Naval Warfare for All: From Patrol Boats to Carrier Fleets

After reading the relevant attributes of the Changning, Ye Bai directly entered the battleship transformation interface, and according to the configuration recommended by the system, all the subsystems of the Changning were fully configured, except for the lack of radar system, everything else was available.

It can be said that as long as the Changning is equipped with personnel, it will immediately exert nearly ten percent of its combat effectiveness, which is even stronger than the Pengze and Yujiang.

Let Lü Teyans give the order to the Peng Ze and let them return, Ye Bai has already decided, such a powerful Changning, naturally equipped with the best officer and crew system, simply transfer all the crew on the Peng Ze to the Changning, and the captain and crew needed by the Peng Ze can only be re-recruited.

The Peng Ze, which received the order, soon returned and docked next to the Changning, and one by one, under the command of Liang Zifang, the crew boarded the Changning in an orderly manner on the lifeboat, and then gave ~ the traffic boat equipped with the Changning.

Operated by three people, this dinghy is 7.92 meters long, 2.24 wide, has a displacement of 4.01 tons, is equipped with a naval type 25 hp four-stroke diesel engine, single-shaft propulsion, has a maximum speed of 7 knots, loads 28 gallons of fuel, has a cruising range of 110 nautical miles, and can carry 25 crew members.

Two transport boats can transport 50 crew members at a time, and the 300 crew members on the Pengze only need 6 round-trip trips to transport them all.

The matter of the Changning naturally had Liang Zifang to take over, without Ye Bai worrying about it, he took the lifeboat directly on the Pengze, ignoring the crew members who were waiting in line for the lifeboats and transport boats to arrive, and on the wide foredeck, a lieutenant captain, 10 lieutenant-level officers, and as many as 300 crew members of various posts were recruited from the system.

It is not the first time to recruit a crew for a destroyer, and now Ye Bai, who is already familiar with the staffing of a destroyer, no longer needs Lütyans to draw up a personnel list, and directly according to the previous configuration, the personnel on the Pengze will soon be fully equipped.

After dealing with the affairs of the Changning and Pengze, Ye Bai returned to the Yanhuang, and the reason why he gave priority to dealing with the affairs of these two destroyers was because Ye Bai had limited funds in his hands, only more than 15 million, and these funds could not all be spent on the Yanhuang.

It must be to solve the destroyer’s affairs first, and then improve the various systems of the Yanhuang according to the remaining funds in their hands, after all, after using space spar to transform the hangar, the number of carrier-based aircraft that can be accommodated in it is no longer a mere 28, and it is possible to accommodate thousands.

If you want to match so many carrier-based aircraft, the funds required are naturally not a few, Ye Bai is worried that he will spend most of the funds on carrier-based aircraft for a while, and then there will be no money to equip the Changning with subsystems and recruit crews, which is really embarrassing.

Now the transformation of the Changning has been completed, the rest is the turn of the Yanhuang, the first thing to do is naturally the power system of the Yanhuang, needless to say, according to the scheme recommended by the system, the new power equipment is fully configured, so that the speed of the Yanhuang is increased to the highest level of 18 knots.

According to the system recommendation, the personnel of the escort aircraft carrier is as high as 900 people, but this establishment includes the aircraft carrier ground crew, mechanics and pilots, etc., and the battleship itself does not need so many people.

Ye Bai was just busy, and Lü Teyansi was not idle, according to Ye Bai’s orders, leaving aside those who served the carrier-based aircraft, he had sorted out the preparation plan of other crew members who needed to be supplemented, and when Ye Bai returned, he just recruited crew members according to this formation.

With this preparation, Ye Bai recruited the crew members who needed to be replenished one by one without the slightest ambiguity, and asked Lü Teyans to pay attention to the handover of the Changning and Pengze, and the fleet would not move for the time being, pay attention to vigilance.

After that, Ye Bai left the bridge and went down to the hangar below the flight deck, although it is an escort aircraft carrier, the capacity of carrier-based aircraft is quite limited, but there should still be hangars, but the area is relatively small, and there is no formal aircraft carrier that almost reaches two-thirds of the length of the hull.

However, the size of the hangar is not too important, Ye Bai stood in the now empty hangar, took out a space spar from his pocket, and pressed it directly on the floor of the hangar.

Just like the first transformation of the small space of the logistics cabin, a familiar blue light shrouded the entire hangar, and the dazzling blue light made Ye Bai subconsciously close his eyes and dare not open them.

I don’t know how long it took, Ye Bai felt that the light from the outside world became weaker, and then slowly opened his eyes, only to find that the original hangar had completely changed, becoming longer and wider, and at a cursory glance, even Ye Bai, who did not have a strong sense of space, felt that the hangar was now at least dozens of times larger than before.

