Chapter 1150 The establishment of the aviation fleet 3
”Damn, don't you? They can still deliver goods at this time?” The prince's first reaction was not frustration and disappointment but shock! This TM is amazing! The British have restored the North Sea blockade and can enter and exit freely under the blockade of light cruisers and auxiliary cruisers. This is really amazing! You can simply assist the cruiser to block the blockade by speed, but after joining the light cruiser, what do you do? !
”It is said that they also rely on speed, but they run faster.” Earl Schelling said embarrassingly.
”Fuck, are they transported by battlecruisers?” As a senior naval person, the prince knew exactly how much things were behind this light sentence. In theory, the fastest large and medium-sized ships running on the sea in this era are light cruisers and destroyers. Generally, new light cruisers can easily run 25 knots. Generally, cruise ships can’t get off. What's more, this is a heavy cargo ship loaded with hundreds of trucks, tractors, a large number of accessories and metal ingots!
”Where is this ship?” The prince was really interested in this stuff now.
”Just in Wilhelmshaven, on the civilian berth, you can see its mast standing here.” The count said, pointing in the general direction.
”Go, let's go and see.” The prince said.
”No wonder I can run past the light cruiser. I bet that the weather must be bad when this ship entered the North Sea!” After Earl Schelling was accompanied to the port, the first thing that caught the prince’s eyes was the ship named Chicago. The huge square stern of the transport ship No. The square stern is very effective against wind and waves, and the balance is unusually good. The last British battleship Avantgarde with a square stern was used by this type of stern. In the exercise in the Atlantic, this battleship performed very well in wind and waves.
”His Royal Highness the Crown Prince welcomes you.” The captain of the Chicago Firth personally introduced himself to this distinguished guest, this proud fast ship.
”This high-speed transport ship under the Morgan Consortium was born for war transportation. This ship with a length of 190 meters and a maximum width of 32 meters has a tonnage of 21,000 tons. But don't underestimate the speed of this behemoth. He is It is designed to transport high-value materials such as cars, tractors and various machinery, so it must be able to break through all obstacles on the sea. Relying on 18 small water tube boilers and 4 steam turbines, this ship has an output of more than 56,000 horsepower , The maximum speed can reach 25 knots or more,”
”Of course, if this is the only case, there is no guarantee that it will be foolproof. What this ship can really honor is its high-speed sailing ability in high sea conditions. For example, this time, we seem to have encountered a cruiser. The other party’s highest speed is sufficient. With 27 knots or more, we watched as we were getting closer and closer. As a result, God bless us. When a storm came, we could still sail at a speed of 23 knots or more, and the other side was almost overwhelmed by the waves. Your Highness, you didn't see the sadness of the British at that time.” Felt said triumphantly.
