Naval Battle of the Azores . The naval battle that never was... The Kriegsmarine fights the Royal Navy in the atlantic ocean . Last year, I built the Gualdim Pais Battlecruiser. This year, I build two different fleets...
Most of the ships that you see in this battle never existed or where never finished in time to take part in the war.
In this ALTERNATE WORLD, the Kriegsmarine (German Navy) leaves the Reich.
The Germans have 14 battleships, 6 battlecruisers, 5 carriers, 30 light and heavy cruisers and 20 ocean destroyers.
In this display, I have 2 battleships, 1 battlecruiser, one heavy cruiser, one light cruiser, one carrier, one destroyer and 5 torpedo boots.
The british have 17 battleships, 3 battlecruisers, 4 carriers, 34 light and heavy cruisers and 32 ocean destroyers.
In this display, I have 2 battleships, 1 battlecruiser, 1 carrier and 1 light cruiser.
The story of the largest naval battle in the Atlantic ocean will soon come, with photoshop pictures.
