The Rise of the Empire

Chapter 922: A brief history of the Japanese navy ble

Speaking of this matter, I also have to mention the "Mikasa". The history of this buddy is definitely a miracle and wonderful work! It is true that it has the glory as the flagship of the Japanese combined fleet. But as a legendary battleship, the powerful Mikasa blew itself up twice!

After the self-destruction on September 11, 1905, the Mikasa sank... Naturally such a nb, such a representative warship can't just sink like this! Why do you make the Japanese joint fleet majestic? What do you save the Japanese Empire? Therefore, the Japanese government decided to salvage it and restore it, and to serve again before the American "Great White Fleet" came to Japan on October 18, 1908.

However, this matter is not over yet, the Mikasa that blew herself up once felt very upset, and decided to have time to make another big news! At 6:40 pm on October 3, 1912, a fire broke out in the ammunition depot in Shenkaihai, and there was a slight explosion. This time, it did not cause much trouble, but it was in the ammunition depot. A third-class sailor who was burned to death was found in, and the reason for this incident is that there is a saying that the deceased was severely beaten by a veteran, and then could not think about it for a while and decided to play a big...

In addition to the Mikasa, there is another blew star in the history of the Japanese battleship! This is the battleship Hyuga, and this battleship is also an epic-level existence! In terms of the number of self-detonations, people blew themselves up 3 times. From the position of self-destruction, it is particularly artistic and regular... What's even more sighing is that this battleship has achieved another period of its own career because of its self-destruction, a career that turned into an aviation battleship...

This buddy blew himself up three times, and three times were turrets! Just ask if you are afraid? ! Not convinced? ! History On October 24, 1919, the battleship had just been completed for more than a year, the third turret exploded, and then on September 23, 1924, the fourth turret exploded.... (Then look at the order of the turrets, I think, some smart book friends can already guess the next turret to explode, right?) Yes, in a certain irresistible secret force, and the old Japanese navy’s will to explode. Under the blessing, the next explosion is Hyuga’s No. 5 turret...

On May 5, 1942, the No. 5 turret of the Hyuga exploded under popular expectations! This explosion was relatively powerful, and the top cover of the entire turret was lifted off. The reason for the explosion this time is the most obvious. The Japanese navy made a mistake in the loading sequence of the shells during practice. Although the explosion did not kill the Hyuga, it also caused 51 deaths and 11 injuries.

However, at this time, Japan is about to launch an offensive against Midway Island. In order to participate in this large-scale battle, the Japanese Navy Bar, after removing the No. 5 turret, directly sealed the turret with steel plates, and then installed several triple 25mm96 air defenses. The artillery and the No. 22 sea search radar came into battle.

But let’s not say, Hyuga's performance on Midway Island was pretty good. After the defeat of the Japanese aircraft carrier formation, Hyuga used its No. 22 sea search radar even if it found the chaotic Japanese warship, and then assisted the fleet to regroup. At that time, the captain of the battleship Hyuga Matsuda Chiaki also successfully stayed in the "Yamato Hotel" because of his great work. Became the captain of the Dahe.

In addition, this buddy is worth mentioning, that is, he actually lived to be 99 years old and died in 1995. This is a miracle in the history of the Japanese navy! And because the Hyuga exploded, he became one of the candidate targets when it changed to an aviation battleship in the future. Nonsense, one turret was blown up. If you don't change it, who do you change? !

(In fact, if you want to say self-detonation, the navies of all countries have had it. The St. Vincent-class dreadnought of the British Empire had an explosion on July 9, 1917. In World War I, German submarines also experienced explosions. Russian battleships It also exploded in World War I. The US Iowa-class battleship also experienced turret explosions after World War II. On April 19, 1989, the turret b of the battleship Iowa, which was undergoing exercises in the Atlantic Ocean, exploded, killing 47 people. As for the Russian navy? Let’s not talk about the submarines that sunk during the Cold War. Everyone knows that the Kursk blew up... So it’s normal for some accidents or explosions to happen. .But to say it is as frequent as the old Japanese navy. I guess it’s not.)

Checking the time and counting, it is now 1912. The earliest self-destruction in history should have been during the Russo-Japanese War. Now it is a bit late to self-detonate. It's just that the time of self-destruction this time is really awesome.

As for the reason why the Japanese warship exploded? This thing? The Japanese themselves can’t tell them clearly. Generally speaking, they are divided into two categories. Of course, this kind of argument was less. On the other hand, it is because the soldiers at the bottom often receive corporal punishment and severe beatings, which caused some soldiers to think about it, and then made a big news...

In fact, in Ruprecht's opinion, the reason for the self-detonation of the cruiser Akashi is more likely to be the first. First, because of the combat cruise mission, the alert level of the entire warship must be very high. Historically, the Japanese battleships exploded and sank. There was one thing in common ~ lightnovelpub.net~ that was when they were resting in port. For example, when the Mikasa exploded on Sunday. At this time, warships are slack, and some people who can't think of it have a chance to "can't think of it." But when cruising, especially when encountering the US fleet and confronting each other, when the officers and soldiers on the battleship are very vigilant, accidents will not happen.

Then look at the ship Akashi. After all, this ship has been in service for more than ten years, and it is an old-fashioned armored cruiser. The temperature control of the ammunition on the ship is definitely not as good as the new ship behind. And as a small boat with a displacement of less than 4,000 tons, most of it is equipped with high-explosive bombs, and the picric acid charge is as deadly to itself as it is to the enemy... In addition, lingering in the tropics for a long time also increases the possibility of spontaneous combustion of the ammunition. Of course, this is just a guess. I am afraid that no one knows the exact result. After all, everything has sunk into the Pacific Ocean. In the waves!

As for the abuse of recruits by the old Japanese navy or the severe beating of corporal punishment, how to say it, this matter is still quite serious, interested book friends can read "Men's 96 Cannons"~~~. what? You said you can't find it? You can replace the 96 guns with Yamato and try!
