USS Lexington (CV-2), the lead ship of the U.S. Navy's Lexington-class aircraft carriers, takes its name from the first shot fired in the American Revolutionary War: the Battle of Lexington in 1775. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

USS Lexington, with a standard displacement of 36,000 long tons, adopts a closed bow and single-story hangar design, with an all-through deck length of 271 meters, and can carry up to more than 100 carrier-based aircraft (the design capacity is 78 aircraft, including deck mooring and hangars, and the number of carrier aircraft was later expanded to 109 by hanging spare aircraft on the top of the hangar), and the design maximum speed is 33.25 knots (the maximum speed at sea trials in 1928 was 34.59 knots).

Due to its original design as a battlecruiser, the hull protection and sinking resistance were comparable to cruisers. It was built with four twin 8-inch guns until it was dismantled in April 1942.

It was ordered to be converted into an aircraft carrier on July 1, 1922, launched on October 3, 1925, and officially commissioned on December 14, 1927.

The hull of the Lexington-class aircraft carrier was originally designed as the first battle cruiser that the United States attempted to build, but due to the restrictions of the Washington Naval Treaty, the United States had to abandon the plan to build six battle cruisers and convert the "Lexington" and "Saratoga", which were the fastest in construction, into aircraft carriers.

After commissioning, the USS Lexington and USS Saratoga participated in a large number of exercises of the US Navy, accumulating a lot of experience for the US Navy to explore the use of aircraft carriers and promoting the development of core aircraft carrier tactics.

The most famous of these is the ninth fleet exercise, the "Ship Question 9", but the protagonist of this exercise is actually the younger sister Saratoga.

Several minor renovations were carried out in 1934-1936, during which its bow deck was widened.

In 1941, the dark clouds of war began to loom over the Pacific Ocean, and the USS Lexington was incorporated into the Pacific Fleet, stationed primarily at Pearl Harbor.

On 5 December, the USS Lexington departed as planned to deliver aircraft to Base Midway, thus reacting to the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor on 7 December.

On December 13, the Lexington returned to Pearl Harbor, on the 14th was ordered to raid the Jaruit Atoll, and on the 20th due to the crisis on Wake Island, it turned to the aid of Wake Island, but Wake Island had fallen before arrival.

In 1942, after attacking Japanese forces on the island of New Guinea, the Lexington led Task Force 11 as the flagship and rendezvoused with the aircraft carrier USS Yorktown, which led Task Force 17, in the Coral Sea on May 1.

On 7 May, carrier-based aircraft from the USS Lexington and USS Yorktown sank the light aircraft carrier Shoho of the Japanese Combined Fleet, and the next day their carrier-based aircraft damaged the USS Shozuru and severely damaged the carrier-based aircraft force of the USS Zuizuru.

The two battles directly led to the inability of the Fifth Air Force of the Japanese Combined Fleet to participate in the Battle of Midway a month later (the tearing between the wives was also terrible).

During the battle, the Lexington was hit by at least 2 aerial torpedoes and 3 aerial bombs, although the fire was brought under control for a time and was able to return home on its own at a speed of 25 knots.

Unfortunately, at noon on May 8, an explosion occurred due to the evaporation of the leaked aviation fuel and the ignition of the hangar that had gathered in the closed bow of the ship, and at 17 o'clock the captain gave the order to abandon the ship, and then the destroyer Phelps (DD-360) carried out a lightning strike.

At 20 o'clock, the aircraft carrier Lexington sank, and she received a total of two battle stars in World War II.

On June 24, 1942, the U.S. military publicly acknowledged the sinking of the USS Lexington and officially delisted it.

On September 23, 1942, the USS Lexington (CV-16) was launched, and in 1942 Zuihe sank Lexington (CV-2), and two years later it was sunk by Lexington (CV-16).

The drop rate and build shipment rate of the aircraft carrier in Battleship Girl are very low, but Lexington will give away as long as the Raiders 1-4 system, so she is often the only aircraft carrier in the early days of Fetimen.

Later, Saratoga also became a bargain with 40 clicks, which warmed Feiti's heart.

One of the ships that can be transformed in the game.,After the transformation, it will become the second strongest aircraft carrier at present (the first is the Saratoga change),Before the transformation, it also beat the book ships such as Akagi Dafeng Xianghe.,It generally becomes the first ship to be transformed.,Because of its high speed, it has also become one of the main forces in many figure madhouses.。

Lexington has a plump figure, and after the transformation, the painting has changed from a navy-style casual dress to a regular U.S. Navy white military uniform uniform temptation, full of the temperament of a wife, and is affectionately called Mrs. by everyone.

Historically, the U.S. Navy called Lexington "ladylex" or "graylady" (gray lady, meaning female nurse), in Chinese, the meaning of lady and wife is similar, so Lexington is called Mrs. is also a restoration of history.

Because of this, its transformed line "returning from vacation" is often spoofed as "returning from maternity leave".

After the implementation of the marriage system, the wife is the most married shipwive.

