Red Alert Somalia

Chapter 320 Sea Wolf

In the Persian Gulf 40 nautical miles from Bahrain, a "sea wolf" lurks in the night. This drop-shaped submarine with damping rubber sound-absorbing tiles is like a huge black capsule floating on the sea. A webbed balance hydrofoil is close to the water and stretches out to the sides. The olive-shaped body of the boat does not shake at all in the undulating waves. This makes the two people standing under the tower on the back of the boat seem to be standing on a coral reef. Same as above, without any discomfort.

Colonel Jackson pressed the brim of his hat hard against the sea breeze, so that the soft-bowed white navy hat was tightly hung on his brow bone, so that he could free his hands and raise the telescope to observe the sea in the distance.As the captain of the latest Seawolf-class attack nuclear submarine, he is a little gloomy. This extremely terrifying super weapon has been built for nine years. It has been crafted like a handicraft displayed in the ocean. .However, when it was completed and put into service, it was suddenly discovered that there was no opponent in the huge ocean.The vast ocean, the dignified long wing is useless!Captain Jackson could not help feeling lonely and seeking defeat.Today, the disintegration of the Soviet Union and the end of the Cold War, this submarine weapon has turned into a "seal" bodyguard!In the business of sneaking across the border, how can this not make Captain Jackson feel depressed?.

This underwater monster with a total length of 135 meters and a displacement of 12,000 tons can cruise at up to 25 knots underwater and has a maximum diving depth of more than 600 meters.The boat is equipped with fifty "Tomahawk" cruise missiles, which can be used to strike at inland targets in depth. Its whaling fork anti-ship missiles and mk48-5 heavy torpedoes can attack any threat from the sea.In addition, it also carried a hundred mines of various types to block waterways.Now, this attack-type nuclear submarine is fully prepared for the SEALs’ secret operations.

usually.Whether it is day or night, the sea wolf always lurks in the deepest part of the ocean, taking on the task of combat readiness. It either rests or cruises, quietly coveting its prey, but rarely reveals its true face.Today, if it weren't for an extremely important action, even if the night was dignified, it would never risk going up.because.No one knows for sure, among the dots of stars in the vast night sky, will there happen to be a reconnaissance satellite passing by looking at it with wide eyes?

It was not the first time Captain Jackson had performed such a combat mission, and certainly not the first time he had dealt with the SEALs.Although he has a compassionate feeling that "there is no war alone in the ocean, it is inevitable that the hero's heart is desolate", but he does not regret it.On the contrary, he felt that the use of super weapons worth billions of dollars to protect those special warfare soldiers bravely breaking into dangerous situations was the value of Sea Wolf.It's a pity.This kind of action achieved only the reputation of the SEALs, and the Seawolves themselves became the green leaves for them.Even so, Captain Jefferson always respected the courage the seals showed.Therefore, whenever he faced individual sailors with low morale, he would use the seal as an analogy:

"Joining the navy is the most correct decision in your life. Choosing a submarine is a proof that you are smarter than ordinary people. Think about it, is there anything more fun than squatting in the dark and listening to the whispers of others? Our job is to make the whole world transparent before our eyes. If someone regards such a day as a dark day, then you can go and see the SEAL! Their life is simply hell. I thought , If you don’t be an aloof sea wolf, then go to be a mysterious seal. Choose for yourself!"

Facing the dark sea and closing the binoculars, Captain Jackson glanced at the diving watch on his wrist.Xin said that it was time for the seals to show up.He raised the telescope again, but still only saw the vast sea of ​​night.There were waves in the ears.No trace of the seal was seen.Captain Jackson was a little anxious. He was not worried about the brave SEALs but his sea wolf.This attacking nuclear submarine named after the former President Carter should not be exposed to the night sky for a long time, which will have a very negative impact on its future survival.A sea wolf who is used to peeping at other people's privacy certainly cares about his whereabouts, but he finds it funny again when he thinks about it.Secretly thought, yeah!Where the haunting seals can be spotted by the naked eye, I'd better go back to the cabin and try the sea wolf's tailwind ears!That's my secret weapon!

Captain Jefferson motioned to the officer following him to stay on the boat and continue to observe, while he climbed up the tower and got in through the water avoidance hatch.

At this moment, the bqs24 active high-frequency ranging sonar and bqgsd passive reconnaissance sonar and other electronic equipment on the boat have all been activated, searching the surrounding seas with all their strength.They are what Captain Jackson calls "downwind ears."

Sergeant Kenneth was sitting in front of an independent monitor with headphones on, and was engrossed in operating the expensive signal searcher in front of him.Compared to the crews crowded in the cabin, he appears to be more maverick. This is because in a team of 130 crew members, apart from 15 officers, he can be regarded as this ship. The most important person on the boat.The effectiveness of his work directly affects the combat effectiveness of this multi-purpose attack nuclear submarine and its own safety.

