"Whoo! Whoo! Whoo!"
One after another carrier-based aircraft took off from the aircraft carriers of the US Navy and the British Navy. In this time and space, after the United Kingdom retreated to Canada, its military technology was highly shared with the United States. Therefore, in terms of carrier-based aircraft, the two countries are exactly the same. After the Azores naval battle, the carrier-based fighters of the two navies were reced by F4U fighters.
The nine "Essex-ss" aircraft carriers undoubtedly carry the most carrier-based aircraft. Among the first wave of carrier-based aircraft to take off, each "Essex-ss" aircraft carrier took off 18 F4U fighter jets, 18 SBD2 dive bombers and 9 TBD torpedo attack aircraft. As for the four "Independence-ss" light aircraft carriers, each of them only carried 24 F4U fighter jets and 9 TBD torpedo attack aircraft. In this operation, these "Independence-ss" light aircraft carriers only took off nine TBD torpedo attack aircraft. As for the fighter jets it carried, all remained, and they will be the main force of the fleet''s air defense.
Admiral Ernest Jin will divide the next attack into two rounds and take off all the carrier-based aircraft of the nine Essex-ss aircraft carriers. Then, for the next fleet air defense, we can only rely on the F4U fighter jets on the four "Independence-ss" aircraft carriers for air defense.
While the aircraft carriers of the U.S. Navy are continuously taking off carrier-based aircraft, the eight medium-sized aircraft carriers of the British Navy are also taking off carrier-based aircraft. They will also participate in this attack.
The eight medium-sized aircraft carriers of the British Navy are three "Glory-ss" aircraft carriers, each carrying 48 carrier-based aircraft. One "Ark Royal ss" aircraft carrier and four "Distinguished ss" aircraft carriers, each carrying 54 carrier-based aircraft. In this attack, the eight medium-sized aircraft carriers of the British Navy were able tounch a total of 69 F4U fighter jets, 69 SBD2 dive bombers and 69 TBD torpedo attack aircraft.
An hourter, they were still able to take off so many carrier-based aircraft tounch an attack in the second wave of attacks.
The aircraft carriers of the U.S. Navy and the British Navy took off huge carrier-based aircraft, formed a huge fleet, and flew to the location of the German Navy''s home fleet more than 400 kilometers away.
The entire fleet includes 231 F4U fighters, 231 SBD2 dive bombers and 186 TBD torpedo attack aircraft. The number of carrier-based aircraft has reached 648. This is undoubtedly a very powerful force. Once an attack isunched against the German Navy''s home fleet, it is enough to submerge the German Navy''s home fleet.
What''s more, the second wave of aircraft will depart in an hour. Compared with the fleet of the first wave, the fleet of the second wave only has 36 fewer TBD torpedo attack aircraft, and the total number of carrier-based aircraft in the entire fleet can still reach 612. If two waves of carrier-based aircraftunch an attack on the German Navy''s home fleet, it will be enough to tear all the warships of the German Navy''s home fleet to pieces.
Watching the huge fleet of carrier-based aircraft fly away from the sky above the fleet, Admiral Ernest King nodded in satisfaction.
"This time, the Germans will definitely not be able to escape. As long as we can get rid of them, then we will win this battle." Admiral Ernest King looked confident.
"Yes, General. After an hour, the second wave of aircraft will be able to take off. With two waves, there are more than 1,200 carrier-based aircraft. It ispletely enough to submerge the German Navy!" Haspen? Admiral Kimmel said.
"Let our air search radar be alert. Prevent the Germans from jumping over the wall. The fighter jets of the four ''Independence-ss'' light aircraft carriers are all ready. Once the German fleet is found, they will immediately take off Meet the enemy!" Admiral Ernest King said.
"Yes, General." The staff officer immediately went to give the order.
Aboard the HMS Ark Royal, the gship of the British fleet, Admiral John Tovey and Admiral Andrew Cunningham were also talking.
"Our submarine is probably in danger. The Germans will definitely find them." Admiral John Tovey said.
Admiral Andrew Cunningham nodded: "The Germans can easily monitor their telegrams. With the Germans'' strong anti-submarine capabilities, unless there is a miracle. Otherwise, the submarine will be dead. "
"However, their sacrifices are valuable. We can seize this opportunity and kill the German home fleet in one fell swoop, thus gaining a decisive advantage in this naval battle. Using a submarine to win us such Undoubtedly, it is very worthwhile." Admiral Andrew Cunningham continued.
Indeed, if it weren''t for this British submarine, it would be very difficult for the US and British fleets to find traces of the German Navy''s home fleet. Even, it is very likely that it will be slipped away by the German Navy''s home fleet. Once the home fleet of the German Navy merges with the other two fleets, the US and British fleets may never have a chance.
"Yes, they are the heroes of the Royal Navy. Even though we lost our homnd, we still continued to fight. It is because of this that we have a chance to defeat the Germans in one fell swoop and retake our homnd!" John? Admiral Tovey said.
If the U.S. and British navies can defeat the German navy in one fell swoop in this naval battle and win. Then, they may really have a chance to go to the east of the Antic Ocean and take back the British maind in one fell swoop. However, this naval battle has only just begun. It is too early to conclude that they can win.
"General Cunningham, can we get rid of the German home fleet this time?" Admiral John Tovey asked.
Admiral Andrew Cunningham hesitated for a while, and then said: "It may be difficult topletely wipe out the German Navy''s home fleet. However, if it is to severely damage the German Navy''s home fleet, there should be no problem. We The number of carrier-based aircraft dispatched in the first batch was more than 600. If the two batches add up, it will exceed 1,200. Even, if necessary, a third wave or even It is the fourth wave of attack. This kind of power is enough to submerge the German Navy''s home fleet. It is true that the performance of the German Navy''s carrier-based aircraft is more advanced and the quality of the pilots is higher. However, we have a decisive advantage in terms of numbers. Moreover, we are the first to attack. This will give us a greater advantage. I really can''t think of any way for the German Navy to escape this disaster. It can be said that we have already won this time!"
