"Your Excellency, Commander, 'Pennsylvania, the wounds of the Ship are not severe! Gun No. 2 was destroyed, the bow part of the ship was slightly flooded, and the watertight compartment was closed! "Fleet Chief of Staff Edward. Lieutenant General Abor to William. Admiral Benson reported. Such damage was not fatal to the battleship Pennsylvania, which had a displacement of up to 33,000 tons, and it did not even cause much damage to the combat power. Although the loss of one main gun reduced the firepower by a quarter. But the remaining three twin 381mm guns are still very strong!

William. Admiral Benson nodded, and although the damage to the battleship Pennsylvania was not severe, the attack of the carrier-based aircraft of the Chinese Navy had caused him a great shock. It was the first time he had seen an aircraft attack on a capital ship, and that small toy-like thing had such a powerful lethality against the capital ship. If it hadn't been for the 'Pennsylvania, the battleship had been lucky enough to avoid three of the four torpedoes, and now' the Pennsylvania, the USS might have been heavily damaged or even sunk! In addition, when the No. 2 main turret was destroyed, fortunately there were no shells or shè medicine in the barrel, otherwise there would have been a martyrdom just now. If that's the case, 'Pennsylvania, the ship must have been battered!'

Although the carrier-based aircraft of the Chinese Navy did not continue to attack the battleship Pennsylvania, William . Admiral Benson's heart still sank little by little. The Pennsylvania battleship had good luck, but the other battleships didn't have as much luck as the Pennsylvania battleship. After being besieged by carrier-based aircraft of the Chinese Navy, these battleships were heavily damaged and even sunk!

At 2:28 p.m., the Chinese Navy's four Osprey, Torpedo attack planes and Fish Eagle and dive bombers laid siege to the U.S. Navy's battleship USS Missouri. Four 'Osprey, torpedo attack planes dropped torpedoes only six hundred meters from the battleship 'Missouri'. Four 450-mm medium torpedoes rushed at high speed towards the battleship Missouri. A distance of six hundred meters would take only thirty seconds for a torpedo with a speed of thirty knots. Despite the evasion of the 'Missouri,' there was no escape. Of the four torpedoes, only one torpedo shè missed, and the other three all hit the battleship 'Missouri,'. A torpedo hit the stern of the battleship Missouri, not only blowing off the rudder, but also tearing open the armor directly under the waterline of the stern, creating a hole more than two meters long. 'Missouri, the damage management crew on the battleship immediately closed the watertight compartment.

But the sea water that poured into the battleship was already up to hundreds of tons! The second torpedo hit the rear side of the Missouri, also blasting a large hole more than three meters below the waterline. The icy sea water poured into the battleship, and the huge opening directly made the damage management personnel helpless. The third torpedo hit the battleship 'Missouri'. However, the thick waterline armor protected the 'Missouri, and the battleship's torpedo did not penetrate the armor. However, after eating two torpedoes, the battleship 'Missouri, had already suffered heavy damage, because there was too much water, the hull had already tilted slightly, and the speed had been greatly affected!

But the doom of the battleship Missouri did not end there, and while the battleship was dodging torpedoes, the four Fish Eagles overhead, dive bombers began to attack. The four planes entered the dive channel from an altitude of 1,000 meters, began the dive at an angle of 60 degrees, and dropped bombs until the battleship was only 400 meters away from 'Missouri, and then pulled up the nose. As a result, the four planes flew almost past the mast of the battleship Missouri and almost hit the battleship. However, their adventures also paid off with great results! Of the four 560-kilogram heavy aerial bombs, except for one that did not hit the target, the other two hit the target, and one was a near-miss! One of the bombs hit the bridge of the USS Missouri, and the 280 mm thick bridge armor could not withstand the bombs dropped from the height and was directly penetrated. Dozens of US Navy officers, including the captain of the ship, were all killed, and none survived. Another bomb hit the chimney behind the middle of the battleship, which was blown off, toppling and smashing the ship's superstructure. At the same time, the inability to discharge the toxic gases caused the sailors in the boiler room to be poisoned alive, and the speed of the battleship began to decrease further. With 'Missouri,' the fatal wound on the battlefield was the near-miss bomb. The bomb exploded only ten meters from the Missouri. The tremendous pressure created tore through a massive hole more than three meters long in the underwater armor of the Missouri. The sea water poured into the battleship frantically, and there was no way for the damage management personnel to plug the loophole. At the moment! ・Li, the battleship, has been injured a lot, and the damage is also very strict! The officers, including the captain, were killed, and the command became chaotic. In such a situation, they simply cannot organize a forceful self-help!

