What If a Modern Aircraft Carrier Fought the Mongol Invasion Fleet?

What If a Modern Aircraft Carrier Fought the Mongol Invasion Fleet? Late autumn, twelve eighty-one. The Tsushima Strait sits between Korea and Japan like a held breath, cold and gray and crowded with more ships than most people in the medieval world would ever see in a lifetime. The smell of pine tar and salt hangs over everything. The sound of drums carries across open water before sunrise, steady and deep, the Mongol fleet signaling position to itself across miles of dark chop. Two separate invasion forces have converged here — one sailing down from Korea, one pushing north from southern China — carrying somewhere between one hundred thousand and one hundred forty thousand soldiers, on roughly four thousand four hundred ships, to finish what Kublai Khan started seven years earlier. The largest seaborne invasion force the medieval world has ever assembled. And it is moving toward Japan.
