s: The third update, please vote for support At 9:30 on February 25, the sea west of Crete.
Six regular aircraft carriers and five temporary aircraft carriers are sailing against the wind, and the back half of their decks are full of aircraft.
When the aircraft carriers reached their maximum speed, the control tower raised the signal flag for aircraft attack.
On the deck of the flagship of the aircraft carrier formation "Han Dynasty", the fighters were divided into three parts according to different weights.
The first few rows were the fighters with the lightest load, followed by the dive attack aircraft carrying 500 kilograms of aerial bombs, and finally the fighters with the heaviest payload.
Heavy aviation torpedo for a torpedo bomber.
At this time, the propellers of the fighter planes were slowly turning.
They had finished warming up and were just waiting to take off.
When the signal light on the control tower switched from yellow to green, two takeoff command assistants wearing yellow vests squatted on the deck at the same time, kneeling on one knee, pointing their right swords at the front of the flight deck, and made the famous gesture that became popular in later generations.
"Carrier stye" action.
The pilot of the first J-5 "Jaguar" fighter increased the accelerator to the maximum, tightened the brakes, and when the propeller speed reached the highest speed, he released the brakes.
The fighter began to drive slowly under the power of the 1,000-kilowatt engine for ten seconds.
Finally, its speed reached its maximum, and at this time, only the last 20 meters of the flight deck were left.
At this time, the aircraft immediately opened the flaps and adjusted the lift to the maximum state.
When it left the deck, it sank obviously, as if it had fallen, and disappeared from the sight of the ground crew.
But a few seconds later, it reappeared in people's sight and began to climb upwards.
Subsequently, the fighter planes on the deck took off one after another.
Soaring into the sky amid the cheers of the ground crew.
When China's aircraft carrier-based aircraft have all taken off and been organized, the British and French aircraft carrier-based aircraft have only taken off more than half of the time.
There is nothing that can be done about this.
They are all temporary aircraft carriers transformed from high-speed merchant ships.
The speed of releasing fighter jets cannot be compared with regular aircraft carriers.
Moreover, their aircraft carrier tactics are still very rudimentary and they have not conducted "full-deck attack" training.
The efficiency is certainly not as good as that of its Chinese counterparts.
Chu Wangyuan, the commander-in-chief of Hainan Airlines, is sitting on a Qiang-2 "Tern" dive attack aircraft.
This aircraft is used as a command aircraft, so it does not carry bombs like its counterparts.
Instead, a high-power radio is added to the rear of the fuselage. .
He looked around and found that the British and French planes were still forming, and it would take at least half an hour to complete.
"Forget it, don't wait for them, let them be the second wave."
Chu Wangyuan frowned.
He didn't want to wait for the British and French planes anymore, so he ordered the Chinese fleet to take the first step.
On the bridge of the British temporary aircraft carrier HMS Courier, aviation commander Lieutenant Colonel Andrew Brown Cunningham stared with envy at the Chinese aircraft carrier not far away.
"Hey, China's aircraft carrier is awesome."
Cunningham became more and more happy as he looked at it.
Then he looked at his ship, which was modified from a high-speed cruise ship, and felt that it was indescribably disgusting.
"There is no way.
This new type of warship, the aircraft carrier, is the first of its kind in China.
It is normal for them to be at the forefront of the world."
Captain Smith shrugged and said disapprovingly.
At this time, a staff officer said next to him: "Haha, I heard that aircraft carriers were developed by China in order to deal with Japan's numerous battleships.
The Chinese navy at that time was very weak, and the largest warships were cruisers, which could not compete with them.
Japan’s battleships competed with China’s air force, which was number one in the world, so they wanted to move their aircraft to sea, so they invented something like the aircraft carrier.”
This statement about why China invented the aircraft carrier is very popular in the world and is recognized by the vast majority of people.
Even many officers and soldiers of the Chinese Navy believe this statement.
Wen Desi and a few other insiders also laughed it off after learning about this statement.

Cunningham nodded and said: "But I have to say that China has achieved its goal.
Judging from previous battles, the role of new ships like aircraft carriers is indeed considerable.
I think they really have the potential to replace battleships. .
It is a pity that our British Empire does not pay attention to aircraft carriers, and there are not many decent aircraft carriers now."
Of course, Britain still has several regular aircraft carriers, but they are all used to protect the homeland.
Only three temporary aircraft carriers were sent to the Mediterranean to supplement the number.
The UK has only five regular aircraft carriers currently in service, three Valiant-class aircraft carriers and two Centaur-class aircraft carriers.
Among them, the Brave class was modified from a large light cruiser, which is the famous Hush cruiser.
It is a "light cruiser" equipped with a 15-inch main gun.
It was the brainchild of Fisher, the then British First Sea Lord.
