How much does an armored cruiser cost?

On a combat ship, the price is all the same. Death.

New adventures of the super cruiser “Nevulzimimets” in the format of market relations. The main question on the agenda is “How much?”

War requires money, money, and more money. How much will it cost? At one time, the battleships were more expensive aircraft carriers. For an armored ship you need a huge number of armored steel, increased manufacturing complexity, engine of a different level. How many times does it cost more?

Comment by MaxWRX

And the reason is a huge and very expensive hippo, for which there are no corresponding tasks. The monster is the size of an aircraft carrier, and it will be armed as a destroyer - because the entire displacement reserve will devour the armor.

Comment by Aspeed

Dear colleagues, if you consider that a highly protected ship is several times more expensive than a usual unarmored destroyer, then you think so in vain. A number of obvious evidence inevitably indicates that the differences in the cost of construction will be within 10-15%.

At first glance, this seems impossible. Thin lining of the sides and high-grade armored steel with a thickness of a half ten centimeters. Household logic refuses to believe that the process of manufacturing and assembling armor plates can be the same in cost and labor costs of the process of manufacturing ordinary sheeting. The explanation of the paradox is a simple fact: the hull of a modern ship does not stand ANYTHING against the background of its high-tech “stuffing”.

This is the case when “the game is not worth the candle burned”. The destroyer corps is such an insignificant line of expenses that there’s nothing even to argue about. Even if it is made entirely of superalloys with alloying additives in the form of tungsten, the cost of its production will still be less than the cost of radars and weapons.

Let's see this with real examples.

200-meter landing “Mistral”. With helicopter lifts, a docking chamber, interior trim, a flagship command post, a Zerit-9 CMS (which has little to do with C-systems installed on destroyers, but still). Radar, communications, and other military systems. Advertised amenities, hospital and gym. Finnish diesel generators and Azipod steering wheels.

The contract with the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation provided for the payment of 600 million euros for each of the two UDC. How much of this amount was the cost directly to manufacture the hull of a huge ship?

Even more paradoxical example:

The notorious supertanker “Sirius Star” (Daewoo, South Korea, 2008 year). The length of the 332 meter. Empty displacement ~ 50 th. Tons. Deadweight 318 KT The cost of building a marine leviathan was 150 million.

150 million - an unusually huge amount due to the outstanding dimensions of the “Sirius Star”. Conventional commercial tankers are much cheaper.

A series of tankers of mixed navigation (river-sea) of the project 19614 (“Red Sormovo”, Russia, 2002-2011). The length of 141 meter, deadweight - 5600 tons. Unit cost - 6 million.

From the point of view of war, six million is nothing. Three missiles "Caliber". Disappearingly small amount by the standards of the modern Navy.

As for a purely civilian tanker, in addition to the hull, this cost includes all electrical fittings, a fire extinguishing system, 12 isolated tanks with pumps and a heating system for viscous cargoes, navigational aids, residential equipment and, of course, a power plant. In order to prevent oil spills, the tanker Project 19614 has a double side and a double bottom.

It took no less metal than it did when building a warship of the ocean zone. In this sense, the tanker Ave. 19614 is a weight-size analogue of the American Aegis destroyer. At the same time, their cost inexplicably differs by almost three orders of magnitude!

In 2011, the Pentagon signed a contract for the construction of three missile destroyers equipped with the Aegis system (“John Finn”, “Ralph Johnson”, “Raphael Peralta”). For the construction of each ship, amounts from 679 to 783 million were allocated.

But do not rush to stigmatize American militarism for excessive greed and waste of funds. This amount (600-700 million) is indicated WITHOUT accounting for the Aegis system. In original: do not include The government-provided equipment such as the FY2011 / 12 per vessel.

Those. with a full set of radars, consoles and fire control devices installed, the cost of each of the destroyers will amount to the indicated $ 1,842 million, and in fact - even more expensive. There are 90 rocket launchers aboard the ship. Each may contain a Tomahawk strike ($ 2 million) or a Standard anti-aircraft missile ($ 4 million). In addition to them, each of the destroyers regularly carries two multipurpose MH-60 helicopters ($ 20 million each), a wide range of aviation weapons (very expensive) and unmanned underwater vehicles.

Taking into account the ammunition and additional equipment, the cost of a modern destroyer will boldly exceed 2 billion evergreen dollars.

Great numbers!

It remains to find the answer to some questions.

Destroyer - this is the battleship of the twenty-first century!

The modern destroyer-class warship represents a floating treasure chest, the loss of which can cause irreparable damage to the budget.

The Yankees with their printing press can build “Berki” in series of 60 units, saving money through standardization and bulk purchase of equipment.

Fleets other countries have even harder: their piece products are truly “gold”. And the countries themselves, capable of building a ship for $ 2 billion, can now be counted on the fingers.

Destroyers - warships of the ocean zone with air defense / missile defense systems and universal weapons are currently being built by the United Kingdom, Japan, India and China. A pair of pieces is available in the French and Italian Navy.
And yet!

This surprisingly repeats the situation that was observed in the early twentieth century. The modern destroyer (“Burke”, “Daring” or Indian “Kolkata”) is an analogue of the expensive “Dreadnought”, which everyone wanted, but only few could really allow.

Russia has the sixth largest fleet in the world (and we are in third place for a number of indicators). But the construction of the domestic destroyer is postponed indefinitely. The shipyard “Red Sormovo” can thresh hulls of any shape for 6 millions. Another question - what to put inside? Where are the domestic counterparts AMDR and “standard-6”? Where, even when choosing the type of GEM, universal disputes arise. However, it's not about that.

We come close to the burning question:

Why so expensive?

Because it is VERY difficult. A radar capable of discerning targets in Earth orbit. A rocket capable of intercepting another rocket (just like a bullet hit a bullet!) Or destroy an enemy satellite. A sonar of thousands of hydrophones capable of “groping” the submarines, firing torpedoes, and even simply finding mines in the water column, many miles from the ship. There are quite a few systems on the modern destroyer, the capabilities of which can only be explained using dark magic.

It turns out that the body (power set, plating, valves, internal bulkheads), together with the power plant of the four most powerful gas turbines (100 ths hp), fuel valves, propellers, electrical system with its power sources (three Allison gas turbine generators), compressors, power drives, elevators and conveyors, decoration and equipment for residential premises 300 people makes up only a third of the cost of a modern destroyer.

How much falls directly on the hull of the ship (the cost of purchasing thousands of tons of metal, manufacturing and installation of metal structures)? If we take into account the above examples with supertankers, then no more than 100 million dollars.

Only such an answer. A modern, unarmored “tin” in terms of hull design is in no way different from a civilian ship.

Increased resistance to hydrodynamic shocks (additional frames of the power set), five armor bulkheads one inch thick (“Burk” starting from subseries No. 2) and anti-nuclear protection (as tight as possible with a minimum of holes) are all small things that cannot or influence the situation.

What to argue, if there was a threefold difference from the beginning: 700 million (hull, power plant and all internal “stuffing”) - against 1,8 billion for a fully ready ship (without ammunition).

Even if tens of millions have settled in someone’s pocket (war is the most profitable business), this does not change the essence. The case is worth nothing compared to other items of expenditure. Feel free to add thousands more tons of steel structures and armor plates - this does not affect the cost of a modern warship.

For cost, what type of missile is installed in the CWP cells is much more important.

Playing on “pot odds”

The one who plays poker is familiar with the situation. It is necessary to deliver to the bank an amount that is incommensurable with that which is already “at stake”. And let your chances are small, but at the cost of minimal costs you can grab a huge sum.

In the case of a highly protected ship, it is no longer about ghostly luck. This is a real benefit: 150 mm Krupp armor will protect against all existing anti-ship weapons, MB, except for the most exotic ammunition (endangered “Granit”, etc.). The guarantee is the experience of sea battles. Where hard-bodied discs could not cope at two speeds of sound, subsonic plastic “Harpoons” have nothing to catch.

Even when meeting with the exotic three-winged Onyx / Caliber, the presence of armor plates would prevent serious damage to the ship from the wreckage of the downed missile (a real precedent is a fire on the Entrym frigate, after falling into the superstructure of the downed target, 1983).

Understanding (and correctly understanding) that conventional attack patterns would not work, the participants in the discussion suggested original ways of “reprisal”. For example, to undermine a cluster munition above a ship, which at one time mutilate all detection means, the deck and the Superstructure “Invincible”.

Fine, no one paid attention that delivery of ammunition to the specified point (at a height of a couple of tens of meters OVER the ship) would require some maneuvers. What is great will increase the vulnerability of ammunition (compared to low-flying anti-ship missiles) and give extra seconds to air defense calculations. After all, the creators of the “Invincible” are not going to abandon the “Dirks”, “Goalkeepers” and other active defenses.

Increase the mass of missile warheads, follow them in a tandem pattern, pervert as you wish. In total there will be one - the growth of the RCC mass and dimensions, coupled with a reduction in the number of their possible carriers. What will again be in the hands of the ship's air defense system.

Instead of an epilogue

An indirect confirmation of all these theses is the situation of the first half of the 20th century, when the developed powers massively built "monsters" without encountering difficulties with the treatment of thick armor plates. What are the 330-mm “walls of the super dreadnoughts Queen Elizabeth” (1915) worth! Without automatic plasma cutting, 3D printers and CNC machines.

That is because the magicians were shipbuilders in the past century. Probably, their secrets are lost forever, as well as the recipe for the gnome steel.

Comment by kalach

During World War II, the Americans built the 12 LKR and LK, not counting the 20 heavy cruisers of the Baltimore and Co. family, as well as the 27 “light” cruise ships of the “Cleveland” type. The thickness of the latter’s armor plates reached 127 mm, while the “De Moines” armor protection (the most sophisticated TKR) consisted of 150 mm belts and 90 mm decks.

Almost 60 supercars. Modern unarmored destroyers, with their mass character, rest.

When building the “Invincible” you can use the best materials and technologies of both eras. Krupp armored steel with a cemented outer layer, ceramics, Kevlar, a unique “perforated armor” (which should not be seen as a set of holes, but as a system of sharp solid edges that tear up ammunition and dissipate its energy). Etc. Etc.

