Chapter 2728 The dissatisfaction of the Italian ship girl
Kowtow, thank you for your monthly ticket 13720136763!!!
This time, the Italian ship girl was actually Veneto, who was paying attention to the SSS-class historical warships. Other Italian ship girls were not paying attention to the SSS-class historical warships but other aspects. The number of historical warships of British and American ship girls was particularly concerned by Italian ship girls. This attention is amazing, because these Italian ship girls know how many British warships there were in history.
Although Italy's intelligence capabilities were not very good during World War II, Italy is still clear about the strength of the British navy. After all, an important reason for Italy's participation in World War II in history was the intensification of conflicts between Italy and France. At that time, Britain and France could be called ally, and they still knew a lot about Italy, an ally of their opponent.
It is precisely because of historical understanding that the Italian ship girl has an understanding of the number of British historical warships. One of the important reasons why the Italian ship girl was not very anxious before was that the number of British historical warships was not many, and there were not many powerful warships. Of course, the number of British historical warships was more than that of Italian historical warships. However, this Italian ship girl didn't care much, because the gap in the number of historical warships was not that big, ordinary warships could make up for the strength here, but now it is different.
The British ship girl had three SSS-class historical warships in this period of time. This is quite remarkable. The British ship girl who originally only had the Queen was not that scary. Even if her reputation appeared, it was no big deal. Although it was a bit unexpected, it was normal for the Hood to become an SSS-class historical warship. The glory of the Royal Navy was not a false reputation. The Hood to bear the SSS-class historical warship, but the appearance of Exeter really made the Italian ship girl panic.
The Italian ship girl clearly knows that the strength of Exeter in history is not strong, and it can be said that it is a bit weak. The treaty heavy cruiser is much stronger than Exeter, whether it is the Kaohsiung-class heavy cruiser of an island country or the Zara-class heavy cruiser of Italy. However, in this case, Exeter can still become an SSS-class historical warship. You must know that although the Zara-class heavy cruiser was stronger in history, four Zara-class heavy cruisers were sunk in the Naval Battle of Cape Matapan. In history, the Zara-class heavy cruiser did not perform well. The Italian Navy performed best in World War II, but other aspects, especially the Frogman troops, but the Kaohsiung-class heavy cruiser is different. Although the Kaohsiung-class heavy cruiser is not that powerful, it is stronger than Exeter no matter what.
In history, Kaohsiung-class heavy cruisers had a neat nickname. This is because before the Battle of Lyte Gulf, there were many Kaohsiung-class heavy cruisers. Four Kaohsiung-class heavy cruisers were incorporated into Keno Kurita's main fleet in the Battle of Lyte Gulf. They were sneak attacked by US submarines in the Palawan waterway. Kaohsiung was injured and then sunk by British troops in the Strait of Malacca. Atogo Maya was sunk on the spot. Toohai had nothing to do at that time, but was severely damaged by the US Tafi 3 in the Battle of Sama Island a few days later. Later, they were sunk by their own destroyers. Although the four Kaohsiung did not survive World War II, they were better than Exeter in history in terms of both their record and strength.
In history, Exeter's theory was actually to encircle Count Spee. However, although he successfully blocked Count Spee into Uruguay, Exeter was also seriously injured during the battle. Although Count Spee suffered greater losses, his combat effectiveness was basically still in Exeter's turret. In fact, the situation of these British warships was very bad at this time. If Count Spee came out of Uruguay and was ready to fight to the death, it was really hard to say what the result would be. After all, reputation was only in Churchill's mouth. In fact, reputation did not come at all. It was hard to say how the three British cruisers who were injured would be in the future. However, in the end, Count Spee went to sea to sank himself to avoid a big battle.
Exeter's performance in this naval battle cannot be said to be very good, but it is not very bad. After all, Earl Spee has two triple-mounted 280mm main guns, while Exeter's main gun is eight inches, which is 203mm. The caliber of the main gun is several levels short of the caliber. Exeter still penetrates Earl Spee. This is also the highest moment of Exeter's service career.
Later, Exeter went to the Far East to participate in the ABDA fleet. Needless to say, the fate of the ABDA fleet was finally defeated and collapsed. Exeter was sunk on the way to run. Exeter in history was not strong enough to become an SSS-class historical warship because it was the last heavy cruiser built by the UK, and it became an SSS-class historical warship. This situation really scared the Italian ship girl, because according to Exeter's situation, it can be said that the number of British SSS-class historical warships far exceeded the expectations of Italian ship girls.
After research, the Italian ship girl felt very wronged because the last warship of this type built in British history can become an SSS-class historical warship. This is really unacceptable. The Italian ship girl is really unwilling to accept why the British warship can have privileges. Later, the avant-garde came and the Italian ship girl also felt that there was something wrong, because although the avant-garde was the last battleship to start construction in history, it was not the final completion. The Jean-Bar battleship, which ended the construction of the battleship in history, was now an SS-class historical warship. The Italian ship girl felt that it was also very problematic for the avant-garde to become an SSS-class historical warship.
In fact, the idea of Italian ship girls is very common in fair forces. Why does British ship girls have such benefits? Although American ship girls have recently appeared many SSS-class historical warships, they are all very convincing. Washington, Saratoga is not an ordinary warship. Saratoga is a pioneer of the US Navy aviation in history and has also performed quite well in the exercises. In this world, Saratoga has nothing to say about becoming an SSS-class historical warship. After Mrs. Lex became an SSS-class historical warship, she understood that Washington had nothing to say.
