As a night fighter, there is sufficient power supply on the aircraft and space for radar equipment. Now, it is completely possible to stuff it into the sea to search for radar.

Even in later generations, it is not easy to find an enemy aircraft carrier formation on the vast sea. Not to mention having reconnaissance satellites is enough. The scanning range of reconnaissance satellites is limited, and the sea is extremely vast. When the next reconnaissance satellite flew back again, the aircraft carrier formation had already started to move hundreds of kilometers away.

Therefore, carrier-based reconnaissance aircraft is very important, and in this era, its importance is self-evident.

The current German Navy has advanced FW190 fighter jets and HS129 attack aircraft. In the later stage, it will also be launched on the ship jets. Therefore, what is lacking now is reconnaissance aircraft.

Relying on visual inspection will be subject to various restrictions. The best solution is to use advanced electronic equipment to add eyes to the pilot.

"This kind of reconnaissance aircraft must continue to step up its research and development. After the performance meets the requirements of the naval, each aircraft carrier must be equipped with two to four aircraft." Cialek looked at the antenna protruding from the nose of the aircraft and expressed his affirmation: "At the same time, we must also develop radars with more advanced performance to be used on our land-based long-range maritime patrol aircraft."

The deck of the aircraft carrier is not very large, and it can only take off and land light aircraft. A large patrol aircraft can only take off from land. For example, using the Juncker-290 can be converted into a terrifying patrol aircraft. Such patrol aircraft has huge space and can carry more large radar equipment, which may meet the detection requirements of 100 kilometers.

Preparing for the future, Cyric relied on the huge military knowledge of his later generations to achieve the advantage of foresight in this era, but other countries did not have this advantage.

For example, the island countries and the US Navy are now entering the naval and air war.

The Coral Sea area is destined to be recorded in history.

With dawn approaching, both sides are making final preparations before departure, and the other side is near them. This battle will have a huge impact on their respective navies!

Ruihe aircraft carrier.

Captain Akira Sakamoto only slept for less than five hours. After coming back last night, he followed the battle meeting until midnight. Now, he took a cold shower and felt much more awake. At this time, he was sitting in the restaurant, holding his favorite rice cake in his hand.

When eating, no one made a sound. Everyone knew that today was a battle that determined his destiny.

At this time, both sides did not know that the distance between them had reached two hundred nautical miles. For the aircraft carrier, the distance was quite close. As long as you discover it, you could fly over in an hour!

American pilots are also eating their own breakfast on the aircraft carrier at this time. Unlike the islanders, they can eat their favorite chocolate.

Just as they were having a meal, the first batch of reconnaissance planes had been sent out. In the light of the aircraft carrier, the reconnaissance planes whizzed from the deck and entered the darkness.

Time passes a little by little.

At 8:15, York City.

"General, we have received a report from the reconnaissance plane, the enemy's aircraft carrier task force traveled southward at a speed of twenty-five nautical miles per hour on the sea about one hundred and seventy-five miles northeast of my land."

"Release the attack aircraft group immediately, hurry, hurry!" Rear Admiral Fletcher shouted loudly: "Speed ​​at full speed, go against the wind, release the carrier-based aircraft!"

Two US aircraft carriers accelerated their way forward and released their carrier-based aircraft against the wind. Almost as soon as the first aircraft took off, the radio monitors on the aircraft carrier received radio signals from the island country.

"We were also discovered by the island country." Fletcher received the news.

It can be imagined that in an hour, when your plane rushes to the enemy aircraft carrier formation, your plane will also usher in an enemy attack!

Such a battle suddenly makes people feel a little expectant.

Two US aircraft carriers took off 15 fighter jets, 46 bombers and 21 torpedo aircraft, a total of 82 aircraft rushed towards the island fleet. At the same time, the island aircraft carriers on the opposite side took off 103 aircraft and flew towards the US formation!

The sun gradually rose from the east, shining the entire sea in red, as if it was heralding that today's battle would definitely end in blood red!

Just after taking off its own carrier-based aircraft, the US aircraft carrier formation changed its course and continued to sail at the highest speed. At the same time, the search radar on the aircraft carrier was activated at full power, searching the sky.

Each aircraft carrier has two heavy cruisers and destroyers escorted, and each anti-aircraft gun is stuffed into shells, waiting for the last moment to arrive.

"Discover the enemy aircraft group, seventy kilometers away from us." Finally, the radar on the York City discovered the target flying in the sky.

"Take off the fighter planes immediately to intercept!" Fletcher continued to issue an order.

In the past sea battles, the battleships of both sides were approaching each other, lined up and pouring fire towards each other. It was extremely spectacular. You could see that the opponent's warship was hit by him, the fire was ignited, and it looked like it was sunk.

However, this naval battle subverted the previous naval battle style. The naval fleets of both sides could not see each other at all. They all rely on their own carrier-based aircraft to attack and defend!

After receiving the order to attack, the carrier-based aircraft on the two aircraft carriers were immediately dragged to the takeoff position and quickly took off one by one.

Captain Edward H-Oher, sitting in his wildcat fighter, this fighter that was finalized for 40 years was the latest model of the US Navy. The 1,200-horsepower engine emitted a huge roar. The seemingly stubborn aircraft slid on the deck, left the deck, and quickly climbed up.

In this era, the myth of invincible Zero War has not been broken for the time being. However, the US Navy carrier-based aircraft pilots will never be afraid of danger. They must protect their aircraft carriers!

Just as they climbed to a height of 3,000 meters, they could already see the opponent's attack formation. The huge fleet of aircraft was several times that of their interceptors!

Seeing the US intercepting fighter jets, the Zero fighter jets quickly left their positions and rushed towards the US planes. They wanted to entangle the US fighter jets and give their bombers enough opportunities!

Captain Akira Sakamoto's eyes were shining. He didn't catch the target with his two attacks yesterday, but today, the Americans would definitely not be able to escape!
Chapter completed!
