At the Philadelphia Ship Storage Base in the United States, Lin Daxin did not make much effort to steal the two Midway-class aircraft carriers USS Roosevelt and USS Coral Sea, two Forrestal-class aircraft carriers USS Raider and USS Independence, and three Kitty Hawk-class aircraft carriers Kitty Hawk, Constellation, and USS Kennedy, a total of seven conventionally powered aircraft carriers, which the Americans had just repaired, into the time and space of the Chinese Empire.

However, Lin Daxin is still greedy and lacks his eyes, and has set his sights on several conventionally powered aircraft carriers that have been decommissioned and turned into aircraft carrier museums in the United States.

Essex-class aircraft carriers with a standard displacement of 27200 tons and a full load displacement of 34880 tons, The length of the ship is 265.8 meters, the width of the ship is 28.3 meters, the maximum draft is 7 meters, 8 heavy oil boilers, 4 steam boiler turbines, the maximum speed is 32 knots, the waterline armor belt is 63 mm to 101 mm, the turret armor is 127 mm, the turret base armor is 28 mm, the flight deck armor is 38 mm, and it has 12 double-caliber 127 mm high-level dual-purpose anti-aircraft guns, 17 four-caliber caliber 40 mm anti-aircraft guns, 50 caliber 20 mm single-barreled anti-aircraft guns, which can carry about 100 fighters of various warplanes during World War II, and requires a staffing of 3,440 people.

The Essex-class aircraft carrier is the largest number of first-class aircraft carriers built in the history of the United States, 32 are planned to be built, and 24 are finally completed, because of the Pearl Harbor incident launched by Japan against the United States in history, the strength of the United States Navy has been hit hard, but the United States is very strong in industry, and after declaring war on Japan, it immediately built aircraft carriers, and the scale of the construction of Essex-class aircraft carriers fully reflects the huge industrial potential of the United States.

At the beginning of the Pacific War. The United States decided to concentrate on mass production according to the standard design of the Essex-class aircraft carriers, so that shipyards could use assembly line operations. In addition, a high degree of standardization has been implemented in areas such as steel types and plates, ship equipment, machinery and weapons. The production of anti-aircraft weapons was almost entirely concentrated in the manufacture of 127 mm anti-aircraft guns, 40 mm anti-aircraft guns and 20 mm anti-aircraft guns, so the construction period of Essex-class aircraft carriers was greatly shortened, and during the Pacific War, the United States had 17 Essex-class aircraft carriers completed and put into service.

The 24 Essex-class aircraft carriers have long since withdrawn from active service in the US Navy. And most of them were dismantled after decommissioning, and even 1 Essex-class aircraft carrier was blown up and sunk by the Americans themselves, becoming the largest artificial reef in the world, and only 4 Essex-class aircraft carriers were converted into aircraft carrier museums and preserved.

The displacement of the Essex-class aircraft carrier and the mythical-class aircraft carrier of the Chinese Empire is not much different, compared with the 3 classes of aircraft carriers that Lin Daxin has stolen to the time and space of the Chinese Empire, it is much smaller, and the other 4 Essex-class aircraft carriers have been retired for many years, and the power system has been completely unusable. Unlike Lin Daxin, who stole 7 aircraft carriers, which have just been repaired, as long as they are equipped with personnel and fuel, they can be started, and if they are equipped with carrier-based aircraft, they can participate in naval battles.

If these four Essex-class aircraft carriers are stolen into the time and space of the Chinese Empire by Lin Daxin, their power systems must be overhauled from the inside out, which will be a very huge project. It is not much less than the time it takes to build an aircraft carrier from scratch.

Lin Daxin came to the United States in modern time and space to steal aircraft carriers. In order to have enough aircraft carriers for the Royal Navy of the Chinese Empire to be put into naval warfare after the United States and Japan entered the war in another time and space, although there is an Essex-class aircraft carrier converted into an aircraft carrier museum here in New York, Lin Daxin is not ready to start with this aircraft carrier museum, and even the other 3 Essex-class aircraft carriers have been converted into aircraft carrier museums, and Lin Daxin has automatically deleted them from his own targets.