The thickness of armor plates: against modern ammunition, six inches is enough (of course, the reservation scheme is differential). Pay special attention to the system of isolated compartments and internal splinter bulkheads: breaking through the first layer does not mean that the ship is out of order.

And, of course, the appearance and layout of the “Invincibles” will not be similar to any of the existing ships or cruisers of the past.

What is the mass of armor? According to the roughest estimates (15% of the standard displacement, as on the heaviest TKR of the Second World War period) ~ 2 thousand tons for the ship, similar in capabilities and composition of armament to the destroyer “Arly Burk”.

How to ensure the buoyancy of this “iron”? Obviously, additional volume of the case. There are no international tonnage restrictions in our time. And the cost of the steel structures themselves is vanishingly small against the background of other expenditure items (which was discussed in the main part of the article). The power plant will remain unchanged - the speed of a ship correlates poorly with the increase in displacement, the insinuations in the 3 node do not matter.

However, all this particular.

The main idea is that the booking installation costs pennies (against the background of the same ammunition), while providing the ship with unique opportunities. Combat stability, survivability and immunity to conventional means of air attack, unprecedented for modern Ajgis.

I look forward to examples when a ship with a torn tip continued to actively participate in the operation. Those. not just falling afloat and shooting back from trying to finish him off the enemy forces, but continued active actions. Active - this means looking for new opponents on the battlefield, getting close to them, and sought to destroy them.

The question is rhetorical, but requires clarification. I am not a general, but I know that in military art there is a principle of concentration of efforts and massiveness. If a ship leaves the battle - regardless of whether it remained afloat or not - it no longer affects the course of the battle. And this is exactly what the enemy needs - the erosion of attacking forces. It is not necessary to drown - the main thing is not to let it act. And this is precisely what is dangerous for their own people - this combat unit is needed here and now, and not sometime later, after repair, when it may be too late. Imagine that this one with his nose torn off was supposed to support the Marines' artillery fire in a decisive attack somewhere on Guadalcanal. But his nose was torn off and he did not complete the task. As a result, the marines failed the attack, the Japanese launched a counterattack, threw the marines into the sea, etc. The whole operation failed, hundreds of soldiers died - but our lucky one, even with his nose torn off, is still alive. What's the use?

So why pretend? You well understand that on 100% he will not perform such a task. A torn nose does not affect artillery, that's for sure. But this is not a computer game, who will let him calmly engage in artillery preparation while remaining motionless (or sedentary)? If it were so simple, you would have towed a barge with field army cannons, anchored, shot, towed back to the port. Why bother fleet at all if you can get by with a tugboat and a barge?

That same month, the British Worspite came under attack from guided bombs. The veteran of both world wars clearly did not expect such a gift of fate. The bomb pierced the battleship through and through, making an 6-meter hole in its bottom through which 5000 tons of sea water came. The close rupture of another “Fritz” damaged the anti-torpedo defense of the battleship, the third bomb detonated at a distance without causing Warspite harm. Despite the heavy injuries, the losses among the Worspite crew were small: only 9 dead and 14 wounded.

The lost battleship was evacuated to Malta, from where he was transferred to England. Six months later, “Worspayt” was returned to combat capability. 6 June 1944, the ship first opened fire on the German fortifications in Normandy.

13 June 1944 years in the English Channel at Harwich the battleship was blown up by a mine. Coming out of repair at the beginning of August 1944, the battleship had only three of the four operating screws - they did not rebuild the fourth shaft, the speed dropped to 15 nodes.

On August 25, HMS Warspite attacked coastal batteries near Brest. In early September, he moved to the Le Havre region, where he launched a series of attacks on ground targets, and at the end of the month, he bombarded the German forces at the mouth of the Scheldt near Antwerp. On November 1, he launched a series of attacks on targets on the island of Valeeheren. This was the last battle operation of the battleship.

The fact that it was then repaired - I do not argue with that, it's wonderful. But the main goal is to withstand and not lose combat effectiveness on the spot. Or did the Worpsite crew ask the combatants not to disperse? Right now, we will drive you to repair and will return, you will freeze here for now, and when we return we will show you whoa!

The analogy with the battleship is not appropriate. The place of the battleship as the main striking force of the fleet today is occupied by aircraft carriers. Moreover, the actions of the LC and AB, both then and now, provide numerous unarmored or lightly armored escort forces - destroyers and cruisers. During WWII, for some reason, no one demanded that the destroyers, frigates and light cruisers be protected with bulletproof armor, and they somehow managed.

Well, not with his nose torn off, right? This is again not in favor of advanced booking. An artillery ship can retain the ability to fight while at least one weapon with a servant is alive. Even without centralized control - but fire is possible. With rocket ships, that won't work. If the radar or intra-ship communications are out of order, you cannot shoot missiles manually and by eye. Although it may be all the ammunition cellars are intact. The point in this situation is to hide the power plant under the shell? The armor of modern ships is their missiles. They prevent problems. While the armor only reduces the severity of the consequences. This does not mean that booking is bad - it is necessary, but its role is deeply secondary. And there is no sense in "anti-missile" solid armor, there is only sense in anti-splinter armor.

The presence or absence of a radar does not in any way affect the ability to launch "Calibers". Or anti-submarine rocket torpedoes. Or shooting from the main battery for the gorizornt

"intra-ship communications" - as long as there is power supply and the launcher is not damaged, missiles pose a threat to the enemy. The destruction of the CIC, hidden in the depths of the hull, behind a dozen echelons of active and constructive protection - if the fire and explosion products even got there, it means that the ship is destroyed.

I agree. But a modern rocket ship is not being created for the sake of Caliber and PLUR alone. If our ship is soaked so that the radar is out of order, it means that there is no time for the "Caliber" at this second. Until recently, the main tasks of ships of the frigate-destroyer-cruiser classes were air defense, anti-aircraft defense and anti-aircraft defense. Suffice it to look at the composition of the weapons of our Slava or a typical BK "Burka". PLO is still God bless him, but anti-aircraft missile defense and air defense without radar control center - nothing. No control center - they will finish it off at any moment.

It is interesting how the pre-launch info on the approximate direction of the target’s location, if it’s beyond the radio horizon, comes from the SAM with the AGSN. I know - balloons with helicopters. Well, yes, this is possible until the balloon blew away in Pennsylvania on October 28, and until the helicopter was shot down. You can, you can.

They say that the combat stability of external sources of command and control is a very big problem, because as soon as your helicopter sees the target, the target sees it too. But the goal does not want to die, and if it has the means, it will work out the helicopter with pleasure. And then how lucky. Therefore, no one wants to rely solely on balloons with helicopters, and the radars on the tops of the masts remain, as do the antennas of electronic warfare systems (in terms of reconnaissance of radiation sources). And you want to shove them under the armor, turning the warship into an immersible armored submarine. With such a concept, it’s better to immediately build some submarines, they have stronger sonar acoustics and the ability to maneuver in three dimensions. Again, they easily sink aircraft carriers - beauty, right?

Ship superstructures with radar antennas and equipment are unprotected parts.
Pike-class cruise missiles have been able to destroy superstructures to the core, from stern to bow, for six decades.
Without radars, the ships in the AUG are transformed into cargo ships, despite any thickness of the armor of the side and deck. After that the aircraft carrier can be taken with "bare hands".
Therefore, ships must be protected as a whole, and not just the sides and deck. This can only be achieved with the help of a complex of active defense - a missile defense system.
Armor is an anachronism.

I suggest everyone to look at this post, and most importantly look at the name of the expert

And I'm waiting for a comment from Oleg

[Nikita Dmitriev]

Then asked the opinion of the shipbuilders?
I work at the Baltic Shipyard as a design engineer for 2cat. Before that, I worked at Almaz Central Design Bureau. I speak out.

Now, no matter what, the main thing in warships is the ratio of cost to efficiency.

ALL Shipbuilders try, without losing combat potential, to reduce the displacement of the ship, and not increase it. This is due to the fact that the power of the engines, and accordingly the cost, with an increase in displacement increases exponentially. If you certainly want to maintain the speed of the warship.)))

Those. adding armor will increase not only the cost of the hull, but also
cost:
-engines
-mechanical systems (by the way, reinforcement ДУ200 times in 10 more expensive than ДУ100 fittings)
-fuel (fuel consumption will be greater and, accordingly, one trip will cost more)
screw
-shafts
gearboxes
All this is very expensive equipment.
To protect against anti-ship missiles, so that this makes at least some sense, the reservation should be more than 100mm, since thinner armor simply cannot withstand the explosion of 300kg of the sea mixture, so, according to my estimates, the minimum displacement of any corvette will be 3-4Kt, with 2Kt normal modern without reservation.

Further on the survivability of the battleships in a modern design.
Most likely, anti-ship missiles will really lose in efficiency and will not pierce the side. But with the appearance of such ships, nothing puts into the RCC bios a program for entering this type of ships, for example, from above making a hill before defeat. It will not be comparable in value with the construction of a series of armadillos.

And at the expense of tanks:
In tanks, they do not refuse armor because they are small, relative to the ship))), they are cheap (1-5md), ATGMs as the main means of defeating an infantry tank are expensive (100-200 thousandd), and so they you need to use this tank first in the bushes, being in the zone of direct defeat, then kneel down and shoot with a flash giving out your location, while it’s not a fact that you can knock out the tank after breaking through all its defenses. And then the fun part. Manage not to die under the fire of infantry or tanks nearby, as you become the number one target. ATGMs have always been an auxiliary weapon, and are needed so that the infantry does not end up with a bare ass in front of the tank. Therefore, the main means of defeating the tank is a tank gun, and therefore tanks wear armor. At sea, a different landscape and a different principle of battle and therefore there is no longer armor)))

[Santa Fe]

Quote: Nikita Dmitriev

This is due to the fact that the power of the engines, and accordingly the cost, with an increase in displacement increases exponentially

Why do Burke (9000 tons) and Zamvolta (15000 tons) power plants have the same power

Dear 2 category engineer, I made a mistake:
there is no exponential dependence of power on displacement
there is only a cubic dependence of the power of a power plant on speed:
for example, to increase the speed by 1,5 times, you will have to increase the power by 3,3 times
this has nothing to do with displacement, they generally correlate weakly. It is easy to see this in any example (TKR of the Second World War, 17 thousand full / and, 130 thousand hp, 33 knots. Modern destroyer "31-knot Berk" - 9 thousand tons, 100 thousand liters .from.)

