Chapter 102 Kitty Hawk Aircraft Carrier
The warm Pacific sea breeze blows to Honshu Island. Although the latitude is high enough, the islanders have never felt the coldness of East Asia. This is also the reason why women wear skirts and naked calves on the land of the island country all year round. This is a very suitable place for humans to live in.`
At this time, at the entrance of Tokyo Bay, there were masts and warships were anchored everywhere.
This is Yokosuka Port, the island country. It has a good geographical location, connected to Yokohama City in the north and the east coast of Yokosuka City in the south. The port has unique conditions in terms of mooring facilities, ship repair capabilities, oil and ammunition storage equipment, and military rest facilities. It can be said that it is almost the first military port in the East!
The waters in the port are wide, the water is deep and the current is slow, and there is no need for dredging. This unique geographical location makes it a naval port for the island country very early, and the US military landed here after the end of World War II and was stationed at the former Japanese naval factory in Yokosuka. As a victorious country, the United States began to station troops in the island country. In 47, the US military further established a ship repair department, a supply station and a port department to form a de facto US naval base. After the signing of the San Francisco Peace Treaty, the island country officially provided the Yokosuka base to the US military in 52 in accordance with the Japan-US Security Treaty. Yokosuka base was officially the joint location of the island country's Maritime Self-Defense Fleet Command and the US Navy Command in Japan (that is, the 7th Fleet Command).
Afterwards, the Midway aircraft carrier entered here, and many of the officers and soldiers of the aircraft carrier moved their families to Yokosuka. Due to the tight barracks in the base, many people had to find a house outside, which even caused most of the residents in Yokosuka to be American, and the entire Yokosuka economy was completely for the service of Americans.`
At this time, a large warship was anchored in the port. The deck of this warship was quite wide and its size was much wider than the previous Midway Island.
On the island, the huge number 63 represents the identity of this aircraft carrier, which is the cv-63, the Kitty Hawk aircraft carrier!
As a giant warship with a full load displacement of over 80,000 tons, as a US last conventional-powered aircraft carrier, this warship has four catapults and a load of up to eighty aircraft. At this time, in the shutdown area next to the island, several fighter jets shrank their wings and docked side by side.
Standing on the tall bridge, Captain Colonel Steve Bronchi and Flight Wing Commander Colonel Ted Petrobory are in the final consultation.
"The MiG-25 of the Red Empire has poses too much threat to us," Steve said. "Since our blackbird was shot down, we have never conducted reconnaissance activities in the Far East. Now, our Kitty Hawk aircraft carrier formation has arrived in the island country. Our first mission is to suppress the MiG-25 of the Soviets."
"No one can take advantage of our Tomcats." Colonel Ted said: "Our lads are ready."
"The Pentagon has given us a maritime exercise to show our force, but Commander Jonard instructed us to select the Eastern Pacific as the location of the exercise," Steve continued: "A drill like this is a waste of fuel and has no effect! I decided that our exercise location will be set in the Sea of Japan."
Lieutenant General Jonard Williams, the commander of the Seventh Fleet, is simply a coward. What are you afraid of? The entire aircraft carrier formation of our side has great combat power. Now that we want to show off our military power, we will of course choose to be in the Sea of Japan! Even if we fight with the Pacific Fleet of the Soviets, we will not be afraid, let alone the Soviets do not want to fall into a full-scale war with the United States. We will definitely restrain ourselves. We are also on the east side of the midline of the Sea of Japan, so we don’t have to worry about the threat from the Soviets at all.
If the Soviet MiG-25 fighter jets came, they could just have a contest! This silent contest occurs almost every day on the front line of the US-Soviet confrontation.
Although we have to obey the orders of the commander of the Seventh Fleet, once we reach sea, Colonel Steve, as the captain of the aircraft carrier, has the power to command the entire aircraft carrier formation and change the course, which is completely possible.
Hearing Steve's words, Ted stood up, looked at the carrier-based aircraft on the deck, and looked at the dock again, a car was moving over, he said lightly: "Okay, I agree completely."
The combat effectiveness of an aircraft carrier is reflected in the carrier-based aircraft. As the flight wing captain, his authority is often greater than that of the aircraft carrier captain. For example, this time, when the exercise area is changed privately, the aircraft carrier captain must be affirmed by the flight wing captain before he can issue an order.
Colonel Ted was also full of fighting spirit. He had heard about the situation on the island country, which was completely shameless by the Soviets. He hit his own ep-3 electronic reconnaissance plane and completely detained it. Not only did the plane not be returned to the United States, but even the personnel above refused to deliver it. It is said that the crew had already gone to a mountain in Siberia to work as miners, and they simply did not take the Americans seriously!
The experience in the past six months is almost a shame. Those guys from the Air Force have too bad combat power. At critical moments, they have to rely on the navy! Let your Tomcat fighter jets abuse the Soviet MiG-25. Ted was already imagining what expression the other party should look like when the AG-9 radar of your Tomcat fighter jets locks on the MiG-25.
"Report, the Lieutenant General is here." At this moment, the cabin door of the combat command room was opened, and the deputy captain came in to report.
The Lieutenant General is here? The two of them stood up at the same time and looked outside. They saw a burly middle-aged man in a navy uniform walking in, carrying a shining star on each other's shoulders.
"Lt. General Jonard." The two shouted in unison, and they were also muttering in their hearts, what will the lieutenant general do in this time? At the welcoming ceremony a few days ago, the lieutenant general had already seen his warship. Moreover, the meeting was just held at the base this morning. The lieutenant general was so excited?
"Two, I'll bring my bedding roll to the warship. You won't mind how many days I, a bad old man, come to stay on the warship, right?"
When they heard Jonard's words, both of them secretly shouted in their hearts that it was not good. Oh no, why did the Supreme Emperor come?
US aircraft carriers are an important manifestation of the power of beauty. Many times, more senior officials will be welcomed on aircraft carriers, and naval commanders at all levels will often come to aircraft carriers to participate in missions.
Of course, these officials knew their responsibilities and did not easily interfere in specific combat tasks, but... the two of them had just planned to detour the Japanese Sea for exercises and deterrence, and they were completely ruined. With the commander of the Seventh Fleet, how could they dare to change their course!
"Of course we welcome, Lieutenant General Jonard, I have already sent someone to clean your cabin." Steve said. The aircraft carrier left the cabin for the senior personnel dispatched by the superiors on the bridge, and it has been kept clean.
"Okay, then I'll stay for a few days and participate in our exercise." Lieutenant General Jonard said: "Come on as planned, I'm here to visit." xh:2182o413
