History
The Feng Huang class originated with the naval renewal act in 1992. This act created new designs for almost every type of ship including the carrier. Then known as the NCVCX3322, the carrier originated from a Nimitz like deign. Slowly and over time the design was refined until it became what it is today. During the design period that lasted four years additions such as the radar reduction of the island was added, These numerous design changes were mostly suggested by the air force, which had taken an interest in the carrier to help project Firehelper air power over the globe. At the conclusion of the four year design period Firehelper shipyards began the construction of the first ship. This first ship was quickly built in another two years. The ship undertook an entire year of shakedowns where errors were recorded and changed in the ships still under construction. Now these ships form the core of the Firehelper task forces projecting their power over the globe.
Design
Flight Deck
The 350m flight deck is several football fields worth of area of floating firehelper territory. This territory is one of the most dangerous and hazardous places in firehelper. This floating territory will serve firehelper and help defend it. To do that the flight deck must be properly designed to accommodate its uses. The use of the flight deck is the landing and launching of the planes. While empty this deck might seem long and overly spacious. However, with a maximum of over 20 fighters or other aircraft stored on the deck this area becomes exceedingly small. With this seemingly small area steps must be taken to ensure the usefulness of the space. The flight deck of the ship is angled to allow for landing and takeoff operations at the same time. This angled tech is a British invention that has allowed for many more fighters in the air in a shorter span. The twenty fighters are liked to be kept on deck due to the fact that captains like the use of elevators. These elevators take up valuable space and are of great value to the crews on the deck. The flight deck has four catapults, however only two can be used when a plane is landing. The two at the front are the ones most used and also require the most mantinance due to the fact that it is used most often. These catapults are new electromagnetic ones these catapults require more energy however they save money in the form of less maintainance on aircraft. The carrier has a maximum launch capacity of eight to twelve aircraft a minute.
Hull
The Hull of a ship is its most important part. Without this part a ship couldn't float. This is further compounded by the Use of metal, the use of which many ancient races would have found to be magic. The ship uses a tripple hull bottom an double sides. The hull of the carrier is full of compartments that range from bulkheads to fuel. This amounts to a large amount of torpedo protection. This system is effective both against contact and under the keel hits. The gouter hull is formed from carbonised steel as a light armor. The ship is not fitted with major armor due to the fact that the purpose of a carrier is long rage first strike capability. Should a ship get in gun range a carrier is next to useless and tis escorts must defend it and try and fend off the attacker. However, the hull of the carrier can take a beating as 1/3 of it must flood before it can sink. The outer hull also has multiple places both inside and out for entering the ship hull. While these areas are not connected to prevent borders from entering the ship too easily they can still be used to service and reload internally mounted CWIS systems. These systems are all prjectile base unlike the RAM on the flight deck. However, the multiple arcs of the CWIS systems.
endurance
The Feng Huang Class uses a pebble bed reactor to provide power. The reactor gives the ship near unlimited endurance time. However, the ship must refuel every five years. It must also use
Command Redundancy
The bridge, while offering a good command point, is a very big target. Should it be destroyed the artillery command center comes online. From this room the command of the ship can still be carried out though with less efficiency. It uses a patchwork of cameras around the ship to provide a panoramic view in the room. Other cameras may also monitor the activity on the deck of the ship, tho9ugh this is usually no longer nessecary as planes are vulnerable targets to shells.
Hanger
The hanger takes up an entire deck and can store a maximum of 90 aircraft. the elevetors allow these aircraft to be raised onto the ship.
Power
The Feng Huang uses 2 reactors that produce 200 MW each
Speed
The Feng Huang has a top speed of 38 knts but has a max cruise of 33 knts.
Weapons
The Feng Huang carries Several SAM and SSM missile launcher assemblies and the missiles to reload them four times. It also carries a very large amount of CWIS for defense. Of all these CWIS 8 are located on the deck and the rest are in the double hull.
Other
- Passive jet blast deflector: Redesigns and new materials mean reduced maintenance costs.
- Island designs: Improve flight deck access and reduce signature and electronic self-interference.
- Signature reduction: Curved flight deck edges smaller islands and internal aircraft elevators add up to maximum stealth.
- Aircraft pit stop: Semi-automated refueling and servicing in a new configuration and deck location provides faster, more efficient airwing pit stops and requires fewer people.
- Manpower reductions: Technology, space rearrangement, operational procedure changes, advanced sensor technologies and condition-based maintenance systems all allow for a smaller, specially-trained crew.
- Reconfigurable spaces: Life-of-the-ship modular construction designs provide flexibility and reduce cost.
- Expanded bandwidth: More onboard and offboard capability gives the ship a communications edge.
- Zonal electrical distribution systems: Isolate the potential for problems and minimizes the effect on the rest of the ship.
- Automation insertion: Material movement devices, semi-autonomous, gravity compensated weapons handling devices, damage control automation systems and components will reduce the ship's crew and costs.
