Chapter 1262: 1341: Whaling

Is the humpback a submarine?

It's not.

Technically, it is an air cushion super cargo ship.

With two nuclear power units with a combined power of 400,000 kilowatt-hours, it can make up to 130 terrible speeds on the surface.

It's twice as powerful as a Nimitz carrier...

Too bad they don't know.

Tactical Commander Maddix first forwarded the request to the Pentagon, which, after discussing it and confirming its viability, immediately issued the order to the Fifth Fleet.

The fifth fleet is headquartered in Bahrain, where one aircraft carrier, four missile cruisers, approaching 20 missile deportation and frigates, and five attack submarines and eight landing craft maritime forces have been deployed throughout the year.

In addition to maritime forces, it has a squadron of fighters, three squadrons of fighter bombers, and 200 fighter aircraft of various types, including anti-submarine, early warning and electronic warfare.

Upon order from the Pentagon, the Fifth Fleet immediately formed a combat team to begin discussions on what kind of naval forces would be deployed to set up a blockade line on both sides of Madagascar.

Within the command centre of Bahrain's Fifth Fleet headquarters.

Receiving this blockade mission is Joint Fleet Commander Rashit, who has been in charge of operational command of the Fifth Fleet for many years and has extensive experience in joint command of multiple battleships.

“I reiterate that this mission is to block interceptions, not sink them.” We set up a blockade line on both sides of Madagascar, and when the target submarine arrives, we're going to go around like a bunch of sharks and push the target submarine out of the water, "Rasit stressed. ”

“The target submarine from the Pentagon, as you've all seen, I think you all understand, must have a very peculiarly styled submarine with technology that has never been seen before in the field of ships today. ”

“So we can't sink it until we have to. ”

Someone said, "Sir, there's no propeller prints on this submarine, but from outside it, there's no hydrodynamics. It must be louder when sailing underwater than a '90s submarine like Warsaw. ”

“We can ask the anti-submarine squadron to provide two P-8 anti-submarines to operate together. ”

“Anti-submarine is fine.” Rashid pointed to the large screen behind him and the assistant next to him quickly added a small icon to the screen for two P-8 anti-submarines.

The P-8 anti-submarine is capable of carrying more than 100 sonar buoys while also carrying four to six anti-submarine torpedoes or anti-ship missiles.

Theoretically, then, the two blockade lines are equipped with an anti-submarine, and then with a professional anti-submarine, don't say a civilian class submarine, even if the strategic nuclear submarine comes, don't try to escape the sky.

But here's the problem.

Rashid was ordered to capture the submarine and to preserve its integrity to the maximum extent possible in order to facilitate the study of the submarine by scientific experts.

“How can we push it underwater? ”

Rashid knocked on the table and spoke a little lightly, "It's a civilian class submarine built by Giant Beast Industries, possibly using some of the advanced technology they have. ”

“It is impossible, however, to master modern, absolutely confidential military-grade submarine combat and early warning techniques. ”

“In other words, it is likely that in Madagascar our anti-submarine has found traces of it and is flying around on its head. ”

“Surface ships have surrounded it with the most standard tactical formation. ”

“And this civilian submarine is completely unknown. ”

Sitting beside each other, officers in combat meetings laughed and the atmosphere was particularly relaxed.

They represent the most powerful maritime power on the planet.

This time the opponent, again, is a civilian class submarine with no tactical attack capability.

Submarine ~ It is probably the weakest, most impenetrable and most impenetrable of naval warships.

It is an underwater ghost that strikes a deadly blow to the ship in an invisible place. But once it's exposed to enemy sight, even if it's a 10,000-ton strategic nuclear submarine, it can easily be sent up to heaven by a 000-ton anti-submarine.

What's more, a civilian submarine with no attack capability?

For example, in 1940, there was a submarine called the Wolf of the Seabed when it attacked a carrier. The submarine will blow the ship in half with a single shot of fish and sink in the eye.

