"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"
One after another, Carrier-based aircraft took off from the aircraft carriers American Navy and British Navy. Britain in this time and space, after retreating to Canada, military technology was highly shared with United States. Therefore, in terms of Carrier-based aircraft, the two countries are exactly the same. After Battle of the Azores, the carrier-based fighter jets of the two navies were replaced by F4U fighter plane.
Of the nine 'Essex-class' aircraft carriers, Carrier-based aircraft is undoubtedly the most carried. Among the first wave of Carrier-based aircraft that took off, each aircraft carrier 'Essex-class' took off 18 F4U fighter plane, 18 SBD2 dive bomber and 9 TBD torpedo bomber. As for the four 'Independence-class' light aircraft carriers, each only carries 24 F4U fighter plane and 9 TBD torpedo bomber. In this operation, these 'Independence-class' light aircraft carriers only took off nine TBD torpedo bomber. As for the fighter jets it carried, all of them have been retained, and they will become the main force of the fleet's air defense.
In the next attack, Admiral Ernest King divided all nine Essex-class aircraft carriers Carrier-based aircraft into two rounds. Then, the next fleet air defense can only rely on the F4U fighter plane on the four "Independence-class" aircraft carriers for air defense.
While the aircraft carrier American Navy kept taking off Carrier-based aircraft, the eight medium-sized aircraft carriers British Navy were also taking off Carrier-based aircraft. They will also be involved in this attack.
The eight medium-sized aircraft carriers of British Navy are three 'Glorious-class' aircraft carriers, each carrying 48 Carrier-based aircraft. One 'HMS Ark Royal' class aircraft carrier and four 'Outstanding class' aircraft carriers, each carrying 54 Carrier-based aircraft. In this attack, the eight medium-sized aircraft carriers of British Navy were able to take off a total of 69 F4U fighter plane, 69 SBD2 dive bomber and 69 TBD torpedo bomber.
An hour later, they were able to launch so many Carrier-based aircrafts in the second wave of attacks.
The aircraft carriers American Navy and British Navy took off the huge Carrier-based aircraft, forming a huge fleet and flying to the location of German Home Fleet more than 400 kilometers away.
The entire fleet includes 231 F4U fighter plane, 231 SBD2 dive bomber and 186 TBD torpedo bomber. The number of Carrier-based aircraft has reached 648. This is undoubtedly a very powerful force. Once an attack is launched against German Navy's Home Fleet, it will be enough to drown German Navy's Home Fleet.
What's more, the second wave of planes will depart in an hour. Compared with the first wave of aircraft fleet, the second wave of aircraft fleet is only 36 less TBD torpedo bomber, and the total number of Carrier-based aircraft in the entire fleet can still reach 612. If two waves of Carrier-based aircraft launch an attack on German Home Fleet, it will be enough to tear all the battleships of German Home Fleet into pieces.
Watching the huge Carrier-based aircraft fleet flying away from the fleet, Admiral Ernest King nodded with satisfaction.
"This time, the Germany people will definitely not be able to escape. As long as we can get rid of them, we will win this battle." General Ernest King looked confident.
"Yes, General. In an hour, the second wave of aircraft will be ready to take off. With two waves, there are more than 1,200 Carrier-based aircrafts. It is enough to swamp the German Navys!" Admiral Haspen Kimmel said.
"Let our air search for Radar be careful and stay vigilant. Prevent Germany from jumping over the wall. The carrier-based fighters of the four 'Independence*-class' light aircraft carriers are also ready. Once German aircraft group is discovered, they will immediately take off to meet the enemy!" Admiral Ernest King said.
"Yes, General." The staff officer immediately went to give the order.
On British fleet's flagship aircraft carrier 'HMS Ark Royal', Admiral John Tovey and Admiral Andrew Cunningham were also talking.
"Our submarine is probably in danger. The Germany people will definitely find them." Admiral John Tovey said.
Andrew? Admiral Cunningham nodded. "The Germany people can easily listen to the Telegram they send out. With the strong anti-submarine capabilities of the Germany people, unless a miracle occurs. Otherwise, the submarine will be dead."
"However, their sacrifice is valuable. We can seize this opportunity and kill German Home Fleet in one fell swoop, thereby gaining a decisive advantage in this naval battle. It is undoubtedly very worthwhile to use a submarine to win us such an opportunity." Andrew? Admiral Cunningham continued.
Indeed, if it were not for this Britain submarine, it would be very difficult for American and British fleets to find traces of German Home Fleet. In fact, it is very likely that German Home Fleet will slip away. Once German Navy's Home Fleet is reunited with the other two fleets, American and British fleets may never have a chance again.
"Yes, they are all Royal Navy heroes. Even though we lost our homeland, we still continued to fight. It is precisely because of this that we have the opportunity to defeat the Germany people in one fell swoop and regain our homeland!" said General John Tovey.
If US and British Navy can defeat German Navy in this naval battle and win. Then, they might really have a chance to hit Atlantic East and take back British mainland in one fell swoop. However, this naval battle has just begun. It would be too early to conclude that they can win now.
"General Cunningham, can we eliminate German Home Fleet in one fell swoop this time?" John? General Tovey asked.
Admiral Andrew Cunningham hesitated for a moment, and then said, "It may be difficult to completely annihilate the German Navy's Home Fleet. However, if we want to severely damage the German Navy's Home Fleet, there should be no problem. The first batch of carrier-based aircraft we dispatched was more than 600. The two batches added up to more than 1,200. Even if necessary, a third wave or even a third wave can be launched. The fourth wave of attacks. This force is enough to swamp the German Navy's carrier-based aircraft. However, we have a decisive advantage in terms of numbers. And we are the first to attack. I really can't think of any way for the German Navy to escape this disaster. It can be said that we have a guaranteed victory this time!
