In terms of carrier-based aircraft, the CV-67 "John Kennedy" was temporarily busy damaging the pipes, and the work of releasing and recycling was completely terminated. The CVN-71, which was not injured at the moment, replaced the Kennedy to recover a wave of air-stagnant fighter jets. As for the interceptors that are crucial to the fleet's air defense, at least some air refueling aircraft must be sent to support the long-term VF and VFA, and can only be handed over to the CVN-73 "George Washington" that barely operated on the side catapult.

After three heavy aircraft carriers were formed, the dispatch and recovery capabilities of the fighter jets are only equivalent to that of one Nimitz class. This is definitely not good news for front-line combatants. Lieutenant General William Pratt, who is in charge of "Theodore Roosevelt", is even more unacceptable.

But no matter what, after a wave of missile baptism, the United States' aircraft carriers were still floating on the sea, and the main force of the fleet did not suffer serious losses. Can this also make people feel a little lucky?

Being among the steel giant beast with a load displacement of 100,000 tons, the lucky missile of the "Theodore Roosevelt" was not caught. The commanders who were extremely nervous but could not feel much fighting atmosphere were still shocked. Lieutenant General William Pratt had a little bit of inexplicable feeling of surviving the disaster. To be honest, deduction on paper is the same thing. The pressure is still completely different when encountering a large number of anti-ship missile assaults.

This is probably the case, but as each ship reported losses, the lieutenant general could not calm down at all.

A regiment of "Counterfire" bombers carried about more than 100 anti-ship missiles, facing such a severe threat. Even if there is a "Tomcat" screen in the sky, the "Aegis" system of surface warships has tried its best. The "Carryback" that flocked in the air still caused major damage to the US Navy. Lieutenant General Pratt soon discovered that his judgment based on battlefield monitoring information was wrong at the beginning.

At first glance, after the Russians' "returning gun" ravaged, none of the warships in the United States have sunk.

The report submitted hastily shows that as of now, except for a Ticonderoga-class cruiser, the CG-58 "Philippine Sea", in the fleet, which has suffered heavy damage and the crew has abandoned the ship, the damage stewards on the other warships are working together. The As-16 attacked by Mach 5 does not seem to be as terrifying as the legendary one.

But on the other hand, whether the warships are still floating on the water and whether they still have real combat capabilities are often different for the weapons and equipment of modern navys.

Looking at the Second World War decades ago, combat ships with artillery as the main weapon and lack of electronic equipment and backward electronic equipment, even if they are seriously damaged in battle, as long as the ammunition of one artillery is not exploded and the sighting equipment is not completely destroyed, the combat effectiveness can basically be guaranteed.

But modern warships, almost all weapons and equipment need electricity. When the hull itself is seriously damaged, the normal power supply of the entire ship will generally be interrupted. Although warships will have a complete emergency power supply system, they can only maintain the minimum control system and other key parts that can still operate. Other things such as an/spy-1c and combat command centers are mostly undesirable.

Because of this, unlike the optimistic judgment just now, Lieutenant General William Pratt soon discovered that the strength of his three aircraft carrier battle group had fallen seriously. Not only did the escort ships on the periphery suffer a big blow - at least one of them would definitely sink, but there were three to four of them completely lost their combat power. Even the heavy aircraft carriers also ate a lot of missiles. Now the CV-67 "John Kennedy" has almost become a scrap ship. Coupled with the failure of the "Roosevelt" and the injury to the fore deck of the "Washington" lieutenant general, who was in a violent mood, found that there was no aircraft carrier in his hand that could be put into battle.

Damn, if this is the case, there is only one way to retreat!

Standing in the combat command room of the USS Theodore Roosevelt aircraft carrier, the frustrated lieutenant general looked up at the ceiling. Although it was separated by the numerous cabins and the solid flight deck, Prat seemed to be able to see a scene of the surviving disaster on the sea. The gray and white trails in the sky had not yet dissipated. The u.s.navy battleships patrolling far away were rolling smoke. The crew's escaped CG-58 "Philippine Sea" was burning, and the watering speed of the Tonghai Valve could not catch up with the time when the warships burned out...

At the moment of the war, Pratt's mood was a little inexplicable. From the tension and excitement when he was facing the "counter-fire" aircraft group at first to the desperate mentality of watching the missiles attack, Pratt's heart was mixed.

