The eagle (HMS Eagle) is a carrier with the British navy's first island model bridge deck (island). The U.K. navy which purchased Almirante body Ren that was sisters warship of Chilean naval battleship Almirante ラトーレ formerly misappropriated the hull and started construction as a carrier on February 28, 1918 for World War I last years.

Design

If because design age time is old as for this warship, is to an old generation, and the design remained, but these think about the design time of this warship; of the way there was not it. This depends on design thought common throughout each country that I let a carrier support a light cruiser-like duty, and there are many points that are common to carrier "ベアルン" of the France navy of the same generation.

• The equipment for large crane for seaplane use
• The diameter gun deployment out of the ship's side for anti-water war vessel attacks and the underwater torpedo tube equipment

Warship form

The eagle which was taken in the 1930s. I pay attention to a 15.2cm gun to place in the ship's side.

Almirante ラトーレ of the sisters warship finished as a battleship. I was placed on duty during World War I as Canada in the British navy.

Because the hull size adopted 35.6cm to the main battery with the short fo'c'sle type hull as well as iron duke grade as for the hull shape of this warship constructed as a battleship formerly, I stretched out the hull head approximately 11.4m than iron duke grade, and, as for the full length, it was 201m. This was long next to 204.7m of longest エジンコート by the battleship of ground Fried at the time.

As for the bow shape, it was the shape that protruded in the former direction at the draft lower part to earn the bow buoyancy characterizing the British style design of the 1910s. I built many props on the best deck where I would place the main gun turret and originally placed a flying deck on the top. That the prop of the bow side is good in 凌波性; was got fixed to extend original bow structure to save it, and to connect it to the front part of the flying deck. Nine engines were located so that 15.2cm 単装速射砲 filled it between a prop and props on the best deck.

The upper part structure which there was not was established on an existing British carrier on the flying deck. Seeing from the top surface, the shape was designed in a rectangle not to inhibit the space of the flying deck and concentratedly arranged this on the right side of the hull central part. A bridge deck located it in the front of the upper part structure, and the tripod-shaped front part mast similar to the thing of battle cruiser Hood was put up on the top. A box-shaped watch place with the shooting pelorus room is established in the top part;; one single board located two in total in a range finder below. Two chimneys stood behind a front part mast, and each of the two sections of the chimney was small size of a book. A plain simple crus-type rear mast was put up in the rear of the second chimney. Length, the width of this upper part structure became 39.6m *5.5m, and it was huge structure to occupy approximately 20% of the flying deck space. One crane to manage a seaplane located it behind the upper part structure.

They were right under the flying deck, and a hangar of 6.2m in height was established, but the hangar was sandwiched between 15.2cm guns placed in the ship's side and was narrowed, and only areas of approximately 60% were produced in comparison with flying deck size.

Aviation equipment of a ship

The eagle which I looked at from the upward direction. I pay attention to an elevator of the cruciate of the bow side.

The flight boatswain of this after many twists and turns finished warship is 198.7m in height X 29m in width. By one engine arranged two elevators in front and behind a flying deck. This elevator is different in form in front and back, and rear quality is a quadrangle commonly, but the thing of the front part does a cross type in total in the form of the airplane, and it may be said that it is a trace of フューリアス which caused the design. The British navy adopts it in her me, glorious grade sequentially later, and it is thought that there was navy original advantage (lightweighting of the elevator body, labor saving of 揚降動力 with it). スパルヴィエロ of the Italian naval passenger ship remodeling carrier adopted similar form in the other countries, too.

The deck landing device just after the completion was equipped with a steel cable vertical tension-type deck landing trigger between anteroposterior elevators, but redecorated it into the expanding sideways method of five steel cables after removal based on the use results of French carrier ベアルン later in 1933 in 1926. A hangar of the dd was established under the deck, but the deployment number of planes was アーガス and 21 planes which did not change (up to 24). It was one chimney, and it was a stick-shaped crane, but, as for the constitution of the island model bridge deck at the time of the temporary placement on duty, the crane was checked on a complicated shape large size crane to two chimneys with the chimney having done a boiler as for the bridge deck after the completion in coal blend firing empty can 重油専焼缶 in 三脚檣型 to a box-shaped bridge deck on the structure of the oval barrel in the rear. A bulge was added for reconstruction-related improvement elsewhere.

