Volume 31 - CH 2(3/3)
The ?artillery ship? referred to by the captain was a warship with Fleming launchers as the main weapon, which appeared during the last Great War (World War III). The Fleming launcher is a type of large-size railgun weapon mounted on-board ships, prioritizing the ability of continuous fire over projectiles speed . Such launchers ?allow continuous fire with large bombs at a firing speed like rapid-fire guns. This weapon was mainly used for heavy fire at stationary ground targets.
As the captain said, if the objective is destroying an object ?or eliminating someone ?rather than ?capturing a base, then missile ships and artillery ships are more suitable than amphibious assault ships, intended for landing operations.. But only if the enemy was ordinary.
“There’s a high probability that the bombardment won’t kill him . We need to be guaranteed of his elimination.”
“Such a difficult opponent..?” ? Muttered captain Marquis with an anxious expression on her face.
“ We ?have prepared landing personnel. Captain, I’d like you to complete preparations for the ship’s departure sometime soon.”
“Of course. I’ll start with the preparations immediately. Tomorrow at noon we’ll be ready for departure.”
There were no further questions or objections from Marquis.
