旗艦丹陽
台湾海軍旗艦の丹陽です。日本時代のスペックと比べると、やや太ったり(?)速力が落ちたりしますが、就役15年後の1954年にまだ29ノットの極速が出るらしいです。健気な頑張り屋さんですね。
【説明文を前の投稿からここに移しますね↓】
まだ日本軍の武装を持ってて、改になる前(1956年以前)の丹陽です。12.7㌢高角砲は高雄寿山の砲台から、長10㌢高角砲は左営軍港あたりの砲台から流用したものとされてます。手慣れた武器で彼女にとって使いやすいかもしれません。22号電探が外され、代わりにAN/SPS-10レーダーを装備したらしいです。自家(左営)製の一番砲塔(左腰)のユニークな形がとても魅力的です。この時の塗装はアメリカ式で甲板部分がダークグレイで塗りつぶされました(ソックスで表現)。なお水線上は青と黒線の塗装が施されました(数字12の下あたり)。他のカラーリングは "illust/45333631":[/posts?tags=status:any+pixiv:45333631] の信陽に準じてます。
Flagship Tan Yang
This is Tan Yang, the flagship of the Taiwanese navy. In comparison to its specs as a Japanese ship, she's grown a bit fatter(?) and her speed has dropped, but reports state that even in 1954, 15 years after her commissioning, she could still sail at a blazing-fast 29 knots. Quite an admirable stalwart, isn't she?
[Explanation copied from the previous upload↓]
This is Tan Yang before her kai form (before 1956), when she was still equipped with Japanese armaments. Her 12.7cm guns are determined to have come from emplacements on Shoushan in Kaohsiung, and her long 10cm guns came from emplacements in the Zuoying Naval Yard. Perhaps these familiar weapons were easier for her to use. It seems that her Type-22 Radar was removed, and replaced with the AN/SPS-10 Radar. Her first turret (at her waist) was made in my own hometown (Zuoying), and has a very charming, unique appearance. At this time, her deck was painted over in dark gray, in the American style (represented by her socks). Additionally, she was painted black and blue above her waterline (around her number 12). The rest of her coloring was taken from Xin Yang in "illust/45333631":[/posts?tags=status:any+pixiv:45333631]
