Chapter 1157： scheduling error

On the sea, the Soviet Pacific Fleet was once again relieved.

A two-knife Kyiv-class aircraft carrier Minsk, with more than 20 carrier-based aircraft, actually stunned the two American aircraft carrier battle groups!

In fact, the Minsk is a fox and a tiger, and the one that really stuns the Americans is the Kirov-class nuclear-powered cruiser next to the Minsk!

In the battle in the Mediterranean, the formation of the two US aircraft carriers could not cope with the saturation attack of the Soviet Union. What is even more frightening is that the range of the Soviet anti-ship missiles far exceeded the expectations of the Americans!

It was expected that more than 500 kilometers would be very against the sky. Who knows, in actual combat, they have hit a range of 700 kilometers. God knows how far the Soviet missiles can go!

Therefore, the US aircraft carrier formation can only pull the distance to 800 kilometers! This is almost the attack limit of the US aircraft carrier battle group! At the same time, it is only equivalent to wandering around the sea near the continental United States!

American Admiral Frank, standing on the bridge of the "Saratoga" aircraft carrier, looked at the sailors on the deck and was nervously making arrangements, and couldn't help feeling disappointed.

Due to the sluggish U.S. economy, the U.S. Navy’s funding has also been continuously reduced, and the U.S. has to reduce its daily training expenses. Therefore, the sailors of this aircraft carrier have hardly gone to sea for training in the past year, and at the same time, There is also a serious shortage of training hours for carrier-based pilots.

The US aircraft carrier has lost several ships, and in World War II, it has never happened! The current aircraft carrier is not the latest nuclear-powered aircraft carrier, but a conventional Forrestal-class aircraft carrier with a displacement of only 80,000 tons after modification.

This aircraft carrier was launched in Brooklyn, New York in 1955. After that, it participated in many military operations, such as the Cuban Missile Crisis in the 1960s, the "Six Days War" between Israel and Arab countries, the Vietnam War and so on.

It's just now that it looks a little old. Especially, it has been moored in the port for nearly a year, and the deck is even a little rusted!

How can such a navy compete with the Soviets in an evenly matched battle!

"The No. 1 catapult is faulty." There were constant voices coming from the bridge, and the captain was in a hurry at this time. The aircraft carrier was not well maintained during the berthing period. As a result, many problems were caused, even the catapult Cylinders often fail.

"Use the No. 4 catapult to eject. Note that we are not an exercise now. We are during the war. We must ensure that enough fighters stay in the air and have enough dispatch capabilities!"

What a joke! Now the carrier-based aircraft on the US aircraft carrier can only use harpoon missiles, and cannot shoot outside the fire circle of the Soviet aircraft carrier formation, but the Soviets can calmly destroy themselves!

A certain number of fighter jets are necessary. After all, what they have to face is not just a Minsk aircraft carrier battle group. The Soviet Union has a large number of Tu-22m bombers in the Far East. Those bombers can carry anti-aircraft missiles. Ship missiles!

The scene of overwhelming anti-ship missiles shooting over is fascinated when you think about it.

At this moment, suddenly, a voice on the bridge became more anxious: "Fighter No. 244, Fighter No. 244, go-around immediately, go-around immediately!"

From the porthole here, it can be clearly seen that a Tomcat is preparing to land, and at this time, at the front end of the angled deck, an F-18 fighter is preparing to eject and take off!

Just now, it was originally intended to be ejected from the No. 1 catapult. As a result, the No. 1 catapult failed and could only be transferred to No. 4. No. 2 had been under pressure and was not repaired.

And the No. 4 catapult is on the angled deck!

If you want to take off in the front, you cannot land in the back. Otherwise, if you fail to land successfully, you will definitely hit the front!

It's all a deck scheduling problem!

In later generations, Huaxia's Liaoning was an experimental aircraft carrier, and the number of carrier-based aircraft increased continuously from less to more, which tested the deck scheduling ability.

Even though Asan's aircraft carrier is broken, Asan has decades of experience in operating aircraft carriers, and his scheduling ability is still good.

And now, making mistakes while busy, No. 244 is about to land!

"No. 244 has to land, the fuel has run out, and it cannot support the go-around!" At this moment, No. 244's answer also made the bridge speechless for a while.

How was it scheduled? No. 244 was the first batch to be ejected. As a result, the time left blank was also the longest!

Schedule, schedule! It's only been a year! All the sailors on this aircraft carrier are no longer adapted to life at sea!

"I'll hook the arresting wire," the pilot said over the radio.

At this time, the engine at the rear of the No. 244 fighter jet has begun to ignite unstable! It could go out at any time!

The only option is to risk landing!

The initial glide line is still correct, but when it is about to touch the aircraft carrier, suddenly, an engine has been turned off!

In an instant, the fighter jet deflected to the left! The two engines of the Tomcat are far apart, causing one engine to stall and the other to yaw easily!

And at this moment, it was already too late! The attitude of this Tomcat fighter has been wrong. Although the yaw was corrected in time, the angle of attack of the aircraft was too large!

As a result, the tail of the aircraft contacted the deck first, sparks were wiped out, and then the aircraft buckled to the side and rushed into the parking area on the right!

"Quick, damage control, damage control!" A flustered voice shouted in the radio. In the parking area, there are more than a dozen planes, all of which have been filled with fuel and missiles!

"Boom!" With a huge explosion, the shutdown area has been blasted with a big hole!

Is this still the US Navy that won World War II and ruled the entire ocean? You don't need to fight, you can't even maintain an ordinary daily combat training!

Admiral Frank looked at the busy subordinates on the bridge. His heart was angry and helpless. In fact, when the USS America was sunk, the sea power of the United States had already shown its incomparable vulnerability, and the sinking of two aircraft carriers in the Mediterranean Sea further demonstrated the disadvantage of the US aircraft carriers. In the face of saturation attacks, they did not fight back. Power.

And now, without attacking, you will have this kind of problem!

"Report, urgent telegram from the White House, Alaska, surrendered to the Soviet Union!" At this moment, an adjutant brought the telegram just received.

Alaska is hopeless! After the U.S. troops retreated, the governor fled, and the lieutenant governor, representing the entire state of Alaska, surrendered to the Soviet Union!
