Chapter 367: Taking Shape

By October 17, Bai Zhizhan had returned to Nagiu Port aboard the "Peijing."

Although the "Peijing" had not been damaged in combat, its power system's chronic issues had resurfaced and needed to be thoroughly inspected while back in port.

In the coming months, the "Peijing" would be the only carrier in the Empire's Navy capable of engaging in battle.

The "Heng River"?

According to the message from the Navy headquarters on the 16th, the "Heng River" had structural damage to its hull, and it was originally planned to return to the shipyard for major repairs by the end of the year. Due to many main battleships requiring maintenance, the overhaul of the "Heng River" had been postponed until next year.

This carrier cannot be counted on for the time being.

In fact, due to the absence of the "Heng River," the Navy headquarters had planned to call back the "Sea Dragon" that had followed the First Fleet south.
