Chapter 512 Boarding the Ship
It was another refreshing morning, the warm sun shone on the dewdrops, reflecting a beautiful light.The air is also filled with the aroma of flowers, which makes people feel full of energy.

Well, in fact, Yin Yu really wanted to continue fishing for a day today, but before she could go out, Arisa came to the door directly.

By the time Otowa realized it, she was already in Arisa's car.

Forget it, let's let go of the fishing thing first, after the game is over, it's good enough to touch it, and the naval battle project is also not to be missed.

Thanks to the efficient ctOS, the traffic conditions in the 22nd century are simply not good, and it didn't take long for the two of them to arrive at the pier.

Just like when Otowa came last time, the pier dedicated to war games was full of ships, and all kinds of warships were coming in and out, which seemed quite busy.

"Speaking of which, have you purchased any new ships?" Otowa tilted his head, and then continued: "I remember that the weight of the naval battle project is quite high."

"Not yet, but Otoyu, you can rest assured, I borrowed a boat from a friend for us to practice."

After Arisa finished speaking, she patted her chest proudly.

This guy's social skills are really strong. When he participated in the award ceremony last time, Yin Yu felt that there was no one in the audience that she didn't know.

And now it's even more awesome, with hundreds of millions of boats borrowed as soon as they say they want, who's daughter of a wealthy family has been cheated by this guy?

"Here, this is the ship we will use in the race."

"Oh?"

Looking at the position pointed by Arisa, Otowa saw a somewhat familiar warship.

The size of this ship is very large. If Otowa guessed correctly, the displacement of this thing should have exceeded [-] tons.

There are two triple-mounted turrets on the front and rear of the hull, and the 12 main guns are quite dazzling under the sun.

Around the bridge of this ship, there are also 6 dual-mounted secondary guns. The elevation angle of these guns looks not small, and they should all be dual-purpose guns.

Because the various features were so obvious, Otowa guessed the identity of the ship in no time.

"Cleveland."

Otoyu had seen this thing before in the national competition. Martina used it to attack the ground. The 12 "6-inch cannons" left a big impression on Otoyu.

The Cleveland class is a light cruiser with the largest number of single stages built by the USN during the war, and it is an improved version of the previous Brooklyn class.

At that time, 52 ships were expected to be built, but 27 were actually built. None of them were sunk until the end of the war.In addition, nine Cleveland-class ships were transformed into Independence-class aircraft carriers.

Although this thing is a light cruiser, its tonnage is not light at all, and its full-load displacement has even reached 1.4 tons, far surpassing the treaty heavy cruiser.

In fact, what distinguishes heavy cruisers from light cruisers is not the tonnage, but the caliber of the main guns they carry.For example, the Mogami used 155mm guns when it was launched, so it was classified as a light cruiser, but after it was replaced with a 203mm gun, it instantly became a heavy cruiser.

Of course, although Cleveland uses a 152mm gun, it is not inferior to the heavy cruiser in terms of firepower. The MK16 naval gun has a single-barreled rate of fire as high as 8-10 rounds per minute, and the firepower projection density of a single ship is even close to 120 rounds per minute. , completely worthy of any opponent of the same tonnage.

除了火力，克利夫兰级的防空能力也是极其强大的，除了6门能发射VT弹的双联装127mm高平两用炮，还有12门40mm博福斯机炮和20门20mm厄利空机炮。

Like many American warships, this thing was also modified with missile launchers after the war, but the war game alliance didn't give it to them.

Under the leadership of Arisa, Otowa boarded the battleship very smoothly.

The body of the Cleveland class is much larger than the Shimura class and Tenryu class that Otowa had been in before, and it looks more beautiful-at least there is finally a decent bridge.

"Shizuku-chan, I'm coming~"

After Otowa finished speaking, he forcefully pushed open the gate of the bridge.

Shizuku was sitting on the captain's seat, flipping through her notebook.

After hearing the voice behind her, she slowly turned around and cast her eyes on Otoyu who had just entered the door.

"Well, welcome back..."

Shizuku's voice wasn't too loud, but Otowa, who was a Force Warrior, heard it clearly.

It seems that Shizuku has changed a lot during this time. If it was the past, she would definitely end the topic with an "um" in an instant.

"How is the ship ready?"

"You can leave anytime."

"Okay, gather the crew and prepare to go to sea."

It's a pity that such a majestic warship stays in the harbor, the vast sea is where she should go.

"Otowa, why don't you go to the boat first to see what?"

Although Arisa was not as fast as Otowa, she felt the bridge now.

"No need." Yin Yu shook his head, and then said with a smile: "This ship was also in Oarai before, and I am quite familiar with it."

While the two were chatting, Shizuku on the side had already started to communicate.

"Engine room, start the boiler."

"Now? Ah, yes!"

The girls in the engine room were not too surprised by the sudden departure to sea, after all, they had gotten used to Shizuku's style after this period of time.

The boiler of the ship is not turned on immediately, even if the war game alliance has optimized the participating ships, it still takes some time to start the battleship.

Without Shizuku's call, the girls on the boat all took the initiative to walk to their jobs after hearing the sound of the boiler running.

Not long after, the light cruiser with a standard displacement of 11800 tons moved down and slowly drove out of the dock where it was moored.

The power system of the Cleveland class is extremely powerful. Driven by a 10-horsepower boiler, the speed of the ship quickly exceeded 30 knots.

"Otoyu, go to the artillery first, we will arrive at the training ground soon."

"I'll see you then."

After greeting the two of them, Otowa set off for the fire control room.

That's right, now Otoyu finally doesn't have to fire the cannon himself, and can comfortably use the air conditioner in the fire control room.

Although the number of weapons on the ship has increased a lot, the operation has become more simplified.Otowa only needs to input corresponding commands on the panel to directly control the 4 main turrets on the ship to attack.

Of course, Otoyu agrees with such an improvement. When he was on the Tianlong class and Zhanshou class, there were only a few gunners for a few cannons. It was too difficult for everyone to unify their shooting parameters.

"It should be like this..."

Yin Yu wasn't all fishing during this time, she still learned a lot, including how to control the equipment in the fire control room.
