回复 mathewwu 的帖子
为保持贴子内容的完整性, 我将关于turret whip的回复贴在这里:
Regarding turret whip, you are correct in your assumption that the reason for the original plan for gun delay was to avoid turret whip as much as possible. If nothing else, it was hard on the gun trunnions, which were not designed to withstand high transverse loading. In the 1980's reactivation, the initial arrangement of delays could not be maintained because the various electronic antennas, etc. that were added after the war were -- at least initially -- simply not robust enough to reliably withstand the firing of many guns simultaneously, particularly on certain bearings. In order to avoid topside damage to lighter equipment, it became necessary to only fire one gun per turret at a time. This presented no problem when firing the center gun, but if the wing guns were fired, some turret whip was unavoidable. The solution was to somewhat beef up the gun trunnions, adjust the training motors a bit, and simply increase the delay in the fire of the wing guns until it was long enough to give the fire control system time to bring the turret back on train again after the wing gun fired. This took only a very brief time -- perhaps a second -- and the gun turret was ready to fire again. As there was very little tactical necessity to fire all guns in a turret simultaneously, this posed little practical difference at all. It meant that a nine-gun salvo (if it were ever necessary to fire one) might be spread out over perhaps four seconds of time instead of going off all at once. So the problem was, indeed, solved.
