Internal Breach Tactics

The commander of the US Pacific Fleet's shouting did nothing to change the outcome of the naval battle. If a few words alone could change the outcome of a war, he would not have been merely a lowly fleet commander.

The naval battle lasted more than two hours, and the Australasian aircraft had even flown back and forth several times to resupply.

After losing two battleships, three battlecruisers, and more than a dozen small and medium-sized warships, the US Pacific Fleet no longer had the courage to resist. It signaled its surrender to Australasia.

Viewed from the sky, the entire US Pacific Fleet had only lost a dozen or so warships to the depths, but the surviving vessels had all suffered varying degrees of damage. Some were even taking on water.

The situation was much better for the Australasian Combined Fleet. After all, it held the advantage in numbers and had aircraft providing support from the sky, so it had been able to fight without restraint.

Australasia had lost only one Pre-Dreadnought. The remaining warships had suffered nothing more than light damage, nowhere near enough to sink them.

The reason for the vast difference in the two sides' results was that, besides the Combined Navy's numerical advantage, the bombers in the sky had also contributed greatly.

Although bombers could not hit with perfect accuracy every time, a single hit could inflict considerable damage on a warship.

This was especially true of the small and medium-sized warships with weaker defenses. A single hit would basically leave them heavily damaged, and if luck was against them, they might even sink.

Under these circumstances, continuing the battle would only increase the casualties for no reason. The Australasian Navy remained calm and unhurried, and the naval personnel from the sole sunken Pre-Dreadnought were rescued
