On the day when the first 055-ton destroyer was launched, when countless Chinese people were excited, America couldn't help but make trouble.

Otherwise, how can we say that the person who knows you best is actually your opponent?

The launch of a warship does not mean that it will immediately form combat effectiveness. After launching, there are many links such as sea trials and commissioning. It usually takes 20 months to finally serve and form combat effectiveness. The first 055 destroyer will take no less than two years, and it is possible that it will take three years.

This time, America wanted to make trouble again. Its main purpose was to rush to 055. It intended to enter and get some important military secrets of this ship during the 055 sea trial. For this reason, America sent an oceanographic survey ship "Bowditch" to perform the mission. This ship is similar to the electronic reconnaissance ship in the big Eastern countries.

However, the main focus of the old magnesium "Bowditch" is not electronic reconnaissance, and it does not have that ability. Its main ability is to be responsible for reconnaissance of the seabed and ocean hydrological conditions.

…

Ten days later, a military exercise area was designated somewhere in the eastern waters of the country.

On Tuesday, July 11, the "Bowditch" that had already set off was about to enter the territorial waters of the Eastern power. At this moment, the captain of the ship was communicating with his superiors. When he received the latest action requirements, he was shocked: "What did you say? Turn off the transponder? Sir, this..."

Such an action order made the captain of the "Bowditch" curse in his heart. Such a bad idea could be thought of.

He immediately remembered some very bad memories. The "Bowditch" had turned off the transponder and visited the rabbit's house before, but the result was terrible.

Just sixteen years ago, the "Bowditch" went to the Yellow Sea once. Thinking that it was okay, it did not turn on the transponder. As a result, it was surrounded by a group of fishing boats in that sea area. The fishing boats were even more fierce than pirates. They drove the boats directly and crashed into them. Some fishing boats even almost climbed onto the ship with flying hooks and pulled the anchor to prevent them from leaving.

Since then, the Bowditch has learned that it must turn on the transponder, otherwise it will be very dangerous.

This so-called transponder is equivalent to an automatic messaging system. Generally speaking, whether it is an aircraft or a ship, including a warship, it is equipped with a transponder. In a non-war state, the transponder is usually turned on. Normally, as long as the transponder receives a signal, it can automatically answer without operation.

When a ship, especially a warship, sails to the territorial waters of another country, as long as the transponder is turned on, it means that the identity of the warship is transparent, which is equivalent to greeting the country to indicate that it wants to borrow the road from your house, and it is coming normally instead of sneaking.

Turning on the transponder is an act of harmless passage, which is an active statement of identity, similar to a security statement.

In this case, the territorial country generally will not make things difficult. Even if it is an aircraft carrier, as long as the transponder is turned on, there is no problem. The territorial country will at most send a warship to follow.

Because turning on the transponder is equivalent to actively reporting its coordinates to the territorial country, and reporting the position at any time, it means that the territorial country can launch missiles to sink it at any time.

To put it bluntly, turning on the transponder is equivalent to raising your hands high, indicating that you will not pose any threat to you, and you can sink it at any time if you have any ill intentions.

In fact, domestic news reports often see that America's aircraft carriers and British warships line up to visit, which makes many domestic netizens angry, and even think that their own people are still too weak. They just watch helplessly when others bully them at their doorstep without any reaction.

The news media does not report the details, and the vast majority of netizens do not know why. Many netizens who do not know the truth once read the news and were angry.

The real situation is that they all turned on the transponder when they came, and what is the consequence of not turning on the transponder? The experience of the "Bowditch" 16 years ago was the consequence of not turning on the transponder.

In fact, America and its younger brothers only learned to turn on the transponder in this century. In the last century, they never said hello. This is because they learned to turn on the transponder after their own active phased array radar was installed on the ship.

It can be seen that strength is always the most fundamental thing in this world.

At this moment, the captain of the "Bowditch" received such an order. He didn't want to do it from the bottom of his heart, but there was no way. This was an order, and he could only bite the bullet and take a chance.

"Sir, we are about to arrive at the exercise area."

At this moment, the position of the "Bowditch" was already sailing in the territorial waters of the Eastern power, and it was not far from the designated performance area. After hearing the crew's report, the captain of the ship immediately said: "Turn off the transponder, and take it easy!"

He didn't want the "Bowditch" to repeat the mistakes of sixteen years ago. That taste was not good at all.

In the designated performance area, all ships, including aircraft, were not allowed to enter, so the "Bowditch" did not dare to force its way in. This was still the state of turning off the transponder. If it was sunk, it would be unreasonable.

So the captain of the ship ordered to stop in the outer area, and then ordered the release of the underwater submersible, slowly approaching from underwater, and releasing towed sonar and other devices.

He was on this mission just to get by with the assignment from his superiors and just try his best. After all, there was a line in a TV show that goes, "Why risk your life for a few hundred dollars a month?" Besides, it's a vast ocean and you can't say that you have to complete the mission successfully, so it's fine as long as he can get the job done.

"Sir, there is something going on underwater!"

At this moment, the captain of the ship was startled when he heard his subordinates say this, but then the crew immediately added: "It's a school of fish!"

The captain was secretly relieved when he heard this, but then he scolded his subordinates for reporting halfway, and after the episode, he began to guide the deployment of tasks.

And the people on this ship have not yet realized that there is a bionic manta ray swimming among the fish school, and the current position is only an incredible 1 nautical mile away from the "Bowditch".

It is no exaggeration to say that such a distance is under the nose of the "Bowditch", but the towed sonar they threw into the sea did not find it, and they did not realize that their every move at this moment was exposed under the nose of the bionic manta ray.

Not only did the "Bowditch" not notice it at all, even the fish in the sea did not think there was anything wrong with the manta ray swimming with them, and the bionic manta ray was quietly monitoring the movements of the "Bowditch" in the sea.

All this information was transmitted to a 052D missile destroyer in the distance. At this moment, the commander of the ship was full of praise for the bionic manta ray. It was almost under the enemy's nose, but the enemy seemed to be in the dark and did not notice it at all.

This bionic manta ray has the ability of "detection and attack in one", but it is not equipped with a firepower system at present. If it is a state of war at this moment, this bionic manta ray is also equipped with torpedoes and launches an ambush on the "Bowditch", even if the gods come, it will be in vain.

While the commanders are not stingy in boasting about the bionic manta ray, they have also ordered to start the action. The two 052D missile destroyers have already headed straight for the location of the "Bowditch", and the bionic manta ray underwater is still lurking and tracking the whole way.

As time went by, the "Bowditch" soon discovered that two warships were coming directly towards them. The captain of the ship looked closely and was suddenly shocked: "What-F***? Why are there two Luhu-class (052) missile destroyers?"

The 052D destroyer was given the code name "Luhu-class" by Lao Mei. In fact, these code names are selfish or deliberately planned. There is no such name in China.

When seeing the two 052Ds coming aggressively, the captain of the "Bowditch" suddenly felt a shock in his heart.

It was discovered? When was it discovered? Why was there no warning?

Looking at the two approaching warships, he said in his heart that he was finished. Facing the 052D missile destroyer, the "Bowditch" could not escape at all.

At this moment, the captain of the ship was so scared that his legs went weak, because he knew very well that his ship did not turn on the transponder. This state could be regarded as a hostile act, and even if you were sunk, there would be no reason to complain. He immediately shouted: "Turn on the transponder quickly, quickly! Quick--!"

The crew also turned on the transponder in a hurry.