But when such ships appear, that doesn’t put in the RCC bios a program of approaching this type of ships, for example, from above making a hill before the defeat

1. The diving RCC will be riddled with Daggers / Phalanxes, it is an ideal target for them
2. What will it change? horizontal booking is not inferior to vertical

Quote: Nikita Dmitriev

Tank builders have a harder task
reserved volume 3-4 cu. m. - any break through in 99% means a disaster
penetration does not mean anything in ships, you need to "get" enough explosives under the armor to destroy thousand-ton bulkheads and mechanisms

[Nikita Dmitriev]

Why are Burke (9000 tons) and Zamvolta (15000 tons) power plants of the same power?

Honestly, x / z. In hydrodynamics and in general in practice, this should not be so. I can assume that Znwold can actually issue 30 nodes in an emergency mode for a short time and they indicated this for advertising purposes, unlike Burke, which can issue 32 nodes for days on end. Still possible due to the shape of the contours. But I doubt it. Everything has long been invented in this area.

How many dozens of times are DU200 fittings cheaper than radar with AFAR?
AFAR is certainly expensive. 300-500 million d I think. But the fittings are not cheap. 1 pcs. It may cost up to 10K Euro. And on the ship it needs thousands of pieces.

Two orders of magnitude cheaper than ammunition.
Well, here you are exaggerating. A warship, excluding weapons, is not a cheap thing. Do not compare with tankers. They cost a penny by the fact that they are essentially floating boxes. A case with a filling without weapons costs about a third.

1. The diving RCC will be riddled with Daggers / Phalanxes, it is an ideal target for them
2. What will it change? horizontal booking is not inferior to vertical

-1
RCC does not dive from a height, but makes a hill one kilometer from the ship at super sonic speed. Missiles at such distances no longer shoot. Only shoot down art. And she just physically does not have time to visit and get.
-2
You can’t reserve a massive add-in. The vessel will tip over. Do not look at the battleships BB2, there was no vital equipment in the superstructure and it was relatively small.
It’s enough for a modern ship to hit 300kg with a bomb in a superstructure and it will go blind. Only air defense can protect against this.

You will not reserve radars, deck missile defense containers of near radius. The helicopter hangar is also too heavy.

Tank builders have a harder task
reserved volume 3-4 cu. m. - any break through in 99% means a disaster
penetration does not mean anything in ships, you need to "get" enough explosives under the armor to destroy thousand-ton bulkheads and mechanisms

The internal bulkheads mean nothing, they are THIN. No one will install bulkheads with a thickness of 100mm. Their purpose is to prevent the spread of water and fire into neighboring compartments. But only.

Quote: Nikita Dmitriev

Do not look at the battleships BB2, there was no vital equipment in the superstructure

Why does vital equipment need to be placed in an add-in?
If you need extra. volumes - it’s enough to increase the width of the body by a couple of meters, and the length can be reduced (the circle has a maximum area of ​​all figures with an equal perimeter, in a three-dimensional space - the maximum volume of the sphere)

Yes, propulsive qualities will suffer slightly, but what does it matter now, in the era of "Calibers". Art. duels and linear battles, where speed was important, are a thing of the past

Helicopter hangars can be arranged below deck, as in Peter and Virginia.

Quote: Nikita Dmitriev

The internal bulkheads mean nothing, they are THIN.

It depends on the ship
the British "Vanguard" had 3000 tons of anti-fragmentation bulkheads
system of 25-50 mm steel walls inside the superstructure and the hull

We initially consider the option with a possible penetration of the armor. To the aid is all the perfection of modern technologies: armored steel, Kevlar, a puff of steel and ceramics ...

[Nikita Dmitriev]

Housing with decoration and electrical fittings - 13%

You forgot 43% power plant, and 22% construction, the cost of all this will also increase. Especially the construction and power.

[Santa Fe]

Quote: Nikita Dmitriev

YOU FORGOT 43% POWER SYSTEM

Whence
on the diagram the power plant (red) - 9%
and since it remains unchanged, according to the rules of mathematics it can be reduced

Labor costs (22%) - equally distributed across all items

Quote: Nikita Dmitriev

Especially the construction and power.

The power plant remains unchanged
130 thousand tons - at one time it was enough to disperse Baltimore and Demoyna to 33 knots.
now such speeds are not needed, the existing 100 thousand tons (4 x GE LM2500) is enough for the eyes

Quote: Nikita Dmitriev

You will not reserve radars, deck missile defense containers of near radius.

Here we are talking, so as not to burn out and not sink with the entire crew, from one hit of the "Harpoon". What is 100% likely to do any existing ship

And radar protection is very simple. Flat antennas are protected by the layout itself (on opposite sides of the add-in): they cannot be knocked out all in one hit. From small fragments in the near explosion, PRR Shrike / HARM will help with a plastic radio-transparent fairing and AFAR technology (the array continues to work when several transmitters are lost)

Moreover, as you know, a warship remains operational even with the loss of all radars. Radar is not needed to launch the Caliber; a satellite phone is in the pocket of every officer. Communication is secure.

The main arguments of opponents of the reservation:

There is one, in my opinion, an indisputable argument - funds have been invented for a long time already, and equipping a torpedo with these means will not be difficult, so shipbuilders apparently do not bother with strong armor.
A simple example of an RPG rocket weighing 4,5 kg pierces 300 mm of armor, imagine what would happen if the penetration warhead of a torpedo rocket would weigh about 20-30 kg.
Build ships with meter armor? Modifying a rocket to armor-piercing in terms of money will cost designers hundreds (or maybe thousands of times) cheaper.

[Kars]

Quote: Corsair

rockets will weigh approximately 20-30 kg

Well, you get a hole of diameters in 100 mm, the ship is not a tank with its minimum armored volume.
It’s not saying that protection against torpedoes is out of the question here, a contactless explosion under the bottom is much worse than getting on board. But here, a larger armored ship wins because of the banal size and mechanical strength .. So one torpedo papadie will survive, and here is Burke vryatli.

[Corsair]

Quote: Kars

Well, you get a hole of diameters in 100 mm, the ship is not a tank with its minimum armored volume.

For example, I took only 20-30 kg, and if 100-200 kg, and the second charge explodes inside - let's say a thermobaric charge, what will happen to the ship, or something like napalm?
And yes, about a rocket dive under the bottom - a fairly simple and feasible solution.

[Down House]

Quote: Kars

Well, you get a hole of diameters in 100 mm, the ship is not a tank with its minimum armored volume.

It will turn out as if it were hit from a cannon in zoldaten - the body armor is whole and there is no zolaten!
Here the question is not only about armor penetration - the ship itself may not sustain the rocket if it is built according to the modern layout and is stupidly sheathed with armor on top.

[common man]

1. About the impact of cumulative warheads on large armored volumes of ships here has been said a lot before. THEY ARE SMALL EFFECTIVE. The highest damage to a large ship will be caused by a high explosive warhead blown up inside the hull. And for this, it must be high-explosive. moreover, the more the ship is armored, the more it will be armor-piercing and less explosive, i.e. the destructive effects of ammunition with the same mass will decrease.

In general, if the reservation saves the lives of the crew. moreover, it will help to strike back at the adversary; it will justify the increase in value.
PS The reservation left the ships in the 50s, when the young missile weapons were large and heavy in the literal sense. Missiles the size of a fighter, launchers like towers of a battleship, a BIUS with a five-story building. Moreover, these missiles only at the expense of their mass could pierce the side or smash the superstructure. Now the size of the missiles has become an order of magnitude smaller. and their number is greater. Therefore, the use of armor as a passive defense of a ship is entitled to discussion.

And if you fight with "pirates" in the coastal-river zone - then ships of this displacement are banally redundant - there will be enough banal "armored boats" and they are, for example, built in the USSR, but this is a highly specialized technique that has no place in the military doctrine of many countries.

Or I suggested it is simpler - contact the design bureau, where modern warships are designed and built, and let them explain to you why today's shipbuilders are stupid compared to those who built heavy cruisers of the WWII period! Weak? WEAK !!!! Because there they will briefly explain why you are wrong, and here you are almost the best !!!! And I just feel sorry for my time to argue over the questions established for me personally with childish stubbornness! And if you think that this is an excuse, then for my 40 years I have been studying the history of the fleet for more than 20 years, I have shoveled a bunch of literature and for me it does not seem authoritative or evidential to pour from empty to empty.

The main arguments of opponents of the reservation:
1. "Anti-ship missiles of the" Granite "type, all the armor does not care." And there are many carriers with this type of anti-ship missile in the world? ;
2. "Let's make diving warheads";
3. "We will make" smart "warheads that will hit the unprotected parts of the ship";
All this is good, but all this still needs to be done, and placed somewhere, that is, to build the fleet again
4. "Let's spread all the radars". The main crew is intact and the ship is under way.
Oleg’s articles, judging by the number of comments, cause a lively discussion, and in the dispute, as you know, truth is born.
PS Why on tanks, in spite of all AZ, DZ, and other ZZ do not refuse armor?

