Study Concerning the Largest Capital Ship That Could Be Launched from a Slipway with Our Present Shipbuilding Technology as of August Showa 9
- AI summary (β)
- A research report (top secret) examining the largest capital ship that could be safely launched from a slipway using shipbuilding technology as of Showa 9. The Fourth Department of the Naval Technical Department compares experience in launching large ships since Kaga and Tosa, the transmission of technology after the Nagato class, and examples including Lexington, Saratoga, Normandie, and Rodney, and calculates the launching ways, sliding ways, and slipway bearing pressure. It concludes that slipway launching is possible up to a launching weight of 30,000 tons and a standard displacement of approximately 35,000 to 39,000 tons, and that ships of 40,000 tons or more require construction in a shipbuilding dock.
