万吨级“霍金斯”号巡洋舰能驶抵武汉？

skysword2000

      刚看了《长江上的炮舰1900-1949》，感觉书比较薄，细节不多。 里面读到一句，1920年7月，皇家海军”霍金斯“号巡洋舰和7条各国炮舰停在武汉。
      查了一下维基，”霍金斯“号的吃水确实不象一条万吨级CA，然后当时该舰确实是在中国舰队任第5轻巡洋中队的旗舰。
      目前长江武汉段的通航深度是4.5米，这个可能是全年（冬季枯水期）的标准，夏季丰水期应该水位应该要高一些。记得辛亥革命时，2950吨的“海琛”、“海筹”、“海容”在炮轰北洋军后，就因为水深有限，退到下游去了，其吃水约4.9米，那时已经进入枯水期。长江航道是不是逐年在变浅，泥沙沉积？
      想问一下，哪里可以查到民国时期列强军舰来中国炫耀武力的历史记录，包括抗战胜利后美帝海军来中国访问的记录。

赫尔墨斯号航母30年代曾在汉口协助救灾。也曾打击广东福建附近海盗。

另，间战时代，香港是RN对日决战的前进基地。巨舰来华并非纯为炫耀武力。

哦，1931年8月，HMS Hermes (95) 到汉口救灾。 还碰上了林白夫妇也在那里用水上飞机救灾。林白夫妇的飞机撞坏后，帮忙把他们带到上海维修。
The ship remained at Wei Hai Wei until the end of August when she sailed up the Yangtze River for Hankow. She reached the inland port on 5 September and dispatched armed guards to put down unrest on several British-owned merchant ships. Her primary purpose, though, was to aid the Chinese government's survey of the massive flooding in the area. Charles Lindbergh and his wife, Anne Morrow Lindbergh, were also in the city to survey the flooding with their Lockheed Sirius float-plane and they were invited to use the carrier as their base. Unfortunately, their aircraft was flipped on the morning of 2 October by a strong current as it was being hoisted out by Hermes's crane. They were quickly rescued by a boat from the carrier, but their aircraft was damaged. Captain MacKinnon offered to take them and their aircraft to Shanghai where it could be repaired and the ship departed the next day. She remained in Shanghai until 2 November, when she sailed for Hong Kong.

看来那么多同志要求炸了南京长江大桥是有道理的啊，原来长江丰水期万吨级CV和CA都可以上驶到汉口。现在没查到日本和美国的巡洋舰有没有到过汉口，到南京和上海都很平常了。

辛亥年海军的行动更多地是政治考虑吧

汤芗铭游说萨镇冰时即以水位为理由之一，实际上水位并没有降到不能行动的地步。

与之类似，瑞澂等人说海军缺煤缺水等等也基本是为了渲染危机情况向军咨府求救…