Today they will carry a 15-member SEAL team to perform special missions in the waters of Somalia.Therefore, the mysterious sea wolf that has always been lonely comes out of the water near the sea.At this moment, as the sensitive organ of the sea wolf, Sergeant Kenneth is carefully operating the advanced electronic equipment in front of him. According to the advance plan, the SEALs will board the boat at 22:30, and the time is already up. Getting closer, he must find out and get in touch with it as soon as possible.

However, what puzzled the sergeant was that his monitoring equipment had been disturbed by a strong electronic signal, which had been there for three minutes.At first, he still used to think that this came from a fishing boat moored somewhere in the nearby sea, but the characteristics and strength of the signal were by no means achievable by civilian equipment. It must have come from an advanced military ship.For a time he was very nervous to speculate that this signal might be an attack submarine lurking nearby. The Persian Gulf is densely covered with various anti-submarine devices, and it is difficult for submarines of other countries to avoid these detection equipment.Sneak in.

Kenneth speculated that this signal should come from a ship inside the military port.then.He muttered in his heart, nasty guy!At this time, he came out to make trouble.

At this moment, two fast-moving bright spots appeared on the screen. Sergeant Kenneth judged that the assault boat of the SEALs was approaching, so he had to put the unknown signal aside.

"Captain! They are here."

Kenneth reported loudly to Ermai, but thought in his heart, it was so punctual!It seems that the seals have to do it every second to board the boat!The sergeant thought about increasing the anti-interference strength of the equipment at the same time, trying to filter out that annoying signal.Helplessly, the effect is not good.Obviously, the strength of that signal is so close that it is beyond imagination.

Captain Jackson, who had just returned to the boat, walked through the narrow cabin towards the monitoring station, and gave orders to the deputy captain as he walked.A small group of sailors rose up and followed the deputy captain to climb out of the cabin.

This commando team of 15 seals departed from Futenma Air Force Base and arrived in Bahrain by a stallion helicopter. After landing, they changed to two assault boats and left the port at night.Quietly approached the "Jimmy Carter" in the sea.

According to the plan, they will take this seawolf-class attack nuclear submarine with excellent stealth performance directly to the coast of Berbera, Somalia, and then make a secret landing from there. After that, they will have to rely on their own ability to survive.The mission of the SEALs on this trip is very simple. It is to find the pilot who escaped from the crashed F-22 Raptor stealth fighter in the coastal area of ​​Somalia and bring him back safely.

Well known.How many top technologies exist in the wreckage of an F-22 stealth fighter, and how many secrets are attached to a Raptor pilot.To this end, the Joint Council, the Ministry of National Defense, and the entire Middle East theater will use all available means to provide full support for this.

This is why, after getting the two-level Raptor accident.The United States thought that it was not the first time to retaliate, but to immediately retrieve the two warplanes that went wrong.

Captain Jackson was already standing in front of the monitoring station.Paying close attention to the bright spots on the screen, he knew that this was an important action that affected the entire military high-level, so of course he had to stand on the front line and personally direct it, and no mistakes should happen.He glanced at Sergeant Kenneth and asked briefly:

"How far is the seal from my boat?"

"One thousand meters, captain."

Sergeant Kenneth reported loudly, and Captain Jackson cautiously asked:

"What's the surrounding situation?"

"Everything is normal! Captain, except..."

As soon as he spoke, the sergeant suddenly hesitated. He regretted that he was distracting his boss by an insignificant interference signal when he was so sensitive.

"What? What did you say?"

Captain Jackson's tone suddenly became severe, so that at such a critical moment there must be no room for error.What's more, a high-ranking non-commissioned officer in charge of important equipment in the boat was hesitant to talk, which made him extremely annoyed.

"An unknown signal, very strong, probably from Bahrain, captain."

Sergeant Kenneth saw that the captain's face changed suddenly and hurriedly answered, but his words made the captain's expression even more tense.Jackson thought that Shunfeng Ear, which he is proud of, can always detect sensitive signals before other devices. If this unknown signal really represents a potential threat, then it must be strangled in the cradle.

"Check it out, right away, right away."

Captain Jackson hurriedly ordered, he thought, if this signal really came from the military port, then there is no need to worry too much, at least it will not pose a threat to the seal operation currently underway.If it is not, then the trouble will be big. The seal is about to board the boat. Then the threat represented by this signal is not only directed at the seal, but may also be carried along with the sea wolf.Thinking of this, Captain Jackson stood behind the sergeant and couldn't wait to know the results of his monitoring.

Sergeant Kenneth was a little flustered when he saw that the captain took the matter so seriously. What was originally a hand-to-hand thing was now given to the boss to stand behind him, and it would inevitably appear to be frantic.But he still tried to calm his emotions, and concentrated on operating his detection equipment.