I'll start from behind - because the tank will not drown in the ground. And for the ship there is a certain pattern in which it is able to maintain buoyancy. A plane is the ability to fly. So for a tank such a law is not relevant to the smallest degree. On the earth, other ratios in everything than on the sea If you understood this, would you ask such a stupid question And to be honest, all this fuss around the armor begins to strain ... I already gave exhaustive comments on this topic in previous articles about O. Kaptsov’s armor and I just don’t want to repeat myself.
For you, I'll just say briefly: when you think about the opposition of armor and a projectile and follow this trend from the appearance of the "Warrior" to the end of WWII, then you will understand why, with the qualitative change in weapons from the second half of the twentieth century, the approach to booking has changed. ... The armor has passed from one of the fundamental factors for ensuring unsinkability into ordinary ballast, which no longer actively participates in the protection of the ship due to its weight and dimensions. It is present today, but only in that quantity and in the same weight as is necessary for the best, within the allotted displacement, protection of the parts of the ship that are important today. A "Harpoon" is easier to shoot down with air defense systems than to hang 2000 tons. steel, in the hope that (if the air defense systems run out of ammunition), the missile will hit this thin belt along the waterline and prove the correctness of the armor in the form that Kaptsov achieves - at the level of WWII cruisers (100-152mm). Kindergarten...

[Andrei from Chelyabinsk]

Quote: man in the street

And you yourself little to explain? At least try to argue your point of view

Yes, they have already brought 100500 times, how much is it possible?
We take an ordinary post-WWII light cruiser. In order not to go far - project 68, cruisers of the "Chapaev" type, were laid down before the war.
In principle - such a lively illustration to the theories of Oleg Kaptsov - 10 thousand tons of standard VI, 34 speed knots, 2339 tons of armor protection. And what's the point in modern combat?
Long 100 mm armored belt, already 3,3 m high, of which 1,3 meters are under water. An excellent indicator for an artillery cruiser, but the bad thing is that anti-ship missiles (well, except for Exocet, maybe) do not fly at that height, so the hits will be much higher. You can try to raise the armored belt higher, but it weighs more than 600 tons, and here problems with stability will already begin. Over the armored belt already laid 50-mm armored deck. Purely theoretically, it can and will protect against close rupture of the RCC warhead containing from 150 kg of modern explosives and higher, but in practice it will most likely simply be driven into engine rooms. And if not - it’s easy to equip warheads with missiles of not too large sizes but high strength — dispersed to hypersonic speeds by an explosion, they will pierce 50 mm armor as nice, but there’s no need for a lot of chassis. And what to do? Increase armor thickness? To grow it up to 100 mm will cost 817 tons (that is how much the deck of Chapaev weighs) an extra TOP weight. And what kind of case will you have to design in order to give it satisfactory stability?
But even if the armor remains unbroken - so what? Everything above the citadel will be destroyed (you just always need to remember that very small volumes are reserved above the citadel for armored ships, and the main superstructures and so on did not have armor), and after all, the main battle posts are there. As a result, after entering the 7-8 anti-ship missile system, there will remain a charred stub, which has completely lost its combat effectiveness and is kept on the water exclusively due to the citadel. During the Second World War, such a fragment could expect to hide from the enemy (at night, for example) and go to base, but in a modern battle with modern detection tools and the enormous range of carrier-based aircraft and naval anti-ship missiles, its chances of avoiding the destruction of minuscule.

Quote: man in the street

PS Why on tanks, in spite of all AZ, DZ, and other ZZ do not refuse armor?

(a heavy sigh) Because on the tank its "armor" volume is "crammed" to the hatches with engines, ammunition, cannons, machine guns, crew and so on. The ship has a much less dense layout.

[Kalmar]

4. "Let's spread all the radars". The main crew is intact and the ship is under way.

Immediately in my head a simple dumb plan of attack drew:
1. "useless" "Harpoons" / "Uranians" / "Exocets" or whatever else we are spreading antenna posts and add-ons (the firmware of their GOS to correct accordingly is a simple matter);
2. when the ship loses radar and, as a result, medium / long-range air defense, a wave enters the game: the same anti-ship missiles as in item 1, plus a couple of special gifts carrying nuclear warheads.

It seems to me that the dimensions of the warhead of the same "Harpoon" will fit a charge of 1-5 kt, which is enough for the eyes to destroy any armored monster with a direct hit; even the most Krupp armor will not save here.

As a result, the real sense of armor will only be in the war with the Papuans, who managed to get somewhere light RCC; as an example, take the same mess in the Falklands. In a large-scale conflict with a really strong enemy with the use of nuclear weapons (and how to stay here?), Armor will help little.

[Setrac]

1 There is a nuclear weapon all the armor do not care.
2 There are torpedoes.

[max702]

The question of armor is a question of tactics, and a question of strategy is why the FLEET is needed at all? When and under what conditions will it be applied? In the United States, this is an element of attack, and due to the prevailing circumstances, they attack only opponents who are unable to give them a full-fledged rebuff, otherwise other methods and methods are used .. accordingly, they do not really need armor, there will be a leap in technology when from Toyota "or from the shoulder of the shooter it will be possible to launch a rocket that will drown the destroyer, then yes the armor will return to its place in a swoop, but for now there is no threat to the US fleet and there is no need for armor. TO FIGHT THE FLEET EVERYTHING came the Arctic fox to the planet Earth! Or does someone consider an attack on our fleet not a reason for a third world war? So we will watch how our Pacific Fleet, Black Sea Fleet and Northern Fleet are destroyed at the same time, and we are not doing anything about it? Come on! As soon as it becomes known about this, the mobile launchers will leave the units, and perhaps they will launch directly and from the location, the mine will not be too late, the aviation will be a little late, but it should also be in time for the holiday .. and tell me why in this case our ships armor a la battleships of the Second World War? Will she somehow change the alignment or affect the situation? No! The last time the world was on the brink (perhaps) there was an incident with the "Kursk" the entire SF bombed the water area for several hours for something, and then there was a phone call and a conversation, after which debts were written off and loans were issued .. So if in real life will turn around and the fleet will begin to be massively destroyed here, the calls will not help, but the buttons will be pressed for fear of not having time to do this later .. the withdrawal of the USA is not needed because there are no threats (yet), but we do not need it because it will not save ..

It’s a lot easier to come up with a new armor-piercing warhead on anti-ship missiles than to make armor on a ship, and there will not be many problems with the warhead: a small ATG weighing 10-20 kg pierces 1-1,5 m of armor, so creating armor on a ship is a utopia .

I believe the issue of booking ships will arise only after real naval battles and most likely not with the Americans ...

[Per se.]

Don't understand what was the "sedition" of the deleted comment? The Americans are booking ships, the Arleigh Burke destroyers are an example of this, and they drew their conclusions after the Falklands. The hulls of the ships of the series for the first time in many years in American shipbuilding practice began to be made almost entirely of high-strength steel, using only individual units and sections of aluminum, in particular, pipes of gas turbine installations and a main mast. The metacentric height of the 2 series ships has been increased by reducing the weight of the superstructure. On three quarters of the length of the hull of the 2 series destroyers, the thickness of the metal sheathing was increased, fuel efficiency was improved due to changes in the design of the bow of the vessel. The propeller design has also been improved to reduce cavitation noise. In addition, the living quarters of the destroyers of the series were expanded to accommodate the personnel of the air group, as well as female military personnel. In order to increase combat survivability, five armored bulkheads were additionally installed in the ship's hull. Vital combat posts are located below the main deck; REV antenna posts were distributed throughout the ship in order to reduce the likelihood of damage. The anti-submarine sensor control and Tomahawk missile firing control posts are located separately from the BIC. The premises of the power plant, REV and control posts have Kevlar ballistic protection. In total, more than 130 tons of Kevlar (including 70 tons of this durable, but expensive material, is used to protect combat posts) are used to protect the main combat posts and units of each Arly Burke type destroyer during construction.
The protection of mechanisms and equipment below the structural waterline is also served by local splinterproof reservations of high-strength aluminum-magnesium alloys up to 25,4 mm thick. Plates of these alloys protect the main waveguides, cables, and the most important combat posts (upper tiers of add-ons, BIP rooms, ammunition cellars).

[ism_ek]

And what can you protect with Kevlar? It is used more for weight loss rather than protection. Abromovich's yacht is partially made of kevlar. And 130 tons of Kevlar are too expensive for our country.
An analogy can be drawn with other branches of the army, which are more often involved in military conflicts. The Americans arrived in Iraq on the Hamera, and are leaving in monstrous units. Terrorists ride excellently on unarmored hilux.
In aviation, booking a Su-25 attack aircraft proved to be justified. But booking a Su-34 bomber is a weedy decision.

[Per se.]

It's about reasonable protection, not about making battleships or attack aircraft out of everything. Nevertheless, almost all combat aircraft have an armored backrest for the pilot's seats and frontal armored glass, often, fuel tanks and ammunition are armored. As for Kevlar on "Arlie Burke", it is not the only element that increases survivability, it is a pity that you only paid attention to Kevlar, which, however, performs anti-fragmentation protection precisely as armor. The fact that terrorists ride in jeeps does not negate armored vehicles, and it is necessary to distinguish the guerrilla methods of militants, countering them, from a war with a full-fledged army and navy. The fact that the Americans arrived in jeeps in Iraq, and left in "monster-like units" ... In Iraq, everything was decided by air supremacy, that the United States seized in front of Hussein's army, finally, besides jeeps, the Yankees also had Bradleys with Abrams ... It is much sadder that in our country, where it is not necessary, such havno as "Bradley" was made almost a role model, having already spawned "mastodons" in their new developments of infantry fighting vehicles and armored personnel carriers, which are more needed as police cars, special forces vehicles , in counter-guerrilla war, anti-terrorist operations, and not a big war in the defense of the vastness of Russia. Everything is good in moderation and to the place.

but seriously, there’s something in it. tanks, helmets, armor plates were also written off, but it turned out somehow. Who knows what the heads of the designers are clogged with, maybe they’ll come up with what kind of bronze-death)))

[Per se.]

It is, of course, fun to dwell here, but when the abyss is around the sea, and your whole life is in the ship, no matter how gouged it is from damage, if the armor saves, it makes sense. Even more so, if this armor and the ship already doomed, will give survivability for a couple of extra minutes, it can save more lives of sailors. It is a pity that we need to fight like a fish on ice, trying to prove that increasing survivability is a solvable problem, and it is worth it to deal with. Now there are a lot of new materials and technologies, and there is no need to laugh about armadillos of the past, they are not already discussed in comparisons, but about improving the protection of modern ships using modern means.

