In ship operations, the needs of various operations are different.

For example, if a battleship wants to fight, it is best to turn to the side, so that all its main guns, whether it is the bow or the stern, can turn around and bombard the opponent, and if the opposite side is attacking, then only the front one can be used.

It is also for this reason that France will strangely put all the main guns of its Dunkirk-class battleships in front.

When an aircraft carrier releases and recovers carrier-based aircraft, it needs to take off at full speed against the wind, so that the carrier-based aircraft can fly the fastest and safest.

At the same time, if it is an anti-submarine operation, then it is necessary to go at low speed, take a zigzag route, and repeatedly search the sea surface back and forth.

In this case, it will be impossible for the fleet to take care of all operations.

At this time, the main battleship was using naval guns to bombard, and the aircraft carrier was flying carrier-based aircraft.

On the periphery of the fleet, although the destroyers wanted to carry out anti-submarine operations, they could not keep up with the routes of their own aircraft carriers, and in this way, the formation was somewhat disjointed.

This disconnect creates opportunities for submarines.

It was not only one submarine in Helmut that had already sneaked in, the German Navy had a total of six submarines cruising in the Mediterranean.

This, of course, was due to the fact that Helmut detected the movements of the British warships early and sent back the signal at the earliest, otherwise, the submarines that were far away would not have been able to catch up at all.

Even then, only four submarines had come up, the other two were a hundred nautical miles away, and by the time they arrived, the battle here would have been over.

These four submarines, all the time occupying positions, waited quietly, and Helmut had already guessed the reason why Berlin would not allow itself to attack in the early hours of the morning.

The British fleet and the French fleet fought, and this scene was as hot as it was, how spectacular it was, and in this case, it was not bad for you to watch the excitement from the sidelines.

It was not until they received Berlin's order that they immediately turned to the offensive, and Helmut's submarine was aimed at the Cyclops aircraft carrier.

Now, of course, they're going to do it first! Those aircraft carriers, battleships, are their targets, as long as they take out these, small destroyers, there is nothing to fear.

In this era, the communication of submarines was a problem, and submarines could only send messages on the surface, and Helmut sent a message back to Berlin, which was sent at the risk of being on the surface.

Yes, it is an adventure, the sudden appearance of radio signals will alert the enemy and expose the whereabouts of submarines, and in the history of submarine operations, there is definitely more than one submarine that has been killed because of the telegraph that exposed the target.

Fortunately, this time, the British did not perceive.

At the same time, to receive a signal, it also needs to be at the periscope depth.

For submarines in the World War II era, most of the time, the radio is in a state of monitoring, that is, in a receiving state, anyway, it is not a nuclear submarine, and it will definitely not sail underwater for a long time.

Now they have been in periscope depth, quietly waiting to see a good show, until Berlin sends an order, and they immediately go on the offensive!

The first launch, only one hit, had already caused serious damage to the other side, Helmut did not worry about the safety of his submarine, and ordered to continue to load torpedoes and prepare for the next attack!

And at this time, the British commander, Lieutenant General Somerville, realized that he had made an unforgivable mistake and ignored the underwater threat!

In fact, what he was most worried about was the threat overhead, after all, the bombers of the German Air Force were too powerful, and they swooped down to kill the British warships, so their operation this time was also quite risky.

It's just that he didn't expect that the planes of the Germans did not come, but the submarines came up first!

"Destroyers, what about our destroyers? Immediately launch anti-submarine, immediately deploy! He shouted: "The submarines of the Germans, right near us!" ”

The range of torpedoes was not far, and the submarine forces of the German Navy had always been very bold, and in order to pursue the accuracy of hits, they often preferred to get close to release torpedoes.

Just after the shouting, one of the lookout posts shouted: "60 degrees to the port side, two nautical miles away, a periscope found!" ”

The discovery of the lookout post arrived in a timely manner, and almost after he finished his report, a destroyer next to him had rushed up at full speed, ready to throw anti-submarine deep bombs, which are the most common destroyers and the most common anti-submarine weapon in this era.

At the same time, this destroyer has not yet started, and on the gun emplacements under the aircraft carrier here, the 130 mm naval guns are roaring, and since the opponent is periscope depth, it must not be too far, and their own shells will also pose a threat to the other side.

Regardless of whether you can kill the other party or not, at least scare the other party away first!

In World War II, the strength of German surface ships was weak, and in the end the German Navy could only vigorously develop submarines and create a wolf pack in the Atlantic.

After all, a submarine can never defeat a surface warship, and it can be said that at most, the submarine is just a thief, and can only hide in the dark to make a small move.

Submarines are only a part of the naval arsenal and cannot be used as the main force.

Originally, it was anti-ship operations, and now, hastily changed to anti-submarine warfare, the British fleet, there is some confusion.

The naval guns are already unable to open fire, and if they are hit by torpedoes themselves while firing, it will be more than worth the loss, so make sure that the nearby sea areas are safe first!

The Cyclops aircraft carrier, the injury is not light, although it is only a torpedo, after all, it is only the bottom of the merchant ship, without fighting, at the same time, it is also because the other party's torpedo is too perverted, the power is amazing, and the power is amazing, and the power of the explosion is its three sealed cabins!

The hull tilted, and the entire crew, was working to save the aircraft carrier.

It has lost its combat effectiveness.

Only the Eagle aircraft carrier was left on the side, and at this time, the carrier-based aircraft on the aircraft carrier were hurriedly unloaded with torpedoes and transferred to anti-submarine deep bombs, and they could also participate in anti-submarine warfare when necessary!

And the torpedoes that were dismantled could only be temporarily piled up on the deck, which was a mess.

It was against the rules to do so, but on the battlefield, the situation was urgent, and many of the regulations were ignored.

Even the lookouts set their eyes on the sea, and in addition to the lookouts, there were also a large number of ship's crew, all of whom were on the railings on the outside of the deck, observing the sea.

They ignore the sky!

Germany promised to help the French Navy, then they would have enough to help! At this time, in the Mediterranean, there was no strong German naval formation, and what they could rely on was submarines, and the other, bombers!
