The escort aircraft carrier is built according to the merchant ship model. The standard is low. At the same time, it also determines that the cost is low and can be built quickly. On the other hand, because the displacement is small, it is impossible to place a large number of weapons like attacking the aircraft carrier. Moreover, the weapons are mainly provided by the escort warships. As an aircraft carrier, it is the right way to operate the carrier aircraft.

Therefore, the Manila Bay now has only a few 127 mm naval guns and some 20 mm air defense guns. It does not have any anti submarine weapons. If it wants to deal with underwater submarines, it can only rely on its shipborne aircraft.

Clear the deck and eject your carrier plane! As an aircraft carrier, the most powerful is the carrier based aircraft. Although it is an escort aircraft carrier, it does not lose the wind at all on the carrier based aircraft, which is the same as that of the main warship.

The side lift was rising slowly. At this time, the sailors on the Manila Bay had the greatest potential and completed the preparation for attack in such a short time.

Pilot oaks sits in his cockpit. He knows how arduous his task is. He must expel the terrible submarine!

SBD intrepid dive bomber is not as famous as Stuka, but it is already the main bomber of the U.S. Navy. At this time, the belly is full of bombs. As long as you find the trace of the other party's submarine, oaks will drop the bomb impolitely!

Soon, the bomber was lifted up. With the help of several ground crew, the bomber stopped at the tail of the deck and was ready to take off.

The German Navy's aircraft carrier has begun to be equipped with a large number of steam catapults, which greatly improves the efficiency of the aircraft dispatched by the aircraft carrier, but the American aircraft carrier does not have such a device and can only rely on the power of the aircraft itself.

In the Arctic, this is an advantage, and there is no need to worry about steam freezing.

Take off on your own power!

At this time, the wind has gradually increased. The operators on the deck feel the biting cold wind and look at their own bomber.

Start!

Black smoke came out of the nozzle of the engine. It vibrated a few times and didn't move. It didn't succeed!

The second time!

Oaks felt the roar of the engine in front and looked forward to the engine running effectively. However, after the black smoke came out, the engine still didn't start!

How did this happen?

The U.S. Navy lacks experience in operating aircraft in cold areas. At this time, in the face of this aircraft that can't start, they immediately scold their mother in their hearts. God, bless the U.S. Navy!

At this time, on the sea surface they did not notice, the top of a small periscope had stretched out and was looking at them.

Otto can see clearly.

In the first round of shooting, four torpedoes hit the target and killed two cargo ships and two aircraft carriers, but one aircraft carrier survived. This hit rate has satisfied Otto.

It was intended to attack the three aircraft carriers, but it was an unexpected harvest that two cargo ships were injured by mistake.

We must seize the opportunity today. After today's battle, the Americans will certainly send more escort forces.

Even if there are several 1000 ton frigates in their formation, they can drive up and throw deep-water bombs in the sea. If so, they really have to dive down to avoid the attack of their deep-water bombs.

However, they did not. This is not their negligence, but it should have been very safe here. Unfortunately, their assumption will completely ruin the fleet!

In the periscope, he looked at the only escorting aircraft carrier, lost a whole deck of aircraft, and then quickly carried out the operation of carrier aircraft. He also admired the other party's aircraft carrier commander. At this time, it was a miracle that he could make the only correct command, and the other party's commander did have a few skills.

Unfortunately, God doesn't bless him. His carrier plane can't start!

The sea was absolutely frozen. Just a few hours ago, each of them went up and put the wind for two minutes. When they came back, their bones were frozen and crisp.

It's still summer. If it's winter, you can imagine that it's incomparably cold.

The American carrier plane can't start successfully. Just look at the black smoke on the deck.

"The torpedo has been reloaded. Two oxygen torpedoes and four electric torpedoes." A report came from the torpedo cabin.

"Right rudder one, launch tube 1, ready to launch the oxygen torpedo. Launch tube 3, ready to launch an electric torpedo. " Otto said.

Just a sneak attack, electric torpedoes are enough. Now, the other party has been prepared. If you want to kill the third aircraft carrier, you'd better use oxygen torpedoes. This precious torpedo is the favorite of every submarine captain.

At the same time, Otto's tactics are more effective. It is necessary to use two against aircraft carriers.

"Bang, bang!" When the torpedo came out of the water, the high-pressure air pushed the torpedo out and made a dull sound, which soon spread to the other party's sonar.

"God, the other party fired a torpedo again!" Cried the sonar soldier.

In the first round of attack, the sonar soldiers were not in place at all, and their sonar was not turned on. Now, after hastily turning on the sonar, the sonar soldiers found that they could not hear any underwater sound at all. The other party's submarines seemed like ghosts in the water. He didn't even know how many of the other party's submarines were.

But now, he heard the sound of the other party launching torpedoes, which means that a new round of attack is about to begin!

"Come on, all those who have no mission, go to the deck and observe!" Ralph said.

How to avoid each other's submarines, you must first find it! Now, they can only look visually. If the opponent uses a thermal torpedo, bubbles will be left on the sea. If it is an electric torpedo, there will be nothing.

Anyway, it's better than waiting to die.

A famous sailor came out from various positions and ran to the side to observe. At this time, a roar finally came!

The bomber was launched!

Oaks slowly pushed the throttle lever to let the engine warm up first, and then reached the maximum power state. His plane had an impulse to keep moving forward and wanted to take off.

"Clear the deck. I'm taking off." Cried oaks. On the deck, why are there irrelevant people?

"Come on, get out of the runway!" The deck man shouted, and the irrelevant sailors quickly got out of the way of the runway.

Releasing the brakes, the bomber began to accelerate on the deck. The limited deck length made it have to do its best to take off.

Just then, a sharp eyed sailor squatted on the side of the deck. He had seen the bubbles emerging from the water coming at a terrible speed, which simply subverted his understanding.

"90 degrees starboard, torpedo found!" He shouted.
