As for what Bai Zhizhan was worried about, there was no need to guess, as anyone could figure it out.
Was that really an escort aircraft carrier?
Since most were converted from cargo ships, and newly built ones also used the hulls of cargo ships, the shortcomings of escort aircraft carriers were actually very pronounced, primarily their slow speed.
Of course, to cover an average transport fleet speed of around 10 knots, excessive speed wasn't necessary.
The speed of the escort carriers usually remained below 20 knots, with some even less than 16 knots.
As for the fast escort carriers, due to their small numbers, the Newland Navy treated them like precious assets, and almost all were stationed in the Southwest East Ocean.
In pursuit of speed, the fast escort carriers had poor endurance and were unsuitable for expeditionary warfare.
