In the past, the task of transporting a large amount of aluminum resources was a very dangerous task. Because there were a large number of merchant ships in the fleet, the battleships were highly restricted. Generally, only the vanguard fleets in previous missions were followed. The battleship fleets, as the main strike force, would operate near the merchant ships, and the aircraft carriers would be some distance away from the merchant ships. Such large-scale operations test the command ability. The warships left in the merchant ships must be flexible enough and capable.

The position of the battleship fleet is also very important, especially this time because Colorado is slow in speed, the position of the battleship fleet is very important, and the position of the aircraft carrier fleet is also very important. When retracting and releasing carrier-based aircraft, the aircraft carrier needs to sail at full speed against the wind, and the speed of merchant ships is generally quite slow, so the position of the aircraft carrier is very important. The aircraft carrier fleet cannot turn around and maneuver in one position, so how to maintain its position is quite a test of the fleet's command.

These problems are not difficult for Canberra to follow the warships operating in merchant ships, and the position of the battleship fleet is not difficult, but the position of the aircraft carrier fleet is quite difficult. She is not very good at this, but this problem is very important. After some discussion with Miss Dignity and the Glorious Ship Girl, the aircraft carrier fleet decided to follow the aircraft carrier fleet at a longer distance behind the merchant ship. This distance can exert the combat effectiveness of the aircraft carrier and prevent the aircraft carrier from catching up with the merchant fleet too quickly.

During the battle, the position of the aircraft carrier is very important. It is quite dangerous to maneuver in a certain place. During the Mariana Naval Battle between the largest aircraft carriers in history, the commander of the mobile force of a certain island country, Jisaburo Ozawa, had such a requirement. As a result, when the aircraft carrier was spinning, he was attacked by a US submarine. Shotori was hit by four torpedoes and sank. Although Dafeng was hit by one torpedo, the extremely volatile fuel obtained from Borneo was damaged. These fuels directly led to the sinking of Dafeng. This is a bloody lesson and must be considered.

You should know that in that era, the surface speed of submarines was only about twenty knots, and the underwater speed was generally less than ten knots. If the high speed of about twenty knots was maintained underwater was less than one hour, it would be out of power. The speed of aircraft carriers was basically around thirty knots. If the aircraft carrier did not maneuver and circle to maintain the so-called off-range tactics, the speed would be much slower and still be on the vast sea. In that era, conventional submarines were not nuclear submarines, so how could they have sneak attacked aircraft carriers?

This is a place where aircraft carriers are troublesome in combat. Although aircraft carriers have strong combat power, there are many problems, especially when aircraft carriers collect and release carrier-based aircraft, aircraft carriers need to sail at full speed against the wind. In this state, the aircraft carrier cannot maneuver and can only go straight. At this time, it is quite easy to be successfully attacked. Not only the submarine attack, but the sneak attacks of other warships are also amazing. During the ninth fleet exercises participated by Lexington and Saratoga in history, Saratoga was recycled to recover carrier-based aircraft that "sneaked" Panama locks, and his sister Lexington's carrier-based aircraft happened to be synchronized. As a result, Saratoga was "sinked" by his sister. Dafeng was hit by a torpedo. He was also deploying carrier-based aircraft. He was originally hit by two torpedoes, but one carrier-based aircraft was blocking one.

In addition to the trouble of retracting and releasing carrier-based aircraft, aircraft carriers are greatly affected by the weather. The best situation is that there are clouds nearby the aircraft carrier fleet fighting, but it is best not to affect the battle. In this way, when encountering flying monsters or other aircraft carriers, you can hide in the clouds to avoid being attacked. This problem has been experienced by the Ruihe aircraft carrier in history. In addition to these, there is also the problem of night combat. In this world, the existence of a ship girl makes the aircraft carrier fight at night, but the night combat capability of an aircraft carrier is quite limited, which is also something that needs to be considered. However, for Miss Dignity and Glorious Ship Girl, the problem of dark sky is not very big. However, Miss Dignity often fights at night, while Glorious Ship Girl does not have such an experience and needs to be familiar with it to fight normally.

After some trouble, the formation problem was finally solved, but the formation still had a big problem, that is, the team protecting the merchant ship was too weak. The five historical battleship girls of Gao Fatty all raised this point, especially the two aircraft carriers. The core of this mission was the aluminum resources on the merchant ship. If something happened to the aluminum resources on the merchant ship, this mission would be meaningless. Therefore, Miss Dignity and the Glorious Ship Girl were quite opposed to Canberra staying in the aircraft carrier fleet. These two aircraft carriers felt that Canberra should be in the merchant ship team. This time, their aircraft carriers were not the core target.

After some discussion, Canberra stayed in the merchant fleet. As part of the compromise, a 5A battleship of the island commander would follow the battle. This 5A battleship followed Gao Fatty's two aircraft carriers and accepted the command of these two aircraft carriers. Although its strength will affect its strength after being away from the commander, as a 5A battleship, the level will definitely be quite high. The improvement of the level can effectively reduce the influence of the commander. Therefore, for the 5A battleship, even if it is far away from the commander, there are not many people who have decreased their strength even if it is far away from the commander. After some cooperation and exercise, they can effectively assume the responsibilities that Canberra originally planned to assume.

Originally, Miss Dignity and the Glorious Ship Girl planned to let the Hao come to assist in the air defense, because the Hao and they were both the Gao Fatty Warships, but were rejected by Canberra. In this operation, the three battleships of Gao Fatty Warships were very important strike forces, and for the Glorious Ship Girl, the Hao was not fast. In fact, Canberra's main purpose of opposing the Hao's joining the aircraft carrier was not to weaken the strike force, but to use the Hao's outstanding air defense capabilities to protect other battleships of the battleship fleet. The Hao's four-unit main gun often fails. Canberra is clear about this, and the Hao's current strike capabilities are not as good as a high-level 5A battleship, but the Hao's air defense capabilities, which have advanced sighting equipment and shields, are one order of magnitude stronger than the 5A battleship.
