but in fact this treaty was introduced by the United States and Britain in order to control the expansion of the Japanese Navy because in the Russo Japanese war the Japanese Navy defeated the Russian Navy and occupied Northeast China during World War I Japan as a member of the Allied Powers struck at Germany's sphere of influence in Asia and expanded its control in the Pacific region in 1921 Japan proposed to plan the 88 Fleet plan which aimed to build a huge Fleet consisting of eight super battleships and eight battle Cruisers and all warships had to be
less than eight years old this will become the most powerful Fleet in the world as a result the United States Britain and other countries became concerned and introduced treaties to restrict Japan of course Japan was not convinced but it signed the treaty anyway so the 15 years from 1922 when the Washington treaty began to 1936 were called the Navy holiday era as the name suggests the scale of Warship Construction in countries around the world has dropped significantly so why did the Navy holiday end in 1936 this is because Japan refused to sign the London Naval
treaty a new round of Naval limitation treaty in 1936 and instead secretly built large strategic ships the Firepower and tonnage clearly exceeded the upper limit stipulated in the treaty and the naval treaty became a dead letter in 1929 there was an economic crisis worldwide the most serious economic crisis to date and Japan was also severely affected at this time Japan's military and extreme nationalist forces were growing and they believe that Japan must expand to resolve its domestic crisis Japan is an island country and to expand it must strengthen its Navy they demanded to build more
and larger warships but the restrictions of the Washington treaty were there so Japan began to build them in secret because the world's first aircraft carrier the British HMS Titan was launched in 1918 although the aircraft carrier has not yet experienced actual combat the development of fighter jets has made the potential of aircraft carriers increasingly prominent so before the Washington treaty countries had already begun building aircraft carriers Japan's ship building plan at this time included two new aircraft carriers and the tonnage of the two aircraft carriers alone exceeded the treaty limit this is not enough Japan
also plans to build three superheavy strategic ships namely the yam class strategic ships in fact in Japan the military is not United but is full of factions there are the Imperial W faction that upholds the emperor the military faction that Advocates War The Diplomatic faction that emphasizes cooperation and the power faction that supports expansion these factions often quarreled over the Strategic decisions of the Japanese military and also disagreed on whether to expand the War in China the Japanese Navy and army also did not cooperate with each other and had no contact with each other even
the Navy is divided into Battleship faction and aircraft carrier faction the battleship faction believed that more battleships should be built to gain sea control while the aircraft carrier faction believed that Japan and the United States were bound to fight a war in the future and the location would be the Pacific Ocean the one that can gain an advantage at this time must be the aircraft carrier and more aircraft carriers must be built at the same time the dreadnut used a steam turbine as its power with with steam flowing through the turbine blades at high speed
to drive the propeller to rotate traditional warships use steam reciprocating engines which use steam to push the Piston to move in the cylinder they consume a lot of coal and are inefficient therefore the speed of the dread knot reached 21 knots which was also the world's first this Battleship with stronger Firepower thicker armor and greater maneuverability is simply a dimensionality reduction attack on warships of other countries thus a new round of ship building competition began and countries competed to build new battleships with great Firepower and stronger Firepower during World War I the naval battles at
that time were battleships of various countries bombarding each other on the high seas and the scenes were extremely tragic countries have become increasingly aware of the importance of battleships after World War I the construction of battleships in various countries became Unstoppable in order to control the expansion of Warships in various countries during the Washington conference in 1922 the United States led the United Kingdom as well as Japan France and Italy the strongest Naval powers to sign a naval arms limitation treat which aimed to limit the tonnage of strategic ships to three the tonnage must be
less than 15,000 tons and the caliber of the main guns must be less than 46 mm at the same time the tonnage ratios of the Navies of the five countries were stipulated the United States and Britain ranked first Japan ranked second and France ranked third in the end the Japanese Navy balanced the two forces and placed aircraft carriers on an equal footing with battleships moreover before World War II the United States did not have many aircraft carriers Japan believed that that if it could surpass the United States in the number of aircraft carriers it would
have a great advantage in Naval battles so Japan began to build aircraft carriers in large numbers moreover Japan's steel production in 1936 was 5 million tons compared with 50 million tons in the United States the huge gap makes Japan unable to cope with it building strategic ships requires a large amount of Steel and it is too difficult to catch up with the United States in the number of strategic ships therefore Japan turned to developing a model of small but highquality strategic ships that is is by building several giant strategic ships using the advantages of a
single ship to offset the numerical advantage of the US Navy this is the origin of the yam class strategic ships the initial plan for the yam class was to build two ships namely Yamato and moushi in 1939 on the eve of World War 2 Japan added two more yam class ships namely the third ship nobutaka and the fourth ship code named 111 after the war broke out Japan planned two super yam class ships and one yamok Kai class fifth ship if all are completed Japan will have five yam class strategic ships and two super yam
class strategic ships which will be the absolute first in the world Japan applied the best technology at the time to the yam class the standard displacement of the yam class is 64,000 tons and the full load displacement is 72,000 tons which is already the largest in the world moreover the yam class is equipped with the world's largest caliber 460 mm main gun with a total of nine triple mounted guns The Recoil when the front and rear main guns of the warship fire at the same time will caus the warship to retreat more than 10 m