About 3 Lyama (rubles) per wheel per ton of reservation will cost (steel, plastics, Kevlar and Co.). 2000t of armor = 6,000,0000,000! rubles. Is it a lot? Round up to 100 bucks bucks (because a very large hemorrhoid with welding). At a good price is not acidic. These are 50 caliber rockets ...

There is something to add about the cost of the reservation. Undoubtedly, the cost of iron is a penny, and there is no point in arguing. But nevertheless, booking is still not free and the cost of the ship will increase when using advanced booking. Why? Because a ship with advanced armor will have a larger size and mass than Burke. On a Burke-sized ship, booking thicker than 50 mm is not possible. If we want to book a ship seriously (ie at least 100 mm belt), it will already be a ship of the size and mass of our 1164. This, in turn, will lead to an increase in the construction time for each unit. And every extra month of the ship's stay at the shipyard, you need to pay salaries to workers and engineers who assemble the ship, pay for electricity and so on. As a result, the unit cost will increase, the number of ships in the series will decrease. What will we get in return? Armor that penetrates any anti-ship missile system adequate to the size of the ship. Although in the United States, even during the construction of the Brooklyns, they came to the conclusion that the massiveness of the construction is more important than the individual combat superiority of each individual unit. And After the Brooklyns came to the Clevelands that I admire. In general, iron certainly does not cost much, but the cost of additional iron is not zero.

What is the mass of armor? According to the roughest estimates (15% of the standard displacement, as on the heaviest TKR of the Second World War period) ~ 2 thousand tons for the ship, similar in capabilities and composition of armament to the destroyer “Arly Burk”.

How to ensure the buoyancy of this "iron"? Obviously additional body volumes. There are no international restrictions on tonnage in our time. And the cost of the metalwork itself is vanishingly small against the background of other items of expenditure

Those. modern rockets in the 1960 years did not exist

Instead of them there were "Kometa", KSShch and P-15 "Termit", which in their dimensions corresponded to the fighter. Thanks to the imperfect technologies of that era, their starting mass reached 3 tons. Warhead (on average) - 500 kg.

These monsters have sometimes been tested against armored target ships. At the same time, even hitting the TKR pr. 68-bis (not the most perfect ship, the belt is only 100 mm) did not give clear answers to the question: "Was the armor broken?"

Nowadays, anti-ship missiles have decreased by 10 times, simultaneously with the possibility of their use by tactical fighters (what is the density in a salvo! At least a few pieces). a return to the 3-ton KSSh is not possible - individual monsters are torn apart by air defense

All these questions are secret and we can only guess. But that quote that you cite in a sense confirms my assumptions. The same egg-shaped warhead really does not participate in the penetration of the side and armor. For her, this is most likely done by the shaped charge located in front of her. In the performance characteristics of "Granita" it is openly said about the existence of a cumulative high-explosive warhead. At the same time, no one claims that a shaped charge and a high-explosive charge are one single charge. Most likely there are two of them. Just in the internet, pictures of only one high-explosive component are walking.
Plus, all these calculations correlate with the presence of a real target - the Iowa aircraft with a reservation of just over 300 mm. Those. 400 mm is a small margin for guaranteed Iowa outreach.

This is how I didn’t hear anything about armor-piercing warheads. Of course, there will be a displacement growth, but when we study the evolution of cruisers, for example, it can be seen that it was mainly due to increased weapons.

how far from the ship is the water entry?
How will "just dive" be carried out at a speed of 700-2000 km / h - either self-destruction, or "one of two things".
Too different environments, air and water.
Will it be only warhead work? which just has to get to the case like a simple blank?
Or is it a full-fledged projectile controlled at the final stage?

The rocket should say the air defense: "wait, I'll dive right now", then reduce the speed to 200 km / hour, make a slide, enter the water, switch the seeker, shake off the sweat from the forehead, and gurgle "drove on". :)

From menia, the words of blogging are welcome to the Author!

A ship is worse than a fire on board than holes in an armor and the absence of a nose with anchors.
And in general, shouldn't we return to the "water-armored vessel" project or protect ourselves with our own coal reserves?

I agree with the author that my Soviet era, one list of equipment and a mailbox, numerous "gunsmiths and instrumentists from all over the USSR" showed that the main money in military shipbuilding goes to "stuffing"

[Dimon19661]

It's so ridiculous to read many comments ... A design engineer who works with warships tried to explain the need for armor in modern conditions, the sofa experts shut up at a stroke. Of course, a warship practically does not differ in hull from a ship, it is also iron. But this is how it is embodied on practice, you at least read it. There, by the way, is a completely different set, which is designed for completely different loads. If respected sofa experts had ever attended practical shooting, they would probably have been very surprised to learn what damage the ship's own weapon inflicts when using it. For other experts it would be a revelation to find out that the anti-ship missile before the defeat of the ship makes a slide, and not stupidly hits the side. I know, I have often been to such events, so I understand what it’s about. , but the hull costs a lot of money - much more than ANY civilian ship of comparable displacement.

[Rurikovich]

Quote: Dimon19661

Well, in terms of cost, really the lion's share of the funds goes to the "stuffing", but the hull also costs a lot of money, much more than ANY civilian ship of comparable displacement.

Vaughn Comrade Kaptsov explain it

[Down House]

Two questions to the author.
1. Why did you not mention in the examples the initial cost of "those" armored monsters - according to the same purchasing power index, now you would have calculated the approximate cost of an armored / unarmored hull.
2. Of course, I’m a new person here, but as I understand it, you definitely don’t want to notice that the conditions of use and tasks of the modern fleet have changed - now this is essentially a sea-based PRO-PVO-RVSN and this explains their modern look - this is no more than floating bases.
Accordingly, the question - where are the articles about the strategy and tactics of using armored monsters in modern conditions - what will they do?

[tasha]

Approximately. If we take as a basis the cost of an ounce of gold, then it took about 100 million dollars at the price per ounce of 35 $ to build Iowa LC. Now gold is worth 1100-1200 $ per ounce, an increase of 30 times. Those. the estimated cost of such a LC is now 3-3,5 billion.
If we take the price of oil as a basis, then the Inflation Data site in current dollars displays the price of 1946 in 1,63year, and in 2014 - 85,66 i.e. growth in 50 times.

Destroyer class "Fletcher" in 1942 cost 10-11 million. Cruiser "Cleveland" - the official price of 31 million. AB "Enterprise" about 20 mln.

In the book by A.P. Shershov "To the history of military shipbuilding" 1952. provided data on the specific gravity of the ship's elements. For example, for LC
Enclosure with systems and team - 30-32%
Booking - 38-41%
Armament - 14-18%
Gears - 7-10%
Supply 2-3%
Fuel 6-9%

The same numbers for cruisers

Enclosure with systems and team - 32-35%
Booking - 7-15%
Armament - 8-14%
Gears - 20-27%
Supply 2-3%
Fuel 13-16%

Destroyers
Case - 35-38%
Booking - 0
Armament 8-12%
9-15% mechanisms
Fuel 4-6%


The table shows that the largest percentage falls on the weight of the hull, in addition, on reservations (for battleships) and on mechanisms (for cruisers, destroyers and submarines). To lighten these parts of the ship without introducing damage to its quality, new light metals, plastics, electric-welded structures, etc. are introduced. In order to avoid overload that adversely affects the propulsion and unsinkability of the ship, an increase against the draft of one of the load items should be compensated by the same decrease in the other any article.

The weight of the Aegis Baseline 7 system components is about 700 tons. Price - 1,5bn + - depending on the configuration.

[tasha]

Correction: the destroyers share of mechanisms: 35-40%, fuel: 16-19% weapons 6-8%

[Rurikovich]

So normal people understand this that within a given displacement, size and cost, there is a certain balance in which the improvement of some characteristics leads to the deterioration of others. This is an axiom! But for some upstart authors, this is still not the case. Foaming at the mouth, they prove that if you bang 2000 tons of armor on the Orly Burke, it will be a super ship! And "Zamvolt" is even cooler if you bang even more armor there!

[Kvazar]

That's right, they just replace Kevlar, plastic and other steel and aluminum. Because to protect against modern threats, it is necessary to increase the displacement, and everything else went there. As a result, the battleship of Iowa is so blundered for the price ..... the battleship will come out to you like an aircraft carrier under 20 lard bachels with weapons .... it also needs a meadow that is not free, plus space grouping plus an aircraft carrier cover plus a nuclear submarine to him or even two three .... You are lucky if you leave at 80-90 lard for one group (2linkor one aircraft carrier cover group) and this is only for the ship component, development and maintenance for 50 years will cost 50 times 100 more expensive .... But these groups need at least 5 .... the navel will burst .... because replace once every 15 years 4000 missiles on the meadow plus replace once 100 aircraft + missiles to them, well, you understand how many babos ....

[realist]

a decision on the arming of a warship should be worked out by specialists on the basis of operational experience, combat employment, and advanced developments of electronic warfare weapons and equipment. in general, we can emotionally take part in the discussion, but I am a military builder and do not know everything about naval experience. therefore, it is difficult for me to judge who is right and who is not, but the truth seems to me in the middle! Yes, some of the rooms need to be booked, yes, it is necessary to rationally compose the internal volume, maybe it is worth building a building (longitudinal and transverse set) with excess thickness? in general, the topic is interesting. and on the armored boat Oleg must be thrown off :)

[IAlex]

150 mm of armor against 400 kg of trinitratoluene in torpedoes and rockets is the same as paper against a knife. There is no point in booking, except from small shells of 30 mm. and less fragments ...

[dumkopff]

I am sorry that a lot. Tired of cutting. I must say right away: all arguments are absolutely amateurish.