Lin Daxin set the target of the midway-class aircraft carrier USS Midway in San Diego Bay, USA. and the Forrestal-class aircraft carrier museum originally in Los Angeles, USA.

The USS Midway is the lead ship of the Midway-class aircraft carriers, named in honor of the Battle of Midway, which has been on duty in the Atlantic and Mediterranean since its commissioning in September 1945, and was designated as an attack carrier during the Korean War. Shortly after the end of the Korean War. The USS Midway was transferred to the U.S. Pacific Fleet and participated in the Vietnam War, after which the USS Midway was mainly on duty in the Western Pacific, the Indian Ocean and the Arabian Sea, and on the eve of its retirement, the USS Midway participated in the Gulf War, airstrikes against Iraqi forces invading Kuwait, and on April 11, 1992, the USS Midway was decommissioned and delisted in 1997.

After being decommissioned, the Midway was kept as a reserve training aircraft carrier, and all electronic equipment and weapons systems were gradually dismantled. It was converted into a museum ship in 2003 and opened to visitors in San Diego, California in June 2004.

The Americans not only repaired the power system of the Midway, but also reinstalled some electronic equipment and weapons systems on the Midway, so that if necessary, the Midway will be re-established on the vast sea together with the other eight conventionally powered aircraft carriers that have been decommissioned.

The Forrest is the lead ship of the four Forrestal-class aircraft carriers, the Forrestal-class aircraft carrier is the first class aircraft carrier built by the United States after the war, and is specially designed to equip new jet aircraft, the Forrestal-class ship uses a steam catapult for the first time, and the flight deck draws on the design experience of the British aircraft carrier, and changes the traditional straight-through flight deck into an oblique angle, and the flight deck with a mixed arrangement makes the entire flight deck form three zones of take-off, standby and landing, which can be used for take-off and landing operations at the same time. Thus forming the basic model of aircraft carriers in the United States today.

After the outbreak of the Vietnam War, in order to make up for the lack of firepower, the Americans decided to temporarily send some aircraft carriers that originally belonged to the Atlantic Fleet to the western Pacific to carry out missions, including the Forrestal, and then the Forrestal suffered a nightmare.

July 29, 1967. On the fourth day of the bombing of Vietnam, the Forrestal suffered severe damage in an accidental fire and explosion that burned for 13 hours, basically damaged the stern section, and the explosion blew seven holes in the flight deck and destroyed 21 aircraft. After 134 crew members died, the Forrestal was rebuilt after seven months of major repairs, and was later converted into a multi-purpose aircraft carrier and decommissioned on September 10, 1993.

On October 22, 2013, the American All-Star Metals Company bought the Forrestal for one cent and prepared to be recycled as scrap, but later the American All-Star Metals Company negotiated with the U.S. military and did not dismantle the Forrestal. Instead, it was converted into an aircraft carrier museum and placed in Los Angeles.

The Forrestal is also one of the major repairs of the decommissioned aircraft carrier, after which the power system of the Forrestal has been restored to normal, and many electronic equipment and weapons systems have also been reinstalled.

According to Song Keer's information to Lin Daxin, the Midway and Forrest have not returned to San Diego and Los Angeles after the maintenance is completed. Instead, they stayed at the Newport News Shipyard in Virginia, on the east coast of the United States, where the two aircraft carriers were repaired. The US military has decided that the museum of the two aircraft carriers, the USS Midway and the USS Forrestal, will not be open to visitors again for a short time, after all, many advanced electronic equipment and weapons systems have been installed on them, and it is very likely that the technology and intelligence of the advanced US equipment will be stolen by hostile countries when they are open to the public.

