Even the four aircraft carriers heading south were not at full capacity, as they each carried only about 40 carrier-based aircraft, totaling about 170. Excluding early warning aircraft and helicopters, the actual combat force was only about 120.
Accompanying the aircraft carriers heading south were 16 destroyers, 4 cruisers, and 8 supply ships. These vessels had all undergone maintenance and resupply, with high morale and ample ammunition and fuel.
However, the Tang Army had an absolute technological advantage, and their aircraft carriers' combat power was completely unmatched by the opposition.
With satellite intelligence support, the Tang Army fleet could be said to be directly advancing towards the Allied Forces fleet, while the Allied Fleet was unaware they were already under surveillance.
This naval battle, which almost decided the sea power of the Endless Sea, erupted abruptly, with one side's commanders not even remotely prepared.
