The battle frigate, Battlefrigate, was Lorraine's first attempt to add his own understanding of naval warfare to the existing technical system of the sailing era, or more accurately, later generations' understanding of naval warfare.

Its design predecessor was the famous battlecruiser in World War II. It was of sufficient size and tonnage to be able to fight battleships, and to respond quickly in battles on the battle line. It formed a rapid group independently or in groups to fight the enemy. A special ship that is harassed at the head or end of the line.

Lorraine remembered clearly that Fisher, the father of the battle cruiser, commented on the battle cruiser: this high-speed armored ship can suppress anything floating on the sea. From the data point of view, they are actually high-speed battleships.

It is true that it is impossible to build a real battlecruiser in the era of wooden sailboats, and there is no such ship class as a cruiser in this era.

The classification of wooden sailboats is simple.

Ships above Tier 3 exist for the battle line and are collectively called battleships; ships below Tier 4 are not included in the battle line and are collectively called frigates.

The frigate is a battleship of the fourth to sixth level. According to the different main functions of the frigate, it is called "patrol", "deport" and "escort". Although the translated name is quite similar to the later generations of ships, no matter how it is expressed, The purpose is completely different.

The frigate is not the large warships in the formation, but the non-war or auxiliary warfare affairs such as navigation channels, merchant ships, logistics, etc.;

Destroyer, of course, what she destroys is not a submarine that appears to be haunting, but something that rabbits like pirate ships and smugglers are running around the sea, and battleships can't catch up.

The frigate is a collective term for this type of small and medium-sized ships, as well as a special term for Tier 4 ships. It not only refers to its flagship role in small formations, but also refers to its operational function of defending the flanks of battle lines.

The so-called frigate, gate is the gate, arranged at both ends of the battle line, like a gate, so that the large ships in the [gate] can vent their firepower without distraction.

Therefore, the frigate is a different kind of small and medium-sized ships.

Although theoretically they are not included in the battle line, in fact they are an indispensable component of the battle line.

The major powers generally use the old third-tier ships of the previous generation to be converted into the fourth-tier. In addition to cost considerations, the reason that cannot be ignored is that the generals are unwilling to excessively weaken the frontal power of the battle line.

Only from the results, the 24-pound heavy artillery common to Tier 4 ships in the battle line with strong guns did not match the expectations of the navy generals. On the contrary, its clumsiness and slowness became the battle line. Weak underbelly, with the development of sailing technology, more and more can not be called [door].

Perhaps the source of the Americans’ ideas for designing a new type of pocket battleship is here.

The navy of the new United States is very weak and very weak. This weakness is not only reflected in the professionalism of soldiers and generals, but also in the accumulation of strategy and tactics and the lack of technical fields.

They have never built warships with more than two layers of gun bays, cannot build 32-pound naval guns, have not experienced the baptism of large battle lines, and cannot imagine what they should do in the devastating rain of shells. Kind of reaction.

This means that they cannot design mature and reliable warships above Tier 4.

So they came up with a compromise solution.

If they couldn't build a double-layer gun bay, they focused on a single layer, lengthening and enlarging the standard size destroyer so that it could carry the terrifying recoil caused by the roar of heavy artillery.

The twenty-four-pound artillery did not perform well on the battle line, so they would not want the line. Anyway, the U.S. Navy does not have the extravagant expectation of forming a qualified battle line in the short term.

And without the shackles of the battle line, the new ship can focus on regional defense and small-scale conflicts, faster, more courageous, and firmer, and strive to get a match point in a single ship or small battle group decisive victory, and move forward and retreat freely.

This kind of thinking is exactly the same as the German maritime thinking of World War II, and the data tendency of the new ship is generally the same as that of Bismarck. The only difference is that later generations of Germany can only flop in the small fishing ponds in the North Sea, while the United States has the vast Atlantic Ocean to sail.

At this point, it is destined that two similar ships will have completely different endings. Butler Novel

But Lorraine is not the US Navy after all. He does not need to pay attention to the help and value of a warship to the development of the national navy, let alone the cost-effectiveness.

All he needs is faster, bolder, and stronger.

So he needs a battle frigate.

The pocket battleship is an inferior battleship with the physique of a frigate, while the battle frigate is a superior frigate with the power of a battleship. At the same time, it will also be the most powerful frigate in the history of sailing.

The controversy in the conference room has broken through the roof. Regarding the rhetoric of battlecruisers, the three top seamen are doing their best.

But they always seem to be unable to grasp the point. For this new ocean concept, they are always around the answer, but they are not willing to reach out to touch it.

Lorraine became irritable.

The behind-the-scenes in Boston has not yet been seen. The reason why he will spare a precious day here is not to listen to the increasingly whimsical brains of employees, but to finalize the final appearance of his future flagship.

"Too narrow..." he couldn't help muttering, "Too conservative!"

Bang!

The broad palm of his hand slapped angrily on the table, and the table squeaked in pain, because the palm fell to the ground.

The controversy stopped abruptly.

Lorraine narrowed his eyes and turned to the three masters on the field, clearing his throat.

"You are all the world’s top shipbuilders, and you have a talent that I will never be able to match. But I am a boss and a seaman. Please understand that you are building a ship for me. On the basis of the ship, build a ship that satisfies me and is willing to entrust my life!"

"Now, I tell you the parameters I want, and you find a way to achieve it, and try not to let me hear [Unreasonable] and [Impossible]."

"First, I want high speed. Ships faster than me cannot threaten me, and those that can threaten me cannot catch up with me. Based on the above two points, the tailwind speed cannot be less than 11 knots, and the headwind state cannot be less than Section 3.5."

"Secondly, I want to go fast. When the speed and the wind are similar, I have to freely choose the power to pursue or escape according to the situation on the spot. So she needs to have the top kinetic energy utilization rate, and needs to run faster than the wind most of the time. Faster."

"Third, I want to be flexible. Turn around in place for no more than 20 minutes, and the minimum turning radius cannot pass three hulls. As long as the water depth is appropriate, she should have navigability in any type of hydrological environment, including but not limited to the strait, Huge waves, reefs and shallows."

"Fourth, I want firepower. To completely suppress Tier 4 ships, a single-ship duel is not weaker than Tier 3 ships, it must have the ability to sink the opponent, and there are many options, and it must be easy to do."

"Fifth~lightnovelpub.net~ I want to be strong. It is still the level of the fourth-tier ship and the third-tier ship. The distance of 50 meters must be able to withstand the direct attack of the 24-pound gun, and the 32-pound can not be crushed, you I have to give me the confidence to start a death fight at a critical moment."

"Sixth, I have to be tenacious. In the future, no one can guarantee that I will not fall into the trap of a first-class or second-class ship. Faced with such a sea monster with a high freeboard, I have to survive the first round or even the first three. The wheel is full of shelling ability. Only by surviving in **** can I turn around and flee, taking advantage of all the advantages mentioned above."

After speaking all the words in one breath, Lorraine took a deep breath, letting fresh air infiltrate his lungs and clear his mind.

He laughed for the first time, and he laughed extremely sullenly.

"The above are all my requirements, gentlemen. Not accepting the unreasonable and impossible, and fulfilling them is your only task today!"

"So gentlemen, please rack your brains and start thinking, I'm waiting for you."
