Fifteen heavy aircraft carriers, even if they need to be deployed in the Atlantic and Pacific directions, have overwhelming advantages in either direction. In terms of carrier-based aviation, the Red Navy, which focuses on missile ships, submarines and shore-based aviation, is definitely unable to compete head-on.

The situation of aircraft carriers is roughly like this. The US Navy has no advantage on other surface ships. The 27 Ticonderoga class cruisers, 31 Spruins class and 17 Burke class destroyers are almost the same as the Red Navy, which has rapidly grown strength. As for combat effectiveness, it is different from the personal opinion. The design focus and combat ideas of both ships are basically two ways. Perhaps only when you reach the battlefield can you truly see the truth through a systematic confrontation.

This is the situation on the water surface. Long Yun knew nothing about submarines. He could only roughly compare the number of nuclear submarines between the United States and the Soviet Union. In this regard, the Soviet Union in the parallel world had a slightly advantage.

Of course, the relevant data on the technical indicators of each type of nuclear submarine, such as firepower intensity, silent level and departure rate, are too complicated, and he couldn't understand it for the time being. Now he just thinks that both sides are on the same level. After all, since the 1970s, the Soviet Union has gradually abandoned the practice of blindly pursuing numerical advantages. Although some early nuclear submarines are in scrapped state, the comprehensive level of the new generation of nuclear submarines is already on the same level as the United States' same-class boats.

In addition, the shore-based aviation forces between the United States and the Soviet Union are almost incomparable in this regard. The young man temporarily put down the materials and watched the specific battle deduction with other participants.

While watching the virtual deduction situation and analyzing it with the information I just checked, Long Yun on the seat gradually became a little absent-minded.

He began to feel that as a VVS combatant, he might not be able to help with the battle of the Red Navy at all. However, today's combat conference theme was ocean confrontation. Now that the headquarters is coming, he can rest assured and he can do more naval homework.

Following the explanation's ideas, my eyes drew a tortuous path on the huge chart. The large-scale battle deduction has actually begun.

Taking this opportunity to look at the lineup of the two sides and the ship formation list, Long Yun blinked in confusion. He looked at the thick stack of materials in his hand and found the part of "Вmc_cwА——Авnahoceц" (US Navy - aircraft carrier) from it for careful study; because he intuitively believed that since the American aircraft carrier had as many as fifteen, it would be impossible for only three combat troops in the Pacific direction.

If you don’t look at it, you will probably read the information compiled by the KGB and the General Staff Intelligence Bureau. Long Yun has some new understanding. The situation of the battle in the ocean is really different from that in the land and the sky.

At the very least, the navy's combat ships are far from being able to be built, just one can be built.

Even though there are some differences in the front-line battle situation, in short, the United States, which holds maritime power, is not afraid of the "polar bear" in the Far East. Facing its main strategic opponent, the Soviet Pacific Fleet, the Seventh and Third Fleets still have advantages in three aspects: carrier-based aviation, attack nuclear submarines and strategic depth. The situation seems to be very beneficial to the free world. However, the outbreak of a world war quickly changed all this.

Since the beginning of the war, in order to fight against the powerful Oriental Group, the United States, which fought in concert with a group of NATO allies, naturally tried its best. In the previous large-scale war, the Caucasus alone invested five heavy aircraft carriers and a large number of surface ships, but in the end it failed to win.

After a fierce battle, the overall collapse of the Caucasus front ended. It can be said that the overall situation in the Middle East has been determined, but the threat from the north still exists. The busy US Navy can only rummage the boxes and cabinets again. Not only will the two Forlester-class aircraft carriers that are about to retire continue to serve, but also urges the Newport Shipyard to step up construction and complete the construction of the CVN-75 "Harry Truman" nuclear-powered aircraft carrier as soon as possible.

However, all these emergency measures have no effect on alleviating the needs of the US side.

After the fierce battle of the Caucasus, almost all the US aircraft carrier battle groups affiliated with the Second Fleet needed to return to Hong Kong for rest. The helpless U.S.navy had to draw the Nimitz-class aircraft carrier CVN-73 "George Washington" from the Third Fleet, and took charge of the Middle East with the "George" who was still fighting and the "Constellation" and the "Zodiac" were in charge of the Middle East.

