Chapter 587 (1/2)

Norfolk, the capital of the East, is located on the East Bank of the mouth of the Elizabethan River, which almost overlaps with the position of Norfolk military harbor in later generations.

However, compared with the Norfolk military port of the later American navy, the port built by the Yanhuang tribe in Norfolk was more inward.

The later Norfolk military port was very large, and the deep-water Wharf at the outermost side of the mouth of the Elizabethan river was specially used to dock aircraft carriers. For example, the famous docks 14 and 12.

A little closer to the inner dock, that is, from dock 10 to dock 4, most of them are Burke class destroyers.

Those docks in the middle are the special docks for submarines.

Generally speaking, the Norfolk military port of later generations is located at the mouth of the Elizabethan river. Once the warships leave the port, they can turn northward to enter the mouth of the James River, then enter the Chesapeake Bay through the simble Shure Strait, and then enter the Atlantic Ocean through the Chesapeake Bay.

Generally speaking, because Norfolk military port is located in the inner part of the Bay, and the channel at the mouth of the Elizabeth River is very deep, it has become the largest naval base of the American navy.

As such an excellent natural deep-water harbor, the stone bear will not let it go, so it began to build the east capital Norfolk here.

However, because the thirteen colonies have not been recovered, the entire Chesapeake Bay can not be recovered now, so the port of Norfolk can not be too close to the mouth of James River. It can only be built on the Bank of the river which is a distance away from the mouth of Elizabeth River, that is, the river between Norfolk and Portsmouth.

There is a straight distance of more than ten kilometers from the James River. Such a long distance, together with the shore based fort built along both sides of the river, is enough to defend against all attacks of foreign enemies.

Although it is far away from the estuary, the depth of the river is still enough. The Wisconsin battleship, the fourth of the Iowa Class Battleships built by the US Navy during World War II, was docked here.

It's a super battleship with a full displacement of more than 50000 tons!

Therefore, as the Atlantic port of Yanhuang tribe, it is more than enough.

Norfolk shipyard is located on the West Bank about two kilometers south of the Elizabeth River from Norfolk port.

The dusty stone bear, accompanied by a group of senior officers of the fourth division such as Dahe, first came to Norfolk.

After all, this is the east capital designated by stone bear, and the supplies are very abundant over the years, so Norfolk is still very good.

Maybe it's not as good as Shangjing, but there's no big gap.

And the defense here is in place. Along the way, the stone bear saw no less than 30 places just by erecting a 105 mm caliber fort. Around Norfolk, besides the most advanced 105 cannons of Yanhuang tribe, there are many other 76 cannons and 76 mortars.

It can be said that in these years almost regardless of the cost of supply, now Norfolk has become an iron hedgehog!

If anyone doesn't have a long eye and dare to come and find fault, these 105 heavy guns with a range of more than 10 kilometers are enough to let them understand why the pot is made of iron!
