Chapter 1308 Mighty Baltimore
In the early days of World War II, the maritime air defense forces of various countries were quite average. This situation lasted for a long time. This was mainly because the combat locations of the two sides who had just started to participate in the war were a bit special. The German Navy's operations in the Atlantic Ocean were no different from pirates, whether they were surface ships or submarines. In this way, the German Navy's actions were trying hard to avoid fighting with the British Royal Navy in the North Atlantic Ocean. The naval battles in Norway were almost without aircraft carriers and stopped with the war on the European continent. The naval battle in the East Mediterranean was a bit special. Many of the attacks were launched in the Eastern Mediterranean islands, including the incoming war in Italy too hastily, so the serious naval battles were only a few. After the naval battle in Cape Matapan, the main ships of the Italian Navy almost stopped their activities due to lack of oil.
When the Pacific War broke out, the air defense of warships in various countries was very ordinary. The British Prince of Wales battleship and the counterattack battlecruiser at that time were not the best in the world at that time, but as a result, both main battleships were sunk by roadbed aircraft of a certain island country. The situation where this warship was not very strong air defense lasted for a while. Later, with the advancement of radar technology and the large-scale use of VT fuses, this resulted in a qualitative improvement in the air defense of Allied naval warships, especially large warships. Among them, the United States did the best among the Allied forces, which was the United States, and this situation continued until the high fat man crossed.
The Baltimore-class heavy cruiser was historically a heavy cruiser in the post-treaty era of the United States, and it was also the first heavy cruiser built by the United States after breaking away from the restrictions of the treaty. One of the outstanding features of this heavy cruiser is its excellent air defense. It can be said that in the US Navy, this heavy cruiser has an air defense capability second only to fast battleships such as North Carolina, South Dakota, and Iowa. Historically, this heavy cruiser was mostly used for the escort of aircraft carriers in wars.
It can be said that at this time, the compound sea monster focused its attack on the fleet composed of seven Baltimore-class heavy cruisers as the core. The seven Baltimore, which had excellent air defense capabilities, can also use fusion skills. In this case, attacking Baltimore will never have any good results. What's more, these seven Baltimore-led heavy cruisers fleets are all fleets composed of American warships. One of the outstanding characteristics of American warships is its strong air defense. Instead of attacking this fleet, it is better to attack the heavy cruiser fleet of fair forces. Due to the constraints of the hull in the treaty era, whether it is the seven Kent sisters or the four London sisters, the problem is not small.
Baltimore, who led the Iron Blood Force heavy cruiser fleet, sent a message to the Glorious Ship Girl saying that they do not need the support of the Glorious Ship Girl. The Glorious Ship Girl can focus on other aspects. This is the result of the remote reminder of the Iron Blood King. This is because the US ship girls are a little arrogant. The Iron Blood King does not want Baltimore's arrogance to make the Glorious Ship Girl feel unhappy. The British ship girl's characteristics are also quite clear. If you can not offend, don't offend the British ship girl. This is the experience summarized by the Iron Blood King.
Although the glorious ship girl did not mean to assist Baltimore, she still sent carrier-based aircraft to observe the situation. It can be said that by comparison, you can know that the strength of these seven Baltimores is even stronger than that of the seven Kent sisters and the four London sisters. This is an extremely powerful achievement. You should know that in the sea, the number is extremely important. In the 29th quarter of Nelson's Lufortten Island Battle, even if Schonhorst Gneisenau has complete combat power and does not retreat, waiting for them is only sunk and there is no second way to go. Although the two sisters have an absolute advantage in reputation in their complete state, once the eight prestige of the prestige arrives, the two sisters have no chance of escaping. Even if the displacement of these eight destroyers is less than half that of Schonhorst, with the cooperation of reputation, these eight destroyers are deadly.
The seven Kent sisters and the four London sisters are eleven heavy cruisers. You should know that these two-class heavy cruisers have a deep relationship in history. What is shown in this world is that these two-class heavy cruisers have a very tacit understanding in fighting. From this, we can see how powerful these seven Baltimore are, but this cannot be forced. There are only fourteen Baltimore in total, and there are seven iron-blooded forces. In addition, Baltimore, which is now the two major forces of Justice and Glory, can be said that the two major forces of Honor and Justice are absolutely impossible to form such a powerful heavy cruiser group. Even if all three Des Moines-class heavy cruisers are accumulated, it is not enough.
Of course, the Glorious Ship Girl will not only observe Baltimore. Observing the combat situation of the other two major forces fleets is one of the important tasks of the Glorious Ship Girl in this battle. Of course, the Iron-blooded heavy cruiser fleet cannot be just these seven Baltimores. It is just that other historical battleship-level heavy cruisers do not have the ability to use the fusion skills. However, in comparison, the Glorious Ship Girl thinks that the Glorious Ship Girl should be the most powerful one.
The Honor Power Heavy Cruiser Fleet has three existences that can use fusion skills. Among them, the more powerful ones are the New Orleans-class heavy cruisers and the Kaohsiung-class heavy cruisers. The remaining Aoba-class heavy cruisers are relatively average in the strength of the remaining Aoba-class heavy cruisers. Not to mention that these three-class heavy cruisers are all in the Honor Power. Unlike Baltimore, these three-class heavy cruisers are all treaty heavy cruisers. Because of the restrictions of the Washington Navy Treaty, these three-class heavy cruisers have some more or less problems. However, overall, New Orleans and Kaohsiung are very powerful. Compared with these two-class heavy cruisers, the Aoba-class heavy cruisers are quite average. There are only two heavy cruisers of this class. Not to mention that the hull is small, this brings many problems. However, as an existence that can use fusion skills, it is relatively true that Aoba is not strong.