on the sea a yam class ship requires 2,500 crew members 4,200 tons of heavy oil and 3,500 tons of food for one Mission this high standard is also the highest in the world Japan gave the best Crews and the highest equipment to the yam class when the war was intense and the crews of other Japanese warships could only eat one meal a day the crews of the yam class were still able to eat three hearty meals a day plus fruits and snacks and the entire ship was air conditioned and ventilated moreover these two strategic ships
have always been in the rear and rarely go to the front line it is no wonder that the Japanese Army named these two strategic ships yamad hotel and Musashi Hotel respectively on December 7th 1941 in order to take the initiative Japan dispatched a large Fleet including six aircraft carriers 350 carrier-based aircraft two strategic ships seven Cruisers and more than a dozen submarines to attack the United States by surprise Pearl Harbor the home of the Pacific Fleet sank all the Strategic ships in Pearl Harbor if the three us aircraft carriers had not happened to be outside
the port the outcome would have been even greater this was also the first major victory of the world's aircraft carriers and the advantage of aircraft over warships was fully highlighted with this battle alone the Japanese Navy truly realized the importance of aircraft carriers the third ship nobutaka was suddenly converted into an aircraft carrier when it was halfway under construction it was hastily put into service 10 days after being launched but was discovered by a us submarine only 17 hours after it went to sea and was subsequently sunked setting the record for the world's shortest lived
aircraft carrier even the captain died at Sea this aircraft carrier which Japan spent 5 years and poured countless efforts into building and was regarded as the last straw to save Japan's national Destiny sank into the sea without even taking off or Landing a single plane even the emperor of Japan uttered a sigh after hearing this so why was this aircraft carrier which Japan spent a huge amount of money on and was also the largest aircraft carrier in World War II so vulnerable how Fierce was the struggle between the battleship faction and the aircraft carrier faction
in Japan at that time today we are going to talk about the world's worst aircraft carrier a battleship is a large tonnage warship equipped with large caliber main guns and heavy armor in 1900 the world situation became even more tense and sea power was considered the key to National strength aircraft carriers had not yet been invented at that time and battleships were the most powerful weapons as a result various Naval Powers including Britain the United States Japan France Germany Italy Spain and Russia began to build their own battleships and the naval arms race began by
1904 Sir John fiser A recognized artillery expert became the first Sea Lord of the United Kingdom he pushed for a series of reforms aimed at coming up with a completely new Battleship plan he decided that the new battleships could be free from the limitations of all the shipyards in Britain at the time in order to pursue maximum Firepower and speed so 2 years later a battleship called HMS dreadn was put into service with a full load displacement of 21,000 tons and a main armor of 280 mm this Battleship adopted a brand new artillery design and
was equipped with 10 305 mm main guns which were the largest main guns in the world at that time these main guns are distributed in five twin mounted turrets located at the front rear and sides of the ship in addition the dreadnut used main guns with consistent ballistic performance allowing all main guns to aim at the same Target and fire in unison using covering Firepower to improve the hit rate this was the earliest Fire Control System for warships at the same time the dreadnut used a steam turbine as its power with steam flowing through the
turbine blades at high speed to drive the propeller to rotate traditional warships use steam reciprocating engines which use steam to push the Piston to move in the cylinder they consume a lot of coal and are inefficient therefore the speed of the dread knot reached 21 knots which was also the world's first this Battleship with stronger Firepower thicker armor and greater maneuverability is simply a dimensionality reduction attack on warships of other countries thus a new round of ship building competition began and countries competed to build new battleships with greater Firepower and stronger fire power during World

to the yam class the standard displacement of the yam class is 64,000 tons and the full load displacement is 72,000 tons which is already the largest in the world moreover the yam class is equipped with the world's largest caliber 460 mm main gun with a total of nine tripl mounted guns The Recoil when the front and rear main guns of the warship fire at the same time will cause the warship to retreat more than 10 m on the sea a yam class ship requires 2,500 crew members 4,200 tons of heavy oil and 3,500 tons of

carriers and the advantage of aircraft over warships was fully highlighted with this battle alone the Japanese Navy truly realized the importance of aircraft carriers however when the United States joined World War II and launched its war machine with all its might the Navy had too many battleships and even aircraft carriers and Japan was simply unable to keep up in the Battle of Midway in 1942 Japan lost four main aircraft carriers at one time and urgently needed new aircraft carriers as a result the Japanese Navy began to shift all of its Battleship resources to aircraft carriers
the fourth and fifth ships of the yam class were cancelled and the super yam class also remained on the drawing board the third yam class ship nobutaka which is currently under construction has been under constructed ruction for 2 years and will be ready for service in another 2 years however the war situation at the front was tense and the Japanese Navy decided to convert the half-built nobutaka into an aircraft carrier as soon as this decision was made it was met with strong opposition from the battleship faction and the two factions argued endlessly the aircraft carrier
faction had already sent two yam class ships to the front line to testify in order to force the battleship faction to compromise the officer and soldiers at the yam hotel in the rear also breathed a sigh of relief when they heard the news EnV feedback pay later race historico salvas
