Are there any armor from the blows of fate?

Discussions on the subject of “projectile against armor” often bypass a number of important points, and as a result the conclusions of the participants have an erroneous interpretation. A new round of discussion is intended to dispel some of the existing myths about the security of ships and find a connection between entertaining theory and wretched reality.

As is known, modern ships sink (lose their combat capability and need assistance) after one or two hits ABOVE the waterline. Conventional 500-fnl. bombs, small-sized anti-ship missiles or suicide bombers on a boat with a bag of improvised explosives - the result will be the same: any modern cruiser or destroyer will be in the balance from death.

The current situation is in clear contradiction with the results of past battles. During the Second World War, armored cruisers of similar sizes withstood heavy blows without serious consequences. During the battle in Leyte Gulf, Takeo Kurita squadron went under three hours under continuous attacks, in which up to 500 American aircraft took part. Despite the heavy rain from the sky, all Kurita ships returned to Japan (except for three, but they died for another reason). The secret of the focus is simple - at that time, the Yankees had only the usual "mines" and there were no torpedoes.

In January 1945, the Australian cruiser HMAS Australia withstood four kamikaze rams + a bomb hit the waterline for four days! Despite the extensive damage and death of 39 seafarers, "Australia" stubbornly held to the position, firing on Japanese fortifications in the Gulf of Lingen. Upon returning home to Australia, the wounded cruiser did not manage to get qualified assistance, and somehow the patched ship went around the world to the UK - where it safely reached under its own power.

Are there any armor from the blows of fate?


HMAS Australia is a British-built cruiser of the County type, a victim of Washington restrictions with intentionally weakened reservations. Other ships, who are stronger, showed even more impressive vitality. Despite the mockery of the heroes, none of the dead battleships could not be destroyed by conventional bombs.

"Arizona" - the ancient battleship (1915 g.), Was caught off guard with "flat pants" in Pearl Harbor. The death came from an 800-kg special bomb made of an 410 mm caliber armor-piercing projectile.

“Marat” - his sinking was postponed until armor-piercing bombs with a mass of 1,5 tons were brought from Germany.

Italian "Roma" - was killed by two radio-controlled armor-piercing bombs "Fritz-X", dropped from an altitude of 6 kilometers. Imagine the kinetic energy of such a pig! And multiply it by the mechanical strength of the munition, which was a solid 1300-kg array of high-strength steel. I would not be surprised if such a “baby” can pierce through the 16-floor house. None of the modern anti-ship munitions does not have and cannot possess such a trajectory.

To say that the gloomy Teutonic knight "Tirpitz" died "only" from a pair of bombs means to offend common sense. The bombs were called “Tollboy” and weighed 5 tons. Only in this way, the British were able to deal with the "lonely queen of the North." The previous three years of hunting and 700 sorties did not bring success.


Nine direct hits with 227 caliber bombs and 726 kg did not add “Tirpitsa” beauty, but even taking into account damage from all previous attacks, the battleship remained afloat and retained the lion's share of its combat capability. The explosions severely beat the servants of anti-aircraft guns (in those days, the ships were not highly automated, and hundreds of people were on the upper deck). Operation Wolfram, April 1944

"Tirpitz" - a limiting case of the demonstration of the highest survivability of a large, perfectly protected ship. Much more indicative is the episode with a small “Australia”. Or damage to the cruiser "Columbia" - two kamikaze aircraft destroyed both aft turret and 37 man servants of anti-aircraft guns, but the cruiser continued to fire on the shore from the bow towers of the Civil Code. Japanese cruiser Kumano, American Louisville, British “York” ... The survivability of the ships of previous years is amazing.


Destroyer Cole, blown up by terrorists in the port of Aden, 2000 year. Surface explosion of an SVU with a power of 200-300 kg of TNT near the board - the crew lost 17 people killed, the ship lost the ability to move independently.



"Cardboard" aircraft destroyer "Porter" after a collision with a tanker in the Strait of Hormuz, 2012 year. It is not surprising that these clowns die from one bag of improvised explosives.


Even the most modest armor can radically increase the combat strength and security of a ship, saving many of its crew members to live. But why in our days, when safety and human life are valued above all else, warships are completely devoid of any serious constructive protection? The layers of Kevlar, local booking of combat posts and fire fighting bulkheads — all these comedy measures of “increased security” play no role in a real encounter with an anti-ship missile or a boat controlled by a suicide bomber.

May be, the whole thing in the terrible destructive impact of the CRPfrom which no armor saves? No, this is absolutely not the case. And that's why.

Horror stories about multi-ton supersonic Granit rockets, sweeping away everything in their path, have little to do with reality. The Soviet rocket school in pursuit of the speed / range / power of warheads of anti-ship missiles exceeded a reasonable limit: the resulting missiles (in truth, disposable aircraft) were so gigantic in size that their accommodation required special ships and submarines. From here extremely limited number of carriers and lack of an opportunity for their real application. “Granites” are excessively expensive for local wars. They cannot be exported because they require a specialized carrier and special means of over-the-horizon target designation, without which super-missiles lose their meaning.

Heavy anti-ship missiles "Granit", "Mosquito", "Volcano" are scary, but extremely rare, exotic weapons. You can only meet with such a PKR in the event of a direct armed conflict between the US or China with the Russian Navy - the situation is almost unreal. As a result, during their 30-year career, the Granites have never been used in combat conditions and have not sunk a single enemy ship.


P-700 "Granite". The size and weight of this rocket are close to the MiG-21 fighter

It stands alone story with the P-15 "Termite" - the firstborn of anti-ship missiles, not yet a perfect rocket with a launch mass of 2 tons and a range of 40 km. But even in this form, “Termit” turned out to be much more effective than “Granites”, quickly gained popularity among the “third world” countries and distinguished itself in many local wars.

Unlike the Russian Navy, all the other fleets of the world are armed with mainly light anti-ship missiles - the French Exochet, the American Harpoon, the Chinese C-802, the Norwegian NSM, and the Japanese 90 Type - they are all small-sized missiles with a launch mass of 600 -700 kg. With subsonic flight speeds and warheads 150-250 kg, of which less than half is in explosives. The “semi-armored warhead” itself has no constructive measures to overcome armor, and its “armor-piercing” is determined only by slowing down the fuse.

A positive feature of the compact RCC is their small mass, size and cost. As a result, such missiles are numerous and omnipresent. The Yankees and their allies adapted the Harpoon for dozens of different carriers. Virtually any ship in the range from the boat to the battleship, any aircraft - from fighter jets to strategic B-52, ground-based PUs on the truck chassis ... how much imagination the developers had.















It is precisely small-sized “Exosets”, “Harpoons” and C-802 that are most intensively used in local conflicts and have already sunk a dozen ships. They are so cheap and practical that they can be acquired by any terrorist group and a country of the “third world”. In 2006, Hezbollah fighters shot down with the help of the Chinese Yingji anti-ship missiles, the corvette of the Israeli naval forces and a ship sailing under the Egyptian flag.

Accidental Exocset, launched from a Mirage that flew past, or unexpected Yingji, released from a camouflaged PU on the shore — such cases represent the main threat in modern hot spots and local wars at sea. And from them should be sought adequate protection.



