The massive fleet on the high seas

Over 700 kilometers away from Dragon Island, in the southern seas, a colossal fleet was navigating the waters. On a destroyer cruising in the distance, radar was actively scanning the surrounding sea surface, ensuring that no vessels could approach the true core of the fleet.

The very heart of the entire fleet was the four massive aircraft carriers sailing in the middle. Flanking the aircraft carriers on both sides were two bulky battleships cutting through the waves as they moved.

The flat decks of the four aircraft carriers were packed with Naval Stuka Dive Bombers and brand-new Pirate Fighters.

Interestingly, while the Air Force of Tang Country was gradually phasing out the Stuka Dive Bomber, the Navy was increasing its number of Stuka Dive Bombers.

Judging by the two models of aircraft equipped by the Navy, Marshal Bernard seemed to have a special fondness for the inverted gull wing design, utilized in both the Stuka and Pirate models.
