The Milky Way is Also a Grain of Sand
Chapter 582 Departure!
The Fifth Fleet's First Air Battle Squadron was entirely stationed on the aircraft carrier "Kaga."
This aircraft carrier was built by the Japanese themselves, converted from the "Kaga" battleship. Construction began on February 13, 1923, and was completed on March 31, 1928.
The ship had a standard displacement of 30,000 tons, a length of 238.5 meters, a width of 29.6 meters, a draft of 1.93 meters, and a depth of 15.45 meters.
The power plant consisted of four steam turbines, twelve main boilers, an output of 91,000 horsepower, four propellers, and a speed of 27.5 knots per hour.
The crew numbered 1,630. The ship's weaponry included two twin-mounted 200mm guns, six 200mm single-mounted guns, six twin-mounted 120mm guns, four twin-mounted 13.2mm anti-aircraft machine guns, and two twin-mounted 7.7mm machine guns.
The ship could carry about sixty fighter and bomber aircraft. Currently, due to the shortage of aircraft, the First Air Battle Squadron had not been fully equipped.
Just as this aircraft carrier discovered a group of aircraft flying towards them and beginning to dive for bombing, the commander of the First Air Battle Squadron, Hideki Ohno, hurriedly urged the twelve fighters remaining on the deck to take off immediately.