Five minutes later, the battleship was flooded with too much water, and the hull had already tilted. Fleet Commander William. Admiral Benson saw this and issued it

'Missouri, the order of the U.S. Navy officers and sailors aboard the battleship to abandon the ship. A few minutes later,

'Missouri, the battleship fell to the surface of the sea and slowly sank into the sea.

Of the more than 900 crew members on the battleship, except for more than 200 people who escaped, the rest of the people sank to the bottom of the sea with the battleship. And the battleship Missouri became the first battleship to be sunk in this naval battle!

The U.S. Navy's battleship Pennsylvania had a huge displacement and was the largest of all capital ships. Of course, it will be attacked first by the carrier-based aircraft of the Chinese Navy. 'New Jersey, the battleship was also hit by several 'Ospreys, torpedo attack aircraft and several from the Chinese Navy

'Fish eagle, dive bomber siege, but,' New Jersey, the battleship had better luck, dodging a few torpedoes unharmed, while the anti-aircraft fire on the battleship shot down two torpedo attack planes. One of them exploded in the air by a volley hit by Gao Shi's gun, the other was damaged and had to make a forced landing in the nearby waters, and finally the pilot who fell into the water was rescued by the Chinese ships that arrived on the water. And several 'Fish Eagles, bombs dropped by dive bombers were also dodged by the 'New Jersey, battleship, only one aerial bomb hit the foredeck, but did not inflict fatal damage on it!

'Iowa, the battleship had the worst luck, he was in the middle of the queue and was besieged by 12 Chinese Navy torpedo attack planes and 8 'Fish Eagle', dive bombers. During the attack, at least a torpedo and 4 no bombs hit him! Even the battleship Iowa, with a displacement of more than 30,000 tons, could not withstand such a fierce attack. After the Chinese Navy's carrier-based bombing was over, the battleship Iowa had already burst into flames and began to sink gradually. During the siege, the hull of the battleship 'Iowa' had been damaged in several places. Even if the watertight compartment is closed, it will not help. At 2:42 p.m., the battleship 'Iowa, sank to the bottom of the sea, becoming the second battleship to be lost by the U.S. Navy in this naval battle!

'The battleship Alabama was also besieged by more than a dozen carrier-based aircraft of the Chinese Navy, eating two torpedoes and a bomb. Although the hole was successfully plugged, the hull had already been tilted by 15 degrees, it was heavily damaged, the speed dropped to only 5 knots, and the combat power was greatly affected, and it was no longer suitable for further fighting!

'Massachusetts, the battleship had better luck, and at the end of the queue he was besieged by only a few planes. Moreover, the anti-aircraft fire on the battleship was very strong, forcing the carrier-based aircraft of the Chinese Navy besieging the battleship to drop bombs in advance, and finally the battleship Massachusetts escaped this attack without danger. It is the only one of the six Pennsylvania-class battleships of the U.S. Navy that has not been injured!

In addition to these six battleships, the U.S. Navy's Nevada-class, battleship battleships are also the target of key attacks. 'Nevada-class, the battleship is modeled after the U.S. Navy's 'Iron Duke' class, battleships, a total of six were built. This kind of battleship has a full load displacement of up to 30,000 tons, and is equipped with 5 twin 343 mm main guns, which is very strong, and does not need the Chinese Navy's 'Han class, the battleship is poor. But in the face of the siege of the carrier-based aircraft of the Chinese Navy, the losses are still huge!

'Nevada, the battleship ate a torpedo during the battle, was slightly wounded, and its combat effectiveness was slightly affected. 'Oklahoma, the battleship ate three torpedoes and two heavy aerial bombs, struggled on the surface for more than twenty minutes and sank into the sea. 'Arizona, the battleship was hit with two aerial bombs and a torpedo, two main guns on the foredeck were destroyed, and a large hole was blown near the waterline, going into several hundred tons.

In addition to these capital ships of the US Navy, the capital ships of the British fleet were not spared. In particular, the largest battleship, Queen Elizabeth, became the target of siege by more than a dozen carrier-based aircraft of the Chinese Navy. Despite the fact that the battleship 'Queen Elizabeth, the battleship was hit by two torpedoes and an aerial bomb during the battle, and although it did not sink, it was also heavily damaged and lost a large part of its combat effectiveness! rt
