Antwerp Airport Command, Shire and Tijani were in a heated discussion about the tactics for new destroyers.
The focus was on the future development of destroyers.
Shire believed that future destroyers should further reduce weight, decreasing the main guns to one at the front and one at the back, using the freed weight and space to increase anti-aircraft firepower.
Tijani strongly opposed this:
"We are discussing the future, Vice Admiral."
"Perhaps your torpedo bombers can threaten every warship. I've also heard about the idea of bombers carrying bombs."
"I admit they are feasible. But have you considered that the range of aircraft is ultimately limited? You can't control every sea area with planes."
Speaking, Tijani's finger landed heavily in the deep part of the Atlantic Ocean: "Moreover, even if your planes can make it, how long will it take at airplane speed? An hour? Two hours?"
Shire countered: "Why can't we let the fleet carry planes?"
