"Can a destroyer have the same firepower as a heavy cruiser? And can it maintain this speed?"

"Yes, the size of his destroyers is conservatively larger than heavy cruisers."

Kaohsiung lowered his head and replied respectfully to the naval admiral in front of him.

Kaohsiung

"Thank you for your hard work, please focus on them next, and deepen your contact if necessary."

After speaking, the Navy Admiral waved his hand and asked Kaohsiung to step back.

"Is he another admiral with special talents? Or does he have the ability to transform the ship girls?"

"interesting."

The admiral of the navy murmured softly while tasting the food.

After helping Xuefeng enter the canal, Wei An returned to the dormitory and started to be busy again.

After getting the strong wind, his heart has been itching, and he wanted to help him quickly. The ship girl completed the transformation

"Clemenceau, let's take a look at your battleship blueprints."

After saying that, Wei An put the slightly modified drawings in his hand on the table and asked his ship girls to come over and watch.

A battleship as slender as Xuefeng was displayed on it.

The length of the ship was 270 meters, and the width of the ship was 270 meters. 31 meters, draft 10 meters.

Standard displacement

: 30-40 knots.

Power system: None.

Main gun: 3 French quadruple 381mm guns (temporary).

Secondary gun: 14 twin 128 high-level guns. )

Air defense: 20 quadruple 20mm anti-aircraft guns (temporarily)

Radar system: None

Anti-submarine: Improved sonar + improved deep projection

Missile system: None

The most important thing is that Clemenceau's battleship has the same hull as Yukikaze. The grooves left on the deck were also covered by steel plates.

During this period, Wei An designed the main hull frame of Clemenceau, which was the main data to be modified after returning this time. Regarding the speed requirements.

After he saw the outrageousness of the deep-sea battleship and gained experience in Xuefeng, his design was a little bolder.

Originally, he was planning to let Clemenceau use the original tonnage. He borrowed the blueprints of the previous Type 1144 cruiser and directly modified it.

However, after returning this time, he found that the golden heavy cruiser could carry more firepower than a normal battleship, and now he still lacked the means to directly defeat Kerry. The standard displacement of Monceau has reached 55,000 tons, but the result is that the power system previously considered for Clemenceau needs to be redesigned.

But now that resources are relatively abundant, Cree can be gradually implemented. Monceau's battleship.

Just like the previous Xuefeng, complete the hull frame of Clemenceau first, and then gradually add other ship equipment on the battleship, because Wei An does not have a better choice of main gun. He can only continue to use Clemenceau's own 4-cell 381mm main gun for the time being. Compared with Yukikaze's more abundant hull, he can install more secondary guns for Clemenceau.

He has arranged for Clemenceau to have four 20mm anti-aircraft guns, but the problem is that Clemenceau's computational burden has increased dramatically, and he needs to find a way to solve this part of the problem.

When Clemenceau built the hull, he already needed to develop radar and computing systems, so he was not worried about not being able to use them.

"Admiral, is this true?"

Looking at the battleship that had changed drastically on the blueprint, Clemenceau asked cautiously.

Just like when Xuefeng first saw the blueprint of his own battleship, he couldn't believe it.

"certainly"

"But Admiral, it’s impossible for a battleship to reach 40 knots, and can it use so many anti-aircraft guns?"

"Should I not use the torpedoes used by Yukikaze?"

"The most important thing is the standard displacement of 55,000. I can't control it."

"And what should be equipped with this empty hull space like Xuefeng? Clemenceau asked his questions one after another.

"Originally, I wanted to ask Clemenceau to run 35 knots, but the power of the deep sea made me know that 35 knots is no longer safe, and I also have the ability to make you run that fast."

"As for torpedoes, it's because the power of Yukikaze's main gun is not enough, so other decapitation capabilities are necessary. The range and power of your main gun are already good, so you don't need torpedoes for close-range attacks."

One of the most important things Vian didn't tell Clemenceau was that he needed to leave all the space that was previously used to install torpedoes for Yukikaze for Clemenceau to place the vertical launch system.

So now you can see that Clemenceau is not just like Yukikaze with only the front deck empty. There are neatly arranged holes on the rear deck of her battleship, and even on the decks on both sides.

Yukikaze's hull has been finalized, and he felt sorry for Yukikaze and couldn't let him dismantle Yukikaze and rebuild it.

So for Clemenceau, he didn't go for a serious giant ship with big guns in the beginning.

Who would play artillery with you within visual range? Even the original main gun used on Clemenceau now is a helpless choice because there is no other alternative.

Even in Vian's eyes, the secondary guns used on Clemenceau are redundant, and the space for the secondary guns can be removed later. It was also the experience he learned from Xuefeng.

When they used their weapons, the shells were not stored in the battleship, but converted through resource storage.

Then he should try his best to make use of the space of the battleship, the largest weapon, and it’s okay if a launch unit is damaged, there are no shells inside, so if it’s broken, it’s broken.

So this time, the space reserved for storing resources and the power system inside the Clemenceau battleship has been increased.

Because it is not as easy as Xuefeng to make this battleship run at 40 knots.

And he can also try to develop rockets with these holes, which are usually placed under the deck and released when used.

To a certain extent, it can replace the secondary guns and provide saturated close-range firepower.

With enough anti-aircraft guns, the main guns can be used to engage in long-range combat, and saturated firepower can be used at close range.

"The problem of displacement is easy to solve. Isn't it easy for Yukikaze to control a 10,000-ton destroyer now? So Clemenceau doesn't have to worry"

"As for what these holes are used for, it's a little secret for now. It's not that the admiral won't tell you, but he's afraid.."

Ge Yu covered his mouth and pointed to the next room.

"Before we have enough strength, we all have to be careful. It would be bad if we are targeted by others."

"As for why we have to install so many anti-aircraft guns for you, you can’t always have an aircraft carrier by your side, and the presence of the deep sea is also erratic."

"So both you and Xuefeng need stronger air defense capabilities."

"Especially since your battleship is inherently a bigger target than Yukikaze and more vulnerable to damage."

There is one thing Wei An didn't say in his heart. As a teammate of Xuefeng, you can't be too careful.

In the past, it didn't matter if he only had Xuefeng, but now that Clemenceau wants to go sailing, Clemenceau also has to talk about metaphysics. There is a greater chance of injury.
