However, these are tales for another time.
Because Stark did not adjust the combat plan, on the early morning of the 6th, the officers and men of the 51st Special Mixed Fleet began preparing for the sortie.
Mainly the aviation personnel of the three "Nizi"-class carriers.
As such, when Stark gave the order, the flight deck of "Nizi" was already filled with ship-borne aircraft, a total of 45.
Besides the 40 tasked with the first round of strikes, there were also 4 air defense fighters and 1 early warning aircraft.
In fact, one must first let the air defense fighters and early warning aircraft take off to free up the forward launch area of the flight deck, so that all four catapults can operate. Only with all four catapults can 40 ship-borne aircraft tasked with the attack mission all be airborne within 25 minutes.
As for those extra F-14Bs, they flew away last night.
