Chapter 1462 Two ships collide

The Canglong is the first medium-sized aircraft carrier designed and manufactured by the island navy. When it was designed, it was to carry more carrier-based aircraft and gave up the use of heavy artillery, which is a pity that it is top-heavy.

Its No. 2 ship is the Flying Dragon, and of course it is not the No. 2 ship in the complete sense. It has been improved and its displacement has increased by 2,000 tons. At the same time, the most interesting thing is that its bridge is unique and is actually located on the port side.

This is a rather nonsense design. The aircraft carrier bridges in later generations are all on the right, which is based on theoretical basis.

Once a pilot encounters trouble during landing, he often turns left for some reasons. The port island superstructure causes much more landing accidents than starboard. At the same time, in the era of propeller aircraft, the aircraft is often easily deviated to the left due to the impact of the propeller reaction force, so it is safer to set the ship island on starboard.

The reason why the islanders designed this way is quite ridiculous. According to the logic in their minds, when the two sister ships are in parallel, the planes that are preparing to land on the left (Canglong) can hover to the left when they are sorting out their formation or returning to land. When the planes that are landing on the right (Flyinglong) can hover to the right, the planes of the two ships will not have air traffic conflicts.

So, the islanders did this. The navigation of these two sister ships actually violated the basic principles of aircraft carrier construction. Of course, in this era, there were no rules.

Now, the Canglong and the Feilong are sailing side by side. When they saw the bombs flying over their heads, they actually forgot the warship next to them and just wanted to avoid the bomb attack on their heads!

So, the Flying Dragon went left and the Canglong went right. The two warships quickly turned, and several bombs following behind fell into the sea water!

It was really good to see the splashes of water. When they turned around, they discovered the terrible situation.

"Oh, damn, hurry up, right rudder!"

"Quick, left rudder!"

The two aircraft carriers wanted to maneuver in the opposite direction. During the violent turn, the hulls of the two ships were tilted, and then a terrible and violent collision occurred.

"Bang!" The hull and the hull came into contact and converged, and Mars emerged from between the two hulls. The huge vibration shocked everyone in their hearts. The most terrifying thing about sailing on the sea formation was the collision, and now it happened!

Neither of the two ships had overturned, but the collision still had a terrible impact. A huge clearly visible crack had appeared on the hulls of the two ships!

Yes, the steel used by the island country to build ships only pursue yield and meet the hardness standards, but it becomes brittle. The collision just now actually broke the hull!

Since it was a collision on the upper part of the hull, it did not affect the lower layer. The watertight cabin was still intact and the ship was still floating. However, they had lost their combat effectiveness. Once they encountered harsh sea conditions, the warships were at risk of capsizing.

When he received the report, Tadaichi Naga on the Kaga post looked ugly.

The formation of four aircraft carriers lost two at once. Are the captains of these two aircraft carriers both stingy?

The Americans were in a fierce manner and dispatched a large number of bombers to bomb the island's aircraft carrier formation, but the casualties caused were not large.

The second round of bombs also only destroyed a destroyer. The American bombs looked terrible, but in fact they mainly caused chaos to their own side. In the chaos, they made mistakes and suffered huge losses!

Two aircraft carriers! More than 100 fighter jets can no longer be dispatched. Thinking of this, Tadakaichi Nagamoto felt extremely painful. If he lost two aircraft carriers, could he continue to move forward?

In history, Tadaichi Nagamo was a conservative person. In his eyes, preserving the main force of the army was the first priority, and defeating the enemy was the second. After all, the power at hand was the elite of the island country. Once it was lost, the island country could not afford it.

The American bombing successfully delayed Tadaichi Nagamo's fleet, while the American fleet was moving quickly without any hesitation.

Saratoga.

Fletcher stood on the bridge, watching the sunset slowly set, and the golden sunshine spread throughout the sea, looking magnificent beauty.

After receiving the news, they immediately went south at full speed, but the long distance was destined to be impossible for them to arrive today. They could only encounter the island's fleet during the day tomorrow.

A few hours ago, the Air Force bomber carried out a fearless bombing, but unfortunately, the effect was very poor. The last reconnaissance plane hidden in the clouds reported that the island navy had only injured two destroyers.

Although the island navy was found during the day, it was enough for the target to sail hundreds of nautical miles in one night. If the course was wrong, the target would not be found.

Where will the islanders hide? Will they launch a sneak attack on their side while they are driving?

No matter what, we will never give up. We must find the main force of the island country's navy to fight!

Fletcher clenched his fists and would never lose the battle that determines the fate of the US Navy!

The darkness enveloped the ocean, and the aircraft carrier formation was immersed in the darkness. When the dawn of the east arrives again, there will be a destined battle!

The other end of the distant earth, the wolf's den.

"The American bomber troops returned almost without success, but their reports have attracted our attention. It is very likely that the Americans have also begun to possess precise guidance weapons." Reinhardt said with the latest information.

The advantage cannot be maintained all the time. When Germany develops precise guidance weapons, it will give the enemy a way of thinking, and the other party will also find a way to solve the problem.

Cialek nodded: "Yes, Americans will definitely develop it, so we need to have corresponding measures. If Americans dare to attack us, the hit rate of this kind of bomb can only be zero."

The precise guidance of this era mainly relies on radio, but the current electromagnetic interference is really too easy. As long as a certain amount of interference devices are equipped, their weapons can be invalidated.

Historically, Americans also used German weapons like this.

"Compared with this new weapon that suddenly appeared, I care more about their battle. I wonder which side will win the naval battle?" Keitel said.