Not only that, after the high-intensity confrontation in the Eastern Mediterranean, the cvn-69 "Eisenhower" and the cvn-70 "Carl Vinson" and the escort ships urgently need rest. These two aircraft carrier battle groups are unable to enter the battle for the time being; while the cvn-74 "Stannis" who returned to Norfolk Port in the early stage were busy repairing the damage to the hull caused by an accidental mine contact, and temporarily settled in the huge dock of the Newport Shipyard.

The situation in the Atlantic Ocean is not good. Let's look at the direction of the Pacific Ocean. The CVN-68 "Nimitz" belonging to the U.S. Third Fleet entered the reactor failure period after more than ten years of continuous high-intensity cruise. It also carried out fuel rod replacement and full-ship overhaul projects with an expected construction period of 30 months at Newport Shipyard. Even if the progress is accelerated, it is impossible to return to the ocean battlefield in a short period of time.

Fifteen heavy aircraft carriers seem to be an invincible huge fleet, but after nearly a year of long war consumption, even though none of them have been sent to the bottom of the sea by the Red Navy, there are only eleven aircraft carriers left in the hands of the Americans.

Furthermore, even the number of "eleven ships" includes three foreign aircraft carriers that should have returned to Hong Kong and rested, and the "Fleiser" class, which has been in service for about 40 years and has been seriously aging in the hull and the mainframe. At present, the front line of the world war is getting longer and longer, and the war is getting stronger and stronger. At the same time, it is necessary to maintain sea and air pressure in Western Europe, the Middle East and the Far East at the same time. It is conceivable how much the "eleven aircraft carriers" will be spread to each war zone. It is already an extreme state for the US Navy to assemble four aircraft carriers in the Pacific Ocean.

Not to mention now, the situation in the Taiwan Strait is becoming increasingly tight, and the situation around the South China Sea is not stable at all. Americans, who are scattered around the world, suddenly discovered a fact that if they really want to maintain their existence in the global waters and deter any opponent, even fifteen heavy aircraft carriers are still a bit insufficient.

It is precisely based on this analysis that the General Command made some adjustments in the context of "war deduction".

The dispatch rate of the Red Navy is not discussed for the time being. On the premise that the Americans came out in full swing to ensure that the four aircraft carriers are available at any time, considering the geopolitical situation in the Far East, it is also assumed that it can only gather at most three aircraft carrier combat groups in the depths of the ocean, and the other aircraft carrier combat group needs to invest in other directions to maintain its power in the Far East.

Long Yun fully recognized this assumption. As he had just realized, naval ships, especially giants like aircraft carriers, are very important for daily maintenance, maintenance, personnel rest and equipment maintenance. Even a country like the United States with rich experience cannot make every naval aircraft carrier in combat readiness. Now this estimate has actually considered the most severe situation.

But even so, if you look at the situation of the Pacific Fleet, you will not be able to attack all the people and use the maximum strength on paper to confront the Americans.

Against the backdrop of the outbreak of the Far East War, the large Red Navy ships left Vladivostok at the beginning of the war. This was not because of concerns about the air strikes of NATO, but because of the unfavorable geographical location of the home port of the Pacific Fleet. The Red Navy warships starting from the port could only make small fuss in the Sea of ​​Japan. If you want to enter the ocean, you can only go through the Korean Strait or one of the Tsing-King Straits. This is certainly not an easy task during the war.

Vladivostok, also known as Vladivostok, is a natural port for the Pacific Fleet. It is the best among the Far East ports in terms of logistics support and wartime maintenance conditions. Now, large ships, including heavy aircraft cruisers, have been temporarily evacuated to other ports, which is very unfavorable to maintaining long-term combat capabilities.

Now, judging from the deduced lineup of the show, of course this should be a secret, and the Red Navy's "Novorossiysk" aircraft cruiser is not included.

As for the reasons, it is very different from the rumors of "host failure" from outside the world or "stayed in Nikolayevsk". The "Novorossiysk" has actually always been supporting the escort ship, using Petropavlovsk as the home port to carry out missions in the waters around the Kamchatka Peninsula, providing screen protection for a number of underwater forces such as the Red Navy strategic missile nuclear submarine. In addition, the more important intention is to maintain a high-pressure anti-submarine situation and curb the harassment and sabotage activities of NATO submarines.

In this way, the only aircraft carriers that the Pacific Fleet can use are Tbilisi and Varyag. With a sufficient number of support ships, in a maritime duel in the depths of the Pacific Ocean, facing the three aircraft carrier battle groups of the US Navy, the outcome can naturally be imagined.