It is in principle incorrect to compare the kinetic energy of the RCC with the body of duralumin and the nose cone of radio transparent plastic with the energy of armor-piercing shells, in view of the fundamental differences in the strength of these bodies. At meeting angles close to the normal, the missile warhead can simply collapse when it hits the armor. Upon impact on the tangent, the "soft" RCC is guaranteed to go into the rebound. Sources include numbers from 40 mm (realistic) to 90 mm (which is unlikely) - such a layer of steel is able to confidently protect the crew and the insides of the ship’s compartments from RCC, similar to Exocset.


"Toledo" - 12-th in a row in a series of 14 type cruisers "Baltimore". Launched in 1945 year. Complete in / and 17 thousand tons. Reservations (in brief): Armor belt - 152 mm, Deck - 65 mm, Battle house - 165 mm. GK towers - max. armor thickness 203 mm. Barbetta towers GK 152 ... 160 mm. Protection cellars 51 ... 76 mm. The total weight of armor 1790 tons or 12,9% of the standard w / and cruiser

If we take the cruiser “Baltimore” as a standard, its armored belt and armored deck can withstand the hit of any modern small-scale anti-ship missiles or close undermining of a boat with terrorists. A rocket would never break through a metal layer of such thickness, and with an external explosion, the design of the plastic “Harpoon” eliminates the appearance of heavy fragments - such fragments simply have nothing to form. Even if the shock wave bends the frames and stringers, pulling several armor plates off, the presence of armor minimizes damage and prevents the death of a large number of sailors. Doubters please look at the examples of the Second World War.

Where did the armor go?

It is not known for certain in whose bright head the thought of the uselessness of ship's armor was first born. Anyway, from the end of the 1950-ies began the massive construction of warships, the design of which protection was not paid attention.

The only reason for such a dubious situation is the appearance of nuclear weapons. The first sea test of nuclear weapons on the Bikini Atoll gave the opposite effect - armored ships that were over 1000 yards from the epicenter easily survived the explosion. However, the further evolution of nuclear weapons, whose power with the advent of thermonuclear bombs exceeded the megaton line, proved to be fatal. Preparations for a world nuclear apocalypse began, after which nothing mattered. Warships rapidly turned into "disposable" pelvis.

As time went on, there was no atomic war. But I had to get involved in a bunch of local wars, where ships became victims of the most common means of destruction - artillery fire, anti-ship missiles, boats with shahids on board or free-fall bombs.

The first alarm was sounded during the Falkland War (1982) - one of the British ships (Sheffield) burned down and sank from one of the unexploded RCC stuck in its hull. Strictly speaking, the Falklands cannot serve as a reference example of modern war - Her Majesty's unarmed frigates were drowned like puppies under the blows of decrepit subsonic attack aircraft of the Argentine Air Force.

However, the only sea conflict of the modern era has clearly shown what happens to an unprotected ship when a small 500-pound or Exocset gets into it. If on the place of the small Sheffield or Coventry any cruiser Belknap or Springs, nothing would change in principle. Belknap, due to its large size and buoyancy margin, could not have drowned - but it would have burned out thoroughly. Numerous loss of life + damage of hundreds of millions of dollars. The ship would have to be rebuilt. Further events only confirm this thesis (a vivid example is Cole).


12 June 1982, the destroyer Glamorgan was located in 20 miles off the coast of the Falkland Islands, when a gift arrived from the coast - the Exocset anti-ship missile. The rocket’s history is unusual: the Argentines took it off one of their destroyers, transported it to the island with a transport plane, and launched it into the first British ship that caught their eye. The rocket slid along the deck (its footprint is visible in the photo) and exploded, destroying the stern part of the Glamorgan. The air defense system fell off, a helicopter broke out in the hangar and burned out. Killed 14 sailors. In general, the "Glamorgan" was lucky, what can not be said about other ships of the British squadron.



If a major maritime conflict occurs today (Chinese copies of Orly Berkov will fight with the Japanese Atago), the result will be terrible. Free ships will turn into flammable colanders with monstrous losses among their crews.

Facts just scream about the need to increase the security of ships. But no country in the world builds armadillos. What is the cause of the paradox?

Armor - expensive pleasure.

Adherents of this theory are not at all embarrassed by the fact that a boat costing $ 300 completely disables the destroyer for $ 1 500 000 000. In an era when the cost of the "stuffing" is estimated at billions, an extra couple of hundreds of millions for the armor and deck do not make the weather anymore, but they repeatedly increase the combat capabilities of the ship.

Finally, it is worth remembering that half a century ago armored ships were built in large series (Soviet 68-bis - 14 units!), And no one complained about the high cost and complexity of installing armor. Given that the machining technology was at a very primitive level compared with the current.

Installation of armor is impossible: modern ships are already overloaded with electronics, rocket systems, and so on. "High technology".

In the picture - the cruiser "Albany", 1962 year. You will not believe, but this is a modernized "Baltimore". The ship lost all its artillery, in return received a new super-superstructure, the PLUR complex and the 4 SAM system with fire control systems. Despite such a fierce "modernization", the displacement remains the same. And what kind of lamp computers and electronics were in 60's - even scary to imagine!



Hiding behind the armor is useless - the ship will still need long, expensive repairs.

Of course, it is much better to burn and sank off the coast of Iran with half the crew.

Armor will not protect radar and other fragile equipment - and then everything, kaput.

First, the ship will remain operational. To launch "Tomahawks" and shoot from a cannon at 45 km, adjusting the fire according to the UAV data - for this, the radar is not needed. Be sure, the wounded beast will become even more angry, release its ammunition for brazen “Papuans” and leave for repair on its own. The ship's PLO will not be affected - sonar, weapon. The move will continue. The ship will still remain a valid combat unit, but with limited air defense.

Secondly, it is difficult to disable ALL radars due to their number, location and considerable size of the ship. For comparison, on the Ticondeurogu cruiser there are four independent antennas of the AN / SPY-1 surveillance radar located on the walls of the front and rear superstructures - one for each direction. Plus backup radar review AN / SPS-49 (on the mainmast). Four radar target illumination. Navigation radar and surface viewing radar. As well as two anti-aircraft guns "Falanx" - each with its own radar fire control.



It will take a series of "successful" hits, but by that time the battleship can already calculate the offender and feed him with lead.

Do the Pentagon and the Ministry of Defense of Russia in vain eat their own bread? If everything is so obvious, why hasn’t a TK for the creation of an armored ship yet been formed?

“Pitt is the greatest fool in the world, encouraging a way of waging war that gives nothing to a nation that already has supremacy at sea, and which, if successful, can lose this supremacy”,

- Admiral Lord Jervis spoke as he watched the naval minister rejoice in the successful testing of a new invention, a submarine designed by R. Fulton.

Seeing before them a new tool that could change the balance of power at sea, the British did not begin to develop promising technology, in return offering Fulton a life-long pension so that he forgot about his submarine. They didn’t want to change anything - they were happy with everything: double superiority fleet His Majesty over any of the fleets in the world. Then why give a reason for a new arms race if there is no certainty that they will come out of it as winners?

