Non è possibile convertire una unità convenzionale in una nucleare. E non avrebbe neanche senso.


Non è possibile convertire una unità convenzionale in una nucleare. E non avrebbe neanche senso.


infatti è quel che temevo...Originariamente Scritto da W. Von Braun
ci sono troppe differenze strutturali...
1- il peso concentrato anzichè distribuito del gruppo reattore
2- la necessità di rimodulare la compartimentazione stagna, sicuramente differente in caso di propulsione nucleare
3- gli scambiatori di calore, strutture di grandi dimensioni difficili da impiantare
si correrebbero rischi notevoli per l'integrità strutturale dello scafo temo...
A MENO CHE non siano state progettate modifiche specifiche preventive tali da rendere tollerabile una simile modifica fatta senza dover ricostruire tutta la sezione....

Le strutture differiscono essendo concepite per impieghi totalmente differenti. Non avrebbe senso mettere in cantiere una nave con specifiche così diverse nella previsione di una riconversione futura. E inoltre i costi lieviterebbero a dismisura.


E' possibile invece, ma in effetti costerebbe troppo.


D'accordo, ovvio che tutto è possibile, anche costruire una portaerei spinta a remi, ma nell'ambito della "normalità" un intervento del genere sarebbe senza senso e ipercostoso.Originariamente Scritto da -ART-
Le modifiche necessarie all'installazione di un impianto nucleare modificherebbero così tanto le caratteristiche originarie della nave, che sarebbe equivalente a costruirne una nuova.


Operazioni di questo tipo per quanto complesse non sono affatto impossibili: lo si è fatto in passato anche in Italia con la trasformazione del Garibaldi classe Condottieri, ma in effetti non tenevo conto del costo che avrebbe una simile operazione.


riaggiorniamo questo 3d con l'ordine inglese delle 2 portaerei HMS Queen Elizabeth e la HMS Prince of Wales, mentre la decisione francese è rimandata a data da destinarsi

- Each ship will be similar size and weight as the ocean liner the QE2 The CVF dimensions are: 65,000 tonnes at full displacement; 280m (920ft) length x 70m (230ft) width at flightdeck level; 56m from keel to masthead – 6m taller than Nelson's Column; 11m max draft (keel to waterline); 9 decks deep + Flight Deck; 40 aircraft.
- Each ship weighs more than 32,500 average family cars.
- The maximum expected Air Group to be embarked is 36 Joint Strike Fighters and four Airborne Early Warning aircraft, bringing the combined weight of embarked aircraft to over 1,000 tonnes.
- CVF will carry over 8,600 tonnes of fuel to support the Ship and her aircraft – enough for the average family car to travel to the moon and back twelve times.
- The ships can carry more than 1,000 tonnes of food - enough to feed the crew for six weeks.
- The Flight Deck area is nearly 13,000m² - the equivalent of 49 tennis courts or three football pitches.
- The hangar is 29,000m³ - equivalent to 12 Olympic swimming pools.
- The Ship's Long Range radar is the same size to that of a large mobile home.
- CVF has two propellers of 6.7m diameter, weighing 33 tonnes each - Nearly two & half times as heavy as a double decker bus and one & half times as high. Each is driven by a pair of electric motors.
- The ships’ anchors will be 3.1m in height, each weighing 13 tonnes - almost as much as a double decker bus.
- Each of the two huge lifts that move aircraft from hangar to flightdeck can carry two fighter-bombers. They're so big one of them could carry the weight of the entire ship's crew.
- Total crew numbers on HM Ships Queen Elizabeth and Prince of Wales are only two fifths more than on the Invincible class – even though they are three times the size.
- Sixty-seven catering staff will cook the Ship's Company of up to 1,450 personnel three meals a day
- There will be four galleys on board, serving four large dining areas, the largest of which can serve 960 crew in an hour. The entire crew can be served in 90 minutes (45 minutes when at Action Stations).
- The crew will have a range of recreational facilities, when not on duty, such as cinema and fitness suites, available 24 hours a day. As is currently the case in the Fleet, all personnel have access to e-mail and the Internet, subject to satellite communications equipment not being used for operational purposes.
- In Britain's last big carrier, the Ark Royal scrapped in the late 1970s, sailors lived 100 men to a mess deck. On the new carriers they share six berth cabins with large and comfortable bunks and adjacent toilet facilities and showers.
- Using a combination of Diesel and Gas Turbine driven Generators, CVF will produce 109MW, enough to run a town the size of Swindon. The combined weight of the Diesel Generators is 800 tonnes.
- There will be 11 full time medical staff, managing an eight bed medical suite, operating theatre and dental surgery, which can also be augmented as the mission demands (eg humanitarian operations).
- CVF will produce over 150 tonnes of fresh water daily.
- In keeping with the most modern navy ships the new carriers will still have a NAAFI shop stocking confectionary items for private purchase that would not normally be supplied through Government sources, and CVF will have a sizeable shop to cater for the 1,450 personnel on board.
- Designing and building the ships is expected to sustain and create some 10,000 jobs across the UK throughout its design and manufacture. At the peak of assembly, over a thousand personnel are expected to be engaged on CVF at each of the yards at Govan, Barrow, Rosyth and Portsmouth.
