The Japanese Type 11 PT-15 patrol torpedo boat( War Thunder Navy Ships)

Описание: After the end of the Second World War and the capitulation of the Japanese Empire, the fleet from the Land of the Rising Sun, once the mightiest in the world, was far from fully destroyed. Soon after the war, most institutions and departments of the naval forces were transformed into the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force and for good reason. A maritime nation simply must defend its ocean territories. Today the Japanese military fleet is one of the largest in the world and continues the centuries-old traditions of Japan's sea warriors. Interestingly, only 15 torpedo boats were built in more than 20 years after the Maritime Self-Defense Force had been founded. After this, military doctrine changed and small ships were built for anti-submarine warfare instead.
The PT-15 has good navigability thanks to its effective body lines around the midship frame, which became a characteristic of Japanese post-war vessels. The boat's powertrain of two diesel and two gas turbine engines had an overall output of 11,000 hp and allowed the boat to reach the impressive speed of 40 knots (over 70 km/h). In contrast to early post-war torpedo boat series, the armament of the PT-15 is doubly strong – she has four torpedo tubes equipped with American Mk 16 torpedoes and two automatic 40mm Bofors L/60 cannons on the bow and stern. It also has a crew complement of 28.
