World of Warships: Lexington VIII Aircraft Carrier: Operation: Cherry Blossom
3World of Warships: Lexington VIII Aircraft Carrier: Operation: Cherry Blossom
Description: VIP escort & base raid combined. Under the cover of night, an elite Japanese cruiser fleet has surprised the Marines landing on the beaches of Empress Augusta Bay. We have to cover the retreat of the transport convoy & defend the marines onshore before dawn breaks and they are annihilated! Luckily we should have reinforcements from Halsey's carriers soon. IF we can save the Marines, then we can push north and take out their airfields before the Nihon Kaigun can gather its forces.
Goals: Defend the Marine regiments that have just disembarked. Locate and destroy enemy aerodromes.
Ship: Lexington — American Tier VIII aircraft сarrier.
Following the Washington Naval Conference, a decision was made to convert two Lexington-class battlecruisers into aircraft carriers. These ships exerted a substantial influence on future aircraft carrier design; the flight deck and outer sides of the hangar were integrated into the hull, providing longitudinal strength to the entire ship. Such a design allowed for a fully enclosed hangar space. At the time when the Japanese forces attacked Pearl Harbor, USS Lexington was in the process of transferring planes to Midway. During the Battle of the Coral Sea, USS Lexington sustained several bomb hits. Eventually, the decision was taken to scuttle the ship, and destroyer USS Phelps was tasked with sinking Lexington using torpedoes.
