class will win in a big war. However, the German army's naval scientific and technological strength will not be worse than that of the Japanese Some people say that the Yamato is the main gun of the 460, and the German army is the 380, which is not even as powerful as the British and American 406, but this does not mean that Germany cannot make such a ** The German army's railway gun is an example, and what kind of 360-800 mm Gustav can not build a 460 naval gun?

So stop making such pointless comparisons!
