Azur Lane: The Tragic Admiral’s Azur Life

Chapter 1160: Spiny Fins and Nautilus

Langley's joining was actually something Yang Sikang had considered a long time ago.

After all, in terms of fleet planning and daily arrangements, Langley can perform very well in terms of work capabilities alone.

The total number of people in his fleet is now approaching three digits. Under such circumstances, it is a very huge task to arrange the training of each different ship girl.

In the past, all these tasks were done by Yang Sikang himself. Although it took a lot of time to adjust, it was also one of the factors that enabled his fleet to quickly improve its strength in a short period of time.

As the size of the fleet expanded, this work gradually became a task that he and the ship girls had to complete together. Now that Bai Ze had completed it, this huge project had actually been handed over to Bai Ze for planning.

But even if Bai Ze is responsible for the planning, some temporary adjustments and the most basic review will still need to be made based on the specific circumstances.

At this time, Langley has a special quality that is irreplaceable by most ship girls. Simply put, she can do the clerical work that Yang Sikang, Belfast and others can do, and she can also do the all-round teaching work that Yang Sikang, Belfast and others cannot do.

Of course, if we have to say it, Yang Sikang only needs to personally observe and participate in every exercise and training. With his rich experience, past knowledge and understanding of Sirens, it is completely possible for him to provide comprehensive guidance.

But the problem is, he doesn't have that much time.

And if we look at it objectively from a gaming perspective, Langley has an important ability that should have been built long ago:

She has a BUFF called Aviation Pioneer that increases aircraft carrier experience. Of course, this skill should be gone after changing to Type II ship equipment, but fortunately Yang Sikang doesn't care much about this.

"I do need your help at work, but it may not be what you think. Haha, I'll tell you the details later. For now..."

Lan Li looked around Yang Sikang, walked out, and then took the initiative to stand beside him.

Yang Sikang picked up the two mind cubes again and let out a breath slowly.

He never built things based on his personal preferences. He made reasonable plans based on the situation of his fleet, environmental factors and his next plans. The conclusion he finally came to was the reason for him to build in the end.

Two Rubik's Cubes were placed into the construction machine. When the construction just started, a water-like shadow suddenly appeared in the dock.

The construction process was slightly faster than that at Langley, but the speed of completion was about the same.

When the shadow of a ship appeared in the dock, everyone already knew what kind of ship it was.

Soon, the shadow in the dock disappeared, and the ship girl appeared in the construction machine.

She has long blond hair, amber eyes, a petite figure and sits astride a unique ship. In her hand, she holds something that looks like a small water gun for fun, but in fact, it is her deck gun.

The similar swimsuit to her colleagues and the main ship suit she was sitting on left no doubt as to her identity.

"I am White Eagle's submarine, Spiny Fin! I will bring more victories to this fleet, please watch! Commander!"

Catshark-class submarine, Spinifex.

Although it is not as well-known as the bluefin that sank the Taiho in history, the record of the spiny fin is actually not bad.

Apart from anything else, the fact that it sank the Shokaku of the 5th Carrier Fleet was already heavy enough, and this incident happened during the Battle of the Philippine Sea, just like the sinking of Taiho by the Albacore.

More importantly, sinking Shokaku was the first battle of the Spiny Fin. Sinking a regular aircraft carrier in the first battle was actually very special.

Moreover, as a submarine, the prototype of the Thorn Fin once surfaced to chase the Sakura Empire destroyer Shimotsuki and fired four torpedoes, two of which hit Shimotsuki and sank it directly, leaving only 46 crew members of the Shimotsuki alive.

However, although it has the appearance of a child like most of its colleagues such as bluefin, archerfish and snapper, the spiny fin does not like being treated as a child.

As for her prototype ship...it is now in Sea Wolf Park on Pelican Island, north of Galveston, and is open to tourists.

The same welcome. As for the reception issue, Yang Sikang didn't need to worry about it at all, because before the spiny fin appeared in the construction machine, the three submarines in his fleet had already arrived.

In the entire fleet, apart from the special category of repair ships, the submarine team has always only had three people: bluefin tuna, archerfish and snapper. Although it is not enough, for them, on the one hand, from a practical point of view, the number of fish is also an important part of the tactics, and on the other hand, it is more fun to have more companions.

"Alright, alright, I'll leave it to you guys to introduce Spiny Fin to her. Now come over here."

Yang Sikang clapped his hands, then brought several submarine girls to the side, then picked up the Rubik's Cube again and put it into the construction machine.

Others have become accustomed to such scenes. After all, Yang Sikang always builds multiple buildings at a time.

However, this time, when the shadow of the ship appeared in the dock, several submarines immediately came over.

Because what appeared in the dock was another submarine!

She has short aqua blue hair and dark golden eyes. The swimsuit she wears is more conservative than that of the spinyfin, bluefin mullet and archerfish, but her flank is still exposed. She also holds a small pistol in the shape of a deck gun in her hand, but what attracts attention is her special ship outfit.

That ship suit that looks like a blue mechanical creature that looks like a narwhal!

When she opened her eyes and saw Yang Sikang, she tilted her head first, then seemed to suddenly realize that she was being watched, and then she greeted him.

"Ah, hello Commander, I'm Nautilus from White Eagle..." Nautilus Yang Sikang, who had a weak presence, smiled and greeted her as usual, and then was unsurprisingly pushed away by several of his own submarine ship girls.

Shaking his head helplessly, Yang Sikang looked at them greeting each other with some amusement.

The Nautilus is a Narwhal-class submarine. In addition to the meaning of the name itself, the Nautilus has another well-known story, which is the Battle of Midway.

The Shigeki fleet discovered the trace of the White Eagle submarine at that time, so it sent destroyers to conduct anti-submarine operations and then search.

However, after two hours of searching, nothing was found. Arashi, which was far behind the main force at this time, chose to speed up. As a result, it left extremely conspicuous traces on the sea. It was discovered by White Eagle's carrier-based aircraft, and then it followed Arashi to find the Sakura Empire fleet. What happened after that is known to everyone.

This White Eagle submarine was the Nautilus, and not only was she unharmed at the time, she also continued to follow the Sakura Empire fleet and looked for opportunities many times.

Although the attack was unsuccessful due to interference from the Jinpo-class light cruisers, the Nautilus was not only discovered and driven away twice but was fine, it also fired a few torpedoes at the almost hopeless Kaga...

Moreover, this battle was also the first battle of Nautilus. Although Nautilus, which undertook the reconnaissance mission, did not achieve any actual results in this battle, it definitely won the title of invisible hero.

After all, if it weren't for the Nautilus, the Storm of the Sakura Empire fleet wouldn't have fallen so far behind. As a result, it had to sail at a high speed of 35 knots to leave obvious traces on the sea to catch up with the large force, so that it was discovered by Enterprise's carrier-based aircraft formation, which tracked down the Sakura Empire fleet and took away Akagi, Kaga and Soryu in one wave.