Currently, America continues to celebrate victory in the Cold War. The Yankees do not see worthy opponents at sea and do not want to change anything. Despite the experience, common sense and regular calls from our own analysts, the Pentagon is not going to force the creation of the “21th century battleship”: after all, if successful, it will immediately create all of their “Berki” and “Tikonderoga”, which were riveted in the number of 80 pieces.

It sounds surprising, but the Yankees do not prepare for wars at sea at all. Their newest ships are completely devoid of anti-ship weapons. Instead, sailors are becoming increasingly addicted to the subject of BMD (strategic missile defense) and other equipment that has only a remote connection with the sea.

States - the only ones who can create a fundamentally new ship CSW (Capital Surface Warship). But they will never take such a step - until someone else does. Frankly speaking, the American fleet lately has not shone with novelty solutions and, in its technical excellence, has been left behind many European and Asian fleets (which cannot be said about its size).

Don't wait News from Japan - this 51st state receives most of the technology from the United States and builds its fleet on the American principle.

China? These guys are copying everything from the hours to the ships. At the moment, they have taken a call from the Pentagon and are trying to catch up with the US fleet, building their copies of the "Berkov."

Russia and the countries of the eurozone - here we are not talking about non-badness in principle. We and the Europeans have enough strength only to build frigates - modest ships, which armor does not rely on rank.

The conclusion is straightforward - something epic has to happen so that the battleships will return to the sea. And there is no doubt that this will happen sooner or later.

    I think that there was a place to book ships and it was advisable when artillery was their main weapon. Improving aviation and torpedo weapons, and finally creating anti-ship missiles, nullified this expediency.
    Mr. Kaptsov’s references to the weakness of the warhead of the anti-ship missiles are inappropriate, because instantly it is possible to replace the warhead with cumulative and even 100mm armor will not be an obstacle.

      A ship is not a tank
      Having pierced 100 mm armor, you will be taken to the first compartment from the side, where, as a rule, there is nothing important. A few meters of empty space - and a new bulkhead.
      By this time, the cumulative stream will be completely exhausted and that’s all - damage to the ship will be limited to the 10 centimeter hole in the armored belt.

        You forgot about the tandem option. In this option, quite a lot of explosives can fly into the first compartment, which is not fraught with minor troubles. I think if the armor returns to the ships, the anti-ship missiles will quickly evolve to overcome this obstacle once again. Improving air defense is the only way out in the fight against RCC.

                    Excuse me ... but it will master ... "we smoke materiel"
                    The history of tank building is a variant of a tank with a reinforced hull and its correspondence to the thickness of a similar tank armor.
                    "In comparative tests, a 60mm concrete barrier matched 20mm high hardness armor plates." (c) M. Svirin "History of the Soviet tank 1937-1943"
                    That is, ammunition capable of penetrating 2 meters of reinforced concrete is guaranteed to hit armor protection up to 500mm thick. crying

                    Yet again. / I want to remind you that I’m still a specialist in some way and I studied the parameters of TSA and saw their real power (albeit at the training ground) /

                    So the good old BRAB with "additional speed" were calculated to defeat, in particular, the BETAB 500 SHP with a total weight of only 424 kg guaranteed to hit armor up to 550 mm thick, providing an undermining of 77 kg of high-blasting explosive FOR ARMOR (the speed and altitude of the carrier do not matter - i.e. Because the necessary acceleration the bomb received due to the powder accelerator.

                    Well and still, after. NURS С-13Т having a flight speed of about 500 m / s (i.e. not much faster than most small anti-ship missiles) with a starting weight of 69kg. It has a penetrating two-module warhead designed to defeat objects behind protection up to 6 meters of land, or 1 meters of reinforced concrete, or armored barriers up to 200mm. In particular, when it gets into the runway, up to 20 sq / m of coating plates is out of order.
                    the first part of the warhead weighing 21kg ensures the destruction of the obstacle and the second part of the warhead weighing 16.5kg breaks behind it ...
                    So with the warheads to defeat the armor now there are no special problems. In any case, those 100-200mm that can still be placed on a modern ship without causing its fatal overload and a sharp deterioration in combat qualities.
                    Again, for reference, the "small anti-ship missile" X59 "Gadfly" with a starting weight of 930 kg. delivers to the target a "penetrating" warhead weighing 320 kg. The X35 "Uranus" at the starting point of 620 has a warhead of 145 kg.

                        if you don’t want a tandem - get the kinetics: JASSM / At present, the concrete-piercing warhead J-1000 is installed on the rocket. The casing of the warhead is made of a metal alloy based on tungsten steel. The mass of the explosive is 109 kg. The J-1000 warhead at a speed of 300 m / s can penetrate medium-density soil to a depth of 6.1 to 24.4 m and punch reinforced concrete slabs with a total thickness of 1.2-2.1 m.

                        BetAB-500ShP can break through a ceiling up to 550 mm thick. In medium-density soil forms a funnel with a diameter of 4,5 m.

                        It has already been mentioned. There it is becoming increasingly less normal, as a filling factor for at least 10% can be reduced. And for concrete it is just not very thick.

                        I don’t think it’s wrong. The pre-war bombs had armor penetration of 100mm or 1,5m of marble on subsonic. With half the mass.

                        Do you really think that creating a warhead of the right filling with a weight of 400-500kg is more difficult and longer than building battleships?

                        Do not forget that the thickness of the walls of an armor-piercing projectile and its, let's say, "a kind of design" will be explained not only (and to some extent) by the need to withstand the loads when breaking through the armor, but also those huge loads that the projectile experiences directly when fired. And to provide a "specific impulse" for breaking through an armored barrier today can not only stupidly "disperse a piece of iron". Opening a "tin can" with an overhead charge has not surprised anyone for a long time. Well, after the appearance of methods of mathematical modeling of the explosion, focusing any required impulse directly on the surface of the armored barrier is not a question.
                        Unfortunately, I can't post here "diagrams" and "drawings" of such warheads (the secretary, you know, does not give out my old notes soldier ) But the numbers that I brought you are absolutely real ... How would you not like to believe otherwise.

          It is not always technically possible to create such a projectile (which will fulfill its task, i.e., hit the target). In production, it is usually really simpler and cheaper to use a new weapon, rather than a new body armor. But it should be noted that there is a tendency towards modularity of structures, including armored ones. In the future, it is even possible to imagine the superiority of defenses over defeats in terms of the economy. Sincerely. hi

          Well this is not always the case. There were times when the armor was ahead of the shell. It is enough to recall the history of the Middle Ages, when the siege of the fortress was not very simple, even with the advent of artillery, and fortresses built according to the Vauban system remained relevant until the appearance of powerful high-explosive shells in the late 19th century. On the battlefield, armor was relevant until the beginning of the 17th century, providing acceptable protection.

    To author +, a rather interesting article (say, combining previous articles), although controversial.

    At the expense of the Mosquitoes, my father said (if we take the classic battle in the ocean) that in the sea from surface ships, in his opinion (by the AUG), for his destroyer 956, the most dangerous would be modernized American battleships (such as Iowa), by a simple reason - armor and artillery (+ after modernization and missiles). In his words, "Mosquitoes" could not penetrate his side armor belt, a conventional warhead. And he, in turn, having a sufficiently high speed, would begin to fire at first with Harpoons (in principle, 956 could not be bad to defend against them with his air defense system), and then, going to the rapprochement, he would also fire artillery fire. Then it would have been kaput. Although the AK-130 is a good weapon, it did not compare with the main caliber of the battleship.

