Jokes usually only appear at their crew celebration after the mission.

There is no room for the word joke in the course of the mission.

Lassiter immediately asked the sonar to turn on the SQR-20 main passive drag sonar system at the stern of the destroyer, which allows for extensive long-range initial detection by changing the underwater drag trajectory.

After a trajectory adjustment, the main passive drag sound system is U-shaped and aligned with the direction of the abnormal sound source.

There is no joke.

The main passive voice also listened to the abnormal sound pattern, and this time the sound pattern was clearer than the blurred fragment heard by the main voice Na pedestal monitor half an hour ago.

Rashid's eyes grew more serious, "Is that the source of the anomaly, closer to us? ”

The sonar is not sure, "Sir, the sound source is too far away for us to track the exact orientation and velocity of each other through the sound source. ”

“If the sound source of the other party is not too special and distinct from the ship's mechanical sound source, it is simply impossible for us to monitor it at this distance. ”

“But…”

“I personally believe that this should not be a ship, but perhaps a sample of a new sound source that we have not yet collected. ”

Not all repetitive and orderly mechanical sound sources in the ocean are ships, or normal ships.

At least the vocalist encountered some special circumstances.

For example, a few years ago, when the Red Sea pirates were rampant, warships were sent here to carry out escort duties. They quietly cast sonar buoys in that area to gather information on the propeller soundprints of those warships.

They then listen to a very special, mechanical sound source that has never been touched before.

That sound is like someone playing drums in the ocean, pounding, pounding ~

They were shocked and thought it was a new type of battleship for a particular country.

And the result?

They rushed over and wanted to get close to gathering information.

It was discovered that it was an old bulk cargo ship with a blasted cylinder and oil dyeing the surrounding waters. As soon as the crew saw a warship approaching them, they were as excited as the stray tourists were to see the rescue team and kept calling them for help signals.

One more laugh.

They also detect abnormal non-ship powered mechanical sound sources while performing a maritime task.

When they arrived to prepare for interception, they discovered that there was a huge mining vessel across the street, which was stealing minerals from the shallow sea.

“Whatever it is, make it clear that it cannot be a source of influence that interferes with our operations. ”

“This mission cannot fail, nor can we fail.” Rashid turned around and directed towards the rest of the battle room: "The radio paused silently for a minute, ordering vessel three to go to the sound source area to find out more about the sound source. ”

“Yes!”

……

Ship 3 is an escort, calculated at a speed of 30 nautical miles per hour, at a blurred distance between 500 and 700 nautical miles from an abnormal sound source.

This frigate is approaching a tens of hours' voyage to get close to 300 nautical miles of abnormal sound sources for effective detection.

In fact, there's no need for frigates.

Within two hours of receiving a probe order, the Burke-class missile destroyer, whether large sonar pedestals or the main passive drag sonar system at the tail, clearly captured the abnormal mechanical sound source and gradually approached them with the soundprint characteristics here.

Vague forecasts between the initial 500 and 700 nautical miles.

400 nautical miles, 300 nautical miles.

And close to the anti-submersible blockade line, all the passive sounds in the entire blockade line are madly alarming.

Where is this mechanical noise, it's obvious that someone is driving a super-bombing street around them. Vocalists in various listening positions, can no longer hear any other sound in their ears, except the growling sound of the nearer and nearer engine, and the roaring sound of propellers breaking open the waves rapidly underwater.

At this time, the frigate ran less than a hundred nautical miles away and did not escape from the anti-submersible blockade line.

Command a chickens fly, dogs leap on the ship.

It's only been more than two hours since we discovered the source of the abnormal sound.

Even if it was a boat, but ships sailing at sea, it wasn't all as slow as turtles, when did it turn into an F1 rally?

Never before, Rashitley naturally doubted the target to the giant animal industry. Aren't they setting up an anti-submarine lockdown here to intercept the strange submarine of the Beast Industries?

Judging by the frequency of the voiceprint, it was a giant wheel over 10,000 tons.

This is exactly like the strange submarine in the satellite photograph.

If the nearer terror velocity is detected by sonar, the submarines of the giant animal industry are absolutely capable of leaving the port in the morning from the port of Nicaragua until they rush near the sea.

So Rashid couldn't keep a secret any longer, and he immediately deactivated the radio silence and ordered the entire ship into battle.

Three vessels of the first blockade line were requested to provide full support towards the second blockade line.

With the Burke-class missile destroyer at its core, the two frigates immediately released anti-submarine helicopters to search the area.

hypothesis ~

Build that really is a submarine, with its rough shape, if it's underwater.

And even without sonar positioning, helicopter pilots can catch a boiling white wave at sea with their own eyes.

Of course, by now, no one is willing to believe it was a submarine.

After a period of flight, the pilots of the two anti-submarine helicopters, as well as the weapons operators, saw an unforgettable scene for life.

They saw a cross section of a ship as huge as an aircraft carrier, racing on the azure sea.

The surface skipped by the black wheel was supposed to be calm and tranquil, but as it passed, it seemed to have caused a Class 12 storm.

The black ship is similarly close to the carrier size, and it does not seem to have a normal boat feeding line, as if it is flying close to the surface of the sea...

Even in the thousands of metres of altitude, two anti-submarine helicopters can hear a roar through a starboard window as if it were a giant beast roaring low.

They forgot all the tactile reactions that should have been engraved in their bodies, so they opened their eyes and looked at the black “giant beast” on the far side of the ocean.

In their gaze at the Beast, the Beast may have similarly discovered two “birds” hovering in the distant air.

The black giant wheel, originally running in a straight line on the surface of the sea, actually drew an arc trajectory on the surface of the sea in an impossible manner.

“It... it changed course.” Two anti-submarine helicopter pilots, frightened to communicate over radio.

Then, as they woke up in their dreams, they quickly turned on the long-distance radio and yelled at the mother ship's liaison: “Pier, this is the gull. ”

“You... see? ”

Both anti-submarine helicopters were hung in the camera pod.

After all, it is certainly necessary for them to return the flight images to the mother ship in order to carry out their tracking and exploration missions.

They were stationed in the command room, including Commander Rashid, and of course saw the scene from the screen.

The correspondent in the command room grabbed the caller with his hand and tried to respond to the calls of the two anti-submarine helicopters, but the words came to his mouth and turned into chaos.

Commander Rashid was paralyzed on the chair, sweating directly.

The black ship is exactly the same as the "submarine" image of the port taken by the reconnaissance satellite.
