Battle of the Chesapeake Bay...

Among the countless decisive battle-level naval battles in human history, it may only be a small-scale, non-classical battle of the mean.

In this battle, Britain and France, the two great powers of the world, brought together an unprecedented powerful sea power in the history of the New World War, but deployed two mediocre commanders.

Yes, it's mediocre.

In this critical battle, neither the French admiral François Joseph Paul de Grasse nor the British commander Rear Admiral Graves failed to show the true standards of the two navies.

The lackluster French victory of the battle ended, and it didn't take long for most people in the industry to lose weight.

But for Americans, it is the most important and greatest naval battle in human history.

Because it was part of the Great Victory in Yorktown, it was the small victory that could not leave a mark in the history of human warfare that made the British troops trapped in Yorktown completely abandon their dream of breaking through.

The victory in Yorktown laid the end of the War of Independence. After eight years of fighting, the United States finally broke away from Britain and became an important independent member of the human world.

This battle has irreplaceable political significance in the United States. Therefore, even if the weak United States has only undertaken a very small part of the logistics in this battle, it has not even been seen on the battlefield. It is still regarded by the U.S. Navy as naval history. The first representative battle.

No one thought that Fafna behind the screen would actually bring this naval battle to the podium of the defense meeting...

"The Chesapeake Bay naval battle is a classic case of traditional battle line application."

Favna's voice was weak, making it impossible to tell whether it was sincerity or sarcasm.

"The two sides of the war are equipped with 32 French battleships and 19 British battleships. It seems that there is a huge difference in firepower, but from the analysis of other similar cases, it is easy to draw a conclusion that the combat power of the two sides is similar."

"The root cause of this non-equal similarity is actually the root of the battle line tactics, which is to arrange the fleet in a specific way to make it relatively static on the sea for a relatively long period of time, and to achieve concentration of fire in a unit of time. A large amount of ammunition was poured into the sea area of ​​the unit, to win by quantity, and to increase the absolute number of hits on the target in the roughest way to achieve victory."

"In this battle, France was 32 to 19, and neither side had a first-class warship. The ratio of second-class warships was similar. Therefore, the amount of ammunition should be close to 3 to 2 for each round of saturation."

"However, France’s advantage lies in its long range and precise shooting. These two advantages are offset to the greatest extent in the battle line. Britain’s advantage lies in its rate of fire. Special operating regulations allow their heavy artillery to fire at a rate of 23 or even 12 that of France. In actual combat, the theoretical projection capabilities of both parties are basically the same."

"Britain's defeat is due to the abnormal dispatching. 23 of the originally disadvantaged fleet failed to reach the combat position in time. As a result, when the decisive battle began, the two sides showed a lopsided situation."

"France's defeat lies in the rigidity of its tactics and its failure to adjust to a more targeted formation in time, so that the god-given opportunity slipped away from hand, and under the huge advantage, it only severely injured a British battleship."

Lorraine heard a disdainful sneer. The person who laughed was Lieutenant General Lingoes, the deputy chief of staff.

"Everyone will say, little girl, since you said that the French fleet was also defeated in Chesapeake, why don't you guess why they didn't adjust their formation in time?"

Silence fell behind the screen, and Lieutenant General Lingoes' emotions grew even stronger.

"Why? Can't guess? Don't dare to guess? Or are you worried that the previous big story will be punctured and let us see your layman's appearance?"

"No...it's not..." explained in a low voice behind the screen, "I originally prepared a lot of connected topics... I never thought that someone would cooperate like this..."

"what?"

"Why do the French sit and watch the warplane slip away and not change the battle? The answer to this question coincides with one of today's most important questions. Why is the United States not suitable for battleships now."

Favna re-enters the popular science mode.

"I mentioned the battle line before. The key to its formation is to keep the fleet in a relatively static state during the battle, so as to improve the efficiency of fire concentration."

"However, the ocean itself is not static. Ocean currents, water depths, wind speeds, wind directions...Even if they are close at hand, the situation that each ship needs to face cannot be exactly the same. To achieve tactical effects, grassroots sailors must have a high level of professionalism. Quality."

"In today's world, the basic requirements for the battle lines of the three countries of Britain, France, and West are not to deform for at least two hours and not to disintegrate for six hours. This is the result of their tactical accumulation for hundreds of years."

"The composition of the U.S. Navy is similar to that of Drake's direct fleet. Sailors are mostly born in fishing boats, merchant ships, privateers, and pirates, and most commanders have no commanding experience in battle lines."

"Considering the performance of the direct fleet in the battle line exercise, the U.S. Navy can only maintain its shape for about half an hour, and it will not disintegrate for two hours, which is far from meeting the basic combat requirements."

"In the battle line to adjust the formation on a large scale, the commander has to take a huge risk. If he is not careful, the fleet will fall into an irreparable state of chaos. Because of this, France would rather sit back and watch the victory in the Chesapeake Bay naval battle. slip."

"On the other hand, the battleship without the blessing of the battle line is at best a clumsy large gunboat. In order to achieve the fire concentration effect of the battle line, the United States needs to make at least five ships in a short period of time if the quality of the seafarers is up to the standard. A battleship entered active service."

"Comprehensive construction costs and manpower requirements, the Chamber of Commerce believes that the current United States is not suitable for ordering battleships. Compared with this traditional maritime weapon, the unique battle cruiser of the Chamber of Commerce is a better choice for your country."

The eloquence is justified and well-founded.

Favna did not have the talent to persuade people. She neither dared to exchange eyes with the person she was speaking, nor did she have enough language skills to express her views clearly and orderly.

What she can do is to pour out her knowledge according to the outline and turn it into a reference, so that the audience can decompose the required nutrients from it and think about it.

And this happens to be what America needs most right now.

On the one hand, they need to build a powerful navy framework in the shortest possible time to boost the prestige of the central government, protect their coastlines and merchants walking on the sea.

On the other hand, they lack technology, budget, poor and white ~ lightnovelpub.net ~ can not meet the actual needs of the developed economy for maritime force.

Reality has destined that the U.S. Navy must find a way to build an army that is different from the old maritime power. This is the duty and right of contemporary American soldiers and politicians. They only need to refer to, not to be persuaded.

Washington felt satisfied, like eating top desserts, full of sweet and long aftertaste.

He sighed comfortably.

"Mr. President, your representative gave us a wonderful defense. We finally have a certain understanding of the ocean. Although these understandings are not enough to make us a powerful country immediately, your kindness impresses us. mind."

"I know that you still have real food that hasn't been served on the table. Drake must have designed a procurement plan and basic tactics for the United States, but I hope that this will end today."

Lorraine frowned: "Mr. President, this is very unfair."

"I know this is not fair, so I assure you that if I am still alive after the meeting with General Drake, I will try my best to persuade the Confederate Assembly to give you the first order for the U.S. Navy. This is George Washington’s promise..."