    So that, the author’s opinion, I support, all the same, the armor would not hurt.

    I only disliked the quote - "Russia and the countries of the eurozone - here we are not talking about non-mednout, in principle. We and the Europeans only have the strength to build frigates - modest ships, whose armor does not rely on rank." ...

    Somehow he really lowered us ..

Those. if we assume that at least two Mosquitoes broke through the air defense orders, Iowa is no longer conducting any counter artillery fire, but is leading a desperate struggle for survivability ...

    I already wrote that modular combined armor of a honeycomb structure for ships and vessels was successfully developed and tested in the USSR and many countries. However, it did not enter service for a reason: in the USSR, due to the collapse of the union and the subsequent stagnation of everything and everyone, in other countries, due to the significant rise in the cost of ships when using it. In fact, the development of naval armor as cheap and lightweight as possible continues in many countries now. There is evidence that small vessels for sabotage and raiding operations are covered with plastic-Kevlar armor. Similar armor is used on most large modern US ships to protect command and other important posts. However, the use of armoring on ships of the old design with a large number of electronic devices outside the robust housing was problematic. But modern designs in which all radio-electronic devices and weapons systems are "hidden" inside the ship's box allow the use of armor elements in a wider scope.

            But seriously: at least a dozen subsonic anti-ship missiles have learned to hit ground targets, Harpoon has been doing this for 40 years. There will be a task for JASSM, TAURUS, Storm Shadow to hit the battleship on the go - they will receive this opportunity before the keel of the ship is laid. I generally suspect that they will exchange warheads and GOS with existing models of anti-ship missiles and QAB - set only the task.

It will also make warhead detonations less effective at a distance, not contact, close misses, as well as when struck by substandard ammunition, it will also increase the likelihood of failure of the mechanisms of the striking ammunition, forcing it to work not normally.

Another question is how many projectiles will be required to "guaranteed to hit the target" - this is a question of standards and target durability. Against bunkers, this is one thing against armor is completely different ... But as real historical experience shows, two to three dozen 6 inch shells that exploded on the deck and superstructures of even a very well armored ship (battleship or EBR) certainly did not inflict fatal damage - but the ship's combat capability quickly sought to 0. For broken pipes and chimneys led to a drop in draft and speed. Destroyed command rangefinder posts to ineffective (practically airborne) main battery fire. (and the BC is not rubber - and no one will bring him to the position at sea). For that Bismarck was powerfully defended ... but two hits to the superstructures were enough and his mighty guns never hit anywhere else ... Well, on trifles, losses in personnel, fires that will be tormented to extinguish under a steel shower ... and etc. In general, the "alternative battle" battleship is likely to lose. Another question is that it is just an "alternative" ... Although it is not for nothing that the coastal defense artillery complex was riveted on our "Barricades". This and the modern "battleship" if the need happens, "throws a lulla".

                  This is the main question - the transition to a quick fire is not a defeat of the target. And the standards here are generally useless - we need a real hit.

                    The standards are always for what - the standards are precisely the "average" number of hits on the target to ensure its destruction. Because there is, after all, a "golden shot" - and as a result, "Hood" takes off to heaven ... And there is also a reverse indicator when a projectile, hitting a vulnerable point, does not explode ... So if we are doing a "thought experiment" here, then it is necessary to use the "calculation-normative" method ... Although we can "roll the dice" bully

                    As for everything else ... Guys, well, I'm not against armor as such (read above) ... Well, if the author of this topic hates aircraft carriers (he can't even eat) and loves heavy artillery ships, then damn it to reality, what does this have to do with ? You can "pull an owl on the globe" by adjusting the arguments to suit your wishes. But this does not mean that the truth will suddenly be revealed to us. Well, there is no "wunderwolf" and never will be ... Any weapon is, first of all, a system, a system sharpened for a specific structure of use and application. And in the same way, countermeasures are systematically developed. Do you think that if you now sew up the ship with armor, then you will "rip it out of the system" and get the coveted "wunderwaffe"? Well, this is a delusion - because the opposing system will react in the same way, which is most likely "nonsimmetrically".

                    In order not to be completely unfounded, we will try to consider the same option with the "coast" complex and its counteraction, let's say, to an amphibious operation supported by an "armored cruiser".
                    Let's just say - with a similar firing range of the "main caliber" near the coastal complex, the advantage is in stealth - as you know, there are no ravines on the water and there is nowhere to hide. Those. the ship's grouping will be detected earlier and targeted. The ships will not be able to detect the positions of the Coast until the moment they open fire. Those. the "first shot" is definitely behind the coast. The Battery of the Coast is 6 barrels with a combat rate of fire of about 10 rpm. Taking into account the fact that radar guidance and ballistic computers guarantee almost immediate target destruction at a distance of actual fire. Suppose that the "cruiser" is ready to return fire and 30 seconds after the opening of fire from the shore, its guns will be ready to strike back. (although in fact it is more - after all, you still need to detect positions, calculate and issue data to open fire) Well, let it be 30 seconds ... During this time, 10-15 130 mm of "suitcases" will collapse on the deck and superstructure of our "battleship" - which will turn into ruins superstructures, antenna posts and other by definition "unarmored things" ... Ie. most likely there will be nothing to open return fire ... the ship will not lose its buoyancy and speed, but it is no longer worth taking it into account as a combat unit. Further, the "coast" calmly shoots light unarmored landing craft. And after 5 minutes he is no longer in position and the retaliatory strike falls into the void. The crippled dreadnought goes home for repairs and the status quo is restored. And all this despite the fact that the cost of one battery of the Coast is an order of magnitude lower than the cost of the involved order of forces.

Yes, booking a warship from existing light anti-ship missiles is relatively easy and possible. That's just senseless - because the means of destruction will immediately return, which in due time turned the class of "battleships" into dinosaurs.

                        Perhaps the armor will return to warships ... but obviously only then it will be solved not as a piece of steel plate but on new physical principles. For now, all this is only suitable for science fiction writers. We open the "Huge black ship" and enjoy ...

    The whole question is the cost of operation ... War-war, and in peacetime you need to get into the pocket of the taxpayer to support the combat fleet. What will the reservation of existing ships give?
    1. Changing the project completely, which will entail the restructuring of production lines with an increase in the cost of the final product;
    2. An increase in displacement, with a corresponding drop in speed, it will be necessary to increase the power of the power plant, fuel consumption, which increases the cost of operation (if you do not sacrifice the range / speed characteristics).

