The Essex-class aircraft carrier of the Eagle Navy is a large fleet aircraft carrier with a displacement of more than 30,000 tons and can carry one hundred carrier-based aircraft. Moreover, these Essex-class aircraft carriers are equipped with the most advanced F4U fighter jets. This is an advanced fighter aircraft that is comparable in performance to the carrier-based BF-109 fighter aircraft of the Third Reich Navy. Even compared with the carrier-based FW-190 fighter, the gap is not big.

Of course, now all the carrier-based fighters of the Third Reich Navy have been replaced by carrier-based FW-190 fighters. The F4U fighter jets of the Eagle Navy still had no advantage over the carrier-based fighter jets of the Third Reich Navy.

According to the organization of the carrier-based air wing on the aircraft carrier of the Eagle Navy, one hundred carrier-based aircraft on each aircraft carrier are organized into a carrier-based air wing. Including 36 F4U fighters, 36 SBD2 dive bombers, and 18 TBD torpedo attack aircraft. There is also an SBD2 dive bomber serving as a command aircraft. In addition to this, there were nine aircraft as backup, three each of fighters, dive bombers and torpedo attack aircraft.

It can be said that the overall performance of the Essex-class aircraft carrier is not weak at all even when compared with the Zeppelin-class aircraft carrier of the Third Reich Navy. But it is a pity that the Eagle Navy will no longer have the opportunity to further develop and expand their aircraft carrier fleet. The Third Reich would not give them this chance again.

After this battle, the Navy of the Eagle Kingdom will probably cease to exist.

"call out! call out! call out!"

Carrier-based aircraft one after another took off from the Essex-class aircraft carrier of the Eagle Navy.

Each Essex-class aircraft carrier will dispatch 18 F4U fighters, 18 SBD2 dive bombers and 9 TBD torpedo attack aircraft. 12 aircraft carriers can dispatch a total of 216 F4U fighters, 216 SBD2 dive bombers and 108 TBD torpedo attack aircraft. Moreover, this is only the first wave of attack aircraft groups.

In the first wave of attack aircraft groups After that, the second wave of attack aircraft groups will take off. The number of carrier-based aircraft is exactly the same as the first wave of attack aircraft groups.

It can be said that in order to destroy the 12 Qi Bolin-class aircraft carriers of the Third Reich Navy in one fell swoop, the main aircraft carrier formation of the Eagle Navy It was a desperate move. Admiral Chest Nimitz dispatched almost all carrier-based aircraft. Even the fleet's anti-aircraft fighters were taken care of by backup fighters.

Once they were attacked by the carrier-based aircraft of the Third Reich Navy , If the aircraft group attacks, they will have to rely on the aircraft carrier's own anti-aircraft firepower and the anti-aircraft firepower of the escort warships to resist. And the possibility of resisting it will undoubtedly be very small.

"God bless us and bless the country of Eagle Sauce!"Admiral Chelst Nimitz watched the carrier-based aircraft take off one after another, praying to God in his heart, praying that this operation can be successful.

If the 12 Zeppelin-class aircraft carriers of the Third Reich Navy can be destroyed in one fell swoop, , and if their own losses are not large. Then, even if they paid heavy losses in the previous naval battle, they can still regain their disadvantage and reverse the situation.

Even with the help of those warships that are being built crazily in the Yingjiang Navy Shipyard , they can also defeat the Third Reich Navy in one fell swoop and regain control of the Atlantic Ocean. By then, the crisis facing the Eagle Country will be relieved. In this war, they can at least maintain an undefeated position. Even , if you are lucky, you may be able to counterattack the Third Reich and win this war.

On the other side, just as the 12 Essex-class aircraft carriers of the Eagle Navy began to take off carrier-based aircraft, the Third Reich The Imperial Navy also received a telegram from the submarine

"Your Excellency, Commander, a submarine has discovered the main aircraft carrier formation of the Eagle Navy. They are about four hundred kilometers northwest of us. Moreover, they are taking off and landing carrier-based aircraft. Obviously, our position has been exposed."Marshal Albrecht said

"Well, it looks like God is still on our side. Order all ships to immediately take off carrier-based aircraft and launch an attack on the main aircraft carrier of the Eagle Navy! This should be the last battle between our two sides in this naval battle. After winning this battle, we will be able to win the final victory in this naval battle!"Marshal Redl said

"Yes, Commander!"Marshal Albrecht nodded.

Although the Third Reich Navy has achieved great results in this battle and gained an absolute advantage. But if the 12 Essex-class ships of the Eagle Navy are not destroyed, Aircraft carrier. Then, the Third Reich cannot be said to have completely won this naval battle.

"Order all ships to take off carrier-based aircraft immediately and prepare to launch an attack!"Marshal Redel ordered

"Yes, Your Excellency, Commander. However, is it necessary for the 3rd Aircraft Carrier Group and the 4th Aircraft Carrier Group to also launch an attack? Marshal Albrecht asked.

Marshal Redl thought for a moment and then said:"Let the 3rd aircraft carrier formation participate in the attack." This time, we are going to destroy the 12 Essex-class aircraft carriers of the Eagle Navy in one fell swoop. In addition, after the carrier-based aircraft of the 3rd aircraft carrier formation besieging the Japanese naval battlecruiser formation returned home, the carrier-based fighter jets were allowed to take off in the shortest possible time to participate in air defense operations. The Navy of the Eagle Kingdom also dispatched a large number of carrier-based aircraft this time. We don't just have to kill them. At the same time, we must conserve our strength to the greatest extent possible. After all, the Eagle Navy is just an enemy of ours. In the Pacific, we have another enemy"

"Yes, Your Excellency, Commander! Marshal Albrecht replied.

Then, the 12 Zeppelin-class aircraft carriers of the Third Reich Navy began to take off carrier-based aircraft.

Each of these aircraft carriers took off 12 carrier-based fighters, 18 dive bombers, 12 or 18 torpedo attack aircraft. The first four Qi Bolin-class aircraft carriers built were only able to carry 96 carrier-based aircraft. Therefore, they only carried 24 torpedo attack aircraft.

But even so, among the first wave of attack aircraft , the 12 Zeppelin-class aircraft carriers of the Third Reich Navy also took off 144 carrier-based fighters, 216 dive bombers and 192 dive bombers. The second wave of attack aircraft groups that took off later will also take off such a number of carrier-based aircraft The aircraft launched an attack.

Moreover, in order to prevent the attack from the carrier-based aircraft group of the Eagle Navy, each aircraft carrier also left 12 carrier-based fighter jets for air defense.
