Chapter 730 (1/2)
El Salvador de Mondo is a class I windsurfing battleship with three decks and a displacement of 2108 tons.
The ship was built in 1786, the year before last, from the dock of Royal astrillo shipyard in Havana Bay.
In this era, the salvadore de Mondo windsail battleship with 112 guns, including 32 42 pound guns (French pounds), 32 24 pound guns, 32 12 pound guns and 16 6 pound guns, is undoubtedly an extremely powerful windsail battleship.
El Salvador de Mondo has a length of 64.3 meters, a width of 17.6 meters, a draft of 8.2 meters and a crew of 900.
Without the steel warship of the Great China Empire, this class I battleship with 112 guns is definitely a deterrent force in the whole Caribbean region. As the flagship of the famous Spanish upwind fleet, El Salvador de Mondo deserves such praise.
Because of the defeat in the offensive and defensive battle of the fort of gibraltarian, the Spanish authorities had some different ideas. Plus the false prosperity that Carlos III brought to Spain during his reign, even if it was false prosperity, it was prosperous at least, wasn't it? Let the Spanish leadership decide to build more warships.
During the ten years from 1779 to 1789, the Spanish Navy madly built up to eight class I windsurfing battleships. This kind of construction speed is undoubtedly extremely crazy.
By the time El Salvador de Mondo was built, the brutal offensive and defensive battle of gibraltarian fortress was over, so instead of crossing the Atlantic to take part in the offensive and defensive battle of gibraltarian fortress, the ship stayed in Havana and became the flagship of the upwind fleet.
When the fleet of the great Chinese Empire arrived about four kilometers outside the Gulf of Havana, the Spanish watchman also found the menacing fleet.
By this time, the Spaniards already knew that the Great China Empire had started war against Spain. However, although there was no declaration of war between the two countries, everyone knew that the two countries were in a state of war now.
The army of the great Chinese Empire killed all sides in Mexico, and now their fleet has come to Havana, but no one thinks that this fleet is playing. Now that they are here, let's fight!
However, during the battle of Boston, many Spanish Navy officers saw the strength of this steel warship, so the news about the steel warship of the Great China Empire spread among the Spanish Navy early. So when the Spanish Navy stationed in Havana learned that the steel warships had arrived in Havana, they immediately responded.
Hundreds of warships of different sizes moored in Havana Bay quickly set sail, ready to go out to fight with the steel fleet.
Although the Spanish Navy knows that this kind of steel warship is very powerful, there are only seven steel warships in the fleet to Havana this time. They have more than 120 sailing warships stationed in Havana Bay.
In the understanding of the Spanish Navy, with the overwhelming number of its own warships, the siege alone was enough to defeat the fleet of the great Chinese Empire.
The officers and men of the Spanish Navy are ugly, but they think they are beautiful
The huge Salvador de Mondo class I windsurfing battleship is the first time to take part in the sea battle since it was launched. But it is precisely because the upwind fleet has such a powerful battleship that the officers and soldiers of the upwind fleet feel very at ease.
When the fleet raised all the sails and prepared to go out to the open sea along the Central River to fight against the fleet of the great Chinese Empire, they suddenly found that their fleet could not get out.
