It's another refreshing morning, and the warm sun shines on the dewdrops, reflecting a beautiful light. The air is also filled with the fragrance of flowers, which makes people feel a hundred times more energetic.

Well, in fact, Otowa still wanted to continue fishing for a day today, but before she could go out, Arisa came straight to the door.

By the time Otowa reacted, she was already in Arissa's car.

Forget it, let's let go of the fishing thing first, and then touch it after the game, and the naval battle project is also not allowed to be lost.

Thanks to the efficient ctOS, the traffic conditions in the 22nd century were simply good, and it didn't take long for the two to reach the pier.

Just like the last time Otowa visited, the dock dedicated to war games was full of ships, and all sorts of warships were coming in and out, and it seemed quite busy.

"By the way, did you buy a new ship?" Otowa tilted his head, and continued, "I remember the weight of the naval battle project was quite high. ”

"Not yet, but don't worry, Otowa, I've borrowed a boat from a friend for us to practice. ”

After Arisa finished speaking, she patted her chest proudly.

This guy's social skills are really strong, and the last time she attended the awards ceremony, Otowa felt that there was no one in the audience that she didn't know.

And now it's even more awesome, millions of ships say to borrow it, which big dog daughter did this guy deceive?

"Here we go, this is the boat we're going to use in the race. ”

"Oh?"

Looking from where Arisa was pointing, Otowa saw a somewhat familiar battleship.

The size of this ship is very large, and if Otowa is not mistaken, the displacement of this thing should have exceeded 10,000 tons.

There are two triple turrets in the front and rear of the hull, and the 12 main guns are quite dazzling in the sun.

Around the bridge of this ship, there are also 6 twin secondary guns, the elevation angles of these guns do not look small, they should all be high-level dual-purpose guns.

Since the various characteristics were so obvious, Otowa guessed the identity of the ship at once.

"Cleveland. ”

Otowa had seen this thing in the previous national tournaments, and Martina used it for ground attacks, and the 12 "6-inch machine guns" made a big impression on Otowwa.

The Cleveland class is the first type of light cruiser with the largest number of single stages built by the USN during the war, and is an improved version of the previous Brooklyn class.

Of the 52 ships that were expected to be built at that time, 27 were actually built, and none of them were sunk until the end of the war. In addition, nine Cleveland-class aircraft carriers have been converted into Independence-class aircraft carriers.

Although this thing is a light cruiser, the tonnage is not light at all, and the full load displacement even goes to 14,000 tons, far exceeding the treaty heavy cruiser.

In fact, it is not the tonnage that distinguishes a heavy cruiser from a light cruiser, but the caliber of the main guns on board. For example, the Mogami was launched with a 155mm gun, so it was classified as a light cruiser, but after being replaced with a 203mm gun, it instantly became a heavy cruiser.

Of course, although Cleveland uses 152mm guns, it is not inferior to heavy cruisers in terms of firepower, and the rate of fire of MK16 naval guns is as high as 8-10 rounds per minute, and the fire projection density of a single ship is even close to 120 rounds per minute, which is completely worthy of any opponent of the same tonnage.

In addition to firepower, the Cleveland-class air defense capability is also extremely powerful, in addition to 6 twin 127mm high-level dual-purpose guns that can fire VT shells, there are also 12 40mm Bofors cannons and 20 20mm Erlikong cannons.

Like many U.S. imperialist warships, this thing was modified with a missile launcher after the war, but the War Games Alliance didn't use it.

Under Arisha's leadership, Otowa boarded the ship without any problems.

The Cleveland-class was much larger than the Schoon-class and Tenryu-class that Otowa had been in before, and it looked more aesthetically pleasing—at least it finally had a decent bridge.

"Shizuku-chan, I'm here~"

After Otowa finished speaking, he pushed the gate of the bridge open with all his might.

Shizuku was sitting in the captain's seat, flipping through his notebook.

After hearing the voice behind her, she slowly turned around and set her eyes on Otowa, who had just entered the door.

"Well, welcome back......"

Shizuku's voice wasn't loud, but Otoba, who was an Force warrior, could hear it clearly.

It seems that Shizuku has changed a lot during this time, and if it were the same as before, she would definitely end the topic in an instant with a hum word.

"How's the ship ready?"

"Ready to go. ”

"Alright, gather the crew and get ready to go to sea. ”

It was a pity that such a majestic warship stayed in the harbor, and the vast sea was where she should go.

"Otowa, why don't you go to the ship first and take a look at something?"

Arisa wasn't as fast as Otowwa, but now she felt the bridge.

"No need. Otowa shook his head, then said with a smile, "This ship also had Oarai before, and I'm quite familiar with it." ”

While the two were chatting, Shizuku on the side had already started to make contact.

"Engine room, start the boiler. ”

"Now, yes!"

The girls in the engine room weren't too surprised by the sudden departure to the sea, after all, they had become accustomed to Shizuku's style during this time.

The ship's boiler doesn't just turn on, and even if the War Games Alliance has optimized the participating ships, it will still take some time to get the ship to start.

Needless to say, the girls on the ship took the initiative to go to their jobs after hearing the sound of the boiler running.

It didn't take long for the 11,800-ton light cruiser to move and slowly drive out of the dock where it was moored.

The Cleveland class's power system was extremely powerful, and with a 100,000-horsepower boiler propulsion, the boat's speed soon exceeded 30 knots.

"Otowa, let's go to the artillery first, we'll be able to get to the training ground soon. ”

"I'll see you later. ”

After greeting the two, Otowa set off for the fire control room.

That's right, Otowa now doesn't have to shoot the cannon himself, and he can comfortably blow the air conditioner in the fire control room.

Although there are many more weapons on the ships, the operation has become much more simplified. Otowa only needs to enter the corresponding command on the panel, and he can directly control the ship's 4 main turrets to attack.

Of course, such an improvement in Otowa raised his hands in agreement, when he was in the Tianlong level and the Zhanshou level before, there were several gunners for a few artillery, and it was too difficult for everyone's shooting parameters to be unified.

"That's how it should be......"

Otowa wasn't all fishing during this time, but she still learned a lot of things, including how to control the equipment in the fire control room.
