<\/p>\n

A series that explains the mechanics of battleships that appear in the rebooted Space Battleship Yamato<\/em> series from Yamato 2199<\/em> to REBEL 3199<\/em>. The 7th installment is about the combat aircraft carrier Hyuga<\/em>, which appeared in Yamato 2205<\/em> with Asuka<\/em>. With the phase transition to “Operation DAD,” Hyuga<\/em> attempted to retrieve the crew of the former 65th Escort Squadron on Earth and deliver them to the Icarus Observatory, but was captured by the Dezarium fleet. With the release of the plamodel coming up, we’re curious to see what Hyuga<\/em> will do in the future, so let’s take a closer look at it.<\/p>\n

High-speed continuous aircraft launch port<\/h3>\n

A launch port exclusively for the port side aircraft storage cylinder. Equipped with a forced catapult that allows continuous launch at high speeds comparable to the Andromeda-class aircraft carrier type. In addition to aircraft, it can also launch large special warheads.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Twin cylinder hangar<\/h3>\n

The structure of each cylinder is inherited from Yamato<\/em>‘s aircraft hangar, but a palette can move to either the left or right cylinder, and aircraft can head to the first deck from either elevator on either side. The palette can be adjusted to accommodate not only attack and fighter squadrons, but also early warning and anti-submarine squadrons of different sizes.<\/p>\n

The Hyuga-class combat aircraft carrier Hyuga<\/em> was built based on the concept of a multi-functional composite standard battleship under the Fourth Defense Plan formulated in 2204. It has the armament of a battleship, heavy cruiser, or battlecruiser in the previous classification, and also functions as an aircraft carrier. <\/p>\n

The designation “aircraft carrier” comes from the classification used by the United Nations military before the Garmillas War. In the past, small spacecraft were broadly divided into space type and aircraft type. Aircraft that could operate in both atmosphere and outer space developed rapidly during the Inner Planet Wars, and as of 2207, aircraft are classified as spacecraft (such as space reconnaissance aircraft) in terms of operation. But when building a full-scale carrier, the Space Army, which developed from the Air Force, requested the name “aircraft carrier.”<\/p>\n

Built as the first ship of the Hyuga class, Hyuga<\/em> was completed by repurposing an unmanned Dreadnought class main battleship that was left under construction after the abandonment of the time fault, just like the Asuka-class supply carrier Asuka<\/em>. Because it is based on the Dreadnought class, the Hyuga class has a smaller overall length and flight deck area than the Andromeda class carrier type used during the Gatlantis war. For this reason, the first ship, Hyuga<\/em>, is limited in function to being a test bed for a future full-scale “regular aircraft carrier,” and is classified as a “light aircraft carrier” along with the Asuka<\/em> class. Two aircraft storage cylinders are arranged in parallel to accommodate four squadrons in the limited space inside the ship. <\/p>\n

The front half of the hull structure is almost the same shape as the Dreadnought class, and the bow is equipped with the same type of Wave-Motion Gun. The rear half has been converted into an aircraft hangar and has a flight deck.<\/p>\n

An angled deck (11.0 degrees) is used for the flight deck to allow for quick landing and storage of aircraft. The first deck is equipped with two high acceleration catapults for large aircraft (heavy lift class) and two elevators to accommodate the operation of the new space attack aircraft Cosmo Python. The fourth deck has a launch port that can launch aircraft continuously at high speed from the port-side aircraft storage cylinder.<\/p>\n

Two aircraft launch ports are provided on the left and right sides of the bottom of the ship, and like Yamato<\/em>, launch and landing can be performed from below. The lower launch ports are intended to be used for covert takeoff at sea.<\/p>\n

The entire superstructure, including the conning tower and main gun turrets, is offset to the starboard side, and the conning tower, which is extended aft while keeping the overall height low, forms an island. Although it is a light aircraft carrier, it has standard fleet command functions, so the performance of the communication equipment has been improved compared to the conventional Dreadnought class.<\/p>\n

The ship is manned, reflecting lessons learned from excessive unmanned operations during the Gatlantis War, but efforts have been made to reduce manpower, and the number of crew members was set at approximately 150 during the 2205 training voyage. Labor-saving measures are mainly achieved by using AU-type robots (40 AU-19 types) as the support crew.<\/p>\n

The first ship, Hyuga<\/em>, was built as a modified version of the Dreadnought class, and was initially called the Dreadnought modified class (officially known within the military as the Dreadnought modified Hyuga class). However, as the mass production plan was implemented, the official name was changed to that of the first ship, just like Asuka<\/em>, and a new class of ships, the Hyuga class, was created.<\/p>\n
