728 The Confident Shiloh Formation
The Seventh Fleet of the US Navy is one of the ocean-going fleets under the US Navy. It is affiliated with the Pacific Fleet of the US Indo-Pacific Command. It was established on March 15, 1943 and was renamed as the Seventh Task Force of the US Navy on August 19, 1949. The name of the Seventh Fleet was restored in February 1950.
The Seventh Fleet Command is located in Yokosuka Port in Neon. Its headquarters includes the Neon Sasebo Base, Okinawa, Busan, Pohang, Zhenhai Base and Singapore. It also often hosts HK supplies. It is the largest overseas front-line delivery force in the United States. It is used to intimidate the cooperation between enemy and allies, protect maritime channels, assist in defense of American allies, and use force when intimidation fails. It also often serves as a mobile fleet for the United States to conduct military operations abroad.
At this time, a formation was sailing on the sea was composed of the Ticandroga-class missile cruiser of the Seventh Fleet, the Larsen of the Arleigh Burke-class destroyer and the Mustin.
The formation happened to be on a cruise mission near Okinawa, but received a rescue request from the King Kong from the Sasebo base, so the formation turned to the place where the King Kong was sent to the target.
"Captain, the radar monitored an unknown object and was heading towards us at high speed. The speed...the speed exceeded fifty knots!" The officer of the Bridge CIC rubbed his eyes and reported the captain of the Cialo incredible way.
"Unknown objects over fifty chalks? What? Are you sure you are not kidding me? April Fool's Day is not here yet!" The captain of the Shielou was also shocked. He hurried to the seat of the officer who was reporting and asked.
"Captain, this is true! Wait, there is another unknown object heading towards our ship! But the speed is not as fast as the first one. After the calculated speed is thirty knots." The officer was about to explain to his captain, but he said after seeing another monitoring target jump out of the radar screen.
"Can the two targets identify what exactly?" asked the captain of the Schillo.
"I'll try..."
The officer answered the question from his captain, and his hands had already pulled out a afterimage on the keyboard.
A few seconds later, the officer stopped his hands like a snoring. He looked up and turned to report to the captain: "Captain, you can only detect these two unknown objects that are about the same size as normal humans, but what exactly is impossible to detect."
"What? I said this is not an April Fool's Day joke! How could a normal human-sized object run to the sea for fifty quarters?" The captain was stunned for a moment, then suddenly remembered something and asked the officer quickly: "Wait, can it be a missile?"
"I don't know, captain. But if we don't react anymore, then we will encounter the other party in 17 minutes. Wait, the other party has changed direction! It should not be an attack weapon." The officer looked at the radar screen in front of him to report.
"It's not an attack weapon? Could it be equipment made by any nearby country?" An officer whispered.
Of course, they naturally know which country this country.
The captain of the Shielou also had his own guess about this. He thought about it and ordered: "No matter what these two unknown objects are, the direction they came from is the direction of the Neon Sea that had asked us for help. I have a great reason to suspect that this is a secret equipment made by a certain country. Maybe it was because of them that the King Kong had a conflict with the troops that protected the equipment here. Prepare to intercept it!"
"I understand, Captain!"
The officers of the bridge responded in unison.
As soon as the ship was turned, the Shielou was heading towards the first unknown object that changed direction.
As soon as the Shielou changed direction, he heard the officer in charge of monitoring shouting: "Captain! The other party is also changing direction!"
"The other party has also changed direction, which means that the other party must have a secret. If you change direction, you must stop it!" The captain of the Xialuo ordered.
"Yes, Captain!"
The second pair who controlled the servo skillfully changed the direction of the Shailo based on the information uploaded on the screen on one side.
Faced with the change in the direction of the Shailo, the unknown object monitored by the radar was also changing direction rapidly.
In this way, as both sides change each other, the distance between the two sides is getting closer and closer.
"Alarm! An unknown aircraft is approaching the center! The direction is 76.35 north and 59.58 east! Captain, there are six, no, nine unknown aircraft are approaching the center! The distance is 24 nautical miles, the speed is 780 per second!" Suddenly, the officer in charge of monitoring put down his headphones and shouted.
"Set the first-level combat readiness state!" The captain of the Xialuo immediately ordered.
"Level 1 combat readiness! First level combat readiness! Everyone takes their place! Screw to the right side of the front, tilt upwards, stern, and downwards, ready to attack unknown aircraft!" The first mate picked up the caller and repeated the command.
"Combat officer, the air surveillance system is ready!"
"The attack boat team is ready, the melee system is set to automatically fire!"
"Full speed forward and turn left rudder!"
The officers of the Bridge CIC immediately passed the orders to various combat departments of the entire ship.
"Captain, do you need a warning?" the first mate asked the captain of the Shielou after the arrangement.
The captain looked at the unknown craft that was getting closer and closer on the screen, picked up the telephone and said, "This is the formation of the US Navy Cialo, please immediately explain your identity and change your route, otherwise we will take defensive measures! Finish. Repeat this is the formation of the US Navy Cialo, please immediately explain your identity and change your route, otherwise we will take defensive measures!"
After waiting for a while, a female officer in the CIC suddenly shouted: "The missile was detected! Unidentified aircraft is a missile!"
"Start the jamming bomb immediately, prepare to deal with the impact and stand firm!" Without the captain's answer, the first mate ordered.
"Everyone, stand firm and support!" Through the in-ship communication system, the orders were passed down layer by layer.
While speaking, nine 460mm Type 91 armor-piercing missiles considered as missiles rushed towards the Xialuo from high altitude.
"Bail bomb fire!"
At the command of the fire control officer, the bait bomb on the Xialuo ejected out towards the predicted area.
Three shells were interfered with the ballistics by the explosion of bait bombs, and three splashes of water dozens of meters high were smashed near the Schillo.
"Three rounds are almost missing!" the lady officer shouted.
"Let the dense array intercept all the missiles behind!" The captain of the Xiailo grabbed his handle and ordered.
The dense array system is worthy of being the last line of defense for American naval ships. After several short shots, the remaining six shells were all exploded by volleys.
"We were attacked and lifted the fire restrictions. The five-inch cannon is ready to fire and kill this guy for me!" The captain stood firm and ordered.
"Combat officer, air surveillance, strike orbit 5024!" radar officer reported the data.
"The monitoring was received, the naval gun strikes the track 5024!" The gun group responsible for controlling the two naval guns at the beginning and the tail confirmed the order and pressed the firing button.
