American Navy's disastrous defeat in this naval battle has completely broken their muscles and bones. Both the Aircraft Carrier Formation and Capital Ships formations, as well as the cruiser and destroyer formations, all suffered heavy blows. Especially Carrier-based Aircraft Unit, this time it suffered a devastating blow. If you want to regain your strength, it will undoubtedly be very difficult.
But even so, American Navy has not given up yet. Neither President of the United States Roosevelt nor US government gave up. They still decided to strongly support the navy and let the navy regain its strength as soon as possible so that it can compete with Germany for sea control on Atlantic Ocean.
For United States, if they lose their sea control on Atlantic Ocean, they will not pose any threat to Germany. Even without a strong naval defense, even their homeland would be under huge threat. If you want to defend United States and ensure the safety of United States's homeland, you must resist Germany talents at sea.
United States's major shipyards have received notices from the government, requiring them to speed up the production of American Navy's various types of warships. In particular, the second batch of 12 'Essex-class' aircraft carriers are required to further speed up. The third batch of 12 'Essex-class' aircraft carriers also started construction immediately, striving to be in service within one year. In addition, in view of the heavy losses of the Capital Ships formation, the new level Capital Ships designed by American Navy after Montana-class and Battleship was also required to speed up the progress, so that they can have a stronger strength against German Navy in future naval battles. It goes without saying that cruisers and destroyers are speeding up their construction progress.
It can be said that now United States East Coast's major shipyards, which have a little ability to build warships, have received orders from the government and the military and have begun building warships for American Navy. In order to speed up the recovery of American Navy's strength and make American Navy even more powerful, US government tried his best.
In addition, although F4U fighter plane still lost to the advanced carrier-based fighter of German Navy in the naval battle. However, its excellent performance was unanimously recognized by the surviving pilots. Although this aircraft is not a match for the German Navy carrier-based FW-190 fighter, it can at least compete with the German Navy carrier-based BF-109 fighter. This is undoubtedly a great improvement for American Navy. American Navy Some people even think that if the aircraft carrier dispatched by American Navy this time carries all the fighter jets F4U fighter plane, perhaps the outcome of this naval battle will be completely different. Even if they are still no match for German Navy, at least they won't lose so miserably, and it will cause greater losses to Germany people.
However, there are no ifs in this world. What American Navy can do is to further increase the production of F4U fighter plane and replace all subsequent aircraft carriers with F4U fighter plane. German Navy is doing the same thing. Since the carrier-based BF-109 fighter jets can no longer gain an overwhelming advantage, German Navy plans to replace all remaining carrier-based BF-109 fighter jets on the aircraft carrier to shore bases. All Carrier-based aircraft on the aircraft carrier have been replaced by carrier-based FW-190 fighter jets. In this case, the strength of German military and Carrier-based Aircraft Unit can be further improved, allowing German Navy to have a greater advantage in the next naval battle.
The development progress of American Navy's next-level fighter, the F6F fighter, is also accelerating. Although this is an improvement over F4F fighter plane. However, the performance is completely different from that of F4F fighter plane. The codename of the F4F is 'Wildcat', while the codename of the F6F fighter is 'Hellcat'. It can be seen that American Navy attaches great importance to this kind of carrier-based fighter.
After the meeting, President of the United States Roosevelt was left with Secretary of War Henry? L? Stilson, Chief of Army General Staff General Marshall and Army Air Corps Commander Henry? Harry? General Arnold. Although President Roosevelt has high hopes for the navy, and even though the navy suffered heavy losses in this naval battle, President Roosevelt still hopes that the navy can regain its strength as soon as possible and once again compete with German Navy for sea control on Atlantic Ocean. However, President Roosevelt had to prepare for the worst. That means American Navy has at most one chance to compete with German Navy. If he loses again, American Navy will have no chance at all. At that time, United States will face Germany's attack on its homeland. Therefore, President Roosevelt hopes to be ready as soon as possible. If the situation really reaches that point, they will have sufficient preparation time to deal with the Germany people.
"Gentlemen, German Army used their powerful strength to teach us a lesson! Let us know what kind of navy is the most powerful navy in the world." President Roosevelt said with a wry smile.
"Yes, Mr. President. Before this decisive battle, I would think that our navy has enough strength to challenge German Navy. Even with a little better luck, it is possible to defeat German Navy and win the final victory. However, this naval battle has made us know how big the gap is between us and German Navy. How difficult it is to defeat German Navy." Minister Stilson also said.
General Marshall and General Arnold also had serious expressions. They had previously been optimistic that American Navy undoubtedly had a great chance of winning. In that case, United States can take action against Europe. But now it seems that they were too optimistic.
"Gentlemen, I know that it may be unfair to the army to allocate a large amount of resources to the navy. However, I hope that everyone can think about the overall situation. If we do not speed up the development of the navy and let them restore their strength as soon as possible, then our homeland will be threatened. Only when the navy becomes stronger can we have the ability to deal with German Navy and ensure the security of our homeland." President Roosevelt said.
There is also a lot of conflict between the US Army and the navy. Every year, the two sides compete for military budgets, and they fight to the death. However, this is normal. But President Roosevelt hopes that when United States's life and death are at stake, the army and navy can give up their prejudices.
"Your Excellency, please don't worry about this. The Army fully understands the government's difficulties. Moreover, the Army also hopes that the Navy will become stronger. Only when the Navy becomes stronger will our country be safer. We will even have the day to land on Europe," General Marshall said.