In fact, when the signal first appeared, it happened to be when the seal was about to board the boat. Sergeant Kenneth focused on searching for the seal and the surrounding waters, so he didn't care about keeping the strange signal true.Thinking about it now, Sergeant Kenneth felt somewhat regretful.he thinks.If I was a little distracted and glanced more at that time, I am afraid there would be no such a lot of trouble now.But the matter has ended.Stop talking nonsense!He secretly reminded himself that it's better to quickly find out its origin.

However, this is often the case.At first it was just a matter of effort, but now it suddenly becomes extremely tricky.The signal that was very strong just now suddenly disappeared.

"Damn! Damn it."

Sergeant Kenneth couldn't help cursing in his heart, he felt that he had fallen into a big somersault in front of the captain this time.But he thought about it and felt that he was wronged. When the seals boarded the boat, who would care about other things?Besides, this extremely sensitive monitoring device is in hand.Sensitive enough to detect the snoring sound of the enemy submarine crew. According to this, there are many short-term interference sources. Although the signal just now is strong but lasts very short, there is no possibility of an enemy submarine or other attacks. Sex weapons.

Sergeant Kenneth thought anxiously, and he was not idle at all, only to see him toggle the switch.Twist the knob in the west, press the button in the south, push and pull the down button in the north, like a dj playing music in a karaoke hall.Once busy, but still no results.The mysterious and short signal disappeared without a trace.

Seeing that Sergeant Kenneth kept adjusting his hands and feet to Shunfeng's ears, he could not give any results.Captain Jackson began to feel a little anxious.He has always been composed as the chief officer of an attack nuclear submarine. He has lived underwater all the year round, and has long developed a calm and tenacious character.Whether it is fast tracking or sitting on the bottom, in the face of the complex topography of the seafloor and the changing ocean currents, Captain Jackson has dealt with it safely and decisively.Because he knows.Even a small mistake by him could be a big mistake. The lives of more than a hundred brothers in the boat were all pinched in his hands.How could this make him carelessly, walking on thin ice!

But the strange thing is that no matter how precarious the situation, Captain Jackson is not as nervous as today. The reason is that the sea wolf, which is a behemoth under the sea, is floating on the ocean at this moment. This is its most vulnerable time, no matter it What a fierce weapon it is equipped with, how fast and sensitive it is, it is useless at the moment.Once surfaced, there was no way to fight back against any attack.This sea wolf is a piece of meat on the chopping board, a dish on the table, and a lamb to be slaughtered.

Finally, Captain Jackson saw a smile on Sergeant Kenneth's face.I saw him write a few words in a tweaked font on a printed monitoring report.

The Lincoln aircraft carrier.

Sergeant Kenneth took a little more than three minutes to determine the location of the signal. It came from Bahrain, to be precise, from the main force of the Fifth Fleet anchored in the naval port, and the only aircraft carrier in service, the USS Lincoln.

Captain Jackson finally breathed a sigh of relief, but after another thought, he found something strange again.Did the signal come from the Lincoln?This seems abnormal!The USS Lincoln aircraft carrier battle group has just arrived at its home port. Tonight is the day when all the ships arriving at the port have a regular holiday. Who would use large communication equipment to send such a powerful signal?If this is the case, you must check it out.

Seeing Captain Jefferson drilled out of the hatch with his own monitoring report, Sergeant Kenneth finally breathed a sigh of relief. His report recorded that the USS Lincoln conventionally powered aircraft carrier continued at 22:05. Send out an unknown signal wave for as long as five minutes.But he knew that it wasn't the mysterious signal that made him embarrassed at all, but he made it up to avoid sweeping face in front of the captain.

Sergeant Kenneth came up with such a solution when he was desperate.The reason is simple. Anyway, the mysterious signal will never appear again, and the largest warship in Bahrain is the Lincoln, so that's it!Kenneth didn't want to delay any longer, so he made a secret decision.

Guided by the light signal, two assault boats slowly approached, and a assault squad consisting of fifteen SEALs boarded the Jimmy Carter nuclear-powered attack submarine.

In the next few days, this assault team will be like a sharp dagger, quickly piercing the coastal defense net of Somalia, silently searching for the surviving Raptor pilot, finding and bringing him back safely. Come home.At the same time, the exact location coordinates of the wreckage of the Raptor must be sent to the reconnaissance satellite overhead. A B-2 stealth bomber on standby at the Saudi Air Force base will launch a precision-guided aircraft from the high seas under the guidance of the satellite. The cruise missile evaporates the remains of the Raptor in one fell swoop to prevent leaks.

Captain Will Bowton was the last to climb the sea wolf's hydrofoil. He turned around and looked at the illuminated military port, filled with nostalgia.Thinking of facing the unfamiliar environment in Somalia and Somalia by himself soon, as well as those unforeseen emergencies, he couldn't help but silently warn himself that he must return to the world of wild seals as soon as possible.

The captain was faintly disturbed. A strange scene was always playing back in his mind. A drop of ink dripped into the stream and soon disappeared without a trace.I hope we will not be fifteen drops of fleeting ink!

Just like another SEAL team that was damaged in Somalia, it disappeared as worthless!
