Ship transformation, the admiral goes to the military police to repent

Hood looked expectantly at the closed gate of Vian Dockyard.

"I don't know much. Xuefeng just told me that Lexington has been greatly changed."

Elizabeth also said with emotion.

She never thought that Wei'an's growth would exceed her expectations.

She witnessed Wei'an's admission to school, his efforts in helping the Yukikaze ship materialize, and his outstanding performance when facing the deep sea.

Even so, she felt that Wei'an was already very capable among admirals of the same age.

But now Wei An told her with facts that this was not a problem, and she still underestimated Wei An.

He is already much better than his parents and has reached a level that they have never reached.

"Xiaoxue, I hope you can also feel relieved in heaven."

"Hood, you guys keep talking about how awesome she is, but today I want to see where he gets the courage to challenge us."

"Don't worry, I won't let you down. That little guy is very interesting."

The Prince of Wales patted Agincourt on the shoulder as she waited with interest for the dock to open.

Agincourt

When Vian was taking Clemenceau on an exercise before, she was already itching to get her hands dirty, especially since Shropshire, who was also a legendary ship girl, had no ability to resist at all.

She longed for such an opponent.

In particular, she has now replaced her main guns with the 380mm main guns she bought, with a total of two installed on the front deck.

At the same time, perhaps because of the memory fragments of the battleship, she has a little fear of airplanes.

So compared to other ship girls around her, she specially installed anti-aircraft guns.

Finally, the gate of the dock opened as they were eagerly waiting.

As expected, the familiar Xuefeng was the first to appear, followed by two warships exactly like her.

Hood, who was quite familiar with the Vian ship girls, immediately figured out who these two destroyers were.

"I didn't expect that he already had three destroyers."

Elizabeth looked at the warships with admiration in her eyes.

"But I don't know if it's my illusion, but their main gun seems to be a little bigger than last time."

"Didn't Shropshire and Saratoga sell so many resources? I guess he changed them at that time."

Elizabeth explained to Hood while eagerly waiting for the next warship.

"If I remember correctly, he had a light cruiser."

"Ah."

"So this is a light cruiser?"

If Xuefeng and the others had seen it before, they would be used to it. Clemenceau was a relatively large battleship, so they could understand it.

But what did Yixian, who had just sailed out, see?

Hood looked back suspiciously at the main gun mounted on Elizabeth, then rubbed his eyes and looked at the main gun mounted on Yixian.

"Elizabeth, your main gun is 380mm, right?"

"Yeah, what's wrong?"

"Look at the main gun on that battleship. It seems to be 380mm as well. And it's the same type as the main gun Wales just replaced."

Yixian's appearance not only stunned Hood, but also the other ship girls following her.

Except for the aircraft carrier Glory, the others that came with them this time were battleships and battlecruisers.

Therefore, they are most sensitive to cannons, and most of them have not yet installed 380mm main guns.

This time, the Prince of Wales ran fast and took down two main guns, which made them very envious.

Now Hood told them that this was the main gun of a light cruiser, how could they believe it.

"Although my main gun is not weak, Wales, please pinch me."

Agincourt was still a little bit unbelievable.

This is totally unreasonable. And what's going on with that hull?

They could only remain silent as they looked at the 250-meter-long ship.

Among them, only Hood can be compared with Yixian.

The size of a light cruiser is far beyond theirs.

The ship girl who had some doubts about Wei'an's talent and ability no longer has any doubts now.

The 380mm main gun is justice.

But it’s not over yet, the next person to come out is Clemenceau.

After Yixian's shock at the beginning, Clemenceau and the others felt numb after hearing Hood and the others' introduction.

Therefore, the Warspite, whose battleship performance was relatively poor among them, had already approached Hood.

"Little Hood, this battleship should be his strongest battleship. It's great. It has large-caliber main guns and so many anti-aircraft guns. It makes people feel safe at first glance."

"Saratoga, who used to be in the U-League, is now his ship girl."

Hood said after thinking for a moment.

"If I remember correctly, Yukikaze said that he prefers and values ​​aircraft carriers more."

Elizabeth added in time for Hood.

"I see. But it's so difficult to train an aircraft carrier. What's so great about it? Wouldn't it be more efficient to use cannons?"

War-weary put his little hand on his lower lip and said suspiciously.

Chapter 176 Big Brother's Concerns

"Today we will know what his aircraft carrier is like. I hope it is not what I think."

The Prince of Wales, who had a phobia of airplanes, trembled all over.

