基礎被動語態

endured tragedies and enjoyed victories…

they went down in history due to the bravery of their crews…

它們因為勇敢的船員而在歷史上留名

they are the ships that deserve to be called

In this episode: Battleship Iowa: a Trump Card That Was Never Played

在這一集中: 戰鬥艦Iowa:  一張從未使用的王牌

In the 1930s, the whole world was crazy about two things: swing music and…

在1930年代，整個世界只為兩件事瘋狂:  爵士樂以及...

The passion that politicians and industrial moguls

showed to the latter had all the signs of gigantomania.

By finding legal loopholes in international arms control treaties and conventions,

在國際軍備控制條約和公約中尋找合法的漏洞

countries were constantly building new and unprecedented weapon systems,

許多國家都持續建造新型而且空前的

The global arms race involved the most advanced technologies

全球性的軍備競賽包含著當時最先進的科技

of the time and huge financial resources.

In order to compete with any of our potential enemies

enemies it was felt necessary to increase the size of our ships.

人們認為有必要建造更巨大的船艦

The prior ships had been less: the South Dakota-class

先前的船艦的重量都不到這個標準 South Dakota 級

A battleship is basically a floating artillery battery,

一艘戰鬥艦基本上就是一座浮在水面上的大砲

so her size directly depends on the size of her primary guns.

所以她的大小取決於她的主砲的大小

The 16-inch main batteries on battleship Iowa,

Everything about the ship design is structured around becoming…

所有艦上的設計都是圍繞著這三座砲塔

It's like small arms: there is a common misbelief that the pistol is designed first,

就像是小型武器: 常見的誤解像是，先設計手槍

No, the Defense Ministry always orders the cartridge.

這並不正確 國防部門永遠會先要求彈藥規格

The same for ships: the enemy has 15 inches  and 12 inches

船艦上也是一樣，敵人擁有 380 公釐以及 305 公釐的火砲

那我們就來製造 406 公釐的火砲吧

because we already have some of the technologies.

But let's not make it 40, but 50 calibers long. And they made a 16-inch gun.

但是我們不要做成 40 倍徑，而要是 50 倍徑 所以他們就做了 406 公釐的火砲

So the ship was built to carry this particular gun

船艦就是設計來裝備這樣特別的艦砲

Primary armament: Nine Mark 7 guns in three triple turrets

主武裝: 九門 Mark 7 分裝在三座三連裝砲塔中

20 Mark 12 guns in 10 coaxial Mark 28 turrets

20 門 Mark 12 砲分裝在 10 座 Mark 28 砲塔中

Anti-aircraft armament: 19 quadruple Bofors guns

防空武器: 19 座四連裝 Bofors 機砲

Air group: 3 Vought OS2U Kingfisher floatplanes

航空隊: 3 架 Vought OS2U Kingfisher水上機

During construction, Iowa's armor was declared

在建造的過程中，因為要混淆敵人

higher than it actually was, in order to mislead the enemy.

所以公佈的裝甲厚度高於實際厚度

Iowa has the most powerful power plant among battleships.

相較於其他戰鬥艦，Iowa 號有最強的動力系統

eight turbines produced by General Electric.

Eight boilers produced by Babcock & Wilcox

八座由 Babcock & Wilcox 製造的鍋爐

Cruising range: about 20,000 nautical miles at a speed of 15 knots

巡航距離: 於15節航行時 約 20,000 英哩

Battleship Iowa had a very unique hull design and the bull nose.

Iowa 號戰鬥艦有非常特殊的 船體和船艏設計

And you can also see that her lines were very tapered, almost aerodynamic.

您可以看到她的線條很優美 幾乎可以說是符合空氣力學的

…and that's all part and parcel of how they got

this 57,000-ton behemoth up to a speed of 33 knots.

讓這隻 57000 噸的巨獸以 33 節的高速飛奔

…which is very, very fast and almost…

you could say it's almost power boat speed,

你知道的 這對一艘軍艦來說很不尋常

This became an important advantage later on,

With a speed like that, Iowa could efficiently escort carrier task forces.

有著這樣的速度 Iowa 號可以很有效的保護航母戰鬥群

They put about 140 20-mm and 40-mm anti-aircraft guns on the ship,

他們在船上安裝了約 140 門 20mm 機砲和 40mm 防空機砲

and the carriers loved them because they were able to protect the carrier.

航空母艦非常喜歡它們 因為這些武器有能力保護航母

When Iowa was still under construction, the Americans realized

當 Iowa 號還在建造時，美國人發現

that she would play a secondary role in battles against the Japanese fleet.

她將成為對抗日本艦隊的第二主力

Aircraft carriers were becoming the main striking force of the navy.

航空母艦將是海軍主要的攻擊力量

But a giant like Iowa played a worthy role in the world war, too.

但是像 Iowa 號這樣的巨人 依然在戰爭中扮演著重要角色

The battleship Iowa was commissioned in early 1943.

Naval intelligence felt that the Tirpitz, the German battleship,

海軍情報機關認為德國戰鬥艦 Tirpitz 號

The battleship Iowa was sent on an early mission north to block the Tirpitz.

戰鬥艦 Iowa 號被送往北方，阻止 Tirpitz 號

Suppose battleships Iowa and Tirpitz met in battle.

假如戰鬥艦 Iowa 號與 Tirpitz 號相遇的話

Iowa had higher speed, greater maneuverability, and longer range of fire.

Iowa 號有著較高的航速 更好的機動和更遠的火砲射程

Tirpitz would be trying to get in close to Iowa,

Tirpitz 號需要找機會接近 Iowa 號

maneuvering and firing at Tirpitz from a great distance.

機動迴避，並且在遠距離上對 Tirpitz 號發動攻擊

Iowa would have definitely won this battle.

But the two naval heavyweight warriors never met,

只是兩個海上重量級武士從沒遭遇過

so we can only imagine how their duel would have ended.

因此我們只能想像她們的決鬥 會怎麼結束而已

Then, their second mission, on October 12, 1943, was to accompany,

接下來，她們的第二個任務 1943年10月12日，是個伴隨任務

or I should say, carry Franklin Roosevelt across the Atlantic to North Africa.

或是應該說 載著羅斯福越過大西洋，前往北非