The opinion that it is worth returning the armor to ships is found in publications of 20 years ago. Moreover, in extreme terms, it is supposed to return not just armor, but armor providing absolute protection against modern weapons (with the exception of nuclear weapons).
The heaviest production tank of World War II, the Royal Tiger had a reservation of 150 mm — the forehead of the hull and 185 mm — the forehead of the tower. Its mass was 68 tons. Modern MBTs, having a comparable mass (except for MBTs designed as part of the Soviet school), have a frontal armor equivalent to 850-900 mm of homogeneous steel. Reservation of the heaviest of the battleships, the Japanese Yamato, was 410 mm - armor belt, traverse -300 mm, 200-220 main deck, 25-50 mm upper deck, GK barbets - up to 560 mm (Towers are deliberately excluded from consideration, since on modern ships, such a design is not used).
By performing the simplest extrapolation, we get the following: with a displacement of 72000 tons, a modern ship in any important place can have armor equivalent to from 1200 to 3300 mm of homogeneous steel. It is supposedly impossible to penetrate such armor with any of the ammunition available in the armament (except for nuclear weapons).
Modern anti-ship missiles are characterized by the mass of the warhead from 165 to 520 kg. The mass of the shell of the GK guns for the battleships of World War II ranged from 850 to 1460 kg. In this case, directly to the explosive accounted for “only” tens of kilograms. For example, an armor-piercing projectile for the Yamato guns contained 33 kg of TNA. The rest of the weight, roughly speaking, was to ensure penetration of the armor. Rocket flight speed is up to 2,5M (which approximately corresponds to the flight speed of ship’s shells from the period of the Second World War).
Thus: if a modern anti-ship missile is sharpened under armor penetration, then there will be no mass reserves for explosives. The after-effects of such ammunition will be minimal. In the case of a tank, penetration is often equivalent to incapacitation, since the entire crew is in the same volume, and often with them the ammunition is in the same volume. In the case of a ship, breaking through in one place, without a subsequent explosion, has practically no consequences. If you leave everything as it is, then the missiles will be pointless to fight against the armor. The use of cumulative and sub-caliber ammunition to ensure penetration beyond the armor is expected to be complicated. Firstly, it’s easy to use a diversity booking system and anti-cumulative screens (against cumulative ammunition) on a ship. Secondly, both options will require a significant lengthening of the warhead (in the case of cumulative ammunition - in order to apply the tandem scheme).
Such a line of reasoning should delight amateurs (led me), but ...

[dumkopff]

The following objections arise:
1. Extrapolation is a very dangerous method. If by a similar method to predict the growth of a child on the basis of data for a period from 5 to 10 years, then we get the growth of a 50 year old person under 4-5 meters. And therefore, it is safe to say that where there used to be 400 mm of armor, now there will be the equivalent of 2 meters of homogeneous steel only specialists can (and may not say so).
2. Modern concrete bombs are able to open 15 meters of soil and fall into fortified bunkers. It can be assumed that it is quite realistic to create the RCC warhead weighing up to 500 kg, providing both armor penetration and a powerful explosion after penetration.
3. Suppose the use of armor will slightly increase the cost of the ship by 15-20%. What will happen to operating costs? Will they grow up? If they grow similarly, then the number of fleets will decrease by 15-20% within the same budgetary constraints.
There is a funny situation. The experience of recent decades shows that wars are waged against obviously weaker opponents. If a developed country with a fleet mates with someone capable of resisting, then the matter will quickly be reduced to the use of nuclear weapons. And all the armor will become useless (even if the ship does not sink, then the EMR will burn the filling). If you fight against those who are not able to resist, then armor is not needed. All the same, the enemy does not have the ability to overcome the many lines of defense of the ship. Therefore, it is more profitable to have 60 flimsy ships, instead of 50 armored ones. This allows you to cover a large territory with control, create a more dense network of PLO / air defense / missile defense, and respond more quickly to mini-threats that arise in a particular place.
The above can be summarized as follows: but hell knows how best.
PS Still, you have to stick the PTZ in!

Quote: dumkopff

The experience of recent decades shows that wars are waged against obviously weaker opponents. If a developed country with a fleet mates with someone capable of resisting, then the matter will quickly be reduced to the use of nuclear weapons.

1.China-Vietnam War (1979). China already had nuclear weapons at that time. Vietnam is not known to be weak.
2. Israel is a nuclear power. Fights for a long time and hard. Are Arabs obviously weak?
3. Pakistan is a nuclear power. Teasing with India for a long time and seriously.
4. North Korea. Generally scumbag, which all in one place.
Why didn't they use nuclear weapons in their conflicts? I would not throw the threat of nuclear weapons use so easily. The local use of nuclear weapons puts the country that used it in the position of an outcast. She will be pecked "not by washing, so by rolling". The global use of nuclear weapons puts on the brink of destruction not only your enemy, but the entire WORLD, including its own people. In order to decide on this, "well, very weighty arguments" are needed.
It is necessary to prepare for a war of conventional weapons and not rely on "Kuzka's mother."

[Assistant]

1. Such Chinese considered Vietnam to be deliberately weak. Enchantingly miscalculated, instead of a small victorious war, they firmly sat down in the zone of the first offensive. When, a couple of months later, the USSR concentrated its forces for a dash into Inner Mongolia, comparable to the operation against the Kwantung Army 35 years ago, China said "I didn't really want to" and quickly dumped.
2. Compared to the historical homeland and the SGA standing behind it - yes. Of course, there are strong states in the Middle East, such as Saudi Arabia, but they are also under transatlantic control.
3. However, since 1971 officially the state of war between them has not been declared even once.
4. "Will you start it up? This is THIS? Does it even fly? In my opinion, it doesn't even crawl." (from)

[Kvazar]

1. Modern armor steel surpasses the old steel of the Second World War by almost 3! times. True, they are "a bit" more expensive. Here we must look that the means of destruction also did not stand still and the threats are quite significant.
2. It will not work. The mass of explosives will be instead of 300 kg, about 20 kg, the effect of the gap will be completely different. Here either go or checkers. But all this relates to ships with a displacement of 20.000 tons. And they are suddenly booked. All the rest have ballistic reservations (on arly about 450 tons of which 130 is Kevlar)
3. It will increase by about 3 lyam per ton of reservation (2000t = 6 lard rubles). All this can be multiplied by 3 in the easy (just so all this stuff can’t be welded). Yes, the cost of operation will be much higher. Because displacement will have to be increased with the same weapons.
4. SBN need to get almost into the ship to drown it. There is more of a problem in another, after 2 days the crew will die out from exposure (all).
5. Missile strike without UBC is how? Weak adversary? If a boat sank from a single missile hit, this is a disaster in the literal sense of the word given the cost and production cycle.
6. In peacetime, it’s more profitable for a fleet that will never fight. For those who have such chances, it is better to have armored ships, which is what everyone does.

In general, the problem here is rather strange. It comes from problems when the air defense of the ship was not responsible for its survival.
What we have at the moment. RCC mass type with 90-300kg of explosives in the warhead of the semi-penetrating type. To counter this charm, you need quite thick armor. At the same time, spread it, put ds from precharges (which means the thickness of the first layer should be 100-150 mm at least) special filler (reflective sheets for example), back sheet, and other perversions. To make it all work, the thickness should not be 50mm. Plus, the redesign of the decks of the cellars of the launch cells, well, I went around in a circle + PTZ. As a result, for all this to work as it should, it increases sharply for you:
1. Displacement x2 immediately at least
2. Price of construction
3. Construction time
4. The cost of operation
5. A new basing infrastructure is needed for such monsters.

But in reality it is useless to reserve a ship with a displacement of less than 20.000 tons at this stage, it will not save. Therefore, booked areas and anti-shatter.
And they don’t build something bigger because no money.

[alovrov]

Accordingly, the question - where are the articles about the strategy and tactics of using armored monsters in modern conditions - what will they do?

This question has already been asked. The answer was that armored monsters would be able to enter zones where any other ship would die immediately. The question - why go into such zones remained unanswered.

[mvg]

I will make my 5 cents. The persistence of the author of the articles is simply amazing. He understands the subject matter (well, it's like defending your dissertation in front of students, I don’t see anything complicated).
Don't understand a few things? If there are already naval battles, then the armor will not save, neither from the first strike, nor from the retaliatory one. (someone correctly spoke about "winter and zombies").
If you defend yourself against attacks by "terrorists", as in the case of the Persian Gulf, with a boat with 200-300 kg of dynamite and a Burke or a variant of the Lebanese (Chinese anti-ship missile) against Jews, then it is cheaper just not to sleep. The ship's air defense must cope with single anti-ship missiles. A salvo of Granites, Basalts, Onyxes, Gauges, Harpoons, Gabriels, Exocets, etc. (as well as Pershing , Mace, Topol, Yars, Trident, Minuteman, DF, etc.) means the 3rd World War, without winners. No one will fight with anyone, seriously. It is simply a demonstration of strength, the development of R&D and industry.
If the armor is so needed, why do not the richest Japan and South Korea make it on their super-destroyers? The Japanese ALWAYS loved all the same. And the life of a samurai was valued very dearly. At the same time, there are technologies and shipyards both there and there. We do not consider poor Europeans, although Horizons, LaFaeta are no worse in technology than Deringa and Burke.

PS: The author did not say, in my opinion, the main thing is WHY? The point of using superfafle in combat? She will do the "weather"? Or force the adversaries' design bureau to work on an armor-piercing anti-ship missile warhead urgently? The deeper into the ground, the thicker the concrete-piercing bomb. Harpoon will have a warhead with a tactical battleground, that's all. In a 220 kg warhead, 20-30 kt will easily "fit".

