At the crucial moment, Commander Rasit stood up and picked up the talker.

"At all costs, drive it away from the blockade."

"It... is in the field of view of the helicopter." The anti-submarine helicopter driver subconsciously pushed the lever.

"Then catch up with it, you get the right to freely fire."

Two anti-submarine helicopters roared in the direction of the giant ship, and two rocket deep-water bombs were hung under their belly.

They also turned on helicopter fire control radar, and the fire control radar can firmly bite this huge 10,000-ton ship at a distance that is already visible.

"???"

A few seconds after the fire-controlled radar was turned on, the two helicopter pilots were inexplicably staring at the radar screen.

Above...

Nothing above.

"Can you lock it with the radar?" The two helicopter pilots inquired about each other through the talker.

Get a reply that can't, even the radar can't find the target at all. The driver and the weapon operator were not surprised, and immediately switched to the optical aiming mode, ready for manual operation.

Then they were horrified and found that the silhouette of the black giant wheel that was rushing through the ocean was slowly getting smaller at a speed visible to the naked eye.

They raised the speed of the helicopter to the maximum and found that it was still unable to catch up with the "step" of the giant ship.

Can the plane not catch up with the huge wheel?

Even if it is a helicopter, they are driving an aircraft with two 522 kW electric turboshaft engines. The total engine of 1044 kW is full-speed. In good weather, it can fly up to 250 km/h.

The radar can't detect it, and the pilots with a visual acuity of 3.0 can also visually test.

"Report... report to the governor, that may not be a huge ship."

Commander Rasit saw from the screen that the helicopter could not catch up with the huge wheel. He roared: "Isn't it a big ship, is it a submarine?"

"Your eyes are blind, why not radar lock?"

If at the scene, Commander Rasit will definitely drive the drivers of the two anti-submarine helicopters into the sea. According to the video pod display of the anti-submarine aircraft, the huge wheel suddenly swayed in the distant waters.

The two anti-submarine helicopters walked into the air, slowly following the tail of the giant wheel, watching the giant wheel go away.

"Sir, they went in the direction of anti-submarine blockade."

After that, the pilots of the two helicopters were not talking, letting the commanding ship pass the roar of the skull.

They don't know how to explain this weird thing, but soon the blockade line will feel the unknown fear they feel now.

......

In fact, at the moment when the anti-submarine helicopter found the target, the three ships that executed the blockade command immediately rushed toward the target at full speed.

The information is wrong, it is not a submarine.

This can dispel their previous incomprehensibility, because from the satellite photos, the secret cargo ship of the giant beast industry has no way to relate to the submarine.

Even if it is for carrying goods, it should not completely leave the fluid mechanics behind.

Now the answer is solved. It is not a submarine at all, but a black "behemoth" that can gallop at super high speed on the sea.

At the same time as the answer was solved, another question rose in the hearts of everyone in the command room.

How fast can it run?

How did it escape the ubiquitous radar detection method?

The deeper the answer, the more determined the commander Rasit will be able to catch the strange ship. This ship must have advanced ship power technology that they have not yet mastered.

It happened that the giant ship "escaped" toward the other end of the blockade network.

The time to meet the big wheel was earlier than everyone expected.

In less than twenty minutes, the sonar buoys they had previously laid out clearly detected the track of the huge wheel.

Sonar number coordinates 174, speed...

Speed ​​of 130 knots?

Their thoughts were struck by violent shocks, and after a few minutes, all the sonar buoys around them detected the data, and the people in the combat command room dared to accept this fact.

There are no routine radio calls that can leave evidence, and there are no lights warnings. This is a secret operation that must not be known to the outside world.

So when the giant wheel entered the sonar buoy detection network, Commander Rasit issued a warning shot command.

Faster, you can't always cross the missile.

This is a civilian ship. In the face of absolute force, they can only stop the ship.

The third ship was previously taken the opportunity to probe the abnormal sound source and has taken the lead to drive a few nautical miles. Therefore, when the sonar detection network detected the target, the No. 3 frigate was less than 20 nautical miles from the target ship.

Commander Rasit gave up the Deep Water Bomb program, which was only suitable for attacking the submarine.

"Single-shot de-loading mk-46 torpedo warning shot."

"Yes." Commander of the 3rd frigate immediately answered.

A modified mk-46 torpedo was thrown out of the torpedo tube by a frigate.

The dark gray metal cylinder, which is nearly three meters long, plunges into the sea and splashes the waves. At the same time, the tail air compression thruster starts immediately and heads for the giant ship.

There is no need for a frigate to lock through the radar.