The Wolf of the Seabed floats joyfully, ready to see the noise.

At that time, the carrier exploded and a tank carrying it was also blown to the sky.

The tank fell and impartially struck the Wolf of the Seabed.

Result ~

The Wolf of the Seabed “Suddenly”.

Four or four years later, another submarine was even worse, just because someone used the bathroom, just because it ran over the toilet, causing the submarine to eventually sink.

So these officers in the conference room, they don't have to worry about how to find it.

Instead, how can you not hurt it?

Moreover, in their analysis, the civilian class submarine could not be equipped with advanced military-grade reconnaissance equipment. It should be similar to the blind under water and can only be passively sailed on a fixed route.

You can't just drop a deep water bomb to remind them, can you?

“Deep water bombs are too powerful to meet our operational requirements.” An officer suggested, "Can we use sonar jamming bombs to remind them? ”

“Weren't our submarines equipped with sonar jamming bombs to interfere with the operation of surface reconnaissance equipment using the underwater multi-directional, small-scale blasting principle? ”

“This jamming ammunition is small and explosions underwater produce particularly loud echoes. We can drop a batch around the submarine, and even if they don't have a sonic listening device, they can hear it in their ears. ”

This approach is feasible.

“If the target submarine still does not choose to float, we can detonate a rocket-type deep water bomb in the distance. ”

“While there is the possibility of destroying the target submarine, it is possible to operate the equipment. ”

“But I don't think it will do much damage to the submarine casing, leaving them without the ability to float urgently. ”

“Reduce the volume of deep water bombs by half.” An officer makes a worrying appearance, "for a civilian submarine, I cannot guarantee that the shock waves generated by our hundreds of kilograms of standard charge explode will not paralyse all their electronic equipment. Amazing vibrating sound that will definitely paralyze all sailors in the submarine. ”

The crowd smiled again, saying that when they float up, be gentle when letting the Navy Commandos in to clear the barrier, don't scare the crowd.

After all, we have to torture this submarine from their mouths!

……

Less than a few hours later, this battle plan called "Operation Whaling" was quickly finalized.

Whales are huge, but unusually mild animals that fit these shark-like navies, positioning the target submarine.

A Comprehensive Supply Ship.

Two P-8 anti-submarine patrol aircraft.

Two Burke-class missile destroyers.

Four Perry class frigates.

This is a gift from United Fleet Commander Rashi for the submarine of Giant Beast Industries.

Two destroyers, four frigates.

The military power represented by these six ships can already sweep the naval forces of 90 percent of the world's nations.

It's only dozens of frigates to know that Spain ranks tenth in naval power. And the frigates' weapons systems, they were sold to them by the United States.

Strong strength is their relaxation and determination to win.

Less than two hours after being ordered to operate, in a sequence of operational readiness and travelling offshore, all types of warships change rapidly and move towards Madagascar.

At that time, the humpback whale, far from the port of the Anut district, was also unloading an entire ship of industrial equipment.

These are the second arrival of large-scale diamond smelting equipment, which will be unloaded and will carry all mineral raw materials extracted from the factory, as well as metal raw materials acquired from other mining areas and returned to Zhongyun City.

The next day.

This [whaling operation] all warships complete formation on the high seas near Tongue Ser.

Once assembled, the fleet enters a wartime state.

All warships perform radio silence and actively evade all civilian vessels on the route.

Relaxation does not mean arrogance.

Now that Giant Beast Industries has already shown a technical job in radio positioning, don't want to succeed again for a second time.

Even in their analysis, the submarine was not equipped with military detection devices.

At 9 p.m. local time, the fleet arrived in the sea off Madagascar.

Under the lighting signals of the command vessel, the fleet quickly divided into two units, each headed towards the waters on both sides of Madagascar, as planned.

According to photographs from the morning reconnaissance satellite, the target submarine was still moored at the port for cargo loading.

So this operation, they have no chance of failing.
