Horsepower is 10,189 horsepower, speed is 17.0~:.=12 inches of armor on the side, 12 inches of armor on the command tower, and $0,000 in armor.

The displacement of 120,000 tons is one of the most powerful fleets in the Pacific Ocean.

However, Tan Fenglin was not worried. He also had a powerful fleet in his hands.

Three battleships, nine heavy cruisers (three heavy cruisers close to completion on the west coast of the United States), and eight light cruisers, with a tonnage of nearly 190,000 tons, although they are much stronger than the US fleet in inferior tonnage on the battleships.

In fact, this is just Tan Fenglin's subjective idea. In fact, if the five American light cruisers did not sink three heavy cruisers were not captured, the tonnage would exceed Tan Fenglin Fleet. If we list them one by one, we would be surprised to find the similarity between the two fleets.

The first-class battleship is 000, the weapons and equipment are five 280 combined units, 12 rapid-fire cannons. The speed is 17.

The side has a 228 deck 63 turret 152. The degree is equal to twice the original steel armor and four times the iron armor.

The 280mm cannon is a new type of cannon, which is much more powerful than the original cannon.

Horsepower is 18,769 horsepower, speed is 21.461 tons, endurance is 5110 with 3 inches of armor on the inner side, 55 inches of armor on the command tower, and 4203 mm gun armor;.

Three ships (captured on the West Coast of the United States)

Class 2 heavy cruiser 50 tons + 3mm cannon, 12152mm rapid-fire cannon, speed of 19 knots! Armor thickness 180mm (10 ships)

Class 3 light cruiser 50 tons, 5 triple-mounted 152-meter rapid-fire gun, main engine power 6000 horsepower speed 19.5 ships)

Now, the two fleets are only one hundred nautical miles apart, and the soldiers waiting for their soldiers to have a bloody battle!

Big beard, small eyes, thin face... The man was named Duncan, the Major General of the Army, and the captain of the first-class armored cruiser of the "Wyoming" class. At the mobilization meeting, Duncan tweeted like a crow: "It is impossible to win a battle!... I am worried that our ships have been consumed a lot along the way. Even if this is not the case, the Chinese will defeat us... There is one thing I can guarantee that we would rather die than surrender."

No one scolded Duncan on the spot, everyone looked at each other, and then someone made a despicable joke, which caused vulgar laughter. Everyone started drinking, chatting, and dancing with women. The atmosphere of the farewell party was harmonious from beginning to end. Yes, nothing could disrupt everyone's emotions-the navy mood.

Brand new ships, sailors who seem inexperienced more kind than the fleet, a journey of 15,000 nautical miles, a powerful enemy at the end of the road - an irresistible nightmare.

However, hope still exists. Although it is twisted and deformed, ethereal and loose, Americans can still see it and still want to catch it. Even if they only catch a straw, it is always more useful than air.

Hope exists in images, or in numbers.

On the other hand, the atmosphere in the Chinese fleet is also very depressing. Although it has experienced several naval battles, it is the first time that it has participated in a large-scale naval battle of this scale. Tan Fenglin said mockingly: "Maybe, I will finish all my life's battles in the past few years, and I will have to rely on pensions to live in the future."

But perhaps he did not expect that in twenty years, he would command an unprecedented naval battle, a direct collision of millions of tons of steel, a direct dialogue between blood and fire.
