In 1930, MCM partnered with the Toledo Group, cementing its position as one of the region's largest and most productive shipbuilding companies. Apart from assembling and outfitting vessels, MCM also produces specialised equipment for both civil and military use. Its most popular systems include the Naval version of the ANCILE Missile Defence System (pioneered with the Western Argis Aerospace Defence Command), signals intelligence equipment, Ship-board communications systems, and navigation systems. 1 Link to comment
Iverica Posted October 5, 2017 Author Share Posted October 5, 2017 República Class Hybrid Carrier The República class hybrid carrier is a medium carrier/amphibious assault ship. It combines a significant aircraft complement with the well-dock (hangar for amphibious vehicles) typical of an AAS. It is primarily a short take off (STOBAR) carrier but carries slots for the instalment of catapults (CATOBAR). The two island superstructures serve as aircraft and landing craft control respectively but are capable of accomplishing both roles individually. The well-dock is a submersible bay located at the stern which is capable of launching a landing task force. If necessary, the vehicle bay can serve as an additional aircraft hangar. Two features were added as of 2015. The first was a replacement of deck plating around the jet blast deflectors with heat-proof high-tensile ceramic. The second included the addition of a more bulbous bow Type: Aircraft carrier/Amphibious Assault Ship Unit Cost: $5.5 Billion (NS Units)// Number Built: 2 Dimensions Displacement: 78,400 metric tons (70,000 long tones) Length: 300 m (985 ft) Beam: 39 m (128 ft) waterline 73 m (240 ft) overall Draught: 11 m (36 ft) Decks: 16,000 m2 (170,000 sq ft) 9 decks beneath flight deck with air-hangar covering sections of two decks, and amphibious hangar covering an additional two Power & Propulsion Installed power: 2 × Spano-Suisa (THI) Torres MT30 36 MW (50,000 hp) gas turbine engine 4 × MCM 38 marine diesel engines (4 × 16V38 11.6 MW or 15,600 hp) Propulsion: Full integrated electric propulsion 4 × Converteam 24 MW (32,500 hp) Advanced Induction Motors 4 × shafts; fixed pitch propellers Speed: In excess of 28 knots (51.8 km/h; 32.2 mph) Range: 12,000 nautical miles (22,224 km; 13,809 mi) Personnel Complement Troops: 1800 marines or auxiliary personnel (including berths) Complement: 679 crew, not including air element; total berths for up to 1,100 crew Landing Craft: 3 Landing Craft Air Cushion or 2 Landing Craft Utility 12 Landing Craft Mechanized (AAV/LAV) Electronics Systems Sensors and processing systems: S1850M long-range radar Type 997 Artisan 3D medium, T-997L long-range (and surface search) radar, T-1000 Air-Search Radar, AN/SPQ-9B target acquisition radar, AN/SPN-46 air traffic control radars, AN/SPN-41 landing aid radars 4 × Mk 91 NSSM guidance systems FOREL Series 2500 Electro-Optical System Glide Path Camera (GPC) ANCILE Ballistic Missile Defence System Electronic warfare & decoys: AN/SLQ-32A(V)4 Countermeasures suite Countermeasures including flare, chaff, and buoy decoys for torpedos Armament CIWS: 3 × Phalanx Guns: 4x 30-mm DS30M Mk2 guns; 4x 12.7mm HMG SAM: 4 x launchers: RIM-162 Maya-Gorrión RAM Aviation Aircraft carried: Carrier Air Wing of up to 50 aircraft (60 at full complement) SeT-91C/SeT-91CA SeT/TA-201 (only with CATOBAR installed) SUR-31 Cavall SAR-26 Barracuda SAR-24 Cérvol CP-2 Búfalo Various auxiliary aircraft (AWACS, utility, amphibious, anti-mine, reconnaissance, electronic warfare, anti-submarine, etc.) Aviation facilities: Large flight deck with ski jump (CATOBAR optional) Hangar deck Three aircraft lifts Notes: Capable of carrying more than 70 aircraft if amphibious deck is cleared --- As of This Refit- 10th of July, 2018, the following changes have been implemented on the República class carriers: República Flight III: 3x Gatling CIWS and 4x RAM CIWS replaced with an integrated system (3 units (Kashtan) Installation of 4x Naval Nuclear Reactors (awaiting final development and installation) Installation of Bow Thruster MASS softkill system Installation of 2 more catapults (4 total), 2 catapults work as hybrids with the ski-jump which has remained in case of catapult failure 1 Link to comment
