The "Princeton" aircraft carrier, the second of the "Independence-class" aircraft carrier, belongs to the 4th aircraft carrier formation of the US Navy. However, at this moment, the aircraft carrier was billowing with thick smoke. The fire spread on this aircraft carrier, as if the entire battleship was burning.
The sailors on the aircraft carrier are scrambling to get the lifeboat, trying to escape here. However, there are only so many lifeboats, and it is simply impossible to take away more than 1,500 sailors on the aircraft carrier. Therefore, only a very few lucky ones can leave on an aircraft carrier, and others can only choose other ways. As for whether they can save their own lives, it depends on whether God blesses them.
"Woo!"
Six dive bombers once again launched an attack on the "Princeton" aircraft carrier. Six heavy aerial bombs slammed into the aircraft carrier.
Under the effect of the acceleration of gravity, the bomb hit the deck hard with a powerful impact force. The deck armor was easily penetrated, and the shells exploded inside the carrier. The huge power once again made this aircraft carrier more injured.
"Boom!"
Suddenly, a violent explosion sounded. This is when an aerial bomb penetrated the bulkhead of the aircraft carrier and detonated the ammunition in the ammunition depot. The enormous power instantly tore apart the 13,000-ton aircraft carrier.
Sea water quickly poured into the hull along the leak. Soon, the light aircraft carrier sank into the sea.
The carrier-based aircraft of the German Navy began to attack the next target. With the three major fleets of the German Navy dispatching huge carrier-based aircraft, the U.S. Navy aircraft carrier formation is undoubtedly under great pressure. A large number of warships were besieged and sunk, and even aircraft carriers were on fire. These are the assets accumulated by the U.S. Navy over the years! But now, it is easily destroyed by the German Navy's carrier-based fleet.
"God, this is really spectacular. The brave Imperial Navy carrier-based aircraft pilots are making history!" A German Navy carrier-based aircraft pilot said excitedly.
This is the second batch of carrier-based aircraft that took off from the carrier formation of the German Navy's Atlantic Fleet. When they rushed to the battlefield, the carrier-based aircraft from the Home Fleet and the Mediterranean Fleet were raging. Countless U.S. Navy ships are howling and groaning under the attack of German carrier-based aircraft.
"Attack, kill those aircraft carriers of the Americans!" The commander issued an order.
"Attack! Fighter cover, dive bombers and torpedo attack aircraft, looking for opportunities to kill the American aircraft carrier!"
96 fighter jets, covering 144 dive bombers and 120 torpedo attack aircraft, rushed to the battlefield.
"Woo!"
There was a shrill howling sound, and the dive bombers smashed heavy aerial bombs one after another on the US warship.
The torpedo attack aircraft lowered its altitude and released heavy aviation torpedoes one after another.
Explosions continued to sound in the US fleet. Destroyers, cruisers and even aircraft carriers were all destroyed under the fierce German attack. The entire US Navy aircraft carrier formation is facing an extremely serious life-and-death crisis at this moment.
"Your Excellency, this place is no longer safe, please get out of here!" The captain of the USS Essex said to Admiral Nimitz.
When several aircraft carriers in the 2nd aircraft carrier formation are either sunk or are under siege, the 1st aircraft carrier formation will immediately become the target of the German attack. If Admiral Nimitz stays on the "Essex" aircraft carrier again, it will undoubtedly be very dangerous.
Admiral Nimitz was not without stubbornness. Surrounded by officers, he boarded the traffic boat and headed for a light cruiser. Lieutenant General Halsey went to another light cruiser. The reason for this is to avoid being overwhelmed by the German Navy's carrier-based aircraft.
"General, the aircraft carrier 'Hancock' was sunk. The Germans hit the 'Hancock' with at least 30 aerial bombs and 15 heavy torpedoes." A staff officer said to Nimitz with a frustrated face. The Admiral reported.
Admiral Nimitz nodded, and another "Essex-class" aircraft carrier was sunk, which severely damaged the strength of the US Navy's aircraft carrier formation.
It's just that today is destined to be a catastrophic day for the US Navy. Admiral Nimitz is not even sure how many aircraft carriers they will lose today.
The German carrier-based aircraft are still looting. Moreover, the air search radar showed that there were still German carrier-based aircraft groups coming.
Ten minutes later, the second batch of carrier-based aircraft of the carrier formation of the German Navy's Mediterranean Fleet arrived on the battlefield.
48 fighters covered 56 dive bombers and 56 torpedo attack aircraft arrived on the battlefield. They immediately joined the attack on the US aircraft carrier formation.
The addition of these new forces has put more pressure on the US military.
What's more terrible is that a few minutes later, the second batch of carrier-based aircraft of the carrier formation of the German home fleet also arrived. 96 fighter planes covered 144 dive bombers and 120 torpedo attack planes to the battlefield.
"God! Are the Germans really going to use their carrier-based aircraft to drown all our aircraft carriers?" Seeing the densely packed German carrier-based aircraft appearing in the sky again, an American general couldn't help feeling a little desperate.
Under the attack of a large number of German carrier-based aircraft, the U.S. military has suffered heavy losses. Moreover, it is destined to pay a very heavy price under the attack of these carrier-based aircraft of the German army.
"It's over, we are over. Our main force will definitely be wiped out by the Germans. We have completely failed in this naval battle!" Another American general looked frustrated.
Before the war started, or when they left the military port on the east coast of the United States, the generals, officers and soldiers of the US Navy were full of confidence in winning. They believe that the U.S. Navy is powerful. Even if the German navy is stronger, they are not helpless in front of the German navy. As long as they are lucky, they can still defeat the German Navy.
However, the result of the current battle gave them a slap in the face, awakening them from their fantasy, and letting them know that the strength of the German Navy cannot be challenged by an upstart like the US Navy.
One after another, warships were sunk, including huge aircraft carriers, which plunged the entire U.S. Navy into despair.
