In this military expansion plan, each aircraft carrier group includes 1 aircraft carrier, 8 to 12 surface ships, and 2 nuclear-powered attack submarines, keeping the total number at 12 to 15. Later, the United States increased the number of aircraft carrier battle groups

The standard composition was changed to 1 aircraft carrier, 2 "Ticonderoga" class cruisers, 2 "Arleigh Burke" class destroyers, 2 "Spruance" class destroyers, and 2 "Los Angeles" class nuclear-powered ships

Attack submarines and a comprehensive supply ship, a total of about 10 ships of various types. Then the United States changed the aircraft carrier battle group to a core aircraft carrier battle group, with 1 aircraft carrier and 2 to 3 guided missile cruisers as the core; in addition to specific responsibilities

During combat missions, each group is assigned 4 to 7 surface combatants, 1 to 2 attack nuclear submarines, and 1 to 2 logistics ships. In order to improve the rapid response and deployment capabilities of aircraft carrier forces, the U.S. Navy once again strengthened the deployment of aircraft carrier formations.

The formation was completely reorganized and the scale was further reduced. The escort ships in each aircraft carrier formation were reduced to 5-6, and the standard formation was 1 aircraft carrier, 1 "Ticonderoga"-class guided missile cruiser, 2-3 destroyers,

1 nuclear-powered attack submarine and 1 fast support combat ship. There is no way around this. If the Americans were as rich as the energy group, I guess they would not reduce the fleet size like this, and the Americans don’t like it.

They don't think the small and medium-sized aircraft carriers are worth it, so the energy group doesn't care. They can just add 20 times more concentrated fuel to them, which is almost the same as a nuclear-powered one.

Although Europa's expansion plan is very strong, anyone with a discerning eye can see that it is their limit to maintain the current fifteen aircraft carrier battle group. It seems that they do not have the ability to continue to expand. As for Great Russia, everyone

Just ignore them directly. Let them solve their own domestic affairs first. Going out blindly will only make you look bad.

After all the events were announced, the most depressing one was Gogol. He could have gotten 10 billion euros from Li to help him operate. Unfortunately, something like that happened the next day. He definitely didn't.

His influence brought Li Cong's people back, so he had no choice but to say goodbye to Li Cong's money. However, Li Cong was still very generous and gave this guy the five tons of gold in the Bank of Paris.

The price of two billion yuan is not bad. Although it is much less than 10 billion euros, it is still OK. Later, Li Cong contacted this guy again and wanted to use SAS to rescue the three thousand people.

Soldiers must get the information about their detention through this guy. This information fee is the Europa equipment in Li Cong's hands. It is of no use if it is left in his own hands. It is better to give it to this guy and let him use the remaining heat.

Good.

After receiving Li Cong's order, the five aircraft carrier battle groups and their large number of subordinates have arrived in an area less than 400 nautical miles away from the British Isles. Their aircraft have intentionally or unintentionally begun to head towards the British Isles, which has been without war for decades.

They are getting closer. At this moment, in the English Channel, a large amount of supplies are also being transported to the British Isles. They are also afraid that there will be a real blockade. Breaking the blockade depends on absolute storage. At the same time, in the former British Isles in the north of the English Channel,

The Royal Navy also moved south symbolically, preparing to intercept the energy group's fleet, but his fleet seemed a little smaller. At this time, Europa did not want to use their Atlantic fleet at the door of the Mediterranean.

The Royal Navy is the oldest branch of the British military and is responsible for maritime defense, protecting shipping, and fulfilling military agreements. From about 1692 to World War I, the Royal Navy was the largest and most powerful navy in the world;

It helped Britain become the most powerful military and economic power in the 18th and 19th centuries; it was also an important tool for maintaining the British Empire. Although it has declined, the Royal Navy was still the largest navy in Europe and the second largest navy in the world before the outbreak of the war; it was also the largest navy in the world.

One of the most advanced navies. It is the forerunner of most modern navies; many naval officers and soldiers from the Commonwealth and the North Atlantic Treaty Organization still go to the UK for training. After the collapse of the Soviet Union and the end of the Cold War, the main mission of the Royal Navy in the 21st century has been

The deterrent force was transformed into a force that can demonstrate British foreign policy around the world. After the establishment of Europa, the United Kingdom vacillated between Europa and the United States. One arrived in Europa and absorbed the United Kingdom, and the Royal Navy did not join Europa's central navy.