The cause was the battleship which was low speed, but remained in a line during World War II. It is the reason that was able to cope with increase of the run distance with the development of the plane in the back to some extent because I was able to take a flight boatswain with a hull shape having a long full length for a long time, but it is a cause that the mainstream of the carrier-based plane of the U.K. navy at the time was a biplane having a short it of the detached room warship distance.

兵装

In 15.2cm (45-caliber) 単装砲 of the main armament, as for one right and left, as for by one, as for by one, 5 gates, stern direction were able to point to up to five gates with by three nine in total by triangle placement in edge right and left in front part elevator right and left in 2 gates, right and left direction in the former direction in the stern region after a hangar in the hangar anterior extremity part from the bow of the main deck right under flying deck. 10.2cm (45-caliber) 単装高角砲 of the vice-armament was one engine between two engines, two chimneys in one engine, the lower crane in one engine, a mizzenmast base on the deck edge before the bridge deck. Elsewhere as proximity firearms 4.7cm 単装高角砲 four and 12.7cm 単装機銃 12 orders. And 2 gates were equipped with a 53.3cm torpedo tube under draft for anti-warship attacks.

I removed one engine between the chimney among 10.2cm anti-aircraft guns in camel Laird Corporation in November, 1941 after the completion and became four engines and strengthened a cannon and the number of the machine guns. I accompanied this, and the anticraft conduct device was updated at a 285 type shooting conduct device.

Defense

The defence had the defence that was tougher than a regular carrier like a redecorated carrier from a battleship. The ship's side defense was enough for 25mm and the main battery of the light cruiser in 114mm, an anteroposterior edge in central part and had armor of 102mm in the main deck as the battleship unless I put armor of 38mm on the flight deck. However, the defense of 15.2cm 単装砲 of the main armament was plain and only made armor of 25mm on the cover of the seawall.

Engine

The engine constitution of the eagle was a design of yeah low type coal, 重油混焼重油専焼水管缶 21 for the battleship era, but when the fuel was only heavy oil, a carrier became for main force reinforcement by becoming it, and the number of the boilers increased with 32, too.

Turbine constitution was 4 axis promotion by the constitution of four brown Curtis type direct connection turbines without a change, and, in arranging it in parallel, an impulse type direct connection turbine for the high speed was installed in the machine room of right and left, and three greatest turbine rooms promoted the outside axis of right and left as one direct connection turbine with by one with a turbine for the progress and a turbine for the next generation. I promoted inside axis in two parallel in this by the constitution of the turbine for the low speed in turbine for the progress and turbine for the next generation and condenser one of the distinction holder with a reaction type direct connection turbine for low speed, the cruise in a center room.

Because I still managed it with two boilers during an examination as a carrier, the chimney was one of them, but I was returned to the dock after an examination again, and all the boilers were equipped with, and it was two chimneys. I showed maximum speed 24.37 knots at max power 52,100HP in a public trial after the completion, but a steam leak was generated with a high pressure turbine at this time and because there might be the engine damage if I applied it by this output, I was limited to practical use output 50,000HP and was applied at speed 24 knots.

Other

Warship career

It was said that the design included a large island model bridge deck and a completion-type flying deck based on the use results in フューリアス and アーガス. However, because I started construction of remodeling construction, and World War I was finished soon, the construction delayed and was placed on duty in April, 1920 with being unfinished. I carried out a departure and arrival warship, an operational examination off Sicily of the Mediterranean Sea, and the British navy which reconfirmed the effectiveness of the island model bridge deck started construction of this construction in November of the year and was completed afterwards in 1923 after time for five years.

The eagle which overturns.

It was managed as the European latest carrier after the completion, but I replaced the reinforcement of the draft, the improvement of the residence division, reinforcement of the posterior hull, reinforcement of 対空兵装, the main can from 1931 through 1932 and expanding sideways-type did the braking measures in a flying deck in 1933. I belonged to Orient fleet after modernization remodeling.

