Bilans otwarcia cz.V




Krążownik pancerny typu Giżycko 1910 (4 szt.)

Chciałem zbudować okręt, który budziłby strach, lub przynajmniej szacunek u przeciwnika. Czy mi się to udało – ocenicie sami. Jednostka posiada bardzo silne uzbrojenie (tylko japońskie krążowniki pancerne typu Tsukuba i Ibuki miały silniejszą artylerię główną. Opancerzenie jest odporne na trafienia pociskami kalibru do 203 mm na średnich (wówczas) dystansach walki. Prędkość również sytuuje okręt w czołówce światowej. Spory zasięg i duża dzielność morska predestynują ten typ do działań oceanicznych. Pewną nowością są zamontowane na okręcie dalmierze optyczne, poprzez lepszą ocenę odległości zwiększające celność artylerii. Długolufowe działa (45 kal.) dają poważną siłę ognia, niewiele ustępującą ówczesnym działom 305 mm (40 kal.). Jak zwykle u mnie :), kazamaty dział średniego kalibru są usytuowane wysoko nad linią wodną, co daje pełną skuteczność ognia przy wzburzonym morzu. Ogólnie rzecz biorąc jest to bardzo silna i nowoczesna jednostka, praktycznie nie mająca sobie równych w tym czasie. W każdym razie nie obawiałbym się zbytnio spotkania naszego krążownika z typowym predrednotem z tych lat. Z większej odległości sylwetka może nawet robić wrażenie pancernika, ma także – moim zdaniem – dość nowoczesną sylwetkę dzięki trójnożnym masztom i niewielkiej ilości kominów. W latach 1910-1914 zbudowano 4 okręty tego typu, dzięki dużej odporności Wielką Wojnę przeżyły wszystkie.

Po przerwie odzyskałem „radość tworzenia” - myślę, że rysunek jest dopracowany, szczególną uwagę zwróciłem na cieniowanie. Sądzę, że jest to chyba mój najlepszy projekt, przynajmniej pod względem rysunku (de Villars, co Ty na to?).

Patrolowiec typu Mewa 1903 (7 szt.)

Taki sobie śmieszny (choć potrzebny) okręcik, a jestem zadowolony. Jakoś tak wyszła mi fajna, zwarta sylwetka. Okręty tego typu przeznaczone są do patrolowania obszaru Bałtyku, zwalczania ewentualnej kontrabandy i ogólnie są „okiem i uchem” Admiralicji na tym akwenie. Z uwagi na stosunkowo obszerne miejsce pod pokładem i dobre właściwości morskie, mogą również spełniać rolę okrętów ratowniczych. W latach 1903-1905 wcielono do floty 9 jednostek, Wojnę przetrwało 7.

Monitor typu Admirał Sierpinek 1912 (1 szt.)

Pierwszy (i być może nie ostatni) monitor w naszej flocie. Okręt można zaliczyć do raczej dużych jednostek tej klasy. Jak na monitor jest dobrze uzbrojony i opancerzony, posiada sporą szybkość i zupełnie dobrą dzielność morską. Zasięg jest niewielki, ale jego obszarem operacyjnym jest tylko Bałtyk. Dziwić mogą rozbudowane nadbudówki i duża liczba iluminatorów (jak - nie przymierzając – u transatlantyka :)), ale proszę wziąć pod uwagę, że okręt ma niewielkie zanurzenie, pod linią wodną oprócz kotłowni, maszynowni i magazynów w zasadzie nic już się nie mieści i wszystkie pozostałe pomieszczenia trzeba było przewidzieć nad linią wodną. Dodatkowo - co jest rzadką opcją – okręt może przewieźć desant w ilości ok. 200 żołnierzy. W roku 1912 zbudowano jedną jednostkę tego typu.

Stawiacz min typu Nereusz 1908-1909 (3 szt.)

Przedstawiam poniżej stawiacze min typu Nereusz. Będą we flocie jedynymi właściwymi minowcami, ponieważ przedstawione w części II bilansu otwarcia okręty typu Tryton przekwalifikowałem na krążowniki minowe, w końcu prawie 3 i pół tysiąca ton wyporności, jak na zwykły stawiacz min to trochę za dużo. Nereusze mają przyzwoitą dzielność morską, niezłą prędkość i zasięg pozwalający na postawienie min w każdym miejscu Bałtyku. W latach 1908-1909 wybudowano 4 jednostki, jeden z nich w czasie Wielkiej Wojny trafił na minę ze skutkiem ostatecznym (kto mieczem wojuje, ten …).

Krążownik lekki typu Piława 1910-1912 (5 szt.)

Nowoczesny lekki (ale opancerzony) krążownik. Okręt posiada liczną – choć niezbyt ciężką – artylerię, zgodnie zresztą z ówczesnym wyobrażeniem lekkiego krążownika. Mimo, że nie jest to ani krążownik pancerny, ani pancernopokładowy, to posiada dość poważne opancerzenie, jak na jednostkę tej wielkości. Zwraca uwagę silne wydłużenie kadłuba, co pozwala na łatwe uzyskanie znacznej prędkości, szybsze krążowniki pojawią się dopiero po 1914 roku. W latach 1910-1912 oddano 6 jednostek, w czasie Wojny jedna weszła na skały i musiała zostać porzucona.
