近日翻阅了Vincent O'Hara所著的Torch: North Africa and the Allied Path to Victory,这位作者专精于地中海战区战史,这本书则是专门写盟军登陆北非的火炬行动的,里面有些数据颇有意思,同大家分享下。
命中记录

0725至0810间,麻萨诸塞号在23,000-27,000码的距离范围内8次命中(7发直接击中,1发间接伤害)让巴尔号,这是公认的动对静最远命中距离记录。
除此之外,还有两个命中情况引起了我的注意。
1) At 0956 Milan was twenty-seven hundred yards north-northwest of Oukacha steaming southwest when ships nearby saw her disappear in a giant green geyser. A 16-inch shell fired from the impressive distance of 28,000 yards smashed through the contre-torpilleur, exploding in the No. 2 crew’s quarter and rupturingthe hull to starboard at the waterline. Splinters wreaked havoc, destroying the radio room and cutting through the sick bay. Some penetrated all the way to the bow. Fires erupted and spread rapidly. With more than a hundred casualties Milan turned into the wind to contain the flames and slowly drifted toward Roches Noires while survivors jettisoned ammunition and torpedoes.
9时56分,麻萨诸塞号在28,000码距离上击中了Milan号超级驱逐舰。“giant green geyser”指的是麻萨诸塞号的穿甲弹内的绿色染料造成的绿色水柱。
2) At 1010, with Boulonnais and Brestois spewing clouds of white and black smoke, Chazereau ordered a torpedo attack estimating the range as 11,800 meters. However, a transmission failure prevented execution, and as the division turned to starboard, an 8-inch shell plunged into Brestois’s forecastle. This exploded in the crew’s quarters and flooded the galley and cale à vin (wine locker). This was before Augusta engaged and while Tuscaloosa was shelling La Grandière, which at 1006 had ventured from the smoke shrouding the harbor to rescue Fougueux’s men. Wichita was targeting “whichever of 3 DD’s [destroyers] or Primauguet could best be seen in the smoke” and was likely the source of this blow, which, if so, was delivered from nearly 27,000 yards.
10时10分,可能是威奇塔号在接近27,000码距离上击中了Brestois号驱逐舰。
交战态势图

这两个记录似乎分别是战列舰对驱逐舰以及巡洋舰对驱逐舰的最远动对动命中距离记录,且后者似乎也是8寸炮的最远命中记录。 |
