China-The Kuomintang government also has a navy, but most of them are defense ships and coastal defense ships, with a displacement of less than 1 10,000 tons. The largest 1 is the light cruiser Ninghai commissioned by Japan on the eve of the "9. 1 8" incident. The Houhai Military Department also built a sister ship of Ninghai, Pinghai. Although it was built by Jiangnan Shipyard, the design is the same as that of Ninghai, and the parts and components are provided by Japan, and the former shipbuilding director of Ninghai is hired as the technical chief engineer of Jiangnan Shipyard to supervise the manufacturing. 8. After the Kloc-0/3 Incident, the Battle of Songhu, in which ships from both sides participated, was sunk in Jiangyin by the carrier aircraft of the Japanese aircraft carrier "Kaga" in the Yangtze River estuary. At this point, there was no navy in China during the Anti-Japanese War.

Japan's joint fleet-still relatively strong, equipment situation: the famous ones are:

Aircraft carriers: Chicheng, Yunlong, Black Dragon, Dragonfly, Kaga, Xiangfeng, Ruihe, Nong Xin, etc.

Battleships: Yamato, Musashi, Kirishima, Changmen, King Kong, Lu 'ao, Fusang, Yi Shi, Sunward, etc.

United States-At the beginning of World War II, the United States Navy had 345 ships, with 65.438+0.43 million tons.

17 battleship, 8 aircraft carriers, 18 heavy cruiser, 19 light cruiser, 165 destroyer, 106 submarine.

Among them, the Pacific Fleet consists of 9 battleships, 3 aircraft carriers, 12 heavy cruisers, 9 light cruisers, 67 destroyers and 12 submarines. Facing the joint fleet, the strength is obviously insufficient. Later, relying on its unparalleled national strength (industrial strength and economic strength) and superior undisturbed geographical position unmatched by European and Asian countries, the US Navy established an unprecedented super maritime fleet in the history of the world navy during World War II. By the end of World War II, the number of heavy surface combat ships (battleships and cruisers) and the number of aircraft carriers owned by the US Navy were in an absolute leading position in the world. Through the Pacific War, he defeated Japan, an eastern maritime power; At the same time, by supporting the British navy's actions in the Atlantic Ocean, it surpassed the British navy in one fell swoop and became a veritable world number one.

England-

The British navy surrendered its position as the world's first naval power in World War II. However, at least before the war and at the beginning of the war (before the United States entered the war), the British navy undertook the absolute main task of the allies in maritime operations against the Axis countries. On the eve of the war, the main warships of the British navy were as follows:

Seven Fiji class ships are under construction: Fiji, Kenya, Nigeria, Mauritius, Trinidad, Gambia and Jamaica. Two Ugandan-class buildings are under construction: Uganda and Ceylon, and Newfoundland started construction after the war.

In addition, Britain also had the world's largest destroyer force (about 200 ships) and more than 50 submarines. It was worthy of being the first naval power in the world at that time.

Germany-The German navy was forced to enter the battlefield of World War II without completing the necessary preparations.

Part I: Large surface warships.

(1) Warships and combat cruisers:

In World War II, the German Navy invested nine battleships in four categories: two Bismarck-class large battleships; (all sunk in battle), 2 Shane Horst class battleships; (One ship sank in battle, one was scrapped after heavy damage and sank as a blockade ship), three German-class pocket warships; (1 ship 1939 was forced to sink by itself, and two 1945 were destroyed in the air raid) Two German-class former intrepid battleships.

Germany also captured some foreign battleships, including two from Italy,/KLOC-0 from the Soviet Union and several from France. None of these battleships served in the German navy, and most of them were disintegrated by the Germans.

(2) Cruisers:

The German Navy has 10 six-class cruisers serving in World War II;

Five "Admiral hippel" class heavy cruisers were completed, and Luzov was sold to the Soviet Union to participate in World War II (semi-finished). The war ended after Cedritz converted the aircraft carrier to 95%. Of the three ships in service, one sank in Norway on 1940, the other was destroyed in an air raid on 1945, and the prinz eugen was destroyed in the post-war American atomic bomb test. Emden class light cruiser 1. Three K-class light cruisers, two of which sank in Norway 1940, and 1 sank after heavy losses at the end of the war. Nuremberg class light cruiser 1. Leipzig class light cruiser 1. NIOBE was an old ship of the German Navy during World War I and served in the German Navy for a period of time during World War II. Originally a Yugoslav naval training ship, it was captured by Italy and became a light cruiser. It was captured by the Germans in 1943 and was piloted by German and Croatian naval personnel. /kloc-0 ran aground at the end of 943 and was destroyed by a British torpedo boat the next day.

Germany also captured some other cruisers during World War II, including two heavy cruisers, two air defense cruisers, four light cruisers and the Italian navy's 1 armored cruisers. Several light cruisers of the French navy and two light cruisers of the Dutch navy (Germany plans to call them "training cruisers KH 1 2"). These cruisers are similar to captured battleships and have never served in the German army.

(3) Aircraft carrier: 2 Zeppelin class ships, with the first ship Zeppelin, 85% completed and equipped with artillery. Self-sinking in 45 years, the Soviet Union salvaged Leningrad after the war and sank it as a target ship. Another unnamed ship broke up at the slipway after 60% completion. Cedritz, the original heavy cruiser of the same name, has completed 95%.

The plan to convert the mail ship into an aircraft carrier, including three mail ships, the European, the Elbe and the Gonyei Sino, remains on paper, but it has not been implemented. However, Japan converted the same-class mail ship of Elbe River and Gnesino into an aircraft carrier.

(4) Auxiliary cruisers: The German navy modified 10 merchant ships as auxiliary cruisers in World War II, and they sank more than 100 allied merchant ships. It also includes the Australian cruiser Sydney and 1 British large auxiliary cruiser. 1943 Italy surrendered, and the Germans captured the former Italian navy's 10 auxiliary cruiser, but the outcome was unknown.

Part II: Medium-sized Combat Ship.

(1) destroyer:

The German Navy put 42 destroyers into service in World War II, including: 22 Z-class destroyers; Improved Z-class 18 ship; ZH1captured from the Netherlands; Captured from ZG3, Greece.

There are as many as 68 destroyers in Germany's Z plan, but the number given by various plans put forward one after another in World War II is only Z56. Some destroyers in Germany were nearly completed at the end of World War II, such as Z44, Z45, Z5 1 and ZN4, but they were not completed due to the shortage of parts or air strikes and guerrilla sabotage.

Germany captured many destroyers, except ZH 1 and ZG3, as well as ZH 2-3 in the Netherlands, trolls and Zn4-5 in Norway, ZF2, 4 and 7 in France and many Italian destroyers. Among them, Norwegian trolls and some Italian destroyers also served in the German army, but as "torpedo boats" rather than "destroyers".

(2) torpedo boats (lightning ships): 1923 class 6 ships; 6 ships of class 1924; 9 ships of class 1935; 1937 class 12 ships; 1939 class fleet torpedo boat15; There are 4 ships of T 107 class (German torpedo boats remaining after World War I, with a displacement of 700T), 5 ships of T 152 class (ditto) and T 196 class (ditto, with a displacement of 500t). Four 700t, two 200t and 12100t torpedo boats seized from Norway; The torpedo recovery ship TFA9 captured from the Netherlands captured six torpedo boats of 200-300 tons from Denmark; Captured three 900-ton torpedo boats from France; 33 torpedo boats (including 8 former destroyers) seized from the Italian navy.
