The advantage of a submarine is that it is underwater, not on the sea. Even if the submarine has many anti-aircraft guns, it will be beaten to the plane.

The 10,000-ton warship is equipped with so many anti-aircraft guns and so thick armor, and still has to kneel in front of the dive bomber, let alone a submarine.

The slut made the right choice, but he couldn't beat him, but he couldn't escape?

Unfortunately, when he ran away like this, he was even more confirmed by others.

"They are going to dive! Where are our reinforcements?" Chris asked.

They no longer have anti-submarine weapons. Now, when the other party sneaks into the sea, they may run away at any time. As time goes by, the more they want to find it, the less it will be.

"Call the Taylor, call Taylor, the target submarine has dived and is about to slip away!" Schroeder in the rear cabin shouted loudly to the radio.

Soon, an echo came from the radio: "Please keep searching. The Lexington has taken off the support plane and is about to arrive!"

Because German submarines appear in the Pacific, threatening the United States' hegemony in the Pacific, the United States dispatched a large number of naval forces to capture German submarines under the sea.

At this time, the Lexington aircraft carrier formation was sailing in a formation near the waters where Chris was located, only more than 100 nautical miles. After receiving the alarm, the Lexington immediately started emergency operations.

The Lexington, an early American aircraft carrier, was modified from a battleship.

It started construction as a battle cruiser in January 1921, but according to the 1922 Washington Navy Treaty, all the "Lexington" class battle cruisers of the US Navy were suspended. The US Navy decided to convert the most progressive USS Lexington and "Saratoga" into aircraft carriers CV-2 and CV-3.

It was launched in October 1925 and officially put into service in December 1927.

This is a large aircraft carrier with a straight-through deck with a full load displacement of more than 36,000 tons, which is ahead of the curve in the whole world.

The 271-meter-long flight deck looks extremely wide. At this time, at the back of the deck, a series of SBD fearless dive bombers were quickly preparing to set off.

The greatest power of an aircraft carrier is carrier-based aircraft, and carrier-based aircraft needs to be replaced according to the attack mission.

For example, if it is an air defense mission, it requires fighter jets and attack missions, and bombers are needed, while attack surface fleets and attack submarines are different bombs.

It is impossible to dock all aircraft on the deck, and it is even more impossible to place the bombs you need. In short, deck operation is a very serious and challenging topic. Only after years of operation can efficiency be improved.

Fortunately, there is no big problem now.

The US Navy originally carried out anti-submarine operations. Their decks were all dive bombers, and the bombers were all anti-submarine deep bombs.

As a professional bomber, the main arm of the Fearless aircraft is a bombshell no more than 1,600 pounds hanging below the centerline of the fuselage and a 100 pound bomb or deep-water bomb under each wing. Now, all mounted deep-water bombs are all mounted.

Now, after receiving the news of discovering the submarine, they immediately dispatched.

"Going to the wind, at full speed, prepare to release the carrier-based aircraft!" Captain Colonel Sherman gave the order.

The huge warship drew an arc on the sea surface. The warship turned thirty degrees and began to accelerate in the wind.

In the middle of the starboard side of the hull, black smoke continued to blew from the thick chimney, and the boiler was burning violently. Five minutes later, the main engine reached a maximum power of 180,000 horsepower, and the warship of more than 30,000 tons sprinted to 33 knots.

take off!

On the deck of the aircraft carrier, a fearless bomber accelerated forward towards the shaking deck centerline.

The 1000-horsepower Wright xr-1820-32 "cyclone" engine drives the three-blade variable pitch propeller and bursts out the maximum thrust. Under the deck's headwind, it accelerates rapidly and accelerates. Before it reaches the front of the deck, the pilot pulled the operating rod and the bomber flew up from the deck!

The big deep-water bomb under the belly of the machine looked extremely dazzling.

One after another, the Yorktown did not retain it, and released all the 26 SBD bombers it carried!

No one knows that the conflict between the US Navy and the island navy began with this incident. There was no deep hatred between the two sides. A small misunderstanding actually caused a huge conflict.

All this can only be attributed to God's arrangement.

When competing for the carrier-based bomber contract, Northrop targeted the layout of monoplanes, believing that although this type of aircraft has poor low speed capabilities, it is definitely a future trend.

As a result, they bet right.

The biggest advantage of a single wing is that it has a fast flight speed. Even if it is a bomber, it can fly to a speed of 400 kilometers per hour. As an aviation weapon, it has always been developing towards higher and faster.

The group of fearless bombers flew quickly towards the target sea area, and soon, they met with the lonely water reconnaissance aircraft.

"The goal was to disappear fifteen minutes ago. Even if they use the maximum underwater speed, they can only sail a few nautical miles. I suggest that a intensive bombing is carried out." Chris contacted the arrival fleet in the radio.

The submarines do not sail fast underwater. According to their existing knowledge, only five or six knots of speed, so the other party must still be underwater here!

"Understand, please pay attention to each bomber and throw 100 pounds of deep water bombs in sequence in order!"

26 bombers lined up in the air in a large square formation, each with five long aircraft cruising at high altitudes.

They flew over the target smoothly.

“First row, release!”

“Second row, release!”

With the command of the long aircraft, the bomber carried out a round of carpet-style coverage bombing, successfully covering half of the sea!

Then, turn around in the airspace ahead and cover the other half of the airspace!

Generally speaking, when an aircraft throws deep bullets, they don’t see the ghosts or strings. Only when they confirm that the opponent is below will they throw bombs. Now, this kind of carpet-like cover throwing is more like the practice of surface ships.

"Plop!" The first deep bomb fell into the water.

Round waves appeared on the sea surface, spreading outward. At the same time, the sound of splashing in the water was spreading in all directions as the waves spread. The sea water is a good medium of sound and can be transmitted far away.

For submarine soldiers, this is the voice that they least want to hear.
