On the afternoon of December 10, the Special Mixed Fleet 41 finally arrived at Daban Port.
The two carriers didn't enter the port; instead, they launched shuttles outside the harbor to transport Bai Zhizhan and others to the port, then turned back to the open sea.
According to the plan, Special Mixed Fleet 41 would return to Nagiu Port and then head with the "Heng Jiang" to the Xu Sea.
Over the next few months, Special Mixed Fleet 41's top priority was to train shipborne aircraft pilots for the Imperial Navy together with "Heng Jiang."
After the Spring Festival, four large carriers would join the combat lineup.
Although the officers and soldiers paired with the carriers had already completed their training ahead of schedule by participating in the construction, and personnel rotation wasn't a concern during wartime, the newly established Shipborne Air Force Wing aboard the carriers had just been formed and added hundreds of pilots, so the training workload was very heavy.
