After World War II, battleships have withdrawn from the stage of history, and the era of relying on powerful armor and artillery has gone, but making their warships stronger has always been the goal pursued by the navy.
As a super giant at sea, the same is true for the Nimitz-class aircraft carrier. The steel used for the aircraft carrier is hy100 copper alloyed steel with the highest strength. Copper is added to the steel, thereby improving the corrosion resistance and strength of the steel. Improve welding The yield strength is as high as 690mpa. This kind of steel is mainly used for aircraft carriers. It is used as a strategic material by the United States and has never been exported.
The aircraft carrier made of this hard alloy steel is quite sturdy, but it is also vulnerable in the face of heavy missiles weighing several tons flying in at Mach 2.5!
There is no need for a semi-armor-piercing warhead or a gathering warhead, just an ordinary 750kg high explosive, which is enough!
"Boom!" With the loud explosion, the Eisenhower was blown open with a big hole. However, the double-layered hull prevented the missile from blowing up the structure inside.
It's okay, there's more to come!
Then, the second missile has also flown, it is definitely not a coincidence, in the designed attack mode, it is going to get into the hole torn by the first attack!
At this time, the explosion of the first missile, and the fuel that did not finish burning, brought a terrible fire to Eisenhower! The fire spread rapidly in the cabin.
"Boom!" The second missile went in through the opening just now and exploded inside the hull!
The hull inside was torn open, and the fire spread rapidly towards the hangar!
An aircraft carrier must carry a large amount of fuel and weapons if it wants to continue fighting, and now, when the second explosion occurs, the USS Eisenhower has no possibility of saving it!
Nimitz-class aircraft carriers have many advanced structures, such as the hull below the hangar deck is an integral watertight structure. The double-layer hull is made of high-strength steel, and the middle layer is a water tank and foam fire-extinguishing equipment. This structure can protect the whole ship in the case of serious damage to the hull. The whole ship is equipped with 23 watertight transverse bulkheads and ten fireproof bulkheads, which can maximize the safety of the aircraft carrier.
However, in the face of the p-700 missile, these are all paper! When the explosion begins, when the fire begins to spread, no warship can avoid the fate of sinking!
The damage control personnel were still working hard, trying to put out the fire that had just ignited, but the third missile completely put them off their minds.
"Boom!" The third missile followed the opening just opened and drilled into the middle of the hull. The explosion here instantly caused the huge Nimitz-class aircraft carrier to break almost completely!
Yes, it is broken! The front and rear have been divided into two parts, although the strongest deck above is still connected, but the bottom has been divided into two parts!
Under great pressure, the middle began to sink, and the top deck, towards the middle, was slowly folded in half.
The Eisenhower can't be saved!
At the same time, another Constellation was also struggling in this storm.
More than 40 p-700 missiles are a disaster for the US aircraft carrier formation!
Dual aircraft carrier battle group! Since the end of World War II, they have been showing off their might on the ocean, fighting whoever they want, and now, they have finally paid the price!
In war, people will die, not only the enemy will die, but they will also die!
Constellation, suffered two p-700 missiles, but it is still holding on! The hull has already tilted, and the captain is still making his last effort to save the warship.
It's not over yet!
In the distance, the interceptor fleet also encountered great trouble in intercepting 20 missiles fired by the Kirov-class cruiser.
These p-700 missiles are definitely not as easy to intercept as the last p-500 with straight ballistics!
When they were found to be intercepted, they also started a snake-like maneuver, and a large wave of Phoenix missiles were thrown away!
"These missiles must not be allowed to pass!" Pilot Asius, after getting the news that his missiles did not hit the target, his eyes were extremely firm and he pushed the nose of the plane.
"Jack, let's skydive," said Ashes.
The radar operator in the rear cabin was stunned for a moment: "Asius, what are you doing?"
"I can't let these missiles fly past, I'm going to knock them down!" Asius said: "You skydive, there's no time left!"
parachute! Jack pulled the ejection handle, and with the impact of the airflow, the cockpit cover was pushed open, and he followed the seat and left the fighter.
And Asius, who had already put down his mask, felt the airflow around him, like a knife being cut. Although the front windshield was still there, the airflow around him was also very strong His attitude was very firm.
The aircraft carrier has been destroyed, and most of the fighter jets they have launched into the sky are out of fuel, and they cannot return to the land base at the rear!
And these flying missiles will cause their fleet to lose even more!
Freedom, democracy, the creed of the American people, but now, they are here to fight this inexplicable war! The conversations that came from the radio were still revolving in Ashes' mind.
The US Navy is to safeguard the interests of the United States, not the interests of the Jews!
In the field of vision, the missile is getting bigger and bigger, and these missiles flying at Mach 1.7, one by one, seem to be fighter jets.
The bullets for the cannon are gone, there is only one option!
Pushing the joystick, the graceful Tomcat and a P-700 missile on the opposite side delivered a kiss of death!
In the late World War II, the islanders used suicide attacks in order to avoid failure. At that time, they were scolded as militarism. Now, in order to avoid these missiles posing a threat to their own aircraft carriers, Asius also made suicide attacks!
Behind Asius, other determined pilots also made the same choice!
Responsibility, honor, bravery, is the creed of the United States Naval Aviation! That year, in the Pacific War, the U.S. Navy sank four aircraft carriers, leaving only one USS Enterprise, which still persisted and survived the most difficult 1942!
A century of navy, spiritual inheritance!
It's just that their spirit cannot change the fate of the aircraft carrier formation. In modern warfare, technology has become the decisive factor for the victory or defeat of war!
"Damn, save some for Lao Tzu!" At this time, at the place five nautical miles from the US aircraft carrier formation, a periscope was raised, looking at the battlefield ahead, Nilgayev was extremely depressed.