[Kvazar]

Yes book. It’s just that the destroyers have grown to the size of a light cruiser .... the light cruisers are already close to the cruisers (Peter the Great), and the rocket launcher will be 140-160 thousand tons too expensive a toy. From this and the level of booking they have different. It is not possible to book a ship of such a water displacement from the surface that would not break through. displacement is not enough. Therefore, they book against fragments and close gaps. All that the largest carries armor as sorry and zvizdets how expensive. But here there is such a haemorrhage as babosy and technology (starting from shipyards and steel armor, the difference in stability armor can reach 2 TIMES at one thickness) ending with the filling, without air defense it is hollowing at 400 km this is not a ship, but an expensive iron in a bucket. So even if you look at the destroyer its price is ALREADY TWO lard bachey per boat. A cruiser from zero will come out with a dozen lards, a battleship aircraft carrier 20 lards per unit, another 10 to the home port ..... That is, countries either do not have technology, or .... there is no money for such toys. The fleet has always been a VERY expensive toy, now only a few can afford it, and therefore they do not build a cruiser for the mosquito fleet. There was almost a hundred years ago the idea of ​​ultimate battleships .... so now they have reached it. Imagine that the Russian Federation built ten missile battleships, having swum 200 lard bachs there to base another 100, to cover a hundred more .... and another 300 to cover ships ... So you can swell .... now keep weight loss desks .. .. it’s 12 regions that can be rebuilt from scratch ... or 12 Olympiads can be held, and taking into account the content of this fleet, they’ll tear down the Olympiads for 25 years ..... not compatible .... Therefore, they build a mosquito fleet with a long arm and book as can him, Kevlar plastic steel .....

[Dimon19661]

Peter the Great is a TAKR (heavy atomic cruiser) And again, for those who are in a tank, modern destruction systems almost completely devalue the ship’s armor protection.

[Kvazar]

Yeah, the cruiser with a displacement of almost 26.000 +))) In general, in NATO countries they consider him a battlecruiser here, but I admit I was mistaken.

What modern tools are these? Air defense? Oh well. Nothing that air defense just now brought to the state of the possibility of working on AWACS aircraft? And they have not yet implemented it.

For those who are in the tank. Book as they can. Modern systems of defeat are too strong. Therefore, aluminum-magnesium alloys go to Kevlar. Strengthen the steel alloys of the body itself. For another, there is no displacement. Peter was supposed to carry a belt onboard armor; there wasn’t enough displacement; he had to locally book.

Nimets carries 150mm of armor. Kuzya is also armored +)

[Rurikovich]

Quote: mvg

The author did not say, in my opinion, the main thing, WHY?

THEN to increase combat stability. Example? Cruiser WWII Americans !!! Only in this way, according to the author, and nothing else I have already noticed that many adequate solutions to the problem (or explanation) are simply ignored. You just need to participate in a blunt transfusion from empty to empty. At the same time, do not forget more alphanumeric phrases and photos with the torn off noses of ships for proof!
And the answer will be one - the ship SHOULD use the entire ammunition, and the armor should give it a couple more minutes for the crew to be saved. In this case, anti-ship missiles (bombs, shells) must necessarily fall into the armor, otherwise it will become useless weight.
But it’s easier to say - some just hung on nostalgia for the good old battles ... And they project this onto modern ships. only the means of destruction became much more perverted compared to shells and you need to deal with them no longer through reservations, but to prevent such carriers from getting into the ship

[voyaka uh]

Surface warships are developing in the following
directions:
1) notice the enemy before.
funds: AWACS aircraft, helicopters, radars.
2) shoot from a maximum distance.
means: attack aircraft, cruise missiles.
3) try to remain inconspicuous by yourself.
Means: stealth form and coatings.
4) reduction in size with increasing
long-range weapons (CR) and air defense
(missile frigates, small missile ships).

The best way to ensure survivability: air defense, missile defense
and their submarines escort.

[mvg]

3) try to remain inconspicuous by yourself.
Means: stealth form and coatings.

There is another option to make an "impenetrable" sphere, as in the case of AUG.
In this case, just all the other paragraphs will be executed. AWACS, KR, strike aircraft, powerful radars (you cannot put on a 2000-ton Idigu frigate), air defense, submarines, etc., except for size and money.

At the same time, AUG is just as well defended as it is attacking. Even 20-30 frigates will not go on the attack on the AUG, and she has practically no chance to defend herself. With the most advanced air defense (and the zonal air defense, which turns the frigate into a destroyer, cannot be placed on this warrant).
There is one question left !!! Only one. Where to get the loot!

The article is correct, the topic is considered by the author and opponents at a fairly acceptable level of modeling. options clashes of a future war. Here the number of variables tends to infinity. How "it will be ..." - a HZ...! But the topic is very interesting.
1. I want to make my 5 cents ... The reason IMHO, is that CUSTOMER (acting admirals) ALWAYS prepare for the past war or to virtualmeeting the conditions of prosperity personal status and track record. Moreover, often even unconsciously.
Like, what's the problem? To listen to the reasoning of some engineer (with the shoulder straps of senior lieutenant of the reserve) - they say, you will first serve with mine, e-mine ..! And then argue! In short normal discussion sketch we had no design, no - and it looks like it will not.
Gold customer outweighs all reasonable arguments.
2. Especially important, when considering the reservation task crew survival. And here even the humanistic drooling is not important, about the pricelessness of human life, but pragmatic argument - saving 1000 people specially trained, already trained warriors. They just need to grow from scratch about 25 - 30 years, plus 2 - 5 years of special training. Once, the shortage of pilots of the air groups brought Japan to its knees, in the presence of aircraft carriers. Moreover, here again we need a reserve for the replacement of l \ composition.
3. Author - Respect and Respect! Without your articles, Oleg, our site would have turned pale by about 25% of the "word-displacement", me kaeetsa ...! Well done. Keep it up!

[Setrac]

Based on the pace of development of active defense equipment and electronic warfare equipment, it will soon be possible to get into a protected target only with a simple blank with a contact fuse, perhaps we will see battleships.

[albanian]

But do modern PCRs not have the ability to replace the standard b.ch. on special ?
It is much more profitable economically and in most other ways than designing new missiles, etc. things when "armored ships" appear.
The benefit of nuclear charges of tactical capacities is not small, including for the needs of the fleet.
And it’s just strange to hear about the inability of the PCR to disable the ship. After all, any damage (even not significant) to guidance systems, launch and control systems lead to a strong decrease in the combat effectiveness of the ship, to the flesh to zero. What is the use of a trough that cannot fulfill its combat missions? To save the crew, boats and other means are usually used, and ships whose damage is relatively large, it is cheaper to write off the scrap than restore.

TKR "Haguro" (1925), 36 knots (~ 70 km / h), modern destroyers never dreamed of this

According to your old articles, I got the impression that modern destroyers are much less noisy (for some reason now it has become very important). Eat less fuel at full speed. Less dependent on weather conditions - As a result, even cruisers began to build with contours for destroyers. Less likely to break (GEM is serviced only at the bases). They have a much smaller team (according to Wikipedia, most of the cost of operating a destroyer is the salary of the team).
Now, we decided to close the destroyer with armor. As far as I understand, it is most advantageous to book a sphere. It is not beneficial to book a narrow spindle. By graduation, the following conditionally obtained in the direction of reducing the profitability of the reservation are obtained. Battleship-linear cruiser-cruiser-destroyer. But the destroyers have the highest Froude number. In this line, it is gradually increasing, and among destroyers it is conditionally twice as large as that of battleships. This implies that at high speeds, the conventional destroyer will burn much less fuel per ton of displacement than the conventional battleship.
Another question is why these ships are needed. I suspect that, first of all, not for conducting hostilities, but for keeping watch. As a result, low cost of operation and autonomy are important. With these layouts, destroyers win. And the armor, especially such as on "Haguro" (about 2 thousand tons out of 11, it seems), is not at all in the subject. Additional mass - an increase in the surface of the underwater part of the hull - an increase in resistance - an increase in the mass of the power plant and fuel reserves. Also, high speed, combined with economy, will help light ships reach the desired points faster in the event of the start of hostilities. I saw above the opinion that a missile carrier can afford to be a turtle. I do not agree here. It is clear to any military man that troop mobility is very important. If only because it allows you to create a significant superiority in a certain area of ​​the combat zone before the enemy can react and regroup.

[moreman78]

How much can you write this nonsense!

[okroshka79]

I believe that the designers of domestic ships do not read the next fabrications of the author of the article, and you can be calm for optimizing the design of future ships, depending on the tasks they solve for combat mission. The author, taking up such an article even from the Internet, would have gained elementary knowledge on the theory of the ship, and then would have written about something. In particular, such a mistake that the power of a power plant weakly correlates with the displacement of the ship. Questions to the author of the article: does the correlation coefficient equal to him? But what about the Admiralty coefficient? It was also fun to read the dispute between the amateur Oleg Kaptsov and the certified specialist Nikita Dmitriev, to whom my respect.

[theone]

The answers to the questions posed in the article lie not so much in the field of technology, but rather in the field of economics and finance.
It is necessary to take into account not only the increased cost of building ships with reservation elements, but also the correspondingly increased cost of operation during the entire life of the ship, which is tens of years and, accordingly, spills a lot of extra penny. And how much will it cost for the entire fleet? The question is not idle.
Moreover, certain aspects of understanding by the country's top political leadership of the economic issues of military construction must be taken into account.
In fact, we have a product (warship) that was created and exists for two aspects - effective non-combat deterrence / military service and combat as such.
Over the past 80 years, the vast majority of warships have never participated in real hostilities, but they have been in combat duty for decades.

That is why the economic efficiency of the ship over its entire service life is at the forefront to the detriment of those qualities that significantly increase its combat stability, but at the same time place an additional economic burden on the country's economy.

As an analogy to such economic efficiency, we can recall the difference in the buoyancy margin of our two-hull and American single-hull submarines, which amounted to 20%. At the same time, the combat stability of our two-hull submarines with holes in a strong hull is naturally higher, but this imposes the need for decades to carry an additional considerable amount of ballast during combat duty.

Oleg, I was just thinking .. And you are probably right .. As soon as Russia puts in the "Invincible", and even, first, publicizing it .. How does the rest of the world (as you said there that destroyers are building 5- 6 countries, though not including Korea in this list, and there are the strongest EMs) immediately begins to feverishly re-equip their navies in case of an open meeting with our miracle suitcase. They spend their military budgets, suffer economically and emotionally (mentally), suffer social programs (for the sake of increasing the military budget), overstrain .. And then we ONCE ... and curtail construction ... as happened more than once .. explaining that " joked ".. And that's all, and here is our" answer to Chamberlain "for losing the Cold War ..

It was precisely in this that the Japanese and Yamato were mistaken when their characteristics were too classified.