    By the way, the above-mentioned "Albany" had a total displacement of 17500 tons, and the 1134-Buki, which was equivalent in terms of armament, had a total displacement of only 9000 tons.
    Those. the use of a full reservation (otherwise meaningless) will require a twofold increase in displacement.
    Now the question. Is it worth it? How can the creators of RCC respond to this?
    Currently, the creators of anti-ship missiles during the development of b / h missiles proceed from their characteristics of booking modern ships, therefore the mass and type of b / h on almost all anti-ship missiles are identical: RP weighing 150-200 kg.
    The use of reservations with surface ships will accordingly entail a change in the type and mass of b / h anti-ship missiles. Here you should refer to the history of booking tanks. The appearance of cumulative shells led to the fact that a simple increase in the thickness of the armor absolutely did not provide protection for the tank, the armor was 200 mm. burned with a bang shot PG-7, had to apply multi-layer combined booking.
    The Baltimore-class cruisers had an armor belt of only 152-102mm. (depending on the location), this armor did not save from HE / cumulative b / h anti-ship missiles X-22 weighing 900 kg. It is clear that if the mass of a similar b / h were 150kg, then in this case, 152mm. homogeneous rolled armor would not have resisted, and the cumulative jet would have provided a good fire on board the ship (and this is the worst thing for any sailor). The use of armor of the "chobham" type (and other varieties) on a ship is impossible, on a tank the area is relatively small and you can spend money, but a ship will require hundreds of square meters ...
    Perhaps the armor will eventually return to the ships, but so far there are no prerequisites for this, ammunition has the advantage ...

    The Soviet missile school, in pursuit of the speed / range / power of warhead anti-ship missiles, exceeded a reasonable limit: the resulting missiles (in truth, disposable aircraft) were so gigantic that they needed special-built ships and submarines to accommodate them.

    Well, what is wrong here? All countries were fond of this. Only our sworn friends decided to bet on light RCC. We continue to make both light and heavy. Tell me, is it easier to shoot down twenty light, subsonic anti-ship missiles, or four or six heavy, supersonic ones?

          "The 3M-45 (P-700) missile has several flexible adaptive trajectories, depending on the operational and tactical situation in the sea and airspace of the operation area. The maximum flight speed corresponds to M = 2,5 at high altitude and M = 1,5 at The complex provides salvo firing with all ammunition with a rational spatial arrangement of missiles and allows to operate against a single ship on the principle of "one missile-one ship" or "flock" against the order of ships.

          PU Granite at TAVKR pr.1143.5
          In the rapid fire mode, one missile acting as a "gunner" flies along a high trajectory to maximize the target area, while other missiles fly on a low trajectory. In flight, missiles exchange target information. If the "gunner" missile is intercepted, then one of the other missiles will automatically take over its functions. The missiles themselves distribute and classify the importance of the target, choose the attack tactics and the plan for its implementation. To eliminate errors when choosing a maneuver and hitting a given target, the on-board computer (BCVM) contains electronic data on modern classes of ships. In addition, the on-board computer also contains tactical information, for example, about the type of ship orders, which allows the rocket to determine who is in front of it - a convoy, aircraft carrier or landing group, and attack the main targets in its composition. The on-board computer contains data on countering the enemy's electronic warfare, capable of jamming to divert missiles from the target, tactics for evading the fire of air defense systems. After the missile is launched, they themselves decide which of them will attack which target and which maneuvers for this need to be carried out in accordance with the mathematical algorithms incorporated in the program of behavior. The missile also has a means of countering the attacking missiles. Having destroyed the main target in the ship's group, the remaining missiles attack other ships of the order, excluding the possibility of hitting the same target with two missiles ...
          ... According to the experience of the combat and operational training of the Navy, it is almost impossible to shoot down such a missile. Even if you hit Granit with an anti-missile, the missile, due to its enormous mass and speed, can maintain its initial flight speed and, as a result, reach the target. "

              1. even sluggish maneuvering virtually eliminates artillery defeat
              2. maneuvering significantly affects the ability to detect and accompany the target. Bearing on a target is not yet an opportunity to hit it, because the exact coordinates are another matter.
              3. At a counter speed with a missile defense - and this is of the order of 4-7 maxs, even a 1 meter maneuver actually leads the missile away from defeat. At the same time, the missile defense problem is complicated by the fact that it is very difficult to precisely detect the target in the opposite courses - infrared radiation is not suitable, the EPR for the radar is small.
              4. Finally, the last chance for the ship’s self-defense - a fragmentation explosion to cover a cloud of fragments and other rubbish - again a bummer, the rocket's forehead is armored and protects.
              5. The last option is to try to bring down the rocket by plane. on 2.5 maximally unrealistic in the classical scheme (there is a minimal chance if the plane with the right missiles (not every one is suitable for such a task!) was barraging already at the right point and was just waiting for a signal to intercept), unrealistic and on the forehead.

              it falls, as it were, vertically due to the line of the radio horizon already from the gained height.
              the same Onyx is a typical example. He has an accelerator inside his ramjet, which accelerates the rocket to a speed of 2M, then it turns off and is thrown out by an incoming stream of air and onyx (Yakhont) continues to fly on the ramjet with a speed of 2,5M. Then, at a distance of about 70-75 km, the radar captures the target and turns off the radar while diving steeply to very low altitudes (about 5-10 m). As a result in the middle section, the flight is carried out under the lower boundary of the air defense zone. In the future, after the release of anti-ship missiles due to the radio horizon, the radar is switched on again, captures and accompanies the target that the missile is aiming at. On this relatively short flight the supersonic speed of the Yakhont makes it difficult to defeat it by short-range air defense systems, as well as jamming its homing head.
              There is also a flight algorithm (usually for subsonic anti-ship missiles) when, about 2 km to the target, the rocket makes a sharp vertical maneuver and dives at the target at a vertical angle, as the Old Rocketeer speaks of. In this case, we carefully detach the warhead and the anti-missile defense system and then turn on the final radar of the seeker and go to vertical dive under the cries of the scattering crew of the enemy ship smile

      Well, what is wrong here?

      The question is in the number of RCC carriers. In the USA, one (in fact) Harpoon anti-ship missile system could be installed on any ship, on all attack aircraft, on some PLO aircraft. In our country, each type of ship had its own anti-ship missile system, absolutely not interchangeable with other ships. And it all started so hopefully ... The P-15 anti-ship missiles, in addition to the Project 206 RCA, were able to be installed on the ships of the Project 61,56,1159, thereby increasing their capabilities. But the rather modest characteristics of the P-15 anti-ship missiles required the creation of a new anti-ship missile. An attempt to replace the P-15 with the supposedly "light" anti-ship missile system that could be installed on most ships turned into the creation of the "Mosquito", which surpassed its predecessor both in weight and in size almost twice!
      As a result, the Soviet Navy received such a variety of anti-ship missiles that even now it is impossible to mention them all ... Moreover, they were of such size that it was impossible to install them on ships of the previous construction.

      Of course, supersonic knock down is easier, because there are fewer of them. For modern air defense systems, supersonic air targets are not a problem. And at the end of the last century, supersonic air target was not a problem, both our and American air defense systems were shot down. For air defense systems of the end of the last century, the problem was the interception of several air targets with low EPR flying from different directions.

    “During the Second World War, armored cruisers of similar size withstood much stronger blows without serious consequences. During the battle in Leyte Gulf, Takeo Kurita's squadron went for three hours under continuous attacks, in which up to 500 American aircraft took part. Despite the lead rain from heaven, all Kurita ships returned to Japan (except three, but they died for a different reason). The secret of the trick is simple - at that time the Yankees had only ordinary "fugasks" and did not have torpedoes. "

    and now let's remember how it was with Taffy-3 and Kurita's compound: "..." Suzuya "received 2 bombs and was badly damaged. Its speed dropped to 23 knots, and it also turned to the left ... "" ... "Chokai" received severe damage and stood without a move. Therefore, the destroyer "Fujinami" was ordered to remove the command from her and sink the cruiser with torpedoes. In turn, "Novaki" took off the crew of "Tikuma" and sank the cruiser. At 9.50, 30 planes attacked the Suzuya. At 10.00 he received a torpedo in the nose, lost control and began to roll. After 2 new hits by torpedoes, he sank ... "

    and where is some other reason why ???

