Carlos class warship is based on the later Caldwell class destroyer. Behind the bridge of Caldwell class destroyer, there is an iron mast about 30 meters high. Above the mast is a radio antenna. At the position about 20 meters away from the deck, there is an observation post, where the observer will observe the surrounding sea.
In the era of no radar, this kind of observation post set up at high altitude is essential. Looking at the hand at height, you can see a distance of about 16 kilometers.
The Yanhuang tribe naturally has no radar now, so this kind of observation post is also essential, which is the "eye" of the whole warship.
Although the Navy officers and men of Yanhuang tribe have hardly conducted real naval combat, their training is not bad at all. Moreover, when the stone bear established the Navy, it clearly stipulated the service time of navy soldiers.
Navy soldiers serve twice as long as army commanders! The service time of Army soldiers is three years, but the service time of navy is as long as six years.
After all, the professionalism of the navy is much higher than that of the army. The purpose of such a long service time is to ensure that naval soldiers can receive long-term training, so as to ensure the quality of naval officers and men.
It's like this observation hand is specially trained.
In this era of no rangefinder, it really takes a lot of training to see the distance of enemy ships at a glance on the sea without any reference.
During the training, these observers were trained near the mouth of the Bay after going out to sea by inland river armed transport ships. The refitted inland river armed transport ship will also be installed with an observation post of the same height, and then the observation hand will conduct observation distance training on it.
This kind of training will last for a long time until these observers can accurately judge the distance between the target and the ship. Well, it's worth mentioning that the so-called "accuracy" means that the error of observing a target 15 kilometers away should be controlled within 100 meters!
It is no exaggeration to say that the training of observation hand is even more difficult than the training of gunner!
Today, the boss of the tribe went to sea in person. The observer on the Carlos is naturally the best in the whole navy.
When the stone bear heard the news, he frowned tightly, but he just hesitated and said, "karu, ask the observer, how many boats are there?"
Karoo, a Shawnee, joined the fourth division when Norfolk began to build, and later signed up to join the Navy. After more than ten years of hard work, he has now become the glorious captain of the Carlos.
Soon the news came down. Kalu put down the phone and said, "great son of God, chief, the observer said there are five ships over there. Because the distance is too far, it is impossible to determine which country's ship it is, or whether it is a merchant ship or a sail warship."
Stone bear's fingers on the steel console point a few times, and then decisively said: "send a signal to other warships, let's get close to it, no matter which country's ship, whether it's a merchant ship or a warship, kill that small fleet for me, as for the personnel, no one left!"
Stone bear did not expect that he would encounter ships from other countries, but as long as it is a sailing ship, it must be a ship from Europe.
Now these nine steel warships are not the time to appear in front of Europeans. Since they have met, it's their own misfortune. For the sake of secrecy, these five ships must not be left!
And if they can find the five ships, they must also find their own fleet. After all, this kind of steam powered warship has four big chimneys with thick smoke. Once it starts, even if the warship itself can't be seen, the black smoke can be seen from a long distance.
Since we can't get rid of them, we'll kill them!
At the command of the boss, all the soldiers in Cambridge were excited.
Obviously, the boss is going to kill the five ships. This is a real naval battle! How long has it been for the navy to expect such a good thing?
The harsh sound of the alarm sounded all over the warship, and the soldiers on the Carlos were busy.
After transmitting the boss's order to kill the five ships to the other eight warships by radio, even though they are 300 meters away from each other, the stone bear seems to be able to feel the excitement of the soldiers on the other eight warships.
In fact, the stone bear himself is a little excited. It's a naval battle!
Although it's not the kind of battleship to ship mutual fire in later generations, and there are no precision guided missiles, Shi Xiong still feels a little excited.
What happened to the nine warships that I worked hard to lead the Chinese people to build? It's time to thoroughly examine them in a moment.
The watchers kept reporting the news, and the five ships opposite obviously found this "strange" and smoky fleet, and the five ships were probably very curious about this kind of ship that could run on the sea without sails, so the five ships actually took the initiative to approach.
The stone bear is speechless about this way of seeking his own death.
Now that you are here, don't leave
When the fleets of both sides drew close to about 12 kilometers, the message of the observer hand came back.
"It's the fleet of the French and the Spanish. It should be two windsurfing battleships escorting three armed merchant ships..." karu reported the news to Shi Xiong.
The stone Bear looked at Adrian Carlos beside him. Carlos shrugged his shoulders and said, "chief, you don't have to worry about what I think. I've been out of the kingdom of Spain since those damned guys tried to get me on the gallows. Now I live happily in the tribe. The new world is my home and the tribe is my country. "
The stone bear smilingly drew a big thumb at Carlos, and then ordered: "Karoo, inform other ships to deal with the five ships according to your usual training way! Remember, none of them
Kalu excitedly grabbed the phone and began to give orders. Then it didn't work for a minute. Through the bridge window, the stone bear clearly saw that the dual 105mm main guns of all his warships began to rotate.
As the captain of the Carlos, Kalou's face became serious, and a series of orders were sent out from his phone.
This Navy type dual 105mm cannon has a longer barrel length, so its range is also improved. According to the test, the effective range of the dual 105mm cannon can reach up to 12 kilometers. Although if the pitch angle of the barrel is adjusted to the maximum, the shell can still hit farther, but the accuracy cannot be guaranteed.
Now, the distance between the five sailing ships and the fleet has reached 12 kilometers, which is within the precision strike distance of the warship's main gun.
As for the 76mm auxiliary gun, the effective range is not so far, so the 76mm auxiliary gun has not moved for the time being.
