Although Britain still regards itself as an old capitalist country, it is already going downhill. For example, most of the warships of the British Navy were built during World War I.
The same is true of the current competitive God, an aircraft carrier ordered by the Royal Navy in 1917. For various reasons, it was not completed and put into service until 1923. In this way, the first specially designed aircraft carrier fell into the hands of Fengxiang.
Previous aircraft carriers were refitted with other warships, while this aircraft carrier is an aircraft carrier with a new design.
For example, it has an all-round flight deck; The closed bow has strong wave resistance; The bridge, mast and chimney are combined into a large ship Island, which is located on the starboard side of the ship body on the right side of the all-round flight deck. This is the first time that the aircraft carrier adopts the island superstructure design.
In particular, the design of this ship island has been handed down to later generations and has become a pioneer of various aircraft carriers. It is not only conducive to flight and navigation command, but also has higher strength than lateral chimney and collapsible chimney, and is beneficial to ship body sealing.
At that time, the number of aircraft carried by this 10000 ton aircraft carrier was 20. However, as the size of carrier aircraft increases, the number of carrier aircraft decreases to 16.
After its service, the competitive God was sent to the Far East and has been cruising in Southeast Asia and the China Sea. In this way, until now, after the air attack on Scarpa Bay, the competitive God was hurriedly transferred back to the Atlantic Ocean to shoulder the important task of revenge.
These days, the British navy has been searching for the whereabouts of the German Navy, but nothing has been found. Now, with the whereabouts of German warships, of course, they will not let go!
"Take off the carrier plane and launch an attack on the German warship immediately!" Tovi said to Onslow.
"Yes, we will carry out the attack mission immediately!" Onslow is confident.
This is the inside story of the Old Navy!
Generally speaking, naval carrier aircraft cannot be dispatched at night. For example, in future generations, even if Americans are swaggering around the world, less than 50% of their naval carrier aircraft pilots have the ability to fly at night.
Now, the British navy has to fight at night!
Their biggest dependence is precisely because of their backward shipborne aircraft, swordfish torpedo aircraft.
The take-off and landing on the aircraft carrier are very risky. The unstable deck and the possible crosswind at any time make the take-off and landing full of risks, especially the landing. Even if the deck lights are on, the deck is still a small place for flying aircraft.
The higher the takeoff and landing speed, the greater the risk of night operation.
In this way, swordfish is a perfect match, because swordfish is a biplane. One of the great advantages of biplane is low speed. Yes, here, low speed is an advantage, which makes its take-off and landing easier!
The British have done this more than once in history.
In Taranto, Britain successfully used swordfish for torpedo warfare at night. In the subsequent naval battle in the Indian Ocean, samorville also planned to sneak attack the Japanese fleet at night with big blue and white fish.
Biplane, that's so confident.
Now, the attack of the British navy has begun again!
All the deck lights are on, illuminating the flight deck. On the take-off line, a swordfish torpedo aircraft is ready. Under the belly of the aircraft, the six meter long torpedo is so conspicuous.
Pilot Ted, sitting in the open cabin, his back seat was empty and the machine gunner was cancelled.
At night, air combat is almost impossible, so the rear seat machine gunner is purely redundant, and an additional fuel tank is installed in the rear seat to carry more fuel.
Now, at 8:30 p.m., looking at the runway lights in front, Ted shouted on the radio, "swordfish, please take off."
"You can take off. Good luck." The sound of the bridge came from the headset.
Push the accelerator to the maximum, the 750 horsepower Bristol Centaur xxx9 cylinder air-cooled engine roars, and the fully powered swordfish torpedo glides on the narrow deck. Before reaching the front of the deck, it soars into the air.
The advantage of biplane is its low take-off and landing speed. As long as there is a flat land, it can take off!
In the back, one swordfish after another took off. The first attack wave was composed of 12 swordfish.
Six each carry a torpedo, four carry bombs, and two carry bombs and flares.
The Germans will never expect their own side to attack at night. When the flare lights up, it is when the German was sunk!
Ted looked around at the dark night sky. Now he flies entirely by instruments, which only the most experienced and experienced pilots can do.
The greatest advantage of this attack is that it is very close. The German warship is only 30 nautical miles away from its own side. Even if the swordfish flies slower, it will fly to the sea in 20 minutes at most.
The task of our own side is not to sink the other party. As long as we hurt the other party and make the other party lose its action ability, several cruisers in the fleet can come up and sink the German with ship artillery.
Do a good job!
They did not know that their whereabouts had been discovered by the Germans.
The German.
On a huge hemispherical screen, bright lines rotate in circles, and those bright spots almost always exist.
The radar soldiers were absorbed. They knew that battle would come at any time, and they were the eyes of the German.
Suddenly, on the radar screen, several additional light spots appeared!
These light spots are very small, almost looming on the screen, but they are definitely not interference echoes, but... Aircraft!
Those British fleets at sea, including aircraft carriers!
"Report, it is found that the British have taken off the carrier plane and are expected to arrive in 15 minutes!" On the bridge, Colonel stanger received the news.
"The whole ship, sound the air defense alarm, turn off all lights and put the anti-aircraft Gunners in place." Colonel stanger said, "let's welcome the British with heavy artillery."
In the original time and space, the German was equipped with Keng dad's 37mm hand-held aircraft. It didn't have enough firepower in the face of swordfish attack aircraft, but now, the German is a very strong anti-aircraft ship!
It has three double mounted 105mm anti-aircraft guns and sixteen 40mm boforth anti-aircraft guns. This firepower is enough to make the other party tremble. No matter how many planes come, it is sure to shoot down the other party!
The sharp air defense alarm sounded on the whole warship. Hearing the sound of air defense alarm, the anti-aircraft Gunners were running quickly towards the artillery position of the anti-aircraft guns.
"What's going on outside?" Asked Bruce.
His attitude was quite good, so he was treated well. The cool wind blew on the deck, which was also because the internal space of the warship was not enough. Next to him, the German navy soldiers with submachine guns were still very polite to him.
"There are air strikes." The German Navy soldier said to him.
"I ask to go to war." Bruce said, "during my service in the U.S. Navy, I also operated anti-aircraft guns, especially boforth anti-aircraft guns."
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
