Ten nautical miles, this is completely within the firing range of the naval gun!
In the storm, the British local fleet found the German at this distance. When it found the single warship, Admiral Tovey, who led the team, immediately ordered to launch an attack!
Admiral tovi was picked up from the sea. When the aircraft carrier formation of competitive God was attacked by German carrier aircraft, the local main fleet was coming 20 nautical miles away from them. When they arrived, there was only cleaning the battlefield.
When John Tovey was picked up, he immediately took over the command, continued to command the fleet and besieged the German fleet!
It hasn't failed yet. It's just a night battle!
This time, their main fleet has arrived. In the formation, there are only four battleships with a displacement of more than 30000 tons.
Queen Elizabeth and Barham of Queen Elizabeth class, Nelson of Nelson class, R-class battleship "monarchy", in addition, there are heavy cruisers "Dorset" and "Cornwall", etc.
Although Britain has declined, it is still a superpower and has a strong navy!
More than a dozen warships swayed on the sea. When the German was found, the most famous naval gun duel in World War II began.
The British won't know. The German fired first!
The strength of the two sides is uneven. After all, the German is only an armored cruiser, while the other side comes over a dozen large warships.
But the German opened fire first.
The 283mm guns on both sides of the bow and stern turned to the starboard side. Almost in half a minute, the whole German roared.
"Boom!" The six guns fired at the same time, but only a sound was heard. With the sound, a huge flame came out at the muzzle of the naval gun, forming a heat wave of several meters in front of the muzzle. In the heat wave, 283mm armor piercing shells flew opposite at a speed of 910 meters per second!
The distance of ten nautical miles only takes less than 20 seconds!
Moreover, at such a long distance, the warship was shaking again, and even the British Gunners were not sure of hitting it.
The Germans are just playing tricks!
Admiral tovi was not worried that the other side would hit his side, but only worried that the other side would run away. After all, his battleships had only a speed of more than 20 knots and could not catch up with the German with high-speed diesel engines.
He did not know that the German was hurt by his failed attack at night.
It can be said that the firing of German warships now just wants to delay their actions, and the other party must not succeed!
"Keep moving at full speed and surround the German!" Admiral Tovey only gave this order, and then he saw a terrible scene.
In front of the fleet, the Dorset heavy cruiser is planning to surpass the other party with high speed, and then block the other party to facilitate group fighting.
However, three shells accurately hit the British newly commissioned heavy cruiser!
The 283mm armor piercing projectile is quite powerful. It can tear 340mm armor at a place of 15km, while the Dorset is just a cruiser. The standard displacement is 10000 tons, and the place with the thickest armor is only 111mm.
When the 283mm armor piercing bullet came into close contact with it along the waterline, the shell easily tore off the armor of the waterline and drilled into its stomach.
"Boom!" In the loud explosion, the Dorset rolled smoke and hit the boiler at the tail
"Boom!" One meter apart, another armor piercing bullet drilled into the lower part of the rear turret. It directly tore off the armor protection at the lower part of the turret, bringing more terrible results.
"Boom!" Another meter apart, the third armor piercing bullet drilled into the emptiest place. This time, it passed directly from the port side and out from the starboard side!
Comparing the power of naval guns, we can't simply compare the caliber. It is related to a variety of factors, such as propellant, such as double diameter, such as firing speed, etc. the German 283mm naval gun has amazing power and terrible precision!
The triple mounted naval gun at the stern flew, and the triple mounted naval gun at the bow made a proud achievement of three shots.
"Come on, let the water out!" At this time, in the turret of the Dorset, the gunner's legs were broken. Ignoring the severe pain, he shouted to the stunned sailors.
The explosion of ammunition will occur at any time. In order to avoid the explosion of ammunition, it is necessary to put it into the sea water and let the sea water drown here. It must be fast!
"Come on, my children!" Shouted the gunner.
The pipe was opened, and the turbulent sea water flooded in. The gunner's body was completely immersed in the sea water. His mouth spit out a few bubbles, and his body was cold.
The sea water also swallowed up other people. In order not to sink the warship, but also to submerge the ammunition depot, this is the inevitable outcome. Their sacrifice brought the safety of the warship.
However, this warship has no combat effectiveness.
The German, the first volley, destroyed a British reconnaisance!
Colonel stanger is very clear in his heart that when the other party is not prepared, he can attack any warship of the other party. According to the general idea, the threat of battleships is the greatest.
However, the other side's battleship is slow and can't catch up with itself. Moreover, the battleship has thick armor and its own 283mm gun. It's not so easy to kill the other side. In this case, it's more sure to pick up soft persimmons and pinch them.
Let the other party know that if you want to chase yourself, you have to pay a price.
"Full speed." He continued, "second volley, target, Cornwall."
British heavy cruisers are treaty ships. They are typically thin skinned and stuffed. Bully these warships first!
At the same time, accelerate and join your fleet, and let your fleet destroy them!
The Cornwall is a Kent class heavy cruiser, officially known as "treaty class heavy cruiser", "10000 Ton Class Heavy Cruiser" and "the first batch of county class heavy cruisers". But privately, they are despised as "white elephant", "white grave" and "thin skin".
The ships of the same class are Kent, Bellick, Cumberland, Cornwall and Suffolk.
In order to control the displacement and consider the balance of various performance, we have to make sacrifices in defense. The waterline armor belt is only 25mm thick. Due to the strict control of weight during construction, the standard displacement at the time of completion was 9750 tons, 200 tons less than planned.
From this point of view, the British are also old-fashioned. This kind of warship definitely belongs to a dozen!
When the German's gun turned to the Cornwall, the captain of the Cornwall was surprised.
