Hearing Zhou Wenwen's frank words, although the expression on Colonel Hamm's face was a bit ugly, he had to admit that things were just as Zhou Wenwen said, but not only the Anacosti District-Pollin Joint Base was prepared.

Along the riverside of the Anacosti District-Pollin Joint Base, the Norfolk Naval Base in Virginia has entered a state of war and is ready for battle.

As for the mission status of the Norfolk Naval Base, Major Hamm doesn't know if he is not involved in this naval base. He only knows that the base's aircraft carrier has been dispatched and the planes on the deck have also taken off.

The Norfolk Dock Line has a total length of 11 kilometers, a total of 14 docks and 11 aircraft hangars, which can accommodate 75 ships and 134 aircraft of various types. Among them, piers 11 and 12 are the places where large ships such as nuclear-powered aircraft carriers are mainly docked, while piers 20 and 25 are used to berth destroyers and nuclear submarines.

At this time, in addition to cruisers and destroyers, the remaining aircraft carriers at Norfolk Naval Base were the USS Enterprise, USS Harry S. Truman, and USS Theodore Roosevelt.

USS Enterprise, English: USSEnterprise, hull number: CVN-65, Chinese: often translated as "Enterprise" or "Courageous", English nickname: BigE.

The cabin system, hangars, ammunition depots and other important parts are equipped with 63.5 mm thick Kevlar armor to enhance protection, the displacement is increased by 5,000 tons, and the draft is increased to 11.8 meters.

The aircraft carriers USS Truman and USS Roosevelt are here because they were overhauled and replaced and replenished with nuclear fuel at the Newport News Shipyard in New York, USA from 2010 to 2012.

The comprehensive refueling overhaul project of the two aircraft carriers is expected to cost 3 billion US dollars. Although expensive, this is the most important comprehensive overhaul during the 50-year service period of the two aircraft carriers.

During the refueling and comprehensive overhaul of the aircraft carrier, by replacing the fuel of the aircraft carrier's nuclear reactor and maintaining, updating and upgrading various aircraft carrier equipment and systems, it can ensure that the aircraft carrier maintains a good operational state during the subsequent service period.
