In 1945, the world war that swept the world ended, and the country returned to a relatively stable period, when the top level of Country C decided to develop its own super navy
The development of the navy needs a strong industry as a backing, but the country that has just been looted is poor at this time, so the construction of large docks and large shipyards is completely nonsense, so the top management will turn their attention to Fuso on the other side of the sea
As a defeated country, the large warships left behind by the R navy were confiscated by the victorious powers, and for the victorious countries, these ships would only increase their military expenses, so the top brass of the victorious countries was not very interested in the acquisition of these warships
But this was an unattainable treasure for the impoverished C Navy, and in 1946 the Commander-in-Chief of the C Navy arrived at Kure Harbor to negotiate with the M high-level on the seizure of the R-Nation fleet
Negotiations went fairly well, with the C Navy acquiring one of the world's largest super fleets at the scrap price. But the surprise did not stop there, the C navy borrowed 1 billion yuan from the M navy with some warships as collateral, and at the same time, the M country provided an additional 300 million interest-free loans to the C navy, which will be used for the refit of warships and the construction of shipyards
At the end of 1947, the last warship handed over, the Yamato, arrived at the deep-water port of Dalian, marking a fairly smooth process of the handover of the fleet
The impoverished C Navy now acquired one of the world's largest super fleets, and although these warships still had the shortcomings of obsolescence and lack of maintenance, they were still a powerful force in the Pacific that could not be ignored

V Beiping
The old Kongo-class battleships were not conspicuous in the R fleet, but their low maintenance costs and Shangke's armor and artillery made him the darling of the C Navy's top brass
Therefore, the Kongo class was also one of the first warships to be converted by M-nation engineers
M country engineers have rebuilt the entire battleship
The same power unit of the North Carolina-class battleship was refitted, which made the maximum speed of Peiping up to 34 knots, so Peiping was planned as the flagship of the forward fleet
The old 356mm main gun of the Kongo class could not penetrate the main armor of the new battleships of various countries, so the M engineers planned to replace Peiping with a 380mm main gun made by the French Navy (the same version as the Richelieu class), but at the cost of removing a turret
The old sighting system and ranging system were dismantled and replaced with high-precision new products manufactured by the M-country military factory, which greatly improved the salvo accuracy of the Beiping main gun
However, the cost of the above modifications was that the armor was greatly reduced, and the defense of the entire battleship was significantly reduced
This scheme exists only on drawings for various reasons

VI Jinan
Like the Kongo class, the old Ise class has the advantage of low maintenance costs, so the Ise class is also one of the first modified warships
However, the Ise class received by the C Navy is not the original Ise class, but a modified "air battleship", which can release light aircraft
But in real combat, the rear aviation deck is difficult to take off and land, and due to catapult restrictions, each aircraft can only carry 2 bombs or one torpedo
So the M country engineers focused on modifying the rear aviation deck area
The old hydraulic catapult device was replaced by a cutting-edge steam catapult device, which allowed Jinan to catapult more powerful aircraft and increase the bomb load of the aircraft
The old biplane torpedo aircraft were replaced by new monoplane contracarnated propeller aircraft, which gave the aircraft a certain reconnaissance and air combat capability
The power system was replaced by the same model of the North Carolina class battleship, and although it could not reach the high speed of the 34 knots of The Northern Plain, it was still a light cavalry that could not be ignored in the same class of battleships
The cost of the above modification was that the main gun caliber was forced to change to a small caliber 283mm gun, and the main armor was reduced to a certain extent
Again, this subprogramme exists only on sheets

