THE GRAF ZEPPELIN

The Graf Zeppelin

Work on the project of the aircraft carrier started in 1934. In 1935, signed by the United Kingdom agreement, which authorises Germany to own a fleet of at the level of 35% of the Royal Navy. The agreement, inter alia, set a total displacement of German aircraft carriers at 47 250 tons. The displacement of one of the ship was not allowed to exceed 23 000 tonnes. The germans, however, decided for the construction of two units, each about a displacement of 23 530 tons, but officially they ship displacement 19 250 tons.

According to the plan "From" drawn up by the staff of the Kriegsmarine with a view to 1948, should have German navy mandatory 4 aircraft carriers.

The construction of the first two of them - "Flugzeugträger And" B " was allowed in the year 1937. The price of construction of the first, which received the name of the Graf Zeppelin, had become 60 million dm. The price was without arms, and lots of technical equipment. For the second ship has been selected, the name of the Peter Strasser.

The hull of the aircraft carriers Graf Zeppelin was launched on the water 8.12.1938. At the award ceremony were present, inter alia, Adolf Hitler, Hermann Göring, von Blomberg, and the godmother has become Hella von Branesten-Zeppelin, the daughter of the famous builders of airships after which the ship was named. In that same year, work began also on the sister ship Peter Strasser.

In June 1940 they were stopped all the work over the aircraft by ships. The times was the Graf Zeppelin is finished of 90%. The germans had during the construction of the experiencing considerable difficulties of a technical nature, whether it was a problem with catapults, or running landing.

At the end of 1941, the shipyard Deutsche Werke in Kiel, has been given a permit to resume construction of the ship the Graf Zeppelin. Also got a warrant, to explore the possibility of rebuilding the passenger ship Europa and Potsdam and the heavy cruisers were more heavily armed on aircraft carriers. With the rebuilding of the cruiser and more heavily armed then really started.

The Graf Zeppelin was characterized by a large width of the deck. Additionally, i received protitorpédovou the shell plating,and together with further enhancements to the armor below the waterline quite has greatly increased the dive boat. Yet the ship was having armoured only slightly. The side armor on the level was 100 mm and slowly tapered to 60 mm at the bow and stern. Stores of bombs and fuel tanks on the waterline to protect the breastplate of just 60 mm, přečemž above the surface of the armor zeslaboval to 40 mm. Armor between the hangar and the flight deck had a thickness of 20 mm.

The Graf Zeppelin had two relatively long and spacious hangars. The total area of the hangars was for example, more than on the british aircraft carrier HMS Ark Royal, which yet the Czech team took it on the 18 aircraft more!!!! According to the project should be on the boat 42 aircraft divided into 3 squadrons. The two should have the fighter aircraft BF-109T and the third, průzkumně bomber squadron, should be provided with the aircraft initially the type of the Fi-167, later, the Ju 87 C. Hangars were with the flight deck linked to the three elevators, which had a dimension of 15.2 * 14,3 m. On the bow of the flight deck were 2 catapults. The aircraft should take off from these katapultů quite original. Should be already in the hangar placed on a special trolley, which is joined to the catapult. Catapult to put the aircraft on take-off weight of up to 5000 kg speed of 120 km/h.

The artillery armament from české budějovice represented 16 of the works of the caliber of 150 mm, distributed over two in casemates and 12 of the works of the caliber of 105mm. Medium anti-aircraft weaponry from české budějovice represented the clusters 11 dvojhlavňových guns caliber 37 mm and 7 of each of the guns caliber 20 mm.

24.5.1945 ukořistila slightly damaged the Graf Zeppelin, the Russian troops. Just before, however, the Germans managed to destroy the machine. The ship was recognized as a valuable prey and was sent to Russia. In 1947 the ship was towed to Leningrad, in the gulf of Finland, however, driven by the ship ran on a mine and sunk. In 1948 was the Graf Zeppelin collected from the bottom and sold for scrap.

On the way of extinction, however, still shrouded in controversy. In addition to the above version should be the Graf Zeppelin flip and together with the převáženými cenostmi sink, the other version says its sinking as a practice target.

V roce 1939-1940 byla upravena Avia B-534(přistávací hák) na zkouška pro letadlovou loď. Z těchto testu jsem viděl ve starším ročníku L+K dvě fotky.Nakonec bylo od dalších testů upuštěno.

Byly upraveny 3 ks Avií B 534, ale jak a přesně zkoušky probíhaly nevím.

Upravené stroje byly použity při zkouškách přistávání s přistávacím hákem. 3lo o stroje posledního výrobního bloku (s kabinou) podle některých zdrojů snad jeden ze strojů byl Bk 534 tedy kanonová verze. Stroje se používali na letišti kde byly postaveny navjáky brzdící lana a byly zkoumány možnosti zachycení a brždění. Není jasné zda byl zesílen trup.

Dík za upřesnění, ještě by mě zajímalo, jak to bylo s tou kapacitou, znám ofic udaj 42 ks, ale velikost hangaru by snad umožnila větší počet, byla by tu i možnost parkování na palubě.
Jedná se u tohoto udaje jen o papírový udaj, nebo je to skutečné vytížení?