    By the way, Paul Dall, whom you and I, Oleg love to mention on occasion, declares the following in his work: "The results of the battle (this is about the battle in Leyte Gulf) showed definitively and undoubtedly that even the most powerful combination of artillery ships without air cover now has no chance."

    This is about the issue of booking, submarines and air cover, the importance of which you deny

    I repeat. Americans build their ships without armor based on the use of Soviet missiles on them. Our build ships based on the characteristics of the American. For some reason, the author does not indicate how thick the armor should be placed against granites and what to do with burning fuel residues. And does not indicate whether domestic large ships are booked. Without this, such articles make sense if you indicate that calculations and examples are given for an imaginary war, when the parties will use American and similar missiles and ships, and the Soviet PRK and ships will not participate in it.
    In addition, the author does not pay attention to the fact that in addition to the armor from the ships, numerous large-caliber guns also disappeared. Apparently, based on the experience of WWII, a conclusion was drawn that both weapons and defense were not effective. If a big war happens and it is decided that the armor is effective, the ships will begin to armor.

    Well, for starters, it is worth considering "ship survivability" as a complex concept. And the presence of passive protection (and booking is exactly it) today is not the only element included in this concept. In general, no one has canceled the booking as an element of protection - practically all modern ships have one or another structural protection provided. Well, the fact that it does not look like the armor belt so beloved by the author (and taking into account the fact that most modern ASPs are designed to defeat the deck first of all, it is more likely to talk about armored ships), then there is an elementary calculation of efficiency. On any dispute between "shell and armor", the shell wins. And here the only solution that suggests itself is to ensure the prevention of this very "shell" to the board. This is how ship defense systems develop. But the case is that someone still breaks through and serves as a constructive protection of the posts of survivability and "key positions".
    In general, armor should not be considered a "panacea". Perhaps it is somewhat neglected and more can be squeezed out of a rational booking system with the widespread use of modern composites. But in any case, this is a kind of compromise in which something will have to be sacrificed.

    And one more "remark on the topic" - the relatively low survivability of modern ships is also connected with the fact that there was no one to fight for this very survivability. With a crew of one and a half hundred people, there is simply no need to talk about the timely sealing of a hole or extinguishing a fire if the automation is out of order.

    The first alarm was sounded during the Falkland War (1982) - one of the British ships (Sheffield) burned down and sank from one of the unexploded RCC stuck in its hull.

The kinetic energy when a rocket hits the side of the ship was enough to ignite in the compartments of the ship even without a warhead rocket explosion.

    2 × Oerlikon 20 mm automatic gun
    4 × MM38 Exocet Rocket

        I wrote about really destroyed (sunk - irrecoverable losses) ships. 7 ships were destroyed. Your list contains ships that were damaged and later returned to service or decommissioned. My reaction was to the words of the author of the article: "Her Majesty's unarmed frigates were drowned like puppies."
        A-4 Skyhawk was created as an attack aircraft, and also as a deck attack aircraft. The car was excellent and tenacious. She did her work as it should. If I am not mistaken, the Su - 25 attack aircraft was created later than the A-4 Skyhawk, but is also subsonic. It’s just that these planes are designed for a specific job. The British during the Falkland War, in addition to long-range bombers, used BAE Sea Harrier aircraft. Also subsonic. Maximum speed - 1 km / h (182 meters per second)

          The British were lucky that 80% of Argentine bombs did not explode - otherwise, they would have lost all the ships listed. So the phrase "drowned like puppies" is completely justified. From such a weak enemy - they suffered such terrible losses, a third of the squadron was down the drain

    I am already reading the fifth or sixth article about the benefits of armor on a ship. Again, all the same arguments, the same examples. And again, stop mid-sentence! If the authors prove the usefulness of armor so convincingly, then I would like to see their vision of a rational scheme for booking a surface ship. Only by the example of a modern, with advanced superstructures, and not a monitor-like "Marat" or the like. The example of the modernization of "Albany" given in the article shows how the compact well-armored turrets of the main battery are being replaced by huge superstructures, which are completely devoid of armor, so as not to increase the "upper weight". In addition, the armor belt on the "Baltimore" covered far from one hundred percent of the side area. I suppose that the conning tower at Albany also disappeared during the modernization to reduce the weight of the superstructures.

      Antennas like our Niobium will be shitty of course.
      But who said they were "modern"?
      There is such a thing as semi-active and passive phased array antennas.
      Enlightened and reflective.
      In the architecture of the Stelt add-ons fit perfectly (the same Zamvolta).
      Structurally, not weaker than the armor - especially in the overhead version. For example, the front plate of a T72 tank made of fiberglass - and this is the basis material of such antenna arrays. And he himself can carry the function of armor.
      In terms of resistance to EMR - no worse than tube systems - everything is active and gentle in the depths of the steel casing, and the waveguides to them are easily protected by plasma switches. Moreover, the waveguides themselves are also not fragile and can be made of the same textolite.
      "Electric telegraphs" on the ships of the second Pacific squadron in the Tsushima Strait worked until the ships were submerged or the generators were turned off. Even numerous fires were not a problem for them. And the Japanese "treated" the superstructures and hulls of the ships of the Russian squadron with land mines with shimose.
      No problem.

    The conclusion is straightforward - should happen something epicso that the battleships will return to the open sea. And the fact that this will happen sooner or later, no doubt.

    Well, why there used to be armadillos, but now it’s not (not needed) it’s clear:
    -high-precision, "long-range", guided, maneuverable weapons
    -New SCS and guidance
    - The "compactness" of the weapon (203 mm gun and the battleship's naval tower) cannot be put on a canoe, but an anti-ship missile system, in principle, yes ..
    -the cost (not energy) of steel production and the volume of its consumption in the world
    armadillos are unlikely to return (in the traditional sense) ... and the answer lies, oddly enough, in the fundamentals, in the concepts of ENERGY and the Law of conservation of energy (or rather its consequences).
    Armor always, with rare exceptions, lost to the striking element (even when only the physical strength of a person was used. And the thing is:
    -the armor is made for a LONG time and SOMETHING, SOMEWHERE-SOMETHING and she needs to protect the WHOLE object / subject
    - the means of attack (its energy supply) acts very LOCALLY (pointwise), INSTANTLY (practically), here and now

    1. energy consumption for "receiving" per ton: Density 7700-7900 kg / m³ is 0,128m3 of armor we get for 100mm \u1,28d XNUMX mXNUMX per sq. armor plate
    / electricity consumption in electric steelmaking in Russia in recent years has grown and amounted to more than 2000 kWh / t of steel in old furnaces in 750, which is 15–40% more than in Japan and Germany /
    2. Kinetic energy of a moving body (projectile / RCC) + warhead energy (cumulative, brilliant, high-explosive, etc.)
    Not a complicated calculation shows -WAKE! ALWAYS!

