On the morning of October 17, when US Army Air Corps dispatched a huge fleet of aircraft to prepare to launch an attack on Bermuda Islands, American fleet and British fleet also merged in the southern waters of Newfoundland.
The nine fleet carriers of American Navy, four light carriers, six Capital Ships, and the eight medium carriers of British Navy, 10 Capital Ships, plus a large number of cruisers and destroyers. This has formed a huge Grand Fleet with a total number of more than 400 ships. Even when facing three Grand Fleet with German Navy on top of Atlantic Ocean, they still have the strength to fight.
Of course, compared to German Navy, American Navy and British Navy are still at a disadvantage even if they are combined. Even because of the performance gap between Carrier-based aircraft, it is very difficult for US and British Navy to win. However, if it is just to deal with Home Fleet of German Navy, US and British Navy is undoubtedly at an advantage.
On American Navy's 'Essex' aircraft carrier, the senior generals of American Navy and British Navy gathered here. United States Commander of the Atlantic Fleet General Ernest King was ordered to serve as American fleet this time Commander. At the same time, after American Navy obtained the command power of British Navy, he naturally became Commander of Combined Fleet.
For British Navy, General British Navy Commander of the Atlantic Fleet John? Tovey serves as the deputy commander of Combined Fleet. Admiral Andrew? Cunningham served as Aircraft Carrier Formation's deputy Commander.
Although, the US and UK navies formed Combined Fleet. But in fact, each still commands its own fleet. But when fighting German Navy, they need to act together. There is no way around this. No matter which side the two navies belong to, they will definitely not be German fleet's opponent if they act alone. Therefore, they can only join forces. Only in this way can we have a chance of winning.
"Gentlemen, the Germans have captured the Bermuda Islands. They are trying to establish a bridgehead in the western waters of the Atlantic Ocean that threatens the entire North America. To this end, they have set a trap and transferred the main force of our navy away from the southern region. However, this also gives us an opportunity. According to the information we have, the German navy that captured the Bermuda Islands is the German Atlantic Fleet and the Mediterranean Fleet. And what appears in the Greenland waters is the German Home Fleet." Admiral Ernest King.
"Yes, General Jin, this is a good opportunity for us. If we can seize this opportunity and inflict heavy damage or even annihilate German Home Fleet in one fell swoop, then we will be able to take a greater advantage in the next battle." John? Admiral Tovey said.
British Navy is also ambitious in this regard. They hope to severely damage German Navy through this battle, because only in that way can their own safety be ensured. In fact, there will be a chance to counterattack British mainland.
"General Tovey, then, we have reached an agreement on this issue." General Ernest King said with a smile.
John? Admiral Tovey nodded.
"Very good, then our two navies need to work together. I believe that with our strength, we will be able to defeat the Germany people." Admiral Ernest King said.
"Yes, General Jin, we will definitely be able to defeat the Germany people!" General John Tovey said.
The generals of American Navy and the generals of British Navy all know that for them, German Navy is too powerful. It is very difficult to defeat German Navy. And, the opportunities are rare. This opportunity may be the last chance for American Navy and British Navy. Therefore, they must seize this opportunity. Otherwise, if they miss this opportunity, they will never have a chance to defeat the Germany people. In the end, they will only be eliminated step by step by the Germany people.
If American Navy and British Navy completely failed. Then, the Germany people will not only completely control the sea of the entire Atlantic Ocean. It can even launch further attacks on North America East Coast. To the end, the mighty German Army landing in North America. As for the US Army and British Army, it is even more difficult for them to withstand German Army's attack or even defeat German Army. Therefore, the only way to protect their country is to win a naval battle. Only in this way can they defend their country. He even had the strength to turn defeat into victory and defeat German Navy in one fell swoop.
"General Kimmel, let me introduce to you the strength of German Home Fleet!" General Ernest Jin said.
"Yes, General." Admiral Haspen Kimmel replied.
"Generals, German Home Fleet has a total of eight aircraft carriers and eight Capital Ships. Among Battle of the Azores, German Home Fleet has an aircraft carrier The mothership and one Capital Ships were sunk, but now they have added an aircraft carrier, making German Home Fleet 8 aircraft carriers and 7 Capital Ships.
German Navy's aircraft carriers are all large fleet aircraft carriers. Four 'Sovereign-class' aircraft carriers, each capable of carrying one hundred and twenty Carrier-based aircraft. Four 'Constellation-class' aircraft carriers, each capable of carrying one hundred and three Carrier-based aircraft. These two aircraft carriers are more powerful than our 'Essex-class' aircraft carrier. Not to mention other light aircraft carriers and medium aircraft carriers. The Capital Ships of German Navy is the Capital Ships that entered service after the previous World War. The hull is already relatively old. But after modern modifications, it still has good combat effectiveness! "General Hasband Kimmel said.
"German Home Fleet's Capital Ships is built using the hull of the unfinished Capital Ships that captured us!" John? Admiral Tovey said through gritted teeth.
This has always been a shame for British Navy. After Germany captured British mainland, they also captured a large number of unfinished warships in the shipyard. As a result, German Navy suddenly gained more than twenty Capital Ships.
"Even if the Capital Shipss of the Germany people have been modernized, we can still sink them in this naval battle!" Admiral Andrew Cunningham said.
The ten Capital Shipss of British Navy are two 'Nelson-class' Battleship, four 'Lion-class' Battleship and four 'Hood-class' Battlecruiser. These Capital Ships are all cutting-edge Capital Ships, with very powerful performance. The generals of British Navy have great confidence in these Capital Ships.
