The Yorktown class was commissioned on the eve of World War II, and the first two ships, the Yorktown and Enterprise, participated in fleet relief exercises. After the outbreak of the Pen, Fun, and Cabinet www.biquge.info War, the Yorktown was transferred to the Atlantic for a neutral cruise, the Enterprise remained in the Pacific Fleet, and the Hornet was built in a hurry. The Enterprise narrowly escaped the attack on Pearl Harbor, and all three ships were transferred to the Pacific Ocean in early 1942. In the early days of the Pacific War, the three ships participated in the raids on the Marshall and Gilbert Islands, the Battle of the Coral Sea, and the air raid on Tokyo. The only time the three ships fought together was at the crucial Battle of Midway in the same year, in which the Yorktown was sunk due to battle damage. After the Battle of Kuah Island began, the USS Enterprise and the USS Hornet were active in the Southwest Pacific Theater, and the USS Hornet sank in the Battle of Santa Cruz, making the USS Enterprise the only U.S. aircraft carrier in the region for a time. With the Essex class entering service, the Enterprise returned to China for maintenance in 1943 and later participated in most of the U.S. counteroffensive campaigns, making it the most decorated U.S. warship in World War II. After the war, the Enterprise was mothballed for a long time and sold and dismantled due to the failure of the donation plan, which caused great repercussions among the officers and men of the Navy. The name Enterprise was eventually inherited by the first nuclear-powered aircraft carrier, and continued into the 21st century as a Ford-class aircraft carrier.

Soviet-made weapons

Light weapons continued (in United States dollars)

Many comrades will ask why it is so expensive to manufacture simple Soviet guns in large quantities, one of the reasons is that Soviet weapons focused on reliable performance and mass production, and due to their socio-industrial system, the requirements for cost were not too high; Moreover, the Soviet Union is rich in natural resources, so the Soviets can use rare metals that seem expensive in other countries to plate the barrel....... For example, the barrel and chamber side of the Bobosha submachine gun are chrome-plated and rust-proof.... Ordinary countries don't dare to think about it...... Moreover, many weapons in the USSR had wooden structures, which also raised the cost to a certain extent.
