Chapter 259 Essex Departure
Chapter 259 Essex Departure
That’s right, the latest news came from the shipyard in Nanxun Port that one of the two aircraft carriers has been launched.
It is the Essex-class aircraft carrier, also known as the dumpling-class aircraft carrier.
The Essex-class aircraft carrier has a displacement of tons fully loaded.
It is powered by magic crystals and has a maximum speed of 40 knots.
It can carry up to 103 carrier-based aircraft.
Leon has been preparing for this new toy for a very long time.
More than 200 modified Stuka bombers were prepared in advance.
Equipped with a landing hook, it has the ability to land, and the engine power is enhanced, allowing the Stuka bomber to reach take-off speed faster.
Initially Lyon planned to manufacture the Stuka C, which was originally intended to be used as a carrier-based aircraft on Zeppelin aircraft carriers.
After all, folding-wing carrier-based aircraft can allow aircraft carriers to carry more carrier-based aircraft.
Enhance the aircraft carrier's ground strike capability.
At the same time, in addition to these more than 100 carrier-based aircraft,
还有12门双联127毫米舰炮,以及40毫米高炮68门,20毫米高炮55门。
Wu De is very abundant.
As soon as the aircraft carrier set out to sea, Lyon got the news and immediately took Balian directly to Nanxun City.
Without caring about Queen Sif's dinner party, Barian took Leon to teleport directly.
Nanxun Port.
The sudden appearance of the two startled everyone, and the port's magic detection alarm sounded instantly.
The guard force responsible for guarding Nanxun Port immediately surrounded them, but they were dumbfounded when they saw that it was Lyon.
However, Lyon's attention is not here now. Lyon is staring at the Essex-class aircraft carrier that is leaving Nanxun Port for sea trials.
Looking at the aircraft carrier heading towards the sea at dusk, Leon shed a few tears for some reason.
The soldiers standing by were somewhat confused.
Only Leon knows the significance of an aircraft carrier to himself as a time traveler.
A century-old navy is just empty talk without an aircraft carrier.
The aircraft carrier in the previous life came into being after going through untold hardships. In this world, I must let Dayan’s aircraft carrier fill the entire ocean!
Dahai: Don’t come over here!
When the people at the shipyard received the news, they initially thought that it was because the leader was not informed, and the leader was a little sad.
Everyone lowered their heads.
When Leon saw everyone, he realized that he had lost his composure.
Then he spoke.
"It's okay, there's sand in my eyes. What are the data of the aircraft carrier?"
Everyone felt relieved and started to speak.
"At present, the aircraft carrier is operating normally and has met the indicators on the drawings.
Leader, rest assured, the Dayan Shipyard will definitely make the Dayan Navy shine in the world!"
Leon nodded and said affirmatively.
"Thank you for your hard work. Thank you for your contribution to Dayan."
Everyone suddenly felt a little embarrassed, this was praise from the leader!
While everyone was chatting, a carrier-based version of the Stuka bomber was flying from a distance.
Lyon knew that he was a little anxious, but the expedition was imminent, so he had to be anxious!
The pilot of the Stuka was none other than the Air Force ace pilot Allen, and the co-pilot was none other than Air Force Marshal Karl.
Carl's presence is to ensure that if there is an accident, Allen can be protected immediately and to protect the aircraft carrier from being damaged.
At this moment, everyone in the port was watching this scene.
Many workers who had just got off work were looking at the aircraft carrier outside the cordon.
I couldn't help but wonder what kind of ship this was. It was so huge!
Some sharp-eyed people saw the flying Stuka and the runway on the aircraft carrier, and immediately realized that this huge ship was used for landing aircraft!
Many people don’t understand, and some people seem to understand but not quite.
But they all looked at the scene in front of them at the same time.
Witness this historic moment.
Watching the Stuka flying lower and lower, approaching the aircraft carrier.
Everyone understood what was going on, and at the same time they were worried about the pilot.
Can I land on it? The deck looks this big...
Allen looked at the aircraft carrier sailing on the sea in front of him. This was the only home for carrier-based aircraft...
Can I succeed?
During airport training, only the deck area is drawn on the runway for training.
But now that the actual combat had finally begun, Alan would be lying if he said he wasn't nervous.
Alan took out the necklace hanging around his neck and looked at the word "Viya" on it.
Then he stuffed the necklace back and started landing in the Stuka.
I will definitely succeed!
He had done the 300-meter extreme pull-up and the Hartmann roll, so could he not do the landing right now?
The Stuka approached the aircraft carrier little by little.
The naval soldiers on the deck of the aircraft carrier were also extremely nervous when they saw the Stuka flying towards them.
On the bridge, Chester looked at the Stuka in the air, his heart in his throat.
Come on, let us all witness this historic moment!
Alan maneuvered the Stuka down and landed steadily on the aircraft carrier.
The landing hook firmly hooked the arresting cable, and the Stuka bomber landed steadily on the aircraft carrier.
The naval soldiers on the aircraft carrier burst into cheers instantly.
The workers and civilians on the shore also cheered.
Although they didn't know what the aircraft carrier was used for, they were shocked by the sudden fall.
And these air force and navy soldiers who guard the Dayan sky deserve their respect.
They gave their applause without hesitation.
Listen to the cheers from the aircraft carrier and the cheers from the crowd near the port in the distance.
Alan finally let go of his worries.
I succeeded!
The navy soldier excitedly picked up Alan and threw him up.
But Carl, who was sitting in the passenger seat, had a look of resentment on his face.
Why don't you hug me? Just because I'm an old man?
Watching the Stuka bomber land safely.
Lyon smiled and said to everyone in the shipyard.
"The aircraft carrier in front of us is the result of everyone's hard work, and we are all from Nanxun City. In this case, the first aircraft carrier of Da Yan should be named Nanxun!
Dayan will not forget any of the people who have made contributions! You deserve to be remembered!
And I will have the Navy engrave the names of all the staff who participated in the construction of this aircraft carrier on the aircraft carrier's wheelhouse!
Your names will shine with the aircraft carrier!"
Listening to Leon's words, everyone was stunned for a moment.
They didn't expect that the leader would be so kind to them. For a moment they didn't know whether to cry or laugh.
Lyon looked at the people in front of him, and at the aircraft carrier in the distance at dusk. In his heart, he had already determined the specific date for the war between the East Elf Empire and the West Elf Empire...
After dealing with the shipyard, Leon returned to the East Elf Empire with the help of Balian and went directly to Sif to discuss the start date of the war with the East Elf Empire...
(It’s Friday already (o﹃o ) Will things get better tomorrow (o﹃o ))
