Chapter 1619: The impact of severe sea conditions

In fact, this is a very normal situation. There have been many battles of this kind in history. The most typical one is the battle of Nelson on the 29th. That battle has made many warships famous. In history, this happened in Norway. As part of a series of naval battles, the development of the matter was that the HMS Prestige battlecruiser brought nine destroyers to blockade the Norwegian coast. However, due to the bad sea conditions, a British crew member fell into the sea because there was no battle at the time, which made the Firefly The destroyer US left the formation to look for the crew members who fell into the water.
Firefly encountered two German destroyers who came to support Norway while searching for the overwhelmed crew. The two sides had a naval battle and notified the large ship behind. For various reasons, the two German destroyers turned to Hipper. The heavy cruiser Admiral moved closer to the side and fought. To be precise, the two German destroyers were smashed by fireflies.
The heavy cruiser Admiral Hipper soon arrived at the battle area and fought fierce battles with the fireflies. The fireflies faced the heavy cruiser Admiral Hipper, which had a displacement ten times larger than itself. After half an hour’s battle, Firefly repeatedly tried to strike Hipper by lightning and failed, but he was hit by Hipper. Several shells were damaged. In the end, the Firefly lost control and ran into the heavy cruiser Admiral Hipper. The collision directly broke the bow of the Firefly and soon sank, but it also caused the heavy cruiser Hipper to enter hundreds of tons of sea water. Captain Meyer of the heavy cruiser Admiral Hipper admired the heroic passage of the Firefly. The Cross applies for a medal for Captain Firefly.
Reputation and the other eight destroyers went to the firefly report area at full speed after receiving the firefly report, but because of the long distance and the bad sea conditions at that time, when the reputation reached the firefly report position, there was nothing. At this time, the firefly Having sunk, the remaining personnel were rescued by the Admiral Hipper heavy cruiser, and the reputation without any target led the other eight destroyers to return to the area required by their previous mission, but some accidents occurred at this time.
Because of the bad sea conditions, the prestige was yaw, and the prestige was sailing at a speed of more than 20 knots. The other eight destroyers were unable to reach the speed of more than 20 knots because of the bad sea conditions, which made the reputation and eight destroyers. Gradually out of touch, under such circumstances, two targets were found on the prestige radar. These two targets are Scharnhorst and Gneisenau, because the prestige radar is much better than Scharnhorst Gneisenau. , This made the prestige attack when the two German ships discovered prestige.
At that time, the two German ships were in bad condition. One radar malfunctioned, and the other one shook its rangefinder when the main gun fired. During the battle, although both sides had hits, they didn’t explode. Coming, the prestige shells have seriously affected the German ships. At this time, because the visibility is not very good, the prestige fired three rounds every time. In addition, the reputation was changed to the same as the Nelson-class battleship. The box-shaped bridge made the two German ships think that they were encountering the battleship USS Nelson. After some battle, the two German ships retreated, and the prestige chased for a while and lost the target and retreated.
This time, the battle under severe sea conditions can explain the problem. If the eight destroyers of the prestige are not left behind, the two German ships will definitely not have the guts to fight with the prestige, that is, when there are eight other destroyers. Two German ships will definitely be sunk without a second result, and because of the bad sea conditions, these eight destroyers cannot keep up with the speed of prestige, but this also involves the issue of ship recognition. Germany recognizes prestige as Nelson. The UK is not much better.
At first, the British thought they encountered two Hipper Admiral-class heavy cruisers. Later, during the battle, the British recognized Gneisenau in front but still recognized Scharnhorst behind as Hipper. Admiral-class heavy cruiser, this is also the reason why the reputation dared to exchange fire with the two German ships and later dared to pursue them after the two German ships retreated.
From this naval battle on Rufutten Island, it can be seen that there is no difference between fast battleships and slow battleships in bad sea conditions. Under normal circumstances, the eight destroyers are faster than the prestige, but under such sea conditions, the prestige is only more than 20 knots. The eight destroyers All outdated made it happen that the prestige faced Scharnhorst Gneisenau alone. This time the battle is actually the same. The selection criteria for the fleet led by the Richelieu sisters is that the hull should be large enough. Many destroyers have been brushed down. This is not because these destroyers are not powerful, but in the face of severe sea conditions. These destroyers can’t speed up quickly and will delay the speed of the entire fleet. The current selection is still problematic~EbookFREE.me~These The destroyer is very reluctant even at a speed of 20 knots, and the effect that the next battle can exert is even more problematic.
In fact, this is also the first time that the three Richelieu sisters fought with a slow capital ship. Normally, because of the fast speed, the three Richelieu sisters have always been in a fast capital ship. This is the first time for the three sisters. Acting with those slow capital ships, this time the commander is not the three Richelieus but the Queen. The three Richelieus do not have experience in fighting such monsters. Command will cause problems. In fact, the most suitable command is Veneto, however, due to the huge contradiction between the French navy and the Italian navy, the Queen had to come out to command. In fact, the Queen's nerves are tense in such a battle, and it is easy to command things like this.
Naturally, Veneto has no experience in fighting such monsters, but the Roman warships have them. The Roman warships are the first batch of warships in the world. For the Romans warships, she has participated in all battles. With such monsters in harsh sea conditions Although the battle is rare, it is not uncommon. The experience of the Roman ship maiden is the experience of Veneto. Through the combined skill Veneto can ask the Roman ship maiden to make adjustments, but because of the problem of the French ship maiden and The issue of the Italian ship mother made Veneto’s task now to assist the four sisters in Iowa to analyze the monster's situation.
The battleship that followed Richelieu’s three sisters did not have a tall and fat warship. The tall and fat Colorado and Howe were all incorporated into the fleet behind by Mrs. Lex. Howe and Colorado had to wait until the combined forces of Maryland, West Virginia and Royal Oak. Prince Eugen of the North Association of the Two Sisters came here. This was arranged specially by Mrs. Lex and to prevent accidents.