Later, it turned out that this extremely specialized performance thing was useless.
When their supporter, Father Fisher, stepped down due to two disastrous defeats in Jutland and Corsica and went home to retire, these three Hush cruisers with embarrassing performance were refitted by the British Navy. turned into three aircraft carriers.
There are currently only two hundred-eyed giant-class aircraft carriers in the UK.
However, both the Brave-class and the Centaur-class are light aircraft carriers with a displacement of more than 10,000 tons.
In addition, in order to adapt to the high sea conditions of the North Atlantic, they had to adopt a closed hangar design, resulting in a very small aircraft carrying capacity.
It is completely incomparable with China's professional aircraft carriers.
In fact, although the "Messenger" is a temporary aircraft carrier, its tonnage is really not small, larger than China's Han Dynasty class.
The predecessor of the "Messenger" was a high-speed cruise ship completed in 1913.
After being converted into an aircraft carrier, its standard displacement was as high as 47,000 tons and its top speed reached 28 knots.
Although China's largest aircraft carrier, the Han Dynasty-class, is a regular aircraft carrier, its standard displacement is only 33,000 tons, which is obviously smaller.
China has a total of nine aircraft carriers of three levels in active service.
The original Yu Chao was a test aircraft carrier.
It has now been relegated to the second line and is used as a training and research ship.
It no longer participates in front-line operations.
The real first-class regular aircraft carrier is the Xia Dynasty class.
There are currently four Xia, Shang, Zhou, and Qin aircraft carriers.
This type of aircraft carrier with a standard displacement of 25,600 tons is roughly similar in size and performance to Japan's Shokaku-class aircraft carrier in the original time and space, with a maximum speed of 32 Festival, carrying 86 aircraft.
The second-generation Han Dynasty class is actually an enlarged and modified version of the original American Essex class.
It has a standard displacement of 33,200 tons, a maximum speed of 32 knots, and a carrying capacity of up to 115 aircraft.
Of course, they are both angled decks, which are much easier to use than the originals.
A total of six ships of the Han Dynasty class were built.
The Han Dynasty and the Jin Dynasty were both in the Mediterranean at this time.
The Sui Dynasty and the Tang Dynasty had just been completed and were still training and running in at home.
They did not come this time.
The No. 5 ship Song Chao and the No. 6 ship Ming Chao are still being outfitted.
Of course, the Han Dynasty class is not China's latest aircraft carrier, the six Liaoning class currently under construction are.
Yes, for the Liaoning-class aircraft carrier, after the dynasty names were exhausted, they began to use the names of provincial administrative regions.
Because the first ship of the Liaoning class was built at the Dalian Shipyard, this class of aircraft carrier was named the "Liaoning class" by President Wen.
I am afraid that it will not be able to keep up with the world war this time.
When the aircraft carrier formation released the attack aircraft group, the battleships of both sides had already begun to exchange fire.
The Italian-Austrian fleet had been suppressed by Allied fighter planes because of reconnaissance planes.
They did not know the layout of the Allied fleet.
When they rushed over in a horizontal formation, they discovered that the Allied fleet was also lined up in a horizontal formation to block the front.
The Allied fleet is different.
They have the advantage of aerial reconnaissance.

There are more than a dozen aircraft over the Italian and Austrian fleet monitoring their every move at any time.
After discovering that the Austro-Hungarian fleet was attacking in a horizontal formation, Gao Yujie immediately ordered the entire fleet to turn left.
So all 34 battleships turned left, their bows pointed north, and exposed their starboard side to face the oncoming Italian-Austrian fleet.
For the Italian-Austrian fleet, the route home from the north of the strait is undoubtedly the shortest, so it is guarded by the strongest Chinese battleships, then the French fleet, and the British fleet in the south.
The battle line of the Allied Powers from north to south consists of twelve super-dreadnoughts of the Chinese Navy, four Sun Wu-class super-dreadnoughts in the First Battleship Column, and eight Fuxi-class super-dreadnoughts in the Second Battleship Column.
France's seven battleships are in the middle, including two Lombard-class dreadnoughts, three Liberty-class pre-dreadnoughts, and two Republic-class pre-dreadnoughts.
Britain's fifteenth-class dreadnoughts were deployed on the southern flank of the battle line in sequence, including two Lord Nelson-class ships, five Edward VII-class ships, three Duncan-class ships, and five Formidable class ships.
The Allies' capital ship arrangement is reversed, with armored cruisers and pre-dreadnoughts in the north, and super-dreadnoughts and dreadnoughts in the south.
From north to south are three Garibaldi-class ships and three Marias.
Empress Theresia class, two Pisa class and two San Giorgio class, a total of ten armored cruisers.