In fact, to this day Lexington has been the main carrier of numerous commanders and the backbone of naval aviation.

Since it can be obtained by clearing 1-4, the wife helped many commanders through the initial hardships of lack of combat strength and followed them on their expeditions, so this result is not surprising.

On Valentine's Day in 2016, the wedding dress was changed, and it was obtained after marriage, which further established Lexington's status as a wife and empty mother.

Stay natural!

I've always thought that I'm naturally older than Saratoga as the No. 1 ship - in fact, I just decided to build it earlier than my sister conceived (the Battlecruiser of the same class, which was canceled, was the first to start construction, but the construction progress was slow. ), commenced, born, and commissioned later than Saratoga.

And in the 9 questions of the fleet, the first voyage encountered a storm, ran out of the storm area but crashed headlong under the guns of the imaginary enemy's battle formation, and then ......

Virtuous and helpful!

From December 1929 to January 1930, it provided temporary electricity to 100,000 residents of Tacoma, Washington, for a month, totaling 4.25 million kilowatt hours, which became an incredible anecdote (indeed a good wife, so some of them would give her the ability to discharge).

It looks like a sister.,It's often mistaken for a sister and suffers an unjustified disaster!

Playing the same role as someone else's victim. On the second day of the fleet's 9th question, Kishiki's friendly torpedo planes found Mrs. Lie, thinking that she was the Slender Sara who sent bombers to blow up the canal at dawn, and went up to give a fat beating, and the unfortunate Mrs. Lie sank twice in two days (of course, not as strong as her sister sinking three times in two days).

Took good care of my sister Saratoga!

However, when it is time to educate my sister seriously, it is not ordinary serious, and I will let my sister endure hardships and spank (I went back to the fleet 9 questions, and two of the three times Saratoga sank in two days were beaten by my sister).

Historically, Mrs. Column was the wedding ship of the super-great Eurnest Joseph King, and counted the positions of this Lady in World War II: Chief of Naval Orders, Commander-in-Chief of the Naval Fleet, member of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and Nimitz was promoted to a five-star Navy at the same time

Whoever sinks Mrs. Lie will wait to go to the North Pacific to dig potatoes.

Aluminum Eater!

Due to the need for aluminum to replenish the carrier-based aircraft carried by the aircraft carrier after being damaged, as well as the influence of the next door, the aircraft carrier is generally set to be a girl who likes to eat aluminum.

Mrs. is the first aircraft carrier for most people, and Meng Xin often does not know how to compete with fighter jets to seize air supremacy, and is often stunned by the consumption of aluminum when replenishing, so Mrs. has become an aluminum maniac in Meng Xin's eyes.

However, since it is very difficult to obtain a regular aircraft carrier among the battleship girls, most of them do not have to worry about the lack of aluminum.

Reincarnation!

After the sinking of Mrs. (CV-2), the US imperialists inherited the name Lexington with an Essex-class dumpling-class aircraft carrier, which was designated CV-16 (in addition to the honorific title "Lady Lie", she also had the nickname "Blue Ghost").

The aircraft carrier received 11 battle stars and sank Zuihe.

Due to the name, Mrs. Lie, wearing the same black cape suit of the dumpling class, appears among the fanfics to refer to CV-16.

With the advent of the skin-changing system, there have been calls for the implementation of the "Blue Ghost" skin - though the two are actually two ships of different classes, and the CV-2 Lexington has never been painted in black or blue.

loveblues

On February 14, 2016, the first real wedding dress was changed. In the announcement, the name of the costume is loveblues, and the name of the implementation is loveblue

By the way, after the wedding dress is painted, I don't know when it starts, the wife will automatically change into a wedding dress when she concludes the contract.

strapbikini！

On July 1, 2016, Phantom Meng officially shot down the swimsuit satellite released earlier, and his wife became one of the first shipwives to implement swimsuits. (At the same time, she also became one of the first ship girls to have multiple sets of redress.) The other is the idol Aoba) is also the only ship girl with four sets of standing paintings.

Attentive players will find a small model bug, Lexington and Saratoga's blue ornaments on their heads are their symbols, usually the following Nexington's is on the right, Saratoga's is on the left, and the model in the Strapbikini skin game, Lexington's ornament actually runs to the left.

Anecdote!

In the first ship moe competition, Mrs. won the championship by beating opponents from all walks of life with an absolute popularity advantage.

Then his father, Mr. Water Turtle, released a photo of his wife to celebrate, cough cough (hemp egg, purple I didn't find this picture!) ）

When the second ship moe contest was about to be held, the wife was disqualified in advance because of her strength before the start of the competition - Lexington, as the last Meng King, has won a lifetime honor, and it is still unshakable in the hearts of the admirals, so this year's ship Meng will not participate in the competition

Madame: You don't want to play with me......

Others: Take you to play and others don't have to play

Therefore, the second ship cute contest is also known as the battleship girl r junior contest. However, the winner is the capable sister-in-law, how can the sister-in-law be considered a junior? (To be continued.) )
