Chapter 1396 There are too few destroyer sisters in the fleet!!!
On the military base island, in a specially designated rest area, a leisurely tea party is taking place.
Scylla, Charybdis, Devonshire and Dido, the four maids who joined the fleet later, are all here at this time, as are the four Glorious-class sisters and Enmity.
Besides them, George V and Howe, as well as Tosa and Hutten, were also here.
Holding a tea party in this place was certainly not a spur-of-the-moment decision, but they deliberately chose not to hold the tea party on the island where the shipyard was being developed because they did not want the commander to know what they were talking about today.
What the monarch and Georgia said to Neptune in the development dock happened to be what they were talking about here just now. After quickly understanding the situation, with the information supplemented by George V and others, Guanghui also made the same judgment.
"It seems that the commander needs to consider a new command ship. All three docks have been shut down recently, and the equipment inside has been cleaned up."
Guanghui said seriously:
"And there are indeed some issues with the composition of our fleet."
"Have it?"
Kewei asked doubtfully:
"I think our fleet is pretty balanced, right? There are a lot of shipgirls of all types."
"That's an illusion caused by the difference in activity levels. How terrible."
Guanghui smiled and said:
"According to the commander's way of distinguishing, light aircraft carriers, regular aircraft carriers, battleships, and battlecruisers are all considered the main ships in the back row, while destroyers and cruisers are considered the vanguard ships in the front row.
Our fleet is indeed not lacking in main battleships at the moment, both in terms of aviation and battleship artillery. But the Vanguard Fleet is not like that."
The glory looked at the terrible:
"Awesome, do you know how many destroyer girls we have in our fleet?"
"Eh? This question..."
Kewei began to count the heads in her mind, and soon she finished counting, but even she was surprised:
"Ten?!"
"Yes, ten. And how many heavy cruisers do we have in our fleet?"
Unfortunately, the number is counting faster this time.
"Eight..."
Guanghui nodded slightly, and the number reported by Kewei surprised others.
The total number of people in the massive fleet is close to three digits, of which the number of destroyers and heavy cruisers combined is only about one-fifth, which is actually a problem for a complete fleet.
"If you think about it this way, it's indeed a bit inappropriate. But, I don't feel that at all normally."
"Haha, that's normal."
In response to the dreadful doubt, Guanghui answered with a smile:
"Because the light cruisers in our fleet all have more than thirty people."
Guanghui said briskly:
"Several light cruisers from Donghuang, most of the Royal Maids, several Cleveland-class light cruisers, and the Cavaliers' Goddess of War and Quejie, plus Santiago, Shucheng, Helena and the others... The number of light cruisers in our fleet has exceeded thirty, and that's without counting Miss Cleveland and Miss Columbia."
"I see."
Victory took over the conversation:
“Because when several members of Donghuang work together, they can stably support the conflict zone of the vanguard fleet and maintain the stability of the battle line.
Neptune and several other people often charged forward with the destroyers, so the actual lack of heavy cruisers and destroyers in our fleet was completely alleviated.
Is this what Sister Guanghui meant?"
"Yeah, victory."
Guanghui nodded and said:
"Yixian and the others have replaced some of the heavy cruisers that were lacking and have reduced the stability of the battle line. The light cruisers in our fleet are generally very strong in anti-aircraft firepower. In addition, we have many aircraft carriers, so air superiority will not be lost, which further weakens the battle line problem.
Some shipgirls with more aggressive combat styles, especially light cruisers like Neptune who are more powerful than others, joined the ranks of destroyers to split the enemy's lineup. In addition, our fleet's ship equipment is powerful, so the problem of insufficient destroyers is also covered up. "
Just as Guanghui finished speaking and was about to take a sip of black tea before continuing, giving the others a chance to think about this issue, a voice suddenly rang out from the bushes not far away:
"That's right!!! There are too few destroyer sisters in the fleet!!!"
The sudden sound made all the ship girls present turn their heads. Guanghui's hand, which had just raised the teacup, shook, and some black tea spilled out of the cup, falling on the mountain and sliding into the mountain stream.
Scylla next to him handed over a wet tissue, and Charybdis, who had just picked up the teapot on the other side, turned around and put down the teapot without hesitation and rushed over.
He was hiding quietly in front of him. This was simply intolerable for Charybdis, who was always proud of his stealth skills!
Soon, the guy that everyone knew was caught, but when she followed Charybdis, her face was full of smugness, and no one knew what she was thinking.
"Royal Ark, eavesdropping on other people's conversations is not a good habit. Besides, didn't you refuse the tea party when you were invited?"
"I originally declined, but the expulsion sisters were curious about what you were talking about, so I came!"
Guanghui took out the tissue that had been used to wipe the spilled tea from the valley, put it aside, and asked Scylla to throw it into the trash can he was carrying. At the same time, he looked at the Royal Ark:
"If you want to participate, why not just show up and participate? Hey, Devonshire, get a chair for the Royal Ark."
While the Royal Ark didn't say anything more weird, Guanghui continued what he had just said:
"Another special thing is our commander. The commander's command ship is a large destroyer, and it carries a large number of anti-ship missiles. In addition, our commander has an aggressive combat style, and the command ship often acts with the destroyer fleet.
With such strong single combat power support, the lack of numbers will be even less noticeable.
To sum up, it’s not that our fleet doesn’t have problems with its composition, but these problems are covered up by the commander’s combat style and the gap in strength that plays to one’s strengths and avoids one’s weaknesses.”
Although Guanghui originally intended to continue talking and take the opportunity to explain it in detail to his sisters, but discussing the small number of destroyers in front of the Royal Ark was too easy to make the theme of the tea party develop in a strange direction, so Guanghui decisively chose to end the topic.
After all, no matter what, the Royal Ark still has a status in the royal family. Although she seems a little out of place at ordinary times, she is still very reliable once the war breaks out.
But the Royal Ark had no idea what Guanghui was thinking. She was now focused on one thing:
There are too few destroyer sisters in the fleet!!!
