Chapter 176
"Today we will know what his aircraft carrier is like. I hope it is not what I think."
The Prince of Wales, who has a fear of airplanes, trembled all over.
"There's no need to worry about that. Don't I know Saratoga well? Leave your air defense to me."
As a legendary aircraft carrier girl, she also believed that she would not be weaker than Saratoga.
Finally, after these five battleships sailed out, the door of the dock was closed.
"Dean, Miss Hood, let's talk as we walk, and wait for Lexington and the others to come and meet us."
Vian stood on the deck of Clemenceau
""Yes."
Although Hood and Elizabeth had many questions in their minds, they were prepared to slowly understand them during the exercise. They just kept looking at the warships following Elizabeth's ship.
Among them, the complicated ones were reputation and counterattack.
They had known Vian since they entered school, and they also knew about his affairs with Elizabeth.
So they were also the ones who witnessed Vian's changes every day.
The snow wind had already brought them a great shock before, and now there were a few more warships and stronger warships.
"Sister, do you think he has a chance?"
Standing next to the reputation, the counterattack eyes never left Clemenceau.
"It's very slim. After all, the difference between a legendary ship girl and an ordinary ship girl is very big. Although the performance of his battleship is very good, it is still a bit inferior compared to the many battle lines and battle cruisers we have."
The scattered ship girls on the sea looked at the fleet far away from the academy with only surprise in their eyes, not to mention the unique style of Viana's warships, which also let some admirals who had heard rumors about him know who it was.
Finally, they sailed Half an hour later, they finally saw Vian's aircraft carrier, a battleship that was impossible to ignore on the sea.
If Clemenceau was already a very huge battleship in their eyes, the Lexington sailed slowly. When they came over, they felt that they had underestimated Wei An.
While Lexington slowly followed the fleet, the three warships Kokang, Shimakaze, and Yukikaze had already begun to change their formations, giving up the center position of the fleet. At the same time, they pulled out a few hundred meters to the left and right of Lexington to protect her.
At the same time, Yixian increased her speed and sailed to the front of the entire fleet, including Clemenceau, Elizabeth, and Lexington. Being escorted.
Wei An did not direct the whole process, and it was done in one go.
If the giant battleship standing on the sea was enough to shock them, now Hood and the others finally understood what the core of the fleet was..
Even the battleship Clemenceau is currently sailing as if it is escorting Lexington in a completely different tactical position from other aircraft carriers.
"Agincourt, come on and pinch me."
This time it was the Prince of Wales's turn to stare at the Lexington's hull with a shocked expression, but Agincourt was in a similar situation to her.
It should be said that the ship girls in the E joint headquarters were speechless now.
Lexington The hull of the aircraft carrier is no longer the same as the aircraft carrier they are familiar with.
The others have a straight flight deck, and the Lexington's flight deck is even more different, but they are all legendary ships that have experienced strong winds and waves. She was shocked and quickly calmed down.
At the same time, Elizabeth quickly moved her battleship closer to Clemenceau.
"Lexington How much does she weigh now."
Hood couldn't wait to ask them what he was thinking.
"71,000 tons."
Hearing Wei An's calm answer, all the ship girls took a deep breath.
"But can she control such a large ship?"
Glorious, who is also an aircraft carrier, asked the question in her heart. Only as an aircraft carrier can she understand the direct problems caused by such a large Lexington.
The number of hangars in the Lexington is much larger than that of a normal aircraft carrier. If there are too many aircraft carriers, the computing requirements are also higher.
If the number of simultaneous flights cannot be increased, no matter how many aircraft are packed in the hangar, it will be useless.
"Isn't my talent just to help my shipgirl solve these problems? Wei
An answered with a smile.
At the same time, as an aircraft carrier girl, Guanghui asked a question she particularly wanted to know.
"How many carrier-based aircraft can be parked in the hangar of your aircraft carrier?"
"More than 180."
Weian looked at the expectant eyes of the other ship girls around him and said a number implicitly.
But even with such an answer, their pupils still dilated.
"180?"
Guanghui asked in disbelief. After all, as a 23,000-ton aircraft carrier, how big is her hangar? 57 aircraft.
But what does she hear now?
180 aircraft, which is more than three times the size of her hangar. Lexing The upper limit of Dun's combat power is more than one or two points higher than hers. If Saratoga can fully utilize the strength of its legendary ship, then the glory is the upper limit of the aircraft carrier's hangar that is dragged down by its own hull.
There are only 57 aircraft, and she has already reached the end of her growth when her training level reaches 82.
Subsequent increases in training level will not increase the number of carrier-based aircraft she can fly.
""Yes."
The Prince of Wales, who suffers from a fear of airplanes, can already feel himself sweating.
The memory fragment of the battleship is being attacked by air, fighter planes all over the sky, and surprise bombings by bombers.
She now feels that her anti-aircraft guns are not enough.
Not to mention her, even other battleships and battlecruisers have realized this problem.
When a ship girl who can dispatch 180 carrier-based aircraft at the same time appears, even if they can defend against some of the aircraft, what about the rest?
And what three or four ship girls could do before, Lexington can do it alone now.
Again, the more people there are, the easier it is to make mistakes in coordination.
Even if Lexington is half fighter and half bomber, there are still 90 of each type of carrier-based aircraft.
It is completely possible for fighters to contain and attack the enemy's aircraft carriers, and at the same time carry out air strikes and bombings.
Especially Nelson, Rodney, and Warspite have turned pale.
Nelson
Rodney
Although they have also modified their power systems, they are not as slow as before.
But the price is that they can't add some anti-aircraft guns like the Prince of Wales and their ship girls
"So, have you equipped her carrier-based aircraft?"
With his throat rolling, the Prince of Wales asked Wei An with a trembling tone.
"Thanks to Shropshire and Gaga for their support, most of the configuration has been completed."
Weian's words were like a death sentence, making the clenched fingers of the Prince of Wales turn white behind his back.
What she was most worried about had happened. This time the exercise might be bombed.
