Can a large freighter be converted into a frigate or destroyer?

Of course, the general situation is not good, but it depends on what kind of ship, in fact, there are civilian ships and military situations, so that it can not cause too much burden on military spending, and can mobilize these civilian resources to support the war in wartime, but cargo ships are generally converted into transport ships, or logistics supply support ships such as hospital ships, etc., which are a bit far-fetched to use for combat, but they can be used to land Shenma. However, Russia has developed a universal cruise missile, which is stored in a container, which includes a launch system, basically a container is a launch unit, which can fight independently and be loaded on a cargo ship, but the feasibility remains to be studied.

Cargo ships are often converted into aircraft carriers or light aircraft carriers in times of emergency. But there are basically no cases of modified cars, corvettes and destroyers. Because the hull structure is too different.

In order to carry more cargo, the hull of the freighter is wide and the superstructure is small. Frigates and destroyers, on the other hand, need a long and narrow hull to increase their speed. And a large number of superstructures need to be attached.

No, the biggest possibility of a civilian ship is that it is temporarily converted into a *** mothership, a supply ship and other ships that do not have high requirements for the hull, as long as you add equipment.

Professional ships are not played, but the overall structure, engine, linear, and circuit layout are all different.

This ......First, there is no armor, the protection is too weak, and the ability to resist strikes is too weak to survive.

Second, the space is limited, and it is difficult to reasonably install large equipment and major equipment.

However, during the war, large ro-ro freighters could be converted into escort carriers or support ships.

Absolutely. It's just that the cost is high, so it's better to build it directly. Because when refitting, the original things need to be dismantled and then welded to the military equipment. Very troublesome.

Of course, it depends on how big the change is. In the past, it was easy to say, but the difference between the current aircraft carrier and the freighter is too big, and the only thing in common is that it is estimated that it can float on the water...

If it is a fixed-wing fighter, now the weight of the combat aircraft is too large, and the deck of the freighter cannot withstand the weight and the high temperature ejected by the engine, so the fixed-wing fighter cannot take off and land.

If it is a vertical take-off and landing fighter and *** can take off and land, so the freighter can be transformed into a *** aircraft carrier!

Yes, in peacetime it is an aircraft carrier, and in a war, it is a collective coffin.

Yes Many aircraft carriers in World War II were converted from ships.

Yes, but it seems like there are a lot of changes.

Yes, the Varyag is.

It is not difficult at all to convert an aircraft carrier to the level of World War II, but what is the use of this? Can confront the luxury aircraft carrier formation of US imperialism?

Young people, there is not a difference between an aircraft carrier and an aircraft carrier!

Both are called cars, Xiali and Rolls-Royce are completely different existences!!

Joke Is the jet deck casually loaded If you want to say that aircraft carriers fly propeller planes now, then I didn't say it.

Except for a few that were built according to military standards but were not armed, most of them could not be changed, and at most they were converted into patrol ships.

Not feasible. Even in times of war, it is not feasible.

The reason why a battleship is called a battleship is because its armor protection and firepower are qualified to line up in a single longitudinal line and shoot at each other on the battle line.

You put a lot of guns on the freighter instead of armor, and the result is a big fireworks that explode at the slightest touch, and go to the enemy to send heads.

It is unrealistic to install additional armor. The whole ship had to be redesigned.

Then there's the issue of speed. You're dragging a large number of slow-moving armed cargo ships, and the result is only to give up a favorable position.

Armed cargo ships can only protect themselves. Scare the small boats that are doing the sabotage attack and hit the submarine that has surfaced.

It is feasible to convert a large cargo ship into an aircraft carrier. Because aircraft carriers can stay at a safe distance. These crispy goods can be used as auxiliary aviation support missions in low-intensity theaters.

It is feasible in wartime, but it is not necessary for a large country like ours in peacetime.

Think about it, the actual situation does not allow it, but it is produced according to military standards, and the high-toughness steel is used, and the civilian rollers are made of ordinary steel, and the structural design of the combat ship has not been considered in the design. Our country was converted from decommissioned destroyers into fire support ships.