The detection method of torpedoes has always been dominated by the main and passive sound squeaking techniques at the front end.

Now hundreds of nautical miles are surrounded by dense passive sonar buoys, torpedoes into the water, and hundreds of sonar buoys are its eyes.

The mk-46 modified torpedo is a light torpedo with a speed of 40 knots and can be accelerated during the final sprint hitting the enemy.

In addition, under normal circumstances, this torpedo can carry a high-explosive warhead close to 50 kilograms. Now it has been reduced to 20 kilograms and set to explode at the target ship 20 meters.

Even the torpedo that reduces the charge is enough to scare the sailors on the target ship.

The torpedo skipped a fine snake-like white blister on the surface of the water. According to the guidance of the sonar buoy, it straight forward toward the target ship.

The other side's speed is extremely fast, so the torpedo is less than tens of minutes in the rushing, and it is close to the ten-mile range of the target ship.

The mk-46 torpedo is not long, but the other side is just a civilian ship. It is impossible to find a torpedo that plunders in a few meters deep.

“Sound sock buoy detection, the torpedo is six nautical miles away from the target.”

"Four nautical miles."

"Three nautical miles. Twenty seconds from the explosion."

The information on the No. 3 frigate was continuously transmitted back to the command ship. At this time, some sailors had already ran to the deck of the frigate, ready to watch the scene of the sea.

They are only a few tens of nautical miles away from the target ship. Standing on the deck, you can clearly see the full outline of the black wheel at the end of the sea level.

"Fiveteen seconds, lock the target and enter the sprint phase."

"Wait~"

“The goal seems to have been discovered and it is starting to turn.”

"Scorpio, it... it's..."

The humpback whale is drifting.

When the torpedo entered the humpback whale two nautical miles, it was captured by the optical lens around the hull.

The humpback whale is an air-cushioned high-speed wheel that differs from the narrow body of a traditional giant wheel. Its aspect ratio is only three to one, and the bottom of the ship is not in contact with water.

So in an impossible way, it made a s-shaped wave at sea.

The mk-46 torpedo was left behind and entered the sprint stage. It was at 50 knots to follow the huge target of 130 knots.

In vain, it was less than twenty seconds, and the mk-46 torpedo sank into the sea because it was running out of power.

At this time, its distance from the humpback whale has been re-opened to three nautical miles.

This scene shocked everyone on the frigate.

Then the sailors on the deck saw a more shocking scene. The black giant did not turn around and fled, but adjusted the angle slightly and headed towards the frigate.

"what!"

"They... are they crazy?"

The distance between the two is less than five nautical miles. At this distance, the helmsman in the cockpit can clearly see the huge and horrible black body of the humpback whale.

Its front end, like a diamond, has a diamond-shaped cut.

I don't know if it is an illusion or a light, the helmsman seems to find the metal material at the front end of the huge wheel, which is slightly different from the surrounding.

It is slightly reflective in the sun.

The frigate is just a small body with a width of 13 meters and a displacement of 3,000 tons.

The frigate has been given the right to fire at any time, and the commander roars in the combat command room. "Send the Harpoon anti-ship missile. We want him to understand who is the real master in the sea."

"Long... sir, our fire control radar can't find the target."

"Also to the sea radar, it is at sea... it is invisible."

At this moment, the commander had a bitter cold feeling of falling into the Arctic ice cave. Because of the curvature of the Earth and the fact that the sea surface is easily absorbed by electromagnetic waves, the search engines for the sea on all ships cannot search for sea surface ships exceeding 30 nautical miles.

Of course, early warning and reconnaissance aircraft are not limited by curvature detection.

The previous radar could not detect the ship's target, and the commander naturally thought it was too far away.

In addition, there are dense sonar buoys, and there is no need for shipborne radar to lock.

Now, it humiliated a mk-46 torpedo and pointed the bow at the frigate.

"Then change the optical lock, then a big ship, are you all blind?"

A few seconds later, a spear anti-ship missile whizzed out.

Compared with outdated torpedoes, the parameters of the harpoon anti-ship missile are more than ten times higher?

After launch, it can accelerate to Mach 0.9 in 7 seconds and the maximum range can reach 300 kilometers.

Intense white smoke spurred, and the Harpoon anti-ship missile spewed a hot wake, rushing toward the black giant ship.

Less than 10,000 meters between the two, with the speed of the harpoon anti-ship missile, after twenty seconds, you can see the front of the huge wheel bursting hot fireball. Type drift avoidance?

Harpoon anti-ship missiles have a variety of locking methods, radar is not available, it also has optical locking and infrared locking. Even if it is not hit, it can turn back.