[mvg]

Partially agree with you about the Japanese and Yamato.
It is unlikely that then the South Dakota would have acted so boldly. Yes, and launching under construction LK and LKr would be delayed until the appearance of 460 mm guns and towers under them. And redesigning and making changes is a long and expensive affair. But ... not for the American economy at that time ... And nobody canceled the asymmetric measures. Aviation, submarine, numerical superiority.

I do not really believe that the construction of such a ship and its performance characteristics can be kept in secret. Especially Musashi and Shinano (like) of the same type. You can buy a couple of workers / engineers.
True, these vessels were uselessly useless .. A pity. Could pat, besides nerves, also pants from the USA.
PS: Oleg .. Oleg, it would be interesting to read a hypothetical battle, between 2, 3 orders of ships in modern combat. Or the fight to destroy Zamwolt. Plus coastal aviation. Topic for an article, since the "Rurik" people don't like the armor topic ..

It was also fun to read the dispute between the amateur Oleg Kaptsov and the certified specialist Nikita Dmitriev, to whom my respect.

Forgive me for interfering .. But it is difficult to call Oleg someone who is an amateur. It's even inconvenient. Is the constructor 2 cat a panacea? Does he know everything, or is he just responsible for designing some narrow specialization? He's just not a dilettante, he probably finished "karabelka", works in his specialty, that's all ..
And Oleg is a fan, also has a tower, or even 2 .. techie .. He will come to the Baltzavod and in a couple of months will do the same work as Dmitry (he didn’t want to offend Dmitry). Easy and laid back. Such an experience in life is simple.
This is not the main or leading designer of the design bureau (and there are no irreplaceable ones there).
Just think out loud.

[Sem Faraday]

From an economic point of view, the author of the article is probably right. If we consider for example, not a new destroyer received one or two missiles in the side. What will happen to him? Most likely he will not drown and will be brought to the base, but there will be no sense in restoring it. The case can be repaired, but the burned and seawater-filled electronics, and still not new, are not advisable. So it turns out $ 2 billion to the tail. It is still possible to change the ship's architecture by introducing a large number of armored compartments for both electronics and CIUs, using duplication and redundancy more. Then the destroyer will have more chances under the impact of missiles to complete the last task and save more crew.

Guys, you understand, the times of the battleships have irrevocably gone. That protection, which used to be assigned to armor, in modern conditions rests on detection systems and firing stations, various kinds of active and passive jammers. And about amateurism, the author is an absolute amateur, Wikipedia calculations, his thoughts. The author never attended a warship, never went to sea at sea, and he will never be able to fully replace the designer of category 2. Elementary, there is no basic knowledge.

Dear mvg! What makes the layman different from the expert? The amateur talks a lot and juggles the terms in which. as it appears. does not understand. The specialist is distinguished by laconic speech and, surprisingly, he expresses more doubts in some kind of technical dispute. than peremptory technical statements of the amateur. Because the layman knows everything, the specialist knows what he was taught + self-education based on the knowledge gained and work practice. I personally have nothing against the articles of Oleg Kaptsov. He has his own audience and a flag in his hands. But I personally do not see the "techie" in his articles, since he is a techie himself. Everything is somehow at the top, albeit with fanaticism.

As an interesting fact. When after the war they tried to install the Talos PB system on a Cleveland-type cruiser, even after removing all the turrets and anti-aircraft weapons (except the front ones), stability problems started. Because of what I had to load the ballast about 500t. I can not vouch for accuracy, but it seems to be so.

And a little conspiracy theme. What is the reason for such an increase in the displacement of the "Zamvolt" compared to "Arleigh Burke"? Here is a topic for a persistent author to research. I can assume that energy storage devices are of considerable weight. (up to 75% of the power of the power plant goes to the reserve, depending on the mode of travel). The question is, why is this energy accumulated? Will SOMETHING come out of the superstructure later? And all our disputes about booking ...

Many modern rockets make a slide and hit a ship from above. In this regard, it is not very clear how to cover the radar equipment with armor, without which the ship, as a combat unit, loses all value.

The question is correct. Without a mast radar, this is no longer a ship.

The answer is incorrect. Due to the radar mast + ballast extended up to maintain metacentric stability. We exchanged armor for electronics and radars. It seems to have been discussed.

Torpedo bombers can sink large surface targets, but I was not talking about the confrontation of armored ships against torpedo bombers, everything should be harmoniously developed and interaction should be established, but an armored ship has much greater combat stability. The designers always understood this, besides, you don’t have to be very smart to understand that the armor penetration of missiles was MUCH lower than large-caliber AP shells, they simply didn’t allow ships to be armored in the atomic age, but the designers were exhausted as best they could, but the armor was for the largest and most important units all the same, they dragged the fleet.

"The cruiser" Kirov "became the first strike ship after the Second World War, the design of which provided for a sufficiently developed reservation. Engine rooms, reactor compartments and missile cellars of the" Granit "and" Metel "complexes are protected from the sides of 100-mm (below the waterline - 70 mm) and from the side of the deck with 70-mm armor.We also received armor protection for the premises of the main command post and the combat information post of the ship, which are located inside the cruiser hull at the waterline level: they were covered with 100-mm side walls with 75-mm traverses and a roof. In addition, in the stern there is armor on the sides (70-mm) and on the roof (50-mm) of the helicopter hangar, as well as around the storage of aviation fuel and ammunition; local armor cover is also located above the tiller compartments. Armor protection is also equipped with artillery installations and their cellars ammunition. "
From combat damage, the cruiser protects the double bottom throughout the hull, anti-torpedo protection, as well as local armor protection of vital parts of the ship. There is no belt armor, as such, on cruisers of the Kirov type - armor protection is located in the depths of the hull - but along the waterline from bow to stern there is a thickened skinning belt 3,5 m high (2,5 m above the waterline and 1 m below it) ), which plays an important role in the constructive protection of the ship.

Tell the designers how wrong they were, how much their knowledge is less than yours, how these crazy people in a clearly drunk (maybe narcotic?) Delirium thought about the benefits (the main thing is not a list of laughs, attention!)) 100mm !!!! armor, and already 50mm ...

You did not convince me, all sorts of sites (such as Wikipedia ) give the same information and quite reasonably and with links to respected authors, for some reason I believe these links and authors, as well as specialized forums where this info is considered reliable.
This means there is a reservation and places with thicknesses are specifically indicated, and the designers were guided by something.

[Andrey77]

Oleg, setting a reservation will not lead to anything other than an increase in displacement. The most important thing on the ship is electronics and BIUS. The first shot - won. You are a supporter of armor and the struggle for survivability - a flag in your hands.

[bk0010]

Has anyone wondered what kind of armored belt is needed to withstand an explosion of 500 kg warhead on it (and this without taking into account the kinetic energy of the rocket itself)? IMHO, an armored belt of a reasonable thickness will only act as a source of fragments. Remember, in World War 2, tanks were struck by close explosions of FAB 250 type bombs.

About rockets and torpedoes, I can not judge, there is always a chance for improvement! But it’s a shame to lose a warship, at the price of 5 lard, blown up by a wooden boat, with a hundred kilograms of TNT! When she broke through it, almost half, under the control of a pair of Papuans! So, booking, even if not from missiles or torpedoes, but in some cases, increases the survivability of the ship! But if some people like to go to the ocean, on cans, no problem, only then don’t blame that they ran into the fuel tanker, and didn’t go to the battle zone, they drowned before!

[Andrey77]

The mast radar (including ballast to maintain stability) will eat a second 50%. Or throw out the radar? As a result, we get. Or an armored monster, without a radar, with empty cellars. Or a cardboard box with a radar stuffed with weapons. Both will give the same move.

Quote: Andrey77

Your armor will eat 50% of your turn!

How to count?

[Riv]

The most common battleship. :))) It is possible to propose several methods and not to weigh the destroyer with armor, and at the same time provide increased survival.
First: submerge the hull under water. All. Cruise missiles can be launched from under water. If there is a need to turn on the radars, then you can ascend to the depth of the superstructure. The probability of finding such a ship from the surface is close to zero. Of course, the hull will be similar to the submarine hull, but what's the problem? After all, we can rivet "any body".
Second: use composite instead of monolithic steel armor. Ceramic, for example. The plate of such armor is disposable. A rocket explosion will crush it into powder, but what is the problem? Under it, two more layers are the same, and they weigh much easier than steel.
Third: the most non-trivial. A destroyer does not have to look like a warship. We are building a supertanker. We do not use some of the oil tanks, but mount launchers in them. How many Tomahawks can a Sirius Star take away? Oh, a lot ... Having given one single volley, the ship will condemn itself, but what's the problem? His task is not to survive, but to inflict maximum damage.

But why turn the destroyer into a battleship - I don’t understand. The task of the battleship has always been a battle within the line of sight. Well, that's why it is called a battleship. Destroyers fight differently.

[Urfin]

You can argue a lot about armor. But the fact remains: an armored ship with the same characteristics is better than unarmored.
But another question arises: what is better than 2 (or 1) armored ships or 3 (4) unarmored. There is already economics, tactics, strategy. Certainly with missile weapons, when a swarm of missiles with a 50% chance of hitting can be launched in a short period of time, it is better to have more unarmored ones. If we are talking about a rather slow rate of fire and poor performance (artillery), then it is better to have less ships, but armored ones.
In this regard, another question arises - in what proportions will the cost of building armored and unarmored ships be correlated.
Oleg tried to answer this question. But after he actually equated the tanker’s hull and the warship’s hull, doubts arose about the adequacy of further considerations.

[Andrey77]

The armor eats up too much! Nobody argues that armor is better than without. At what cost! Not in money - in the performance characteristics of the ship! For the sake of armor, you have to give up a lot.

[Urfin]

It would be nice if the experts wrote an article about why they would have to refuse. And how much this reduced the performance characteristics.
in 60-70 it was clear - the enormous weight and volume of electronics made the use of armor expensive both in terms of money and in terms of performance characteristics. But now, when miniaturization took place, it became possible to transfer some of the functions to satellites, drones, etc.
Has nothing really changed after that?
