Yesterday, Hanhai Wolf Mountain said that the basic full tonnage of the new generation platform should be between 13 and 150,000 tons, if the unconventional platform really has 150,000 tons, then it is almost twice as large as the 80,000 tons, plus the heavy unconventional furnace compartment, there must be a much larger draft than the current one. As a result, some people are worried that if a large number of ships equipped with such a large tonnage are equipped with such a large number of ships, they will face the big problem of not being deep enough to enter and leave the port normally. This kind of thinking is indeed very necessary. In fact, the superpower navy has long faced the problem of insufficient depth of port berths and main access routes. For example, during the demonstration of the Ford class at the end of the last century, it was called a new platform project for the 21st century. During this period, he fully used his brain to demonstrate a variety of platforms from 20,000 tons to 600,000 tons, some of which were purely imaginary. After all, it goes without saying that it is a warship so far, even the largest civilian giant ship does not exceed 600,000 tons, but since it is a theoretical argument,
Nature can be completely unrestricted. However, after demonstrating dozens of different theoretical models of tonnage, it was found that the median of the platform of 15 to 250,000 tons is basically 180,000 to 200,000 tons, and the comprehensive efficiency is the highest as a new generation of maritime aviation ships. A 180,000-ton super platform is basically equivalent to the combat effectiveness of three 100,000-ton Nimitz-class late-stage batches. For a global superpower, it is enough to have 5 to 6 such super platforms, and there is no need to build 8 to 12 more, which is time-saving and labor-saving. However, in addition to the power problem of the 18 to 200,000-ton super platform, the biggest limitation is that there is no existing port in North America with the water depth and size to accommodate this kind of giant ship, and what is more troublesome than the port is that the maximum water depth of all the entry and exit channels in North America is only about 15 meters, and the draft of the 200,000-ton ship itself has exceeded 15 meters. If normal entry and exit are to be achieved, then the channel must be dug 18 to 20 meters deep.
Then the overall investment will require trillions of dollars. For the continent's increasingly dilapidated infrastructure capabilities, it's a fantasy. Therefore, the final Ford class, compared with the later batch of the Nimitz class, the tonnage is only a few thousand tons, and the maximum draft after finalization will not exceed 13.5 meters, so it is barely suitable for the maximum safe water depth of the superpower mainland and several overseas home ports. If the new platform of another large country is generally 150,000 tons, then the maximum draft should be about 14 meters, and there is no problem in entering and exiting the main home port. Because of the world's 20 to 25 meter super waterways and major deep-water berths. More than 90 percent of them are here! And several major super-military ports are shared with these super-waterways of more than 20 meters. Needless to say, the maximum is 150,000 tons, but there is no problem in the final realization of 20 to 250,000 tons. This is the natural strategic benefit of the world's largest infrastructure capacity and massive overseas trade. In addition to the mainland, the Suez Canal,
As well as the access channels of several key straits near the equator, all of which can normally pass 200,000-ton fully loaded ships. Naturally, it is also possible to safely pass through a 150,000-ton aviation ship. As for the Panama Strait, because of the natural restrictions of the locks, it has not been possible to pass through any regular aviation giants, so naturally there is no need to squeeze hard. Therefore, the 150,000-ton platform itself can be deployed around the world. As for the overseas home port, it is an ultra-long-term plan. Once the location is determined, it is not a big deal for the infrastructure maniac!