The battle broke out in the northwest Pacific Ocean. Although the main force of the two sides had never met once, the lieutenant general knew very well that after a battle in the sky, he, the huge fleet he led, and even the century-old navy of the United States of America, was now only as thin as a piece of paper to fail.

Hum, or admit it more easily, u.s.navy has already lost.

As a senior U.S. Navy general who has worked for many years and has experienced in the war, William Pratt is no longer so persistent in the concept of victory or defeat, but he really never thought and never foreseeed this. The United States aircraft carrier battle group with naval and air superiority could not withstand the Russians' "counter-fire" raids - of course, he never thought that as a fleet commander, if he could know the way Ivans fight in advance, why would he have to let the fleet approach the Kamchatka coastline and take risks to attract the Russian Pacific Fleet to fight in a decisive battle?

With a strong spirit and sailing, with a huge force of thirty large and small warships, the first independent battle in this world war, the winner and defeat came so unexpectedly.

Next, no matter what the Americans who were suffering from pain think or what actions they should take, it is an impossible task to change the situation on the battlefield. They just lost the CV-67 and several "super Hornets" on it. The entire fleet was blown up by the stormy "back-shot". The once confident United States fleet is now a bit reluctant to protect itself, and it is even more of a luxury to release the large group of aircraft to fight back.

The Americans' depression was all-rounded by a blockbuster kh-15.

From the appearance of "counter-fire" in the sky to the "returning guns" on one's own head, the Americans' high-in-common fleet was actually somewhat clumsy. Now, before the rich people and politicians in the rear talked about it, Lieutenant General William Pratt was shocked and angry, and recorded most of the accounts on the "sickle".

Damn "sickle", the crazy Ivan, this guy is so hateful!

The lieutenant general's resentment probably matches the facts. If Victor Rezenov had not interfered with it and harassed the US Navy's carrier-based aircraft everywhere, there would be no need to be afraid even if there were too many "counter-fires" flying on land. There were "death birds" in the ammunition depot of the aircraft carrier, and the Russian bombers and heavy anti-ship missiles were the same. In short, it would be impossible to break through the fleet's air defense circle. A tragic defeat could be avoided!

Faced with the unfavorable battle situation, the Yankees had a lot of resentment, but Long Yun, who was flying back, didn't care at all.

He just served as a fighter jet for the "Counter Fire", but in fact he was driving the way forward. In the two fierce battles, the situation in the sky changed rapidly, and the psychological pressure on him was really great. Fortunately, the battle ended well. Faced with the threat of f-14a+/d, the White No. 20 su-27m2 performed well. Now the whole family killed several "Tomcats" and returned successfully.

When the 317th Guards Regiment launched a volley of anti-ship missiles, the mission was actually completed. Long Yun did not have the heart to pay attention to the ending of the American warships guarding around the aircraft carrier. He was thinking about a very important issue, and the driving control in his hands was not delayed at all.

In a row, they fought close to each other with two waves of "Tomcats" and "Super Cats", and the internal oil was in a hurry, and White No. 20 must land as soon as possible.

For today's battle, the an-124b was sent to the battlefield at the beginning, after fierce battle and escape, in theory, Long Yun did not have to look for the Red Navy's heavy aircraft cruiser in the vast sea, and actively approached and completed the landing. He could also choose to meet the Red Air Force's il-78m aerial refueling aircraft after leaving the battlefield, replenished thousands of liters of fuel and flew back to the land base directly.

The large-formatted Su-27m2 is different from the early batch of Su-27s of the Soviet VVS. There is still a retractable aerial refueling device, but this solution was rejected by young people very early.

After the battle, the plane completed a refueling in the air, and then rushed back to the base for a long distance for a few hours. This kind of thing is easy to say, but it is not sure at all. I just fought fiercely with the carrier-based aircraft of u.s.navy. Although the pilots of the United States gained nothing, their combat effectiveness was not adulterated. They flew with the enemy like flowing water, and finally drove the extra force to escape the battle with a very casual look. The scene looked quite chic, but after all, even Long Yun, who had excellent physical fitness, was a little tired and tired.

I looked at the time. It was already seven o'clock in the morning, and it was only more than three hours since the attack. However, when I was in the pilot position, which needed to be energetic and to do my best during the battle, the concept of time was of course completely different from the feeling of being idle.
