Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The New York-class battleship was built by the United States Navy after the King George V-class battleship of the British Navy. It has a full load displacement of 25,700 tons, a length of 182 meters, a width of 27 meters, and a draft of 88 meters.  It is equipped with five twin-mounted 343mm main guns, two of which are deployed on the front and rear decks, and one behind the boiler amidships.  However, the armor of the New York-class battleships is relatively weak. The thickest side armor is only 305 mm, and the turret and bridge are only 280 mm thick.

    This time, the battleship New York was hit by the battleship Guangwu of the Chinese Navy. Therefore, the 343mm armor-piercing projectile easily tore through the turret armor under the action of kinetic energy.  Fortunately, the captain of the New York ordered the filling of the ammunition depot with water in time, preventing hundreds of shells stored in the ammunition depot under the turret from exploding.  But even so, the battleship 'New York' suffered heavy damage.

    The two main guns in front were destroyed. At the same time, there were hundreds of tons of seawater in the ammunition depot, which caused the battleship's bow to sink slightly and the battleship's speed also dropped a bit.

    "Haha! I finally got something! Seize this opportunity and completely send the battleship New York to the bottom of the sea!" On the battleship Guangwu Emperor, Admiral Gao Yihai, commander of the Chinese Navy's Pacific Fleet, said excitedly.  Heavy cruisers and battlecruisers have achieved good results, but the battleships have not sunk a U.S. Navy battleship so far, which makes him a little disappointed.  However, fortunately, it is finally open now!

    "Boom! Boom! Boom!" The three battleships of the Chinese Navy seized this opportunity and fired wildly at the New York. The dense shells continued to fall around the New York battleship, making the New York battleship  The situation is very dangerous!

    "The "Texas" in the back bypassed the "New York" and moved up to cut off the Chinese

    ¡®New York, attack on the USS!  "On the battleship Nevada, Admiral William Benson was also anxious. If the New York was sunk, then he would not know how to report it to the country. Up to now, the Chinese Navy has not had one  The capital ship was sunk, but they lost one. This was despite having three times the number of capital ships. This left Admiral William Benson with no place to put his face!

    At 6:52, the captain of the battleship New York gave the order to turn, preparing to withdraw from the battlefield and give up the leading position of the battle line to the battleship Texas behind.  However, this turn exposed the starboard side of the battleship New York to the Chinese fleet.  Of course the Chinese fleet would not miss this good opportunity and immediately began a violent bombardment

    At 6:54, "Qin III" hit the battleship "New York", and a 5mm main gun hit the battleship "New York" on the starboard side.  However, the shell hit the starboard deck and only destroyed one secondary battery.

    "Damn it what on earth is the captain of the New York doing? If he orders a turn at this time, isn't that looking for death?" William.  Admiral Benson was also furious after seeing the actions of the battleship New York.  The first battle line he was on had just crossed paths with the Chinese fleet and was in the process of turning, still far away from the battlefield.  But this also made him anxious!

    Immediately afterwards, at 6:55, the battleship 'New York' was hit again, this time

    "A 5mm shell fired by the battleship Qin II hit the bridge of New York.  Although due to the angle, the shell did not penetrate the bridge of the New York, the impact caused by the explosion of the shell still shocked all the U.S. naval officers in the bridge, and the captain even fainted.  passed.  For a time, the USS New York was leaderless and fell into chaos.

    At 6:58, the battleship Emperor Guangwu dealt a fatal blow to the battleship New York.  A 343 mm shell hit New York's No. 3 turret amidships.  The shell penetrated the gun mount under the turret and directly detonated the ammunition depot below.  Hundreds of 343mm main gun shells inside exploded.  In the fierce explosion, the USS New York was blown into two sections and sank to the bottom of the sea in less than two minutes.  And none of the more than 700 American naval officers and soldiers on board the battleship survived. They all accompanied the USS New York and were buried at the bottom of the sea!

    "Asshole! Those son-of-a-bitch porn kids, I won't let him go once! The first battle line is divided into two formations, with three battleships in one formation, outflanking the Chinese fleet from the left.  The second battle line is also divided into two formations. The remaining three New York-class battleships are in one formation, and the other four Wyoming-class battleships are in one formation. Once the Chinese are intercepted!" William.  Admiral Benson ordered.  The U.S. fleet has an absolute numerical advantage, which allows them to intercept the Chinese fleet from several directions.  Unless the Chinese fleet turns around and evacuates immediately, it is almost impossible to escape the interception of the US fleet.?'s

    "Commander, what should we do? The Americans are divided into four battleship formations to intercept us from all sides." Lieutenant General Zhao Hongcai said with some worry.