Such a large space can not only divide more parking areas and accommodate more carrier-based aircraft, but also separate fuel tanks, ammunition compartments, maintenance cabins, aviation spare parts warehouses, etc., so that escort navigation fully meets or even exceeds the capabilities of heavy aircraft carriers.

The hangar is there, there is no problem with the carrier-based aircraft, there are those sold in the system mall, although the price is not cheap, but Ye Bai can also afford it, but what really worries Ye Bai is that at present, the Yanhuang Shanghai lacks an officer who is good at directing aircraft carrier operations.

Lütyans is indeed very capable, but after all, he is better at directing artillery battles at sea, and he is not very familiar with aircraft carriers and carrier-based aircraft, and needs someone to help.

Looking at his current fund balance, after the previous large-scale recruitment of crew members and the improvement of the subsystem, now there are only about 13 million left, Ye Bai simply gritted his teeth and stomped his foot, directly spent 1 million funds, and recruited a school-level carrier-based aircraft commander from the system.

[DeWitt Cramsay: Captain of the Navy, pilot-turned, aircraft carrier commander with good administrative ability. 】

As the recruitment ended, an officer in his 40s wearing a naval uniform with the rank of colonel on his shoulder appeared in front of Ye Bai, especially after seeing the simple evaluation given by the system, Bai was blooming.

Although there is no impression of this person in the mind, it is impossible to make a systematic evaluation, a professional aircraft carrier aircraft commander just meets his needs, and the most important thing is that this person also has good administrative ability.

This is precious, after all, the hangar transformed by the space spar is still empty, and professionals need to further divide and transform this space, and Ramsey came at the right time.

“Colonel Ramsey, I officially appoint you as the aviation staff officer of the Yanhuang, fully responsible for the management of this hangar and all carrier-based aircraft, any request can be put forward, I will do my best to satisfy you.”

Ye Bai did not hesitate to appoint Ramsey as an aviation staff officer, and the reason why he was not directly appointed as a fleet staff officer was because there was no need for that, just like Lütyans, the official position was the captain of the Yanhuang, but in fact he was responsible for the operational command of the entire fleet in wartime.

Although Ramsey is a captain in the navy and is also good at commanding aircraft carrier operations, but in the final analysis, he is just a colonel, becoming a staff officer of the entire Chinese fleet, and some are not qualified, in Ye Bai’s heart, the real god of aircraft carrier command is actually Nimitz, Spruance and others. (Read violent novels, just go to Feilu Fiction Network!) ）

“Yes, Commander.”

For Ye Bai’s trust, Ramsay directly saluted upright, his expression was a little excited, but after he looked around the empty hangar, his face instantly collapsed.

“Commander, I need help, the area of this hangar is too large, I can’t manage it alone, at least 10 officers must be equipped for me, and there are enough engineers and soldiers to form various branches.”

Now that he had accepted the appointment, Ramsey did not hesitate and directly made a request, which required a large number of personnel assistance.

Ye Bai breathed a sigh of relief, Ramsey’s request seemed normal to him, today’s Yanhuang is an escort aircraft carrier, almost everything is for carrier-based aircraft, naturally requires a large number of branches to coordinate, and it is natural to need more officers.

Nodded, simply directly spent 3 million again, recruited 20 lieutenant-level officers and a large number of engineers and ground staff from the system, and instantly made the originally empty hangar appear densely packed with figures.

Seeing that his own commander was so powerful, Ramsey’s expression on his face was much better, and he saluted Ye Bai, then turned around and called the 20 officers over, and then began to set up branch departments one by one.

According to Ramsay’s orders, these officers quickly selected suitable candidates from the engineers, mechanics, and ground crew behind them, and put them into work, first dividing the empty hangar into different areas.

Although Ye Bai is not yet able to modify the hull structure, this hangar is transformed by him using space spar, and the internal space can be transformed by him at will, and it will not have any impact on the hull structure of the Yanhuang.

Looking at the more than 2,000 busy officers and soldiers, Ye Bai was actually a little anxious in his heart, and quickly called Ramsey over and asked: “Colonel Ramsey, according to your transformation plan, how long will it take to complete the transformation of the hangar and put it into use?” ”

Hearing Ye Bai’s question, Ramsey frowned, calculated a little, and replied: “Commander, the area of this hangar is too large, although there are so many soldiers to help, but if you want to complete all the transformation, it will take at least 3 days to complete.” ”

Ye Bai was stunned for a moment, and said in a somewhat anxious tone: “Colonel Ramsey, 3 days is too long, you only have one time at most, tomorrow at dawn, I need this hangar to allow carrier-based aircraft to take off fighters, I need them to fight for me.” “。