Are you asking about the game or the real world?

In modern naval formations, frigates are surface combat ships second only to destroyers in terms of tonnage and firepower, but because of their small tonnage, their self-sustaining power is weaker than that of destroyers, and their ocean-going combat capabilities are inferior to destroyers.

The frigate is small cheap and used to block torpedoes.

The destroyer is large and a bit expensive to use to block missiles.

With the introduction of large warships such as battleships and cruisers on the stage of history, and the increasing size of destroyers, the combat mission of destroyers has also changed. At present, the main mission of destroyers is to serve as the backbone of the fleet's naval strikes and air defense, while frigates undertake auxiliary air defense combat missions and anti-submarine missions

Due to the diversity of tasks and the requirements of adding a variety of high-tech equipment, modern ** has a tendency to become increasingly large, such as destroyers usually have a displacement of about 8,000 tons, which is close to the large and medium-sized cruisers of World War II, and frigates are usually 4,000 tons, far more than early destroyers.

Frigates are very old ships, while destroyers are a new type of ships that emerged after World War II.

Before the division of battleships, cruisers, and frigates, it was generally divided according to the combat capabilities of the battleships (of course, mainly according to the number of guns and the number of battleship floors), except that the main battleship was a frigate. The function of the frigate was to patrol the territorial waters of the country and protect merchant ships, and at that time the frigate itself was also a kind of cargo ship and rescue ship.

World War I and World War II began to rise destroyers, which were small, only a few hundred tons, and mainly carried torpedoes. Later, it was slowly discovered that the attack effectiveness of torpedoes was better than that of artillery below 100mm, and that heavy torpedoes were even better than artillery above 150mm. So the destroyer got bigger and bigger.

More and more torpedoes are capable of carrying. Later, due to the need for anti-submarine operations, depth charges were added to the destroyer; Because destroyers mainly carry torpedoes to attack, their speed must be fast, and anti-submarine ships also need to be fast, so that destroyers can increase their anti-submarine functions. By the middle of World War II, the main naval battle** consisted of battleships, battlecruisers, cruisers, and destroyers.

Battleship cruisers relied on large-caliber artillery to attack, which was the main battle **; Destroyers undertake reconnaissance, anti-submarine, and assault combat missions. By the end of World War II, anti-aircraft machine guns and anti-aircraft guns were added to destroyers, and even specialized air defense destroyers appeared. At this time, destroyers gradually began to become very important all-rounders, anti-submarine and anti-ship air defense.

However, in the era when there were no anti-ship missiles, large-caliber guns were still the absolute main anti-ship force, and even the aircraft carrier was not the opponent of the battleship, if the battleship rushed straight towards the aircraft carrier, the aircraft carrier could only retreat and seek rescue while sending carrier-based aircraft to carry out suicide attacks (this is always used for suicide attacks in the United States and Japan). At the end of World War II, aircraft carriers, battleships and destroyers began to carry out mixed formations, and their combat capabilities were several times greater than that of a single ship class. Battleships became anti-ship combat forces of a defensive nature, and aircraft carriers became long-range anti-ship combat forces.

After the end of World War II, all countries have retired or dormant battleships, which are gold-swallowing beasts, destroyers because they are all-rounders, and gradually began to take on more combat missions, with the emergence of anti-ship missiles, large-caliber artillery has withdrawn from naval warfare, and large battleships such as battleships are no longer needed, and destroyers have become the protagonists of naval warfare.

Modern naval warships can no longer be divided into battleships, cruisers, destroyers, and frigates, but should be divided according to their combat capabilities and operational needs. For example, littoral combat ships, air defense warships (ocean-going and near-sea), anti-submarine mine warships (ocean-going and near-sea), amphibious assault ships (which also serve as command centers), landing combat ships (dockyard beaching), aircraft carriers, and various auxiliary ships. Anti-ship missiles do not occupy much space, and there should be no need for specialized large anti-ship combat ships.

Instead of dividing into destroyers and frigates, it is better to divide them into ocean-going combat ships and littoral combat ships.