Then there are the pre-dreadnoughts, followed by three Queen Elena-class ships, Queen Margaret, and three Radetzky-class ships, for a total of seven pre-dreadnought ships.
Next are three Count of Cavour-class and four United Forces-class dreadnoughts.
The southernmost is their strongest force of four super-dreadnoughts, two Andrea Doria-class and two Queen Elizabeth-class.
In other words, both sides intentionally or unintentionally formed a situation of strong versus weak and weak versus strong.
For the Allied fleet, this situation is of course very good.
The opponent's strongest warship is the farthest away from the home base and needs to take more detours.
And the most powerful Chinese Sun Wu-class battleships can have enough time to stop them.
Due to the shortage of battleships, the Allied fleet also brought up armored cruisers to make up the number.
However, the Allied forces' armored cruisers and heavy cruisers were not on the front line.
They were all on standby on the wings and rear of the battle line.
As luck would have it, these unlucky armored cruisers were facing super-dreadnoughts.
In front of the powerful Sun Wu class, they were obviously going to lose their lives.
Of course, with this kind of "Tian Ji Horse Racing" front arrangement, there will also be an unfavorable situation between the weak and the strong on the Allied side, but that is a matter for the British.
Besides, they were still pre-dreadnoughts, so they could still hold on for a while.
The first ones to fire were the two Queen Elisabeth-class battleships in the Italian-Austrian fleet.
This battleship was extremely powerful and was unprecedented in the history of time and space.
Although it was a shrunken Bavarian class, it was also the most powerful battleship in the Mediterranean.
This super-dreadnought ship equipped with nine 390mm main guns, a 360mm main armor belt, and a maximum speed of 22 knots can be said to be one of the masterpieces with excellent offensive and defensive capabilities.
The two Austro-Hungarian super-dreadnoughts were lucky.
They faced the weak link in the Allied fleet, the pre-dreadnought formation on the southern flank of the battle line, and the target they faced was the most fragile of the pre-dreadnoughts.
Duncan class pre-dreadnought ship.
The Duncan class is a late-stage pre-dreadnought ship completed between 1903 and 1904 at the beginning of this century.
It is the product of the so-called "double strength standard".
The "double strength standard" is to ensure that under any circumstances, the number of warships of the Royal Navy must exceed the sum of any two foreign navies, or at least remain equal.
The second and third largest navies in the world are the French-Russian alliance, a pair of good friends.
After receiving information that France and Russia were building high-speed warships, the British designed the Duncan class based on the Formidable class.
In order to catch up with the known fast French and Russian warships, the Duncan class's speed was 1 knot faster than the previously built battleships, and its displacement was reduced by about a thousand tons.
However, this was achieved at the expense of armor in exchange for high speed.
Its main side armor was cut from 228 mm to 178 mm at the Formidable level.
What will happen if such thin-skinned dumplings face off against a super-dreadnought?
The Italian-Austrian fleet was intercepted by China's Hainan Airlines due to aerial reconnaissance, and did not know the Allied array situation in advance.
The fact that they could just choose this position can only be explained by luck.
The most terrible thing is that the Austro-Hungarian Navy seems to be very lucky today.
The first test launch of the United Empire led to a huge explosion of character.
"Boom" The Esmouth suddenly shook, and a large orange-red fireball appeared on the rear deck.

Then there was an earth-shattering explosion.
The entire rear main turret flew up, and then the 13,600-ton Esmouth The former dreadnought was broken into two pieces in the violent explosion.
A 390mm shell test-fired by the United Empire miraculously hit the target.
The 880-kilogram armor-piercing shell fell at a large angle, hit the deck near the rear main gun, and then penetrated the Ai without any suspense.
The Smouth's pitiful 63mm deck armor continued to penetrate the ammunition magazine and then exploded inside.
"Damn, it's at least 26 kilometers, one shot will kill it in seconds."
The pilots of the calibration aircraft above the fleet, regardless of whether they were friends or foes, were all stunned by this character bomb.
"Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom!"
The twelve super-dreadnoughts of the Chinese Navy immediately responded.
Their target was a bunch of armored patrols and forward-dreadnoughts on the opposite side.
According to Gao Yujie's plan, they would attack with thunderous force. , defeat the opponent on the opposite side.
Then, with a speed far exceeding that of the Italian-Austrian battleship, he quickly circled behind them and exploded.
This is Commander Gao's "hammer tactics", with the powerful Chinese fleet as the "hammer" and the British and French fleets as the "anvil".
Of course, before that, the British "anvils" need to be more careful.
Well, this plan was improvised by Commander Gao after he discovered the position of the enemy ships from aerial reconnaissance.
As for forgetting to inform the British, well, that's not a big deal.
The British Empire is the most powerful naval power, so I believe they can still accomplish this