, but became the first fleet in the Atlantic Ocean. This is also the intention of Europa's top management. If they are opened, their combat effectiveness may drop quickly.

Although the strength of the Royal Navy cannot keep up with these five task force fleets, they feel that with their centuries-old reputation, they can stop them for a while. After enjoying God for three days in the UK, they rely on the reputation earned by their ancestors to hit the road.

Yes, in fact, historically speaking, the Royal Navy is indeed an admirable army.

The first use of organized sea power in Britain was by Alfred the Great of Wessex, who sent ships to defend against Viking invasions. Naval operations had always been local, defensive

It was temporary and temporary until the French occupied Normandy in the 13th century and trade activities expanded to Spain and Portugal. At that time, ships began to be used to transport infantry for land battles. But in 1340, at the Battle of Sluys (battlesluys)

The Chinese and British navies are already engaged in maritime operations.

Henry VIII organized a fleet equipped with large artillery and established a naval administration. Under the leadership of Elizabeth I, the navy developed into Britain's main defense force and became a means of global expansion of the British Empire. Charles II

The maritime force was named the Royal Navy, although during the English Civil War (1642-1651), the army was controlled by Parliament.

In the 18th century, the Royal Navy and the French Navy engaged in a long struggle for maritime hegemony. After four wars from 1688 to 1763, Britain defeated France. In the British war against Napoleon, the Royal Navy played a key role and won the victory in 1805.

After the Battle of Trafalgar, the Royal Navy never faced a French challenge again. During this period, Lord Nelson was probably the greatest admiral in history. During the remainder of the 19th century, the Royal Navy helped

Maintaining the so-called Pax Britannica, that is, a long-term relative peace situation resulting from the balance of power among the major European countries, depended entirely on the use of British maritime supremacy.

After entering the 20th century, the Royal Navy is still the most powerful navy in the world. In World War I, the Royal Navy's main task was to blockade the enemy from the sea. In 1916, it fought with Germany in the North Sea near the Jutland Peninsula of Denmark.

The Battle of Jutland broke out in the Navy. This was the only major fleet battle in World War I in which both warring parties were fully mobilized. As the enemy launched submarine warfare, its mission gradually shifted to protecting shipping from submarine attacks. During the war, the British

The Naval Air Force was established. In 1937, all carrier-based aircraft came under the jurisdiction of the Fleet Air Force.

After the Second World War, the Royal Navy ranked second in the world after the United States Navy in size. It is still a leading country in maritime warfare, especially in anti-submarine warfare. Its main task is to protect shipping routes. In the late 20th century, the Royal Navy

The navy has shrunk in size and ranks third in the world after the U.S. Navy and the Soviet Navy.

In 1964, the Naval Board was merged into the Ministry of Defense. After 1967, the administrative affairs of the Navy were under the responsibility of the Parliamentary Secretary of the Navy. The establishment organizations of the Royal Navy include: Fleet Commander, Naval Home Force, Naval Air Force and Royal Marines.

Although the Royal Navy has shrunk in size since the 1960s, it assumed the nuclear deterrent mission in 1969 and maintains a nuclear-armed submarine force.

From the 17th century to the 1940s, the Royal Navy has been the most powerful fleet in the world. It is the cornerstone of British national strategy. After experiencing a post-war trough, the end of the Cold War has faced changes in its combat missions and combat modes.

Completely changed, the 1998 "United Kingdom Strategic Defense Review" provided guiding opinions on the mission, tasks, scale and structure of the Royal Navy. After more than 40 years of wandering, the Royal Navy has finally returned to the path of a global fleet.

Two Queen Elizabeth-class aircraft carriers plus three Invincible-class aircraft carriers have become the backbone of the Royal Navy. The two new aircraft carriers are worth approximately 3.9 billion pounds and have a displacement of 65,000 tons. They will be completed in 2014 and 2016. They will carry

The F-35C fighter jet will replace the retired Harrier attack aircraft. The 21,700-ton amphibious assault ship USS Ocean, which will be commissioned in 2029 and can carry 30 helicopters and 800 soldiers, and the two 21,500-ton Ocean Sons, which will be commissioned between 2033 and 2034.

