Chapter 262
Although the waiting time was only more than a minute, it was also very tormenting, because Bai Lixiu knew that sinking an aircraft carrier was much more difficult than sinking a warship, so a ton of TNT exploded underwater In fact, Bailixiu has no idea whether he can bomb the aircraft carrier of the Shenmi Army. After all, Bailixiu is doing this for the first time and has no experience. It all depends on theory.

But fortunately, the Korean War started relatively early, and its aircraft carriers were all old aircraft carriers from World War II. It would be even more difficult to sink if you wait another ten years or so until the combined power aircraft carrier of the 60s Mi Army enters service.

You must know that the joint aircraft carrier will not sink even if it is riddled with missiles.The combined aircraft carriers that the Mi Army has served for more than ten years have a displacement of about [-] tons. The hull is very strong and has excellent anti-sinking performance.Large aircraft carriers have a solid hull, strengthened internal structure, and excellent anti-sinking performance.

Take the Nimitz-class combined aircraft carrier of the US Army as an example. Its hull is an integral watertight structure consisting of two layers of shells inside and outside.The inner shell is composed of steel armor and Kevlar armor-compliant protective armor plate, which can protect important parts such as power cabin, oil tank, and ammunition cabin.

The flight deck and hangar of the Nimitz aircraft carrier are protected by 23 mm thick Kevlar armor. There are four longitudinal bulkhead anti-torpedo structures on both sides below the waterline, and [-] watertight lines along the length of the ship. In addition, there are ten fire-proof partition walls.

The hull of the Nimitz-class aircraft carrier is divided into more than 2000 watertight compartments to ensure the sinkability of the entire ship.The Mi Army has done experiments. The hull of the Nimitz-class aircraft carrier can withstand more than five heavy torpedoes and more than fifteen anti-ship missiles without sinking.Of course, if it suffers such a major blow, even if it does not sink, the aircraft carrier will be scrapped on the spot and needs to be towed back to the home port for overhaul.

In the world before Bailixiu crossed over, the Mi Army conducted a live-fire strike test to sink a retired aircraft carrier in [-].The object of the test was the Kitty Hawk-class large conventional aircraft carrier with a displacement of [-] tons. It was built and served in [-] and retired in [-].Ten years after retiring from service, the Mi Army decided not to dismantle the aircraft carrier, but to use it for live ammunition shooting as a target ship for sinking tests.

The Mi Army used various advanced weapons, and the aircraft carrier carried out a series of live-fire attack tests in the air, surface and underwater.After 25 days of indiscriminate bombing, the aircraft carrier slowly sank to the bottom of the sea.

However, the aircraft carrier sank after withstood 25 days of indiscriminate bombing, which is not of strict reference significance.Because this live ammunition explosion test is arranged one after another, divided into multiple strike waves, each bombing project needs to be carefully evaluated, and the weapon attack is not continuous.

In addition, the aircraft carrier under attack was in an empty state, the interior had been emptied, there was no fuel and ammunition normally loaded, and there was no martyrdom in actual naval battles, so it was very resistant to blows.

In actual combat, after an aircraft carrier is hit by a missile, it is likely to cause a mixture of fuel to explode, or the ammunition to explode. This is the main reason why the aircraft carrier was sunk.

However, modern navies have developed a complete set of naval damage control measures. For example, there are 10 damage control teams on the Nimitz-class aircraft carrier, equipped with large-spray foam fire-fighting devices, and the water pump equipment can be adjusted within [-] minutes. Fifteen degrees of heel of the hull.It is not uncommon for the damaged warship to control the injury or even regain combat effectiveness if the crew has undergone strict training and responded properly.

While it's not easy to completely sink a supercarrier, it's not that difficult to take a carrier out of combat.If the flight deck is damaged due to the explosion and fire caused by the missile hitting the deck, the carrier-based aircraft cannot take off and land, and the aircraft carrier will lose its combat capability.

However, in order to deal with this situation, the Mi Army has created a lightning fighter that can take off and land vertically in the 21st century.

Although this kind of vertical take-off and landing fighter looks very tasteless, after all, the vertical take-off and landing fighter cannot take off with a large load due to engine power, and can only take off with a small amount of fuel and ammunition.

However, it is a very useful technique when encountering the situation that the first aircraft carrier is damaged, and this kind of take-off and landing does not need to run, so all the fighters on the aircraft carrier can be released in a short time There is no pressure at all.

However, what Bailixiu has to face now is not those joint-powered aircraft carriers more than ten years later, so after Bailixiu waited nervously for a minute and a half, Bailixiu finally saw the scene he wanted to see up.

I saw a wave of water suddenly appeared on the surface of the water that spread towards the surroundings. Immediately afterwards, the tens of thousands of tons of aircraft carriers parked at Fushan Port seemed to have risen a little, but as they were severely crushed by the strong gravity, I pressed it back.

What Bailixiu didn't expect was that after a ton of TNT exploded like this, there was no other movement.

Seeing such a result, Bailixiu was filled with disappointment. It seemed that the explosives she carried were too little. If she brought a ton or two more, she might be able to sink it.

However, just when Bailixiu thought that the mission would fail, a raging fire broke out on the aircraft carrier, and there was a violent explosion accompanying the fire.

In just a few dozen seconds, the fire that was originally only in the middle of the aircraft carrier wanted to spread to both sides, and even the sea near the aircraft carrier was covered with fire.

Seeing this situation, Bai Lixiu naturally understood that the fuel on the aircraft carrier should have been ignited when the bomb planted on the bottom of the aircraft carrier exploded.

Although the fuel on the aircraft carrier is either heavy oil for the aircraft carrier itself or diesel or aviation kerosene for fighter jets, although these oils are not as easy to ignite as gasoline, the high pressure and high temperature generated by the explosion of a ton of TNT can still easily ignite it.

Otherwise, gas stations would not explicitly ban fireworks, and the difficulty of igniting does not mean that it is impossible to ignite, but its ignition point is relatively high compared to gasoline.

Of course, the most important thing is that this is still a conventionally powered aircraft carrier, so the fuel contained in it must be at least five to six thousand tons. As far as Bailixiu knows, the Kitty Eagle class with a displacement of [-] to [-] tons is conventionally powered. The amount of fuel carried by the aircraft carrier exceeds [-] tons.

Of course, the aircraft carrier Bailixiu bombed is naturally a lot of Kitty Hawk-class aircraft carriers, and it should be the Sussex-class aircraft carrier with a displacement of [-] to [-] tons.

But even so, the fuel carrying capacity of this aircraft carrier will not be less than [-] tons, and this does not include the aerial bombs and ammunition placed on the aircraft carrier to supplement fighter planes.

No, when the entire aircraft carrier was surrounded by fire, the sound of explosions on the aircraft carrier became more and more intense. There is no way that the high temperature generated when the fuel is burned is not low, and it must be at least a thousand degrees.

Except for the incendiary bombs, the bombs on the aircraft carrier are basically filled with TNT that has stable performance and will not explode easily. However, no matter how stable the TNT is, its detonation temperature is only 240 degrees. It can withstand thousands of degrees of flame barbecue. !