VII Chongqing
The Nagato-class battleships were fortunate to avoid several naval battles, which left the hull unscathed, its internal facilities unscathed, and the overall state was stronger than that of the previous two old ships
The Nagato-class battleships were not included in the restoration plan because they were not damaged as a whole, and in early 1948, the Nagato-class arrived at the Dalian Shipyard and was refitted there
The modification was also undertaken by the Engineer Division of the M Country
Compared with various types of cutting-edge battleships, the main armor and main guns of the Nagato class have lagged behind, so the focus of this modification is on the main guns and armor
The old 410mm guns on the Nagato class were changed to the same 406mm guns of the South Dakota-class battleships
The useless structure in the upper part of the hull was demolished, and the Type 96 anti-aircraft gun with the performance of the crotch was replaced by the British Forbos 40mm gun
The secondary guns on both sides of the hull were removed, and only the high-level dual-purpose secondary guns in the upper part of the hull were retained
The overall tonnage was greatly reduced after the modification, and these reduced weights were used to increase the thickness of the main armor belt
Therefore, its defensive capabilities have also been limitedly enhanced
Due to the resurgence of war, the refit of this class of warships was not completed, and after the war, it was severely damaged and dismantled
Nagato-class battleship
VIII Wuchang
After the war, the M Navy secretly sold a South Dakota-class battleship to Country C for scrap iron
The performance of this class of warships is extremely excellent, and they have not been damaged, and the overall condition is extremely new
Due to the excellent design of this class of warships, the designers did not make many modifications. In late 1948, the ship arrived at the shipyard in Dalian for modification
The designers removed part of the anti-aircraft gun and secondary gun on board and installed two 6-tube 533mm heavy torpedo launchers on both sides
The tail aircraft catapult was dismantled and replaced with a four-depth charge drop track
Some of the sighting facilities have also been replaced with new equipment
However, with the sudden outbreak of war, in early 1949, the Unfinished Wuchang arrived at Wusongkou and fortified there.
In March, the Wuchang declared an uprising, but due to the destruction of traitors, the Wuchang was forced to sink in Wusongkou in early April, and at the end of April, the Wuchang was completely destroyed

IX Guangzhou
At the end of 1949, the C government purchased a complete set of drawings and samples of the main gun of the 406mm battleship from the M government
In early 1950, drawings and samples arrived at the port of Guangzhou, and the top brass of the C Navy personally attended the handover ceremony
The Guangzhou plant performs small batch experimental imitation of samples
In April 1950, a replica 406mm gun barrel rolled off the production line at the Guangzhou factory
Taking this as an opportunity, the top brass of the C Navy submitted a proposal to design and build a new type of battleship on its own
In July 1950, construction plans were officially finalized, and a few days later the first steel plate was cut
This was the first and last type of battleship designed by Country C, and since then proposals for the construction of battleships have been rejected
This class of warships adopts a 406mm main gun imitating M country, and integrates the excellent design of new warships such as R country, M country, and Y country in the hull design
The sighting system purchased high-precision rangefinders and sights from ZEISS in D country
And this class of warships is planned to install R country wartime electric detector (radar)
Although the preliminary preparations were quite smooth, due to the change of blood in the top brass of the C Navy, the construction plan of this class of battleships was eventually stranded
All information about the class of warships was burned, and only some of the war history is mentioned in a very obscure way
Less than 30 percent of the hull sank into the Bohai Strait, and the original nine 406mm barrels were cut and destroyed

X Nanjing
After the end of the war, Country C secretly took over the Musashi, the sub-flagship of the R-Nation fleet
In 1948, with the acquiescence of the M-nation government, the Musashi was refitted at the port of Yokosuka in R country
A large number of anti-aircraft guns and high-level dual-purpose secondary guns originally installed on both sides of the hull were removed, and the engineers planned to replace them with the Imperial 40mm Forbes anti-aircraft gun
Musashi's proud 460mm main gun was replaced by an American-made 457mm main gun
The old sighting equipment was replaced with an advanced rangefinder and electrical probe
However, the modification plan of this class of warships was not implemented, and in early 1949, a bizarre explosion occurred in the entire battleship in the dock, the main keel of the battleship was broken, and the entire battleship was seriously damaged and had no reuse value
In early 1950, the C Navy sold the class of warships to the M Navy at scrap iron prices

For the poor and weak C country and C country navy, a strong army is only a mirror flower, if there is no strong economic strength as a background, then the final result can only be to perish
The powerful fleet of the C Navy now exists only on the drawings in the book, and history has proved to us countless times that the country with exhausted soldiers can only go to extinction!