Class amphibious landing ship docks joined the Royal Navy one after another, and subsequently four 16,190-ton Gulf-class auxiliary landing ships were commissioned, which greatly improved the Royal Navy's amphibious warfare capabilities.

The frigate fleet is mostly composed of destroyers and frigates. Currently, the old 15 Type 42 destroyers are gradually being replaced by the new Type 45 destroyers. The Royal Navy has ordered 20 Type 45 destroyers. These are for the Royal Navy, not the Europa Navy.

Yes, the Europa Navy's warships in service are also Type 45, but the shipyard still gives priority to supplying the Royal Navy. The Royal Navy also has 4 Type 22 frigates and 13 Type 23 frigates, and is developing an updated 6,000-ton Type 26 to replace the above frigates.

Frigate.

The location where the Royal Navy is deploying this time is the English Channel. As long as it is not blocked by energy groups, the British Isles will not be in crisis. It is not so easy to block the English Channel. It sounds like

Five aircraft carrier battle groups are quite a lot, but there seems to be some problems for the entire English Channel.

The English Channel (English channel, Breton: mor breizh, Welsh: mr udd, French: la manche), also known as the Strait of La Manche, and Hong Kong called the English Channel, is the strait that separates the United Kingdom from the European continent.

(1 degree 0' west longitude, 50 degrees 20' north latitude). Its narrowest water area is the Strait of Dover, which faces Calais, France across the sea. Many military conflicts and naval battles have occurred here in history.

.

A long and narrow bay in the Atlantic Ocean that separates the southern coast of England and the northern coast of France. The French name (meaning "sleeve") refers to its shape, which gradually narrows from west to east. The widest point is about 180 kilometers and the narrowest point is 34 kilometers (21 miles).

Between Dover, England and Calais, France). The eastern end of the English Channel is connected to the North Sea by the Dover Strait. It covers an area of ​​about 75,000 square kilometers (2

000 square miles), the smallest among the shallow seas on the European continental shelf, with the average depth decreasing from 120 meters to the east to 45 meters. For the people who invaded Britain from Europe in history, the English Channel was both a passage and an obstacle, which made them

It became an important area in early, detailed hydrographic surveys, and its seabed is the most frequently explored seabed in the world. The seabed near the coast drops sharply, with the west generally flat and the east undulating. The English Channel was formed about 40 million years ago.

Scientifically significant, especially regarding the effects of powerful tides.

The narrowest area is only 34 kilometers, which is really difficult for the energy group's blockade fleet. In the narrowest area, the Royal Navy is already ready, and they can also rely on the support of thousands of aircraft on both sides.

Speaking of which, their abilities are definitely not weak.

Between the United Kingdom and France, the "La Manche Strait" is part of the "English Channel". It is 560km long and has an average width of 180km. It connects to the Atlantic Ocean in the west and the North Sea in the northeast via the Strait of Dover. It is an important international shipping channel. Tidal drop

It is relatively large, has rich tidal power resources, and is also an important fishing ground.

Also known as the Strait of La Manche (French la manche, meaning sleeve), and the Strait of Dover (called the Strait of Calais in French) in the northeast, they are located between the island of Great Britain and the European continent. The northeast is connected to the North Sea, and the southwest is connected to the Atlantic Ocean.

It covers an area of ​​89,900 square kilometers, runs northeast-southwest (wide), and is shaped like a trumpet. The Strait of Dover and the English Channel are about 600 kilometers in total, roughly bounded by the Seine Estuary in France to Portsmouth on the south coast of England. The former

It is narrow in the east and wide in the west, with an average width of about 180 kilometers and a maximum width of 220 kilometers. The narrowest point of the latter is only 33 kilometers from Dover, England to Cape Gray, west of Calais, France. The average depth of the English Channel is 60 meters.

Deepest 172

The average depth of the Strait of Dover is 30 meters, with the shallowest point only 24 meters.

The English Channel is part of the Atlantic Ocean, located between England and France, with a maximum width of 240 kilometers in the southwest and a straight-line distance of 33.8 kilometers in the narrowest point in the northeast, that is, from Dover in the United Kingdom to Calais in France, and from Dover to Calais.

Part of the strait is a crossing area recognized by the British Channel Association. Although the distance from Dover to Calais is less than 1/3 of the Bohai Strait, its difficulty is not simply measured by distance. The average water temperature in the English Channel is 13.6 degrees Celsius.
