What are the common formations used in naval warfare?

1. Vertical type. This formation is the earliest and most monotonous, and the advantage lies in the concentration of fire from the flanks. The disadvantage is that it is in the front and rear, it is easy to be surrounded, and it is difficult for the injured ship to evacuate safely.

However, this formation has good cruising performance because it can quickly transform into other formations. Therefore, the fleets of contemporary countries generally adopt this formation when cruising.

2. Slash. The advantages of this formation are: strong mobility, relatively concentrated firepower, good anti-fishing, easy to change formations, moderate balance of front and rear fire, and almost always able to attack the enemy with flank artillery fire.

The disadvantage was that the fire on the flanks was not strong enough, because the firing range was limited. In addition, the technical requirements are very high, and it is difficult to maintain the distance between the front and back.

3. Round. This formation is mainly used for the final defense or encirclement when surrounded, the whole fleet rotates in a circle, and always maintains a flank salvo to bombard the enemy who comes to charge the formation, making it difficult for the enemy to aim and cope with the changing formation, but this can be said to be the highest technical requirements for the fleet commander and the captains.

The most commonly used is the long snake formation, which has the widest firepower but insufficient assault power, and is suitable for fleets with strong firepower and poor mobility;

Erlong out of the water array, suitable for highly mobile fleets.

Say an ancient one: five plum blossom rain showers.

Shi Lang has used it, that is, 5 ships around one to fight!

Qi Jiguang has long said that water warfare is nothing more than fighting small boats with big boats, and fighting less with more!

Modern fleet operations usually have flagships in the middle, supply ships in the rear, destroyers on the outer deck, and frigates on the outermost level.

Position in naval combat refers to the position occupied by the ship when attacking the target with **. Elements include the bearing or porthole of the target, the distance between the opposing sides, and the gunwales of the ship. It is an important condition for a warship to seize an advantageous attack position through observation and tactical maneuvering, which is an important condition for defeating the enemy.

In the era of sailing, having the upper hand had the initiative. In the era of steam ships with naval guns as the main force, seizing the advantageous attack position was the main content of the tactical mobile search of surface ships. Both warring sides are based on the mission, the performance of the opposing ship, and visibility.

etc., occupy the corner where it is difficult for the opponent to exert the full power of artillery fire, and conduct a decisive battle at a distance that is beneficial to oneself and not to the other; The side's broadside angle requires the use of the guns of the whole ship or formation to be able to exert their power throughout the battle, and reduce the impact of waves on shooting aiming. After the appearance of the torpedo, submarines and surface ships use the attack position of the torpedo, requiring the enemy's broadside angle to ensure that the torpedo has a greater probability of hitting, the distance is within the effective range of the torpedo, and the side's gunwales' angle is determined according to the installation of the torpedo launcher. When using rocket-type deep bombs to attack submarines, it is determined according to the range of the rocket and the speed ratio of surface ships to submarines.

When organizing a coordinated attack by a group of ships, it is also required to divide the attack positions of each assault group. With the development of science and technology, ships are generally equipped with automatic computing devices and automatic tracking and targeting systems, torpedoes, missiles have a long range and the ability to automatically guide the target, the requirement of using the first is to strike first at a long distance, the role of the elements of the formation has changed, the attack distance has become the main element, the orientation or angle of the target and the angle of the ship has no great impact.

positions in military exercises; A position relative to the target. It is usually expressed in terms of enemy side angle and friend or foe distance.

In World War II, it was pointed to the side of the enemy, and both front and rear guns could be used.

To put it simply, you can bombard him with the vast majority of ** on your ship, but the enemy cannot.