    Conclusion?
    To ensure "non-penetration" and protect the booked volume, either / or:
    1. "Spend at least" a minimum "(of course, more, with a margin) the same energy on the site (AT LEAST) of penetrating / overcoming armor, AS THE TOTAL ENERGY OF THE MEANS OF DAMAGE
    2. Destroy the damaging element on the approach path, in advance, before contact with the protected object, change its physicochemical properties
    3. Create such conditions for him on the approach trajectory and in the affected area so that he would change his trajectory, lose his kinetic and / or "internal (chemical, nuclear, etc.) energy of the warhead, change his physicochemical properties.

      2. Implemented. Realized and will be realized, since the striking element is one by one (the carrier is far away), and the attacked object is next to the means of protection, At least the same chains on Carrots and side screens on tanks
      - a sharp impact on the projectile / pcr: heating by millions of degrees - heating, cooling is not suitable (the absolute minimum is -273 gC), which changes its fx properties. For example: microwave currents, magnetic fields, "spitting" of high-temperature plasma or antimatter towards, and so on.
      - irradiate it with something that makes the explosive charge non-explosive (vary the parameters of the Higgs field a bit, for example, strictly locally)
      3.Wide field for fantasy:
      - a sharp change in the environment on the flight path of the projectile / PCR (local vacuum, shot 1 m3 of water per meeting, mythical plasma, etc.)
      -Kick it (shell / RCC) into another dimension (Mobius strip?)
      -Kick him (shell / RCC) at another time (10 minutes?)?
      4. Invisibles, knock down the control unit, redirect it to the simulator, to the fake?

      - armadillos can return only in case all Berks are knocked out, all anti-ship missiles, SD are shot for $ 10, and then it’s necessary to fight (to carry out the BZ), Iowa’s boom, that is (in the near foreseeable future) no renaissance expected.

          the holidays are over !! SNOW FINALLY FALLS OUT OF PETERS !!! (though not enough)

          and what?
          1. About Higgs:
          If the Higgs field is slightly reduced, the first generation quarks (up and down), which are part of nucleons (protons and neutrons), will slightly “lose weight”. However, the masses of nucleons are mainly determined not by the mass of quarks, but by the energy of their binding in the nucleus with the help of gluons, which far exceeds the sum of the masses of bare quarks. So that the nuclei of all elements will become lighter, but very slightly. However, the matter is not limited to easy weight loss.

          A decrease in the Higgs field will also lead to a decrease in the mass of W bosons - carriers of weak interaction, which is responsible, in particular, for beta decay processes. This will lead to an increase in the Fermi constant, which determines the intensity of nuclear transformations of this type. As a result, nuclei that are unstable due to weak interaction and undergo beta decay will decay more frequently.

          Ours and the Americans have created an emitter that turns nuclear weapons into ballast ...

        The main reason for leaving the battle of ships in Tsushima was the loss of buoyancy. As for Oslyaby, Borodino, Alexander, they were sunk just from the impact of HE shells. Suvorov and Oryol were brought to a helpless state by them too (HE shells). Sweet Sistine offers a stronghold, just like armadillos. As a result, they quite quickly went to the bottom due to huge holes in the unarmored ends. After that, there was another extreme: the first Russian dreadnoughts were booked by almost one hundred percent of the board area. True, this armor was pierced by armor-piercing shells of peers of other countries at almost all battle distances. So it’s not so simple.

                the trick is that, having lost a tip on the water, both cruisers and destroyers and sea hunters kept on. the loss of a flooded tip is rather a blessing and a chance to save the ship. And not only in WWII, but also earlier. (The destroyer Zubiets, for example, was assembled from the halves of Zulus and Nubian.) But the uninterrupted tip usually pulled the ship to the bottom like a stone.

                1. The impact of enemy fire and the elements, in my opinion, are fundamentally different. And then, as Tlauikol correctly noted, the severed tip is more likely to be good for the ship than it is flooded. In addition to trim / roll, the presence of a large free surface of water in the ship's hull leads to a decrease in metacentric height and, consequently, to a loss of stability. Designing the ship’s hull with the expectation of complete separation of unarmored extremities in the presence of combat damage is completely absurd.
                2. There are currently no contracts limiting the displacement. There are economic realities, due to which so far no country has started building destroyers with a displacement tending to 20000 tons.
                3. Maybe it will not break. However, it is necessary to answer the question: is it more difficult to build a ship with an onboard belt of 102 mm or to modify anti-ship missiles in order to increase its characteristics?
                4. As already mentioned above, breakdowns and loss of tip are not the same thing. By the way, it’s not strong in the history of WWII, can you tell me cases of loss of two extremities by a ship that ended in a happy ending?

                    1. Perhaps. In case of a mine explosion, hull structures between 2-3 watertight bulkheads would suffer, which, again, probably would not have caused such catastrophic consequences as a long breakdown received from a tangential impact on an iceberg.
                    2. I would like to ask, the example of Seydlitz refutes the fact of the flooding of Borodino, Alexander, severe damage to Suvorov (flooded subsequently) and Orel? Another example - Bismarck was turned by the British LC Rodney and King George into a flaming skeleton, and its citadel was not broken, the ship was completely small, but there were no explosions. The fact that Bismarck was finished off by torpedoes (although also a moot point) does not change the essence. At this point, he was in even worse shape than Suvorov before drowning, or Eagle before surrender.
                    3. The Hyuuga example is not entirely correct, I think you yourself understand this. In this case, it refers to terminology, not shipbuilding. With the same success, we can classify the Mistral as destroyers and rejoice that they built the destroyer more than Zwolt.
                    4. I disagree with you. Similar "... unsolvable problems ..." will arise during the construction of the "battleship". According to the list: ".. the cost, size, decrease in the number of carriers (and this is the main thing) begin to grow sharply". Only for some reason you think that in relation to a product weighing several tons, this is critical, and in relation to a product weighing 10000 - 15000 tons, these factors can be neglected.
                    5. I asked about the extremities, bearing in mind the hull structures, and not the movers.

            Those. a cruiser that has lost its nasal tip during a hurricane and no one fired at it at the same time is presented as a model of strength and unsinkability? Respect. In addition, he has a standard displacement of about 14000 tons, a total of over 17000 tons. For comparison, Burke IIA has a total displacement of 10000 tons. Those. Pittsburgh is heavier than Burke almost twice with 102 mm of armor at the waterline. Which, in my opinion, cannot be a panacea for RCC.

        The main reason for leaving the battle of ships in Tsushima was the loss of buoyancy. As for Oslyaby, Borodino, Alexander, they were sunk just from the impact of HE shells. Suvorov and Oryol were brought to a helpless state by them too (HE shells). Sweet Sistine offers a stronghold, just like armadillos. As a result, they quite quickly went to the bottom due to huge holes in the unarmored ends. After that, there was another extreme: the first Russian dreadnoughts were booked by almost one hundred percent of the board area. True, this armor was pierced by armor-piercing shells of peers of other countries at almost all battle distances. So it’s not so simple.

    the main goal of a unit or formation is the fulfillment of a combat mission. I think that in the event of a serious conflict, the fight for the survivability of the ship will probably not be on the conscience of the designers, but on the conscience of the commanders and crews.

