"What about the Navy? How is your preparation done?" President Roosevelt asked.
President Roosevelt paid more attention to the navy than the army. Because the navy will be the main force that will bear the brunt of the confrontation with Germany in this war. The United States wants to defeat Germany in the war, or threaten Germany. Then, the United States needs to ensure that the navy wins in the Atlantic first. Only in that way can the United States send troops to land on the European continent. Otherwise, no matter how powerful the U.S. Army is, it will not be able to cross the Atlantic Ocean to attack Europe.
"Your Excellency, the preparations for the Navy are roughly complete. However, if we want to defeat the German Navy, we need to have a stronger force!" said Admiral Harold Stark, the US Chief of Naval Operations.
"In terms of battleships, we have four 'South Dakota-class' battleships, six 'Iowa-class' battleships, and five 'Montana-class' battleships. In addition, we have obtained drawings of 'Yamato-class' battleships from island countries The new stage of transformation is even bigger and equipped with larger caliber capital ships, and construction has already started. However, it will take time for these new capital ships to enter service!" Admiral Harold Stark said.
Similarly, because of the threat of the German Navy, the warships of the U.S. Navy in another time and space whose construction plans were canceled began to be built in this time and space. This makes the strength of the U.S. Navy even stronger.
"Can our 15 capital ships be able to deal with the capital ships of the German Navy?" President Roosevelt asked.
Harold? Admiral Stark did not answer, but looked to the fleet commander James? Richardson Admiral.
"Your Excellency, although we only have 15 battleships. However, these battleships are the latest battleships. They are more powerful than those old battleships of the Germans!" Admiral James Richardson affirmed answer.
"Is that really the case? Don't forget that the Germans used those old battleships to almost wipe out the capital ship formation of the island navy!" Secretary of the Navy Frank Knox said.
"Yes, Your Excellency Minister. The old capital ships of the German Navy have been refitted and their performance has been greatly improved. According to the analysis of their battles with the island navy, it can be known that the German Navy's capital ships are equipped with electronic equipment. On the one hand, it is very advanced. This makes their shelling accuracy very high. Even in night battles, they have a very good hit rate. This is why they were able to defeat the island navy in the battleship battle. However, the same, the German navy The disadvantages of our capital ships are also obvious. Their hull structures are relatively old and their defenses are relatively low. At the same time, the caliber of their main guns is not as good as our cutting-edge warships, and their firepower is weaker than ours. In addition, in terms of speed, they are also faster than ours. Our battleships are slow. Although we are a little worse than the Germans in terms of electronic equipment, the gap is not too great. Considering all these, our battleship formation still has an advantage!" Fleet Deputy Commander Nimitz entered will say.
Admiral Nimitz's explanation made everyone feel a little relieved. After all, in order to build these capital ships, the United States can be said to have spent huge sums of money. If these cutting-edge battleships can't beat the old battleships of the German Navy, how embarrassing is it for the US government?
"The two fleets of the German Navy in the Atlantic Ocean have 16 capital ships. If they can get the support of the fleet deployed in the Mediterranean, the number of capital ships will be increased to 23. In terms of numbers, we are in the Huge disadvantage. In this case, can we still win?" President Roosevelt asked.
"Your Excellency, the gap in the number of capital ships between us and the German Navy is indeed very large. If possible, it is best to wait until the subsequent new capital ships enter service before going to war with the Germans. But obviously, time is running out. Even so, relying on the superiority of our warships, we may not be without the possibility of defeating the Germans." Admiral Harold Stark said.
President Roosevelt nodded, no longer pursue this issue. He also knew that it would take a long time to build a capital ship. In the case of a gap in the number of capital ships, it is obviously impossible to make up for it in a short time. Only by believing in the performance advantages of one's own capital ship, may one be able to win.
"In terms of aircraft carriers, we have 15 aircraft carriers in service now. Among them, the number of 'Essex-class' aircraft carriers has reached 8. In our shipyard, there are 12 more 'Essex-class' aircraft carriers. The Sussex-class aircraft carrier is under construction. In the next two years, the 12 Essex-class aircraft carriers will be in service one after another. In addition, we use the hull of the 'Cleveland-class' light cruiser to refit the 'Independence-class' Light aircraft carriers have also entered service. The number of these light aircraft carriers has reached nine. This brings the number of aircraft carriers we can use in the Atlantic to 24!" Admiral Harold Stark continued.
"Where are the Germans?" President Roosevelt asked.
Being able to have 24 aircraft carriers in service in a short period of time made President Roosevelt very satisfied. Although, he knew that in terms of performance, he might not be able to compare with the powerful German navy. But he knows that being able to do all this in such a short period of time is already very good.
"The German Navy has 16 aircraft carriers in the Atlantic Ocean. Eight of them are 'Constellation-class' aircraft carriers, and the other eight are the latest 'Lord-class' aircraft carriers in service. According to the information we have received, the German Navy's 'Constellation-class' aircraft carriers It can carry 103 carrier-based aircraft. The "Lord God-class" aircraft carrier can carry 120 carrier-based aircraft. In terms of performance, it is a little more advanced than our "Essex-class" aircraft carrier. Our "Essex-class" aircraft carrier Class 'aircraft carrier, capable of carrying a hundred carrier-based aircraft." Admiral Harold Stark continued.
"The performance gap is not too large." President Roosevelt said.
It can be said that the performance of the US Navy's "Essex-class" aircraft carrier and the German Navy's "Constellation-class" aircraft carrier are similar. However, compared with the "Main God-class" aircraft carrier of the German Navy, it is worse.
However, considering that the German Navy developed aircraft carriers much earlier than the US Navy. It is very good to be able to make up the gap to this point.
