#WARSHIP CRAFT ANTI AIRCRAFT GUN SERIES#

Purple вЂ“ QF 2- Pdr вЂњPom-PomвЂќ Quadruple Mounts Total Throw Weight вЂ“ 6,308lbs per minute.Heavy Anti-Aircraft Guns вЂ“ 3,420lbs per minute.Light Anti-Aircraft Guns вЂ“ 2,888lbs per minute.Throw Weight вЂ“ 16.625lbs Per Barrel Per Minute.Throw Weight вЂ“ 14.375lbs Per Barrel Per Minute.Throw Weight вЂ“ 129.12lbs Per Barrel Per Minute.Throw Weight вЂ“ 300lbs Per Barrel Per Minute.Throw Weight вЂ“ 270lbs Per Barrel Per Minute.Yellow вЂ“ 12.7mm Vickers (Quadruple Mounts) As combat went on, the rate of fire would diminish steadily due to the crews tiring, weapons over-heating, etc We are also calculating the guns at their theoretical maximum rate of fire.This is the rate of fire that they would typically achieve with the crew pausing to reload, etc. We are calculating guns by their practical rate of fire.This should give us a clear idea about which was the most powerful battleship in the anti-aircraft role.

Once we have calculated the firepower of each battleship, we will then rank them in a series of graphs at the end of the post. If a battleship changed hands, we will also count it as a seperate warship. In these situations, the modernized/rebuilt battleship will be broken down into a sub-class (Example вЂ“ Richelieu and her sister Jean Bart). This will not apply for battleships that underwent substantial reconstruction/modernization. We will use one battleship to represent each class. In this post, we will break down the anti-aircraft firepower of each battleship from World War II to the post-war years. This post will kick off the series by looking at the anti-aircraft guns of each battleship to determine which battleship had the best anti-aircraft firepower by calculating the throw weight of each ship. IвЂ™m working on a comprehensive ranking system to establish a hierarchy in the effectiveness of each class of battleship, basically finding what was the best battleship.
