The opening aerial battle has concluded, and thanks to the luck of Andrea Doria, two Deep Sea Battleships have been hit and sunk. The enemy is left with only Deep Sea Tirpitz and a damaged Deep Sea Aircraft Carrier.
However, even in this situation, Nelson does not dare to let her guard down.
"Boom!"
A massive column of water shot up into the sky beside Nelson, splashing her from head to toe. She brushed her damp hair aside and squinted slightly, her expression intensely focused as she locked onto the damaged Deep Sea Aircraft Carrier.
Compared to the somewhat inexperienced Andrea Doria, the first-generation Nelson, who once competed with Silver Dawn and Richelieu for the position of Naval Headquarters and Three Admirals, possesses far richer experience and is more adept in tactics.
Rather than wasting the first round of bombardment on the nearly invulnerable Deep Sea Tirpitz, it would be wiser to prioritize sinking the more significant threat to them, the Deep Sea Aircraft Carrier.
The four unique Nelson-class Shipgirl 16-inch guns rotated, their dark muzzles all aimed at the Deep Sea Aircraft Carrier.
"Boom!"
Almost simultaneously, four shells, gleaming with a silvery metallic sheen, were fired from the gun muzzles, heading straight for the Deep Sea Aircraft Carrier. The tremendous recoil from the cannon caused Nelson's body to jolt backward momentarily, and the propellers on her feet kicked up a thousand splashes.
"Missed." Despite this outcome, Nelson felt no disappointment. At extreme range, the hit rate of main gun fire is notoriously low. Moreover, although her 16-inch guns boast a firepower of 26 points, issues with the gun's structure severely affected shooting accuracy.
Not only did Nelson miss, but the long-range bombardments from Yamashiro and Guam also proved ineffective.
Although the main gun range of the Fleet Girls is significantly shorter compared to that of a real Ironclad, their engagement distance with Deep Sea Shipgirls is also considerably less than that of actual warships. However, the targets have also become much smaller, so the hit rate of the naval guns has not increased significantly.
As a result, there was a time when a corrupt politician with ill intentions shouted at the headquarters of the World United Government, demanding that various national governments stop funding the Admiral Alliance and allow their warships to take over the defense zones of the Naval Base. He aimed to completely sever ties with Naval Headquarters and cut off all resource supplies from Campbell Island, intending to force all Fleet Girls to submit to humanity.
His argument was based on the belief that the super long-range capabilities of Ironclads could easily defeat Deep Sea Shipgirls. However, anyone with even a little military knowledge knew this was impossible, so the World Government did not approve his proposal.
Nevertheless, some people believed his claims. At that time, the Four Nations Island Government in Eastern Pacific Asia acted on this.
As a result, when Deep Sea Shipgirls attacked, Ironclads began large-scale bombardments from a great distance against the Deep Sea Fleet. However, their abysmally low hit rate meant that these bombardments did not achieve much. By the time the warships closed in on the Deep Sea Shipgirls and the hit rate of Ironclads improved somewhat, they thought they could finally repel the Deep Sea Shipgirls! But they forgot that closing distance also brought their warships into the firing range of the Deep Sea Shipgirls.
For such large warships, there was no question for Deep Sea Shipgirls about whether they could hit or not. Thus, a massive fleet composed of over twenty various types of warships was nearly annihilated by the Deep Sea Shipgirls.
In the final moments, if it weren't for those Admirals and Fleet Girls who had been nearly destroyed by Four Nations Island Government's Destroyers putting aside past grievances, Akihabara, the largest city on the western coast of Four Nations Island, would have been completely flattened by the artillery fire from Deep Sea Shipgirls.
"Andrea Doria, do not attack Deep Sea Tirpitz yet; aim for the Deep Sea Aircraft Carrier instead." After two rounds of bombardment, neither Nelson, Yamashiro, nor Guam managed to hit the Deep Sea Aircraft Carrier. Meanwhile, its flight deck was already re-covered with Carrier-Based Aircraft.
Compared to the extremely low hit rate of Deep Sea Tirpitz's 406mm main guns, these Carrier-Based Aircraft posed a far greater threat to them.
As for waiting for support from Aircraft Carrier Ship Girls' Carrier-Based Aircraft in the rear, that was simply unrealistic.
In terms of both the number of Carrier-Based Aircraft carried and those that could be launched at one time, Aircraft Carrier Ship Girls were far inferior to Deep Sea Aircraft Carriers. Therefore, if they did not completely destroy the Deep Sea Aircraft Carrier during the opening bombardment, it would be very difficult for Aircraft Carrier Ship Girls who had already lost many Carrier-Based Aircraft in subsequent aerial battles to regain air superiority.
Thus, encountering Deep Sea Battleships on the battlefield is not terrifying; what truly troubles Fleet Girls are these often highly developed Deep Sea Aircraft Carriers. Of course, this does not include Deep Sea Battleships like Deep Sea Tirpitz.
"You have no right to command me!" Although she said this, Airi still turned the cannon aimed at Deep Sea Tirpitz towards the Deep Sea Aircraft Carrier.
The four 14-inch guns roared in an instant, but unfortunately, Loli did not maintain her previous high hit rate; all four shells fell into the sea surrounding the Deep Sea Aircraft Carrier, creating towering waves. However, this did not affect the Deep Sea Aircraft Carrier from launching its Carrier-Based Aircraft. Amidst the dense sound of propellers, a swarm of Carrier-Based Aircraft rushed towards the distant Fleet Girls' Combined Fleet.
"Everyone, pay attention to anti-air!" Nelson shouted.
At the same time, a large wave of Carrier-Based Aircraft gathered above Lexington and others in the back.
This is not a game; as long as the Aircraft Carrier Ship Girls' Carrier-Based Aircraft are not destroyed, they can continue to fight after returning to refuel and rearm.
"What shameless numbers," Fubuki couldn't help but comment.
This was because three-quarters of the aircraft in the sky belonged to Lexington and Saratoga, while she and Feng Xiang combined only accounted for a quarter of the total.
In fact, it should be Feng Xiang who was more deserving of criticism. This veteran Aircraft Carrier Ship Girl had a pitiful total capacity of only 20 aircraft. If it weren't for this, how could a Light Aircraft Carrier Girl that had been around for 52 years possibly be rated as Rear Admiral? At the very least, she should be at that rank.
Watching their own Carrier-Based Aircraft rushing through the sky, Nelson let out a long sigh. Perhaps it was because she was used to working with Feng Xiang and Fubuki. She almost forgot that standing behind her this time were not two pitiful Japanese Fleet Girls with fewer Carrier-Based Aircraft, but two American aircraft carriers.
As the Carrier-Based Aircraft from both sides clashed in the sky, the battle officially entered a heated phase.
Carrier-Based Aircraft transformed into fireballs as they fell from the sky, and on the surface of the sea, whether it was Destroyers, Light Cruisers, Heavy Cruisers, or Battleships and Battlecruisers, all aimed their cannons at the lonely Deep Sea Tirpitz after the Deep Sea Aircraft Carrier was destroyed by Saratoga's Carrier-Based Aircraft.