When relations with Italy turn worse, the eagle will be sent to the Mediterranean Sea fleet which needed charges warship of the carrier glorious dispatched to the Norwegian front, too [¹]. The eagle departs from Calumba on May 9, 1940 [²]. I came back to Colombo for bad weather once, but I departed again and entered the Suez Canal on May 25, and I arrived at Alexandria on May 27, and Mediterranean Sea fleet increased it [²]. On June 11, I make a sortie with battleship ウォースパイト, a Malaysia shop [³]. After having gone to the south of the マタパン cape, I want to do 帰投 on June 14 [⁴]. On June 22, I make a sortie for Operation BQ practice for the purpose of the fleet guards toward Alexandria from Malta with battleship royal subphosphorus, ラミリーズ, second expulsion group [⁵]. But it becomes the strategy postponement by the order from the admiralty, and the fleet wants to do 帰投 on June 23 [⁶]. On June 28 with battleship royal assistant Lin, ラミリーズ, destroyer seven for the fleet guards a sortie [⁷] (Operation MA3). However, the thing of Malta became the departure from a port postponement as a result of fight of the エスペロ fleet among fleets. On July 2, I want to do 帰投 in Alexandria [⁷]. On July 5, 1940, swordfish of the eagle deployment struck the port of トブルク and attacked and sank Italian destroyer ゼフィーロ and gave military gains such as overthrowing エウロ [⁸]. In addition, strike トブルク on July 20 approximately two weeks later, and want to sink two destroyers (ネンボ, male fatty tuna) [⁹]; [¹⁰]. I participate in Operation MA5 from July 7 [⁸] and participate in Calabria offing sea fight on July 9. Nine swordfish of the carrier eagle deployment struck the port of Augusta of Sicily on 10th, the following day and sank destroyer leone パンカルド by the falling of a thunderbolt [¹¹]. The eagle made a sortie for the guards of the AS2 fleet with battleship ウォースパイト, Malaysia shop, ラミリーズ on July 27 and came back to Alexandria on July 30 [¹²]. The fleet made a sortie again to tell it about the eyes of the enemy from plane transportation operation to Malta performed the next day in the western part of Mediterranean Sea (Operation Harry) (Operation MA9); [¹³]. A deployment machine of the eagle attacked and sank Italian submarine イリーデ off Bomba on August 22 [¹³]. On August 29 the eagle with battleship ウォースパイト, a Malaysia shop a sortie (Operation ハッツ) [¹³]. At first the fleet guarded MF2 fleet toward Malta and then joined the carrier illustration ria that was the reinforcement to Mediterranean Sea fleet, a battleship variant [¹⁴]. ロドス island air raid was carried out on the way home, and the fleet arrived at Alexandria on September 5 [¹⁵]. On September 30, the eagle left for Crete for the purpose of interference of the fleet guards and the traffic on the seas of Italy with battleship ラミリーズ, a Malaysia shop and came back to Alexandria on October 6 after a cruise did the outskirts [¹⁶].

The eagle was guarded on April 9, 1941 by a destroyer encounter and a decoy and departed from Alexandria and I parted from the destroyer of the guards on April 10 and entered the Suez Canal and entered the great bitters lake on the same day. There is the ship which sank by the underwater mine of the German military in the canal, and the eagle will remain in the great bitters lake because of a strong wind until April 15 because the passage of the place was impossible. I passed the place of the obstacle safely on April 15 and arrived at port Suez. Therefore I received refueling and departed from Port Said on the next day and arrived alone off Port Sudan toward the south on April 18. The eagle sailed the next day and left for the south after the accommodation in the swordfish of the deployment machine that unfolded in Port Said more and arrived at Aden on April 21. On the same day, they left Aden with 重巡洋艦 Cornwall, and eagle and two ships of Cornwall arrived at Mombasa on April 26.

Then, I participated in Operation pedestal of August, 1942 and received three of four torpedoes of German submarine U-73 in a transportation fleet guards duty to Malta in the port engine department off the Algiers north on the same month 11 and sank eight minutes later.

The correction of this knob is expected.
