No the correct name is "Bismarck.
storywolf,
For F-14 to hit the Mach 2 barrier, it must utilise it's "
afterburner ". Using this tactics would dry up it's fuel quickly.
This tactic would also spread up the Zeros.
Now, read my post correctly.
Because, you said Jap ships. The CVN has no fore-cannon, thus,
how the hell can the fleet put run a fighter-bomber.
Only the Jap is a fleet in this senario, and the Fighterbomber
is the F-14.
What is the chance of planes even reaching the Nimitz ?
F-14s will just need to speed closed to them at top speed, the
sound wave itself will do the job. Missile will work or not, but it
will sure to add some shock and break them up. Next f-14 are armed
with guns, that will do the job.
By the way, the jap can only bomb what can find. In the first
place, with nimitz own radar and hawkeye that already ensure no
aircraft would have spotted or know Nimitz exact position. You
think the whole jap planes will be send out to bomb unknow ?
Ok to make it fun, let us even radio the jap fleet and inform them
where the Nimitz is ! You think the japanese plane can find it.
Nimitz itself is capable of speed of up to 30+ knots. It need to
just use those horse power to move itself, even if the Japs planes
manage to get through , they will find nothing. At 30+ knots , it
already move out of area which the jap can only dream of.
Even if stay put to wait for the them to drop toperdo, you must
remember the japs are train to use topedo against a slow 2nd wwII
ship, he will not know how to estimate to launch his torpedo at a
30 knot speeding ship. That mean Nimitz can move out of the way of
launch toperodo attacks
I suggest you read my post accurately, the senario is
IF both detected each other at the same
time.
You mean the Japs do not have radars, I have alraedy explained the
limitation of CVNs, in this aspect. The Zeros are, in fact, about
slightly less than half the speed of the F14. They can reach the
CVN. 30 knots to any aircraft is minute. If the CVN are not at
designated, then they would be still be at visible distance.
Torpedoes avoidance is possible off-course, but you will launch at
intercept way point - that is infront of it. CVN are huge ships the
need more than afew hundred meters to stop and turns slow.