"Then you don't have to worry. Don't I know Saratoga well? Leave your air defense to me."

As a legendary aircraft carrier girl, she also believes that she is no weaker than Saratoga.

Finally, after these five warships sailed out, the door of the dock was closed.

"Dean, Miss Hood, let's talk while we walk. Lexington and the others will come and meet us later."

Vian stood on the deck of Clemenceau.

"Ah."

Although Hood and Elizabeth had many questions in their minds, they were prepared to slowly understand them during the exercise.

He just kept his eyes on the warship following Elizabeth's ship.

Among them, reputation and counterattack are somewhat complicated.

They had known Vian since they started school, and he knew about what happened between him and Elizabeth.

So they are also the ones who witness Wei'an's changes day by day.

The snow wind had already given them a great shock before, and now there were a few more powerful warships.

"Sister, do you think he has a chance?"

Counterattack, who was standing next to Reputation, never took his eyes off Clemenceau.

"It's very slim. After all, there is a big difference between a legendary ship girl and an ordinary ship girl. Although the performance of his warship is very good, it is still a little worse than our battleships and battlecruisers."

The scattered ship girls on the sea looked at the fleet moving away from the academy with only surprise in their eyes, not to mention the unique style of Vian's warship, which also made some admirals who had heard of him know who he was.

Finally, after they had been sailing for half an hour, they finally saw Vian's aircraft carrier.

A warship that is impossible to ignore on the sea.

If Clemenceau was already a huge warship in their eyes, then when Lexington slowly sailed over, they felt that they still underestimated Vian.

While Lexington was slowly catching up with the fleet, the three battleships, Kokang, Shimakaze and Yukikaze, had already begun to change their formations.

They gave up the center position of the fleet, and at the same time they moved out a few hundred meters to the left and right of Lexington to guard her.

At the same time, Yixian increased his speed and sailed to the front of the entire fleet.

The three battleships Clemenceau, Elizabeth and Lexington were all escorted.

Wei'an did not give any instructions during the entire process, and everything was done in one go.

The sight of a gigantic battleship towering over the sea was already shocking enough to them.

Now Hood and the others finally understood what the core of the fleet was.

Even the battleship Clemenceau was now sailing in a position that seemed to be guarding Lexington.

A completely different tactical position from other aircraft carrier girls.

"Come on, Agincourt, pinch me."

This time it was the Prince of Wales' turn to stare at Lexington's hull in shock, but Agincourt was in a similar situation.

It should be said that the ship girls of the E-Union are now speechless.

The hull of Lexington is completely different from the aircraft carriers they are familiar with.

The others all had a flat flight deck, but the Lexington's flight deck was completely different.

However, they were all legendary ship girls who had experienced many storms, so although they were shocked, they quickly calmed down.

At the same time, Elizabeth quickly moved her warship closer to Clemenceau.

"Lexington, how much does she weigh now?"

Hood couldn't wait to ask them what they were thinking.

"71000 tons."

Hearing Wei An's calm answer, all the ship girls took a deep breath.

"But can she control such a large ship?"

Guanghui, who is also an aircraft carrier, asked the question in her heart. Only as an aircraft carrier could she understand the direct problems brought about by the huge Lexington.

The number of hangars on the Lexington is much larger than that of a normal aircraft carrier, and the calculation requirements for the aircraft carrier are also higher.

If the number of aircraft that can be launched simultaneously cannot be increased, it will be useless even if there are more aircraft crammed into the hangar.

"Isn't my talent to help my ship girl solve these problems?"

Wei An answered with a smile.

At the same time, as the aircraft carrier girl, Glory asked a question that she particularly wanted to know.

"Then how many carrier-based aircraft can your aircraft carrier's hangar hold?"

"About 180."

Wei An glanced at the expectant eyes of the other ship girls around him and implicitly said a number.

But even with such an answer, their pupils still dilated.

"180?"

Guanghui asked in disbelief. After all, as a 23000-ton aircraft carrier, how big is the hangar? 57 aircraft.

But what did she hear now?

180 aircraft, more than three times larger than her hangar, and Lexington's combat power limit is much higher than hers.

If Saratoga can fully demonstrate her strength as a legendary ship girl, then Tejas is an aircraft carrier girl that is dragged down by her own hull.

The upper limit of her hangar is only 57 aircraft, and her growth limit is reached when her training level reaches 82.

Subsequent training levels will no longer increase the number of carrier-based aircraft she can launch.

"Correct."

The Prince of Wales, who suffers from a phobia of flying, could already feel himself sweating.