    I would like to walk a little through the history of the confrontation between armor and a projectile. And it, as you know, began with a battle between "Virginia" and "Monitor". They developed further as a means of attack (the caliber of the series grew, the projectile speed increased, various tips for penetrating armor, new types of explosives were invented. Protection did not stand still: the thickness of armor grew, new types of armor steel were created, depending on the type of ship and its assignments, various booking schemes were invented. A jump in one area meant a response in another. Everything was in a more or less state, similar to equilibrium. And of course, the fight for the survivability of the team itself played a lot in defense.
    Under Tsushima, for example, the Japanese practiced the tactics of firing high-explosive shells, which brought victory in that battle. It consisted in disabling the unarmored parts of the ship. But the then school of armor meant, within a certain displacement, to protect the most important parts of the ship from armor-piercing shells. it was assumed that several large shells would hit in a "fair" battle in the line (each matelot of one formation against it in another). The Japanese concentrated fire several at a time, and since most of the ship's silhouette is unarmored, the destruction of large volumes of the hull led to a violation of combat effectiveness. The fires burned ships without breaking through the armor. Then the change in battle tactics led to the victory of the Japanese fleet, but not to the victory of the shell over the armor. In the future, the designers found an adequate answer to those tactics - an increase in the area of ​​the armored side and superstructures with a natural decrease in thickness. Against the Japanese tactics, that would be enough. Examples: Russian "Rurik II" and dreadnoughts of the "Sevastopol" type.
    But the battle distances increased, and the calibers of the main battery guns increased, and hence the mass of the projectile. Therefore, the Russian path was out of work. The solution was to increase the thickness of the armor with a certain differentiation within a certain displacement. But one should not forget about other combat parameters of the ship, because there is also speed (mass of the boiler-machine group), cruising range (fuel reserves, and therefore also a piece of displacement). Balance came to the fore. And the predominance of some elements over others sometimes led to contradictions. But the increase in displacement also entailed an increase in the cost of the ship. Examples: German battleships of the First World War (predominance of protection), British battle cruisers (predominance of speed data and gun power over protection). Later this confrontation resulted in a textbook battle between Bismarck and Hood. Who is fond of stories, he knows the results of major battles at sea in the First World War and their results.

    So that this homologated battleship enters the landfill with an order from 5-6 South Korean modern ships and guts them into the trash.

    Further. Between the wars, the military also changed with shipbuilding thoughts. The increase in the thickness of the armor could not be infinite, so the designers came up with a way out in the form of giving the angle of inclination of the armor plates, which led to a decrease in the thickness of the armor without loss of resistance. They also began to divide the thickness of the armor layer into several parts to reduce the damaging properties of shells (Italian battleships of the Vittorio Veneto type, American Washington DCs and the following types with their armor inside the hull.) The same applies to ships of other classes (cruisers , armadillos among the Scandinavians), only in smaller proportions, respectively.
    But completely new types of deliveries of shells to armor (aircraft, missiles) were already emerging. An even greater increase in the reservation or its area would lead to an imbalance in the structure of the use of the ship. The skew in the use of missiles over shells led to the destruction of the ship’s armor even before it hit the armor. The armor turned into radars for detecting, tracking, guiding defense systems (air defense systems). And this is the piece of displacement that was previously occupied by the armor . With the change of the weapon of attack, the defense also changed, which from passive turned into active. Instead of large guns, RCC became, and instead of armor became anti-aircraft missiles.
    So the question of confronting armor and shell has not gone away. The concepts themselves simply transformed. And the installation of armor passive to active armor will entail an imbalance of balance within the allotted displacement, and therefore entail an increase in the cost of the ship as a whole. But the development of electronics leads to the fact that the guided missile will hit the ship in the unarmored part, making the appearance of armor pointless. And this is the new Tsushima in battle tactics.
    These are just my opinions on this article. I could have stated it more clearly and more. Laziness. feel
    Those who are familiar with the development of the Navy as a whole will understand what I am talking about.

        And "Molotov" tore off the stern - he also returned to the base. This speaks only of the quality of the building at that time.
        Check out the armor that can withstand modern anti-missile systems, the cockpits, the conning tower (you are the command center), the Engine Room, the ammunition store, and the modern destroyer and see how much the displacement will increase. But then the destroyer will become a pocket battleship. But then the corps remains. Any missile into the waterline - and amba. Bul-bul. Example: "Cole". Protect the hull at least with a citadel along the power plant compartments and cellars, plus the combat deck (no one has canceled the bombs yet), then everything else turns into ruins with the ensuing consequences. A major (at least good) booking today is a dead end, that's my opinion.
        The only thing is that there can be a local anti-shatter reservation of control posts to mitigate damage and the best possible separation into waterproof compartments. With the coordinated work of the crew in eliminating the consequences of the defeat of the RCC, the ship can be saved soldier

            To smash an unarmored superstructure to smithereens, one rocket is enough. The energy of the explosion plus the mass of fragments turns the stuffed with electronics and various bells and whistles such as radars, antennas, the skeleton of the superstructure into a mass of iron. Plus the fires. Just don't talk about booking the entire ship - nonsense. Book the Orly Burke and at the end of the day, keeping the same displacement, you will receive a trough with weakened weapons or a short cruising range. The weight of the armor must be compensated for.
            The armor was intended to protect the ship from shells. And they are an order of magnitude lighter and have less BB than cruise missiles. Therefore, it is easier and more effective to prevent the entry of a modern rocket than to defend with armor. There were guns - there was armor. Missiles began - air defense appeared. Means of attack changed - means of defense changed.

      It is still not known for certain whether the Comet hit the armor belt or passed higher.

      And the "armored cruiser Krasny Kavkaz" itself - a small old bucket built in 1916 - is as armored as a Chinese ballerina from you.

        Is Nakhimov a bike too or is it too old? and there were plenty of subsonic missiles weighing 1.5 - 5 tons. Moreover, they are still being produced and developed (Club or Chinese art, for example). As it turned out, for a subsonic rocket, a tonne of 2 meters of concrete is no longer the limit.

    Hanging armor is useless. Can you imagine what will happen to the ship when it gets into the wheelhouse 250-1000kg of warhead? The ship will not be able to fight. It can be added to repair shipyards if the fire does not finish or the second rocket.

    The same tomahawks have armor-piercing / concrete-piercing versions. And most importantly, they were successfully used to defeat Iraqi bunkers. If it breaks through reinforced concrete a couple of meters thick, it will also break through steel, there would be a target. And if this hypersonic rocket will be?

    No armor can protect a modern ship. Only the limited reservation of vital systems currently in use.

    Did booking Yamato help the same? Any reservation is a reduction in the net weight that the ship can carry. That is, equipment, ammunition, etc. And modern PC tools can hit the ship from any position, anywhere incapacitating complex combat systems.

    The armor on the ship is not out of date at all and is needed by modern ships, with a competent approach to designing and choosing the thickness of armor protection, such modern ships will be ten times survivable and only very slightly more expensive, ceteris paribus. Here I fully agree with the author. To modern electronic countermeasures, designed to lead the missile from the ship, it is necessary to add a decent reservation and this is the zero), which will make the unit ten. In my opinion, everything is back to square one and the ships will soon begin to make a very decent reservation.