After Lin Daxin returned to the five-star hotel in downtown New York, he summoned several senior executives of Daxin Holdings to inquire about the progress of the investigation of the American Internet company that was ready to be acquired, but Lin Daxin was not interested in the results of the inspection. This is just to hide people's eyes and tell everyone that I, Lin Daxin, have been staying in the luxury suite of a five-star hotel, and Lin Daxin and the largest shareholder of the American Internet company have had dinner in the restaurant of the five-star hotel. Let your whereabouts be more completely exposed to everyone.

Then Lin Daxin took advantage of the night to pretend to be his bodyguard again, and left the five-star hotel in a big way, and outside the five-star hotel, a member of the Huaxing Club who had already prepared invited Lin Daxin into a car, and then the member of the Huaxing Club drove the car to a small manor in the suburbs of New York, where there was already a helicopter waiting for Lin Daxin.

After Lin Daxin got on the helicopter, the helicopter took off and flew straight for Virginia, which lasted nearly 10 hours before landing on a suburban estate more than 30 kilometers away from the Newport News shipyard, which was already the morning of the next day.

Lin Daxin stayed at the manor until 3 p.m., and then left the manor in an off-road vehicle, with a brand new set of diving equipment and a bundle of steel wires in the trunk of the off-road vehicle.

After Lin Daxin drove an off-road vehicle into the downtown area of Newport News, he parked the car in an abandoned factory near the sea, which was selected by the people of the Huaxing Association.

The members of the Huaxing Association who helped Lin Daxin arrange these things are all core members of the Huaxing Association, and there is absolutely no problem with loyalty, that is, Lin Daxin successfully stole the 2 aircraft carriers in the Newport News Shipyard, and these members of the Huaxing Association will suspect that this matter is related to their president, and they will not disclose any information to the public.

Lin Daxin took advantage of the night to carry the diving equipment out of the abandoned factory and came to the beach, Lin Daxin saw that there was no one around, so he quickly put on the diving equipment, put the bundle of steel wire on his arm, and walked into the seawater, sneaking to the Newport News shipyard that is at least 5 or 6 kilometers away.

After the seven aircraft carriers disappeared from the Philadelphia ship mothballing base, FBI agents have been stationed at the Newport News shipyard to closely control the USS Midway and the USS Forrestal, and also protect the two Ford-class nuclear-powered aircraft carriers under construction.

After the repairs were completed, the USS Midway and the USS Forrest stopped at the dockside of the shipyard, and hundreds of FBI agents entered the two aircraft carriers, and more than 200 US Marine officers and men entered the two aircraft carriers, and there were dozens of FBI agents on the docks, as well as more than 200 US Marine officers and men, and more than 200 Ford-class nuclear-powered aircraft carriers under construction.

The US Navy is very annoyed and shocked by the supernatural incident of the mysterious disappearance of seven conventionally powered aircraft carriers, and although it does not know how the seven aircraft carriers disappeared all at once, the US Navy must have wasted hundreds of millions of dollars in the repair costs of the seven aircraft carriers.

At present, all the warships of the US Navy have entered a state of first-class combat readiness, especially the 12 nuclear-powered aircraft carriers, and they are all making noise about the grass and trees, and they have used all the means of protection that can be used; for the remaining two of the nine aircraft carriers that were repaired this time, the US Navy directly sent a reinforced battalion of marines to protect them.

Lin Daxin knew that the Newport News shipyard had been tightly protected by the Americans, but no matter how tightly protected it was, he didn't want to escape his skill.

Lin Daxin first sneaked to the vicinity of the underwater armor of the Midway, then fixed the steel wire on the top of the underwater armor of the Midway, and then dragged the steel wire to the side of the underwater armor of the Forrestal, and wrapped the steel wire around the steel plate armor, and then Lin Daxin sneaked back while putting the steel wire.

This bundle of steel wire is very thin, but it is very long, Lin Daxin has been swimming back to the position of the sea and going ashore, there are still a lot of steel wires have not been released, Lin Daxin for convenience, first traveled back to the time and space of the Chinese Empire, took off a diving equipment there, and then returned to modern time and space, picked up the remaining steel wire, showed a smug smile in the direction of the Newport News Shipyard, and started the crossing ring.
