Romanian Eagle

Although at this time due to the sound of the air defense alarm, the British soldiers rushed to their posts one after another. The warships parked in the port are desperately burning up the boilers, but the small warships are fine, and it is impossible for the large warships to start without more than an hour of preheating.

Because now whether it is using oil or coal, it is a steam turbine, and this requires enough pressure to drive the propeller to rotate, and it is usually preheated in advance if you want to sail (the kind that starts when a car is ignited, It can only be a warship powered by a diesel engine, which is basically a first-class boat).

So now they found the Romanian plane and couldn't move at all.

Although the air defense facilities of the port, as well as various warships, have been continuously spraying fire, trying to deter their attacks. But in the face of such an opportunity, how could the incoming Romanian fighters let it go.

I saw that with the command of the pilot plane, a squadron of dive bombers came over the three aircraft carriers. As if she knew what she was about to encounter, the aircraft carrier was desperately shooting out ammunition with its own anti-aircraft firepower.

On the USS Fury, four or five of the 12 2-pounder anti-aircraft guns were firing continuously. In fact, as long as you pay attention to the observation, you can find that except for the air defense positions that are firing at full force, the air defense firepower on the warship is only about four layers. The reason is very simple, because ammunition was not placed in advance on the air defense positions of warships. It was only after the air defense alarm sounded that the sailors moved out. (Warships are parked in the port, and ammunition needs to be stored.)

And there are not enough air defense personnel on the warship, and many crew members are ashore. After all, this is not a voyage, and can only stay on the ship. Although it was wartime, it was impossible to keep all the crew on board. They also need to rest and relax, after all, they are humans, not machines.

Faced with such weak firepower of its air defense, Romanian carrier-based aircraft will naturally not be polite. The two dive bombers began to attack it. I saw the fighter jet with its whistle sounding, and it began to dive down at an almost vertical angle. The 500-kilogram aerial bomb under the belly was so chilling.

Knowing that the danger was coming, Furious Cry opened fire desperately to shoot it down. It's just that they will do what they want. The two diving fighters quickly entered the attack height. The indicator light on the instrument that can drop bombs jumped from red (prohibited) to green (allowed), and as the pilot pulled the handle of the bomb , the two 500 kg aerial bombs fell straight to the Fury.

With the acceleration of the plane and the two huge bombs of their own weight, they fell with everyone's expectations.

boom

The splash of a bomb that fell next to the aircraft carrier caused everyone on the ship to break into a cold sweat.

The other one fell directly on the deck, and the bomb that penetrated the deck exploded in the hangar.

Sadistic explosions will tear the aircraft in the hangar to shreds. It also detonated its stored ammunition and aviation fuel depots, which was a disaster for the Rampage, which was converted from a large cruiser. The violent chain explosion blew a big hole on the side of the ship, and the fierce influx of sea water made the hull of the wrath return to tilt.

Faced with such a dangerous situation, the stop-loss team could only bite the bullet and block the gap while pumping water, hoping to give themselves time for rescue.

And did the air strike planes give them a chance?

Two more dive bombers attacked, this time with two 500kg bombs hitting the bow and aft decks. These two 500kg bombs completely made the aircraft carrier lose hope. Because of its violent explosion, the stop-loss team suffered heavy casualties, even before the work started, and more importantly, the gap became larger.

But the commander of the air raid didn't know, so it was two dive bombers again. This time, they were no longer carrying 500kg bombs, but 1000kg bombs, and threw them down at the wrath that had lost its resistance. Two one-ton aerial bombs directly blew off the keel of the Furious aircraft carrier. The wrath of the devastating blow began to break at a speed visible to the naked eye.

When dealing with the Fury, another professional aircraft carrier, the Royal Ark, also suffered heavy losses.

Unlike the Rampage, the anti-aircraft firepower on the Ark Royal is much stronger. It is equipped with 16 (8 double mounted) 45 times caliber 114.5 mm high-level dual-purpose guns, 48 ​​(6 8 mounted) 40 mm rapid-fire anti-aircraft guns, 32 (8 4 mounted) 12.7 mm anti-aircraft machine guns, Only a third were firing. Although the number of fires was small, it immediately attracted the attention of air strike fighters with its ferocious firepower.

Up to nearly a dozen bombers were bombing continuously, and such violent bombing made the aircraft carrier unrecognizable. The anti-aircraft firepower has almost been lost. This is when the torpedo planes show their talents. I saw eight H57 torpedo planes divided into left and right wings and quickly approached at low altitude.

For torpedo aircraft, its casualties have always been the heaviest among all types of aircraft. Because the torpedo class wants to put more torpedoes, it must not be higher than 200 meters, and it must maintain an average speed. Therefore, the requirement of fixing the dead line makes the torpedo machine the most vulnerable when releasing the torpedo. Moreover, because of the torpedoes it carries, the torpedo aircraft has become a thorn in the side of anti-aircraft firepower, and it needs to be solved first.

This time, it was fortunate to deal with the Royal Ark, which had no anti-aircraft firepower, but even so, it still caused the loss of one of the eight torpedo planes. I saw a low-altitude approach, aiming, maintaining the speed, laying down the torpedoes, and the straight 6 torpedo lines rushed towards the aircraft carrier (one did not float).

At this time, a light cruiser did not know whether to panic or die, and suddenly broke into the torpedo array. I saw two sounds of Boom. The light cruiser was hit by two torpedoes. The huge explosion tore off two major gaps in its hull, and the turbulent sea madly poured into its cabin. You don't need to look to know, it's useless.

In addition to these two torpedoes, the remaining four torpedoes were still heading towards Ark Royal. Seeing the white lines emerging from the bubbles of the four torpedoes, the remaining officers and soldiers tried to use their weapons to blow them up, but it was doomed to be futile.

Boom Boom Boom

I saw three explosions coming from the stern and the middle of the boat, especially the two explosions in the middle, which blew a gap of more than ten meters in the hull. The turbulent sea water did not give people any time to react, and immediately roared and poured into the cabin. Inside. The turbulent water flooded many cabins immediately, and the attack of three torpedoes was enough to get the order of the Royal Ark.

As for the only British aircraft carrier HMS Eagle converted from a battleship, it is somewhat comical. As the only aircraft carrier that retains torpedo tubes, the Romanian Air Raid Force would like to say that it hopes that all large warships will have torpedo tubes, because it will bring surprises.

The Eagle, for example, was a great surprise, which made the otherwise non-lethal 500-kilogram bomb have devastating results, and its aircraft carrier was blown out of a gap that could accommodate small warships.

At this point, the three aircraft carriers of the Mediterranean Fleet have all been destroyed, and it is the turn of the battleships.
