Chapter 922 A brief history of the Japanese Navy's self-destruction 2
Speaking of this, we also have to mention the "Mikasa". This guy's history is definitely a miracle and weird! It is indeed the glory of being the flagship of the Japanese Joint Fleet. But as a legendary battleship, the Mikasasa power has exploded twice in others!&1t;/p>
After the self-destruction on September 11, 19o5, the Mikasa ship sank...... Such a nb, such a representative warship naturally cannot sink like this! What is the majesty of the Japanese Joint Fleet? What is the face of the Japanese Empire? So the Japanese government decided to salvage and repair it, and rushed to serve again before the US "Black Fleet" came to Japan on January 18, 19o8.&1t;/p>
However, the incident was not over yet. Mikasa, who had self-destructed, felt very unhappy and decided to make another big news if you have time! At 6:40 pm on January 3, 1912, a fire broke out in the ammunition depot and there was a slight explosion. This time the matter was not big, nor too much trouble. However, a third-class sailor who had been burned to death appeared in the ammunition depot. Then, for the reason of this, there is a saying that the deceased was beaten by a veteran, and then he couldn't think of it for a moment and decided to play a big game...&1t;/p>
In addition to Mikasa, there is another self-destructing star in the history of Japanese battleships! This is the Hinaga battleship, which is also an epic existence! In terms of the number of self-destructions, people have self-destructed three times. In terms of the position of self-destructions, they are particularly artistic and regular... What makes people even more sigh-worthy is that this battleship has achieved another career because of self-destructions, and a career that has transformed into an aviation battleship...&1t;/p>
This guy exploded three times, and three times were turrets! I'll ask if you're afraid?! Are you convinced?! History On January 24, 1919, this battleship had just been completed for more than a year, and the No. 3 turret exploded, and on September 23, 1924, the No. 4 turret exploded... (And look at the order of this turret, I think some smart book friends can already guess the next explosion turret, right?) That's right, with some irresistible secret force, and the blessing of the old Japanese navy's self-destruction will, the next explosion was the No. 5 turret of the Hinaga......&1t;/p>
On May 5, 1942, the No. 5 turret of Hinaga No. 5 exploded under the expectations of the public! This explosion was quite powerful, and the entire turret cap was lifted off. The reason for this explosion was the clearest. The Japanese Navy made the order of loading shells wrong while practicing. Although this explosion did not kill Hinaga, it also caused the tragedy of 51 deaths and 11 injuries.&1t;/p>
However, at this time, Japan was about to launch an offensive against Midway Island. In order to participate in this large-scale battle, after the Japanese Navy Bar No. 5 turret was removed, it directly sealed the cannon mount with steel plates, and then installed several triple 25mm96 type anti-aircraft guns and No. 22 sea search radar and then went into battle.&1t;/p>
But you can say that the Hinata performed well in Midway. After the Japanese aircraft carrier formation was defeated, Hinata used its No. 22 sea search radar to find the chaotic Japanese warship and then assisted the fleet to regroup. At that time, Chiaki Matsuda, the captain of the Hinata battleship, successfully checked in the "Yamato Hotel" because of his excellent service and became the captain of the Ogawa.&1t;/p>
Another thing that this guy is worth mentioning is that he actually lived to be 99 years old and died in 1995. This is also a miracle in the history of the Japanese naval! And because the Hinata exploded, he became one of the alternative targets when changing the aviation battleship in the future. Nonsense, one of the turrets was blown away. If you don’t change, who will you change?!&1t;/p>
(In fact, if you want to talk about self-destruction, navies of various countries have had them. The Foreward of the St. Vincent-class dagger of the British Empire had an explosion on July 9, 1917. During World War I, there were also explosions in German submarines, Russian battleships also exploded in Battle 1, and the US Iowa-class battleship also exploded after World War II. On April 19, 1989, the B turret of the Iowa battleship, which was practicing in the Atlantic Ocean, caused 47 deaths. As for the Russian Navy? Let’s not talk about the submarines that sank during the Cold War, everyone knows that the Kursk self-destruction... So, it is normal to have some accidents, or explosion accidents. But if you say that it is as frequent as the old Japanese navy, it is probably not.)&1t;/p>
After calculating the time, it is now 1912. The earliest self-destruction in history should be during the Russo-Japanese War. It is a bit late for self-destruction now. But this time the self-destruction time is really powerful.&1t;/p>
As for what is the reason for the self-destruction of Japanese warships? This thing is not clear? The Japanese themselves cannot explain it clearly. Generally speaking, it is divided into two categories. One is that the injection is unstable, and the temperature is too high, and they explode themselves. Of course, this statement was less later. And another statement is that the soldiers at the bottom often receive corporal punishment and beatings, which caused some soldiers to be unable to think about it and then made a big news...&1t;/p>
In fact, in Ruprecht's view, the reason for the self-destruction of the Akashi cruiser is more likely to be the first. First, because of the combat cruise mission, the entire warship must be very high. In history, the Japanese battleships had one thing in common when they self-destructed and sank, that is, they were all born when they were resting in the port, for example, when the Mikasa exploded on Sunday. At this time, the warships were lax, and some people who couldn't think of it really had the chance to "can't think of it". However, when cruise, especially when they met the American fleet and were confronting each other, the officers and soldiers on the warships were very vigilant, there would be no accident.&1t;/p>
Then look at the ship Akashi. After all, this ship has been in service for more than ten years and is an old-fashioned dome cruiser. The temperature control of the ammunition depot on the ship is definitely not as good as the new ship behind. Moreover, as a small boat with a displacement of only 4ooo tons, most of the equipment is equipped with high explosive bombs, and picric acid charge is as fatal to itself as it is to the enemy... and long-term wandering in tropical areas also increases the possibility of ammunition spontaneous combustion. Of course, this is just a guess. I am afraid no one knows the exact result. After all, everything has sunk into the rolling waves of the Pacific Ocean!&1t;/p>
As for the abuse of recruits or corporal punishment by the old Japanese navy, how to say it, this matter is quite serious. Interested book friends can take a look at "Men's 96 Cannons"~~~. What? You said you can't find it? You can try changing the 96 Cannons to Yamato!&1t;/p>
