战舰世界：美系航母科技树最新曝光

　　The US Aircraft carrier tech-tree starts at Tier IV.

　　在战舰世界中，美帝航母从4级开始(当然，其他国家也是如此)

　　Tier IV – Langley

　　4级————兰利

　　Langley was the first aircraft carrier to serve in the US Navy. It was rebuilt from the collier Jupiter in the early 20s and served as a platform where naval designers tested new techniques and technological innovations for the next generation aircraft carriers. Due to its specific origin, it could not boast any strong armour or a good cruising speed. At the time of construction, dive bombers were not yet adapted to life as part of a fleet, thus, the Langley’s air group was limited to just fighter squadrons and torpedo planes.

　　由"木星号“煤船改装而来的兰利是第一条在美国海军服役的航母，兰利被用于测试那些被用于建造下一代航母的新技术。由于是运煤船改造而来，兰利既没有优良的防护，同时也没有高速。在当时，俯冲轰炸机还不成熟，因此，兰利只有战斗机和鱼雷机可用。

　　Tier V – Bogue

　　5级-博格级

　　An escort aircraft carrier, built on the basis of a Type C-3 cargo ship. Production of ships of this class didn’t require a lot of time and money and this is why they were produced in large quantities throughout the Second World War. Although the cruising speed and armament of the Bogue was only slightly better than the Langley, dive bombers were now part of the air group. They are able to deliver a lot of trouble to enemy ships as well protect the ship against sudden attacks.

　　由G-3标准货船改装而来的护航航空母舰。建造该型航母不花很多钱也不费太多时间，这也就是为什么该型航母能在二战中被大量生产的原因。虽然该型航母防护和速度只比兰利好上一点，不过该型航母可以使用俯冲轰炸机了。博格级不仅能给敌人带来许多麻烦，同时也能保护自己的队友免受空袭。

　　Tier VI – Independence

　　6级-独立级

　　In 1943, the construction of the heavy-striking Essex types was far from complete. In order to strengthen the aircraft carrier fleet, relatively small ships were added to it as bulk. In 1942 and 1943, light aircraft carriers such as the Independence class were added, rebuilt on top of unfinished models of the Cleveland cruiser series.

　　Because of its modest size, the Independence carries only 2 all-purpose guns on board and therefore does not do well in close battles. However, it has high cruising speed at 32 knots, which was inherited from the cruiser origins. The ship also boasts a fairly strong anti-aircraft defence.

　　在1943年，由于埃塞克斯级航母还没有建成，为了强化机动部队，需要一些相对较小的航母。在1942-43年，诸如独立级之类的轻型航母就出现了，独立级是由克利夫兰级巡洋舰的船体改造的。

　　由于独立级中等的体积，该型航母只能在甲板上安放两门高平两用炮，因此在近距离作战中很吃亏。不过，得益于克利夫兰级船体带来的高达32节的航速。该型航母依然能在航空战中发挥作用。

　　Tier – VII Ranger

　　7级-突击者级

　　The first US Navy ship which was “born” as an aircraft carrier and not built from other types of ship. In order to save displacement, which was limited by conditions of the Washington Agreement, ship armour was significantly weakened. However its number of air groups is almost equal to that of its “classmates”. This US aircraft carrier has a very unusual silhouette – its chimneys were located not in the superstructure but aft, along the boards.

　　不是从其他舰船改装而来的突击者级是美国第一级”纯正血统“的航空母舰，由于华盛顿海军条约的限制，该型航母的防护不算太好，不过载机量依然很充足。该型航母长得并不像传统的美国航母————烟囱不是安放在上层建筑上，而是在船舷。

　　Tier VIII – Lexington

　　8级—列克星敦级

　　According to the terms of the Washington Agreement, each of the participating countries, in order to reduce financial losses, had the right to convert two under-construction battleships or battlecruisers into aircraft carriers. In the US Navy, such “turncoats” were the Lexington class ships, reconstructed from the same-named battlecruisers.

　　The Lexington’s ancestry gave the ship good speed and very decent armouring by the standards of aircraft carriers, which, if necessary, helps it to brush off light enemy ships in close combat. A powerful anti-aircraft defence and a large number of air groups, in most cases, will to not allow enemy ships and aircraft within firing range.

　　根据华盛顿海军条约的规定，每个缔约国，为了减少金钱损失，有权将2两条未完工的战列舰/战巡改装成航母，因此，两条列克星敦级战巡就被改装成了航母。

　　因为列克星敦的战巡血统，所以该型航母有优良的速度和尚可的装甲(当然，针对那个时候的航母而言)，这使其在紧急关头也能与轻型船只在近距离交战。 强有力的防空火力和大量的舰载机，列克星敦级能轻松打击航程内的敌人。

　　Tier IX – Essex

　　9级——埃塞克斯级

　　One of the most famous ships of the Second World War and the most mass produced aircraft-carriers in naval history. Individual ships were built in record time – about 14 months – the fastest built aircraft carrier of all time. One of the important innovations in the ship’s design, which was successfully used in other generations of aircraft carriers, is the side aircraft-elevator, which helps to save space on the flight deck. It differs from its predecessor in the tech-tree by having an extra air group and weak side armour, which forces the player to keep opponents at a distance.

　　埃塞克斯级是二战中最著名的一级航母，同时也是海军史上生产数量最多的大型舰队航母。14个月就能完工的记录也是旷古绝今。 该型航母最大的变革在于其设计——————侧向升降机————这种节省了飞机甲板空间的设计被用在很多航母之上。 和科技树上面其他航母不同，埃塞克斯级有额外的舰载机编队和相对薄弱的侧舷防护，玩家必须把握好作战距离。

　　Tier X – Midway

　　10级—中途岛级

　　USS Midway – he last “line carrier” of the American fleet. It was equipped with an armoured flight deck, firstly proposed by British designers, which protected the ship even from heavy bombs. Midway carries one of the largest air groups in World of Warships, which, in combination with a good cruising speed and a strong armouring, turns it into a real sea monster!

　　中途岛级是美国最后采用直式甲板的航母。中途岛级的装甲飞机甲板能有效抵御炸弹的攻击，同时，中途岛级也是全游戏舰载机最多的航母，配合优良的速度和防护，中途岛可谓是真正的海上怪物。
