This could be considered a major issue with the "Newland" class.
Due to lack of necessary funding, even until the outbreak of the war, the communication and command systems of all three "Newland" class ships had not been upgraded or modified.
The result was that the "Newland" class had persistent problems with coordinated operations with the escort battleships.
For example, after entering the anti-air combat phase, the "Newland" class could not use the assistance of the escort battleships and could only use its own radar to search for enemy aircraft.
This meant it was very likely to reveal its position during the battle!
Do not forget, the Attack Aircraft Group of the Liangxia Fleet was supported by Electronic Attack Aircraft, which allowed them to know whether there was a carrier behind the Anti-Air Warship.
This round of attack could be described as extremely straightforward and decisive.