    "Hmph! It seems that the sinking of the New York has completely angered that guy William Benson!" Admiral Gao Yi snorted coldly. He was very upset about the U.S. fleet's absolute numerical superiority bullying the Pacific Fleet.  Dissatisfied, but mostly helpless.

    "Commander, why don't we retreat! We have now sunk a battleship and a heavy cruiser in the American fleet, and also severely damaged two heavy cruisers. We have achieved good results!" Lieutenant General Zhao Hongcai suggested.

    "No, although the current situation is more dangerous, we may not have no chance to expand our results! Order each ship to accelerate to 20 knots, get rid of the American interception, and look for opportunities again!" General Gao Yihai is unwilling to give up like this  , and also wanted to sink more battleships of the American fleet.

    At 7:30 in the morning, the sun has come out and the golden sunshine is shining on the sea. The waves are sparkling and the scenery is very beautiful.  However, the rumbling sound of gunfire and the pungent smell of gun smoke on the sea completely destroyed this beautiful scenery.

    At 7:45, the Chinese Navy's Pacific Fleet seized an opportunity and took advantage of a mistake by the U.S. fleet to get rid of the other three deployment agent formations, circled to the left side of the U.S. fleet's third battleship formation, and launched a fierce attack.  The Third Battleship Group of the United States Fleet, consisting of three

    The New York-class battleships are composed of the USS Texas, the USS Ohio, and the USS Montana.

    "Each ship fires at its maximum rate of fire. We only have fifteen minutes. After fifteen minutes, we must speed up our evacuation, otherwise we will be surrounded by the US fleet!" Vice Admiral Gao Yihai ordered excitedly.  After using high speed to throw off the other three battleship formations of the American fleet, they temporarily won the opportunity for a three-on-three duel.  If this opportunity can be grasped, the Pacific Fleet will have the opportunity to further expand its results.

    "Boom! Boom! Boom!" The three battleships of the Chinese Navy's Pacific Fleet fired fiercely at the three battleships of the Third Battleship Formation of the U.S. Fleet.  In order to improve the hit rate, their speed has been reduced to 5 knots, and the distance between them and the American warship has also been shortened to 10,000 meters!

    Dense water columns rose around the three battleships of the third battleship formation of the U.S. Fleet. In a one-on-one situation, even if the battleships of the U.S. Navy were equipped with 343 mm main guns, they could not compete with the Chinese fleet!

    "Counterattack! Order the 3rd Battleship Squadron to hold back the Chinese, and the 4th Battleship Squadron to outflank them from the left. The 1st Battleship Squadron and the 2nd Battleship Squadron will insert from the rear left, and the Chinese must not be allowed to escape!" In Nevada,  On the battleship USS William.  Admiral Benson ordered loudly.  The other three battleship formations of the US fleet began to turn around, hoping to surround the Chinese fleet.  Although the third battleship formation of the U.S. fleet is temporarily in danger, as long as it can hold back the Chinese fleet, the U.S. fleet will definitely win.  The mistake made by the Third Battleship Formation this time was actually none other than William.  Admiral Benson deliberately put an opportunity in front of the Chinese fleet's reluctance, allowing the Chinese fleet to jump into this trap on its own initiative, giving the American fleet a chance to completely annihilate the Chinese fleet!

    "Commander, three other American battleship formations are surrounding us!" Lieutenant General Zhao Hongcai, Chief of Staff of the Chinese Navy's Pacific Fleet, said with some worry!

    "I know that this is a trap deliberately set by William Benson. However, this may not be an opportunity for us. We have a short period of time to defeat this battleship formation of the American fleet. After defeating them, we  Immediately withdraw from the battlefield and sail north at high speed, causing the Americans to lose their wives and troops!" Admiral Gao Yihai said with a smile.  Although he had already realized that this was a trap set by the American fleet, the bait was too tempting for him to give up.  So, knowing it was a trap, he still stepped in without hesitation.  Although it is a trap, it is also an opportunity.  It's just that this would be very risky.

    Naval battles are inherently risky, and luck is an important factor in naval battles.  As a naval general, caution is essential, but when it¡¯s time to take risks, you can¡¯t look forward or backward!

    "Boom! Boom! Boom!" Three battleships of the Chinese fleet engaged in a fierce artillery battle with three battleships of the third battleship formation of the U.S. fleet. The shells streaked through the air at high speed, making a sharp whistle, and then fell on the sea.  , splashing water jets!
