The patrol ship was equipped with a sea-facing radar model.
This advanced radar could automatically detect, provide the target's distance and position, and detect and lock onto low-flying targets. At the same time, its navigation function could quickly and accurately determine the position and speed of the ship and neighboring ships to avoid collisions.
Because of this, the radar's observation window began to frantically alert.
The radar operator frantically rubbed his eyes, suspecting that he was seeing things.
Traces of a small ship suddenly appeared on the empty sea surface. It was slanted and sprinted towards the belly of the Brownwood patrol ship.
"Three thousand meters away," the operator shouted in disbelief.
"There must be something wrong with the radar. What ship can travel at 45 knots? And it suddenly appeared. " Captain Broughton forced himself to calm down and quickly ordered, "Lock on the searchlights and load the main gun with flares. I want to see what the hell is there. "
BAM!
Accompanied by a violent explosion, a flare was shot high into the sky.
Then, the night within a two-kilometer radius was lit up by a fierce burning light, as if it was daytime.
As the flare slowly fell, the crew of the Brownwood suddenly realized that there really was a ship at four o 'clock.
It was a two-story ship with a white hull and a sharp bow. It was a streamlined, two-story ship.
It looked a bit like a yacht, but the sci-fi shape and the black superstructure made it look more like an unknown ship from the future.
It was half the size of the patrol ship Brownwood, and there was no radio signal, no AIS ship positioning system, and no GPS positioning signal.
"The distance is one thousand meters. According to the trajectory calculation, we will collide in one minute." The operator's voice was a little frightened.
"Unknown ship ahead, please change course immediately and stop the ship for inspection. Otherwise, we will treat it as an attack and initiate defense." Captain Broughton was also afraid, or rather, the crew on the ship was afraid.
Did this sci-fi looking yacht come out of the water? What was it trying to do?
"Unknown ship ahead, please change course immediately …"
Captain Broughton repeated again, but there was still no signal about the yacht in the radio. Then, the people on the Brownwood heard an engine roar that they had never heard before.
Just like the sound of a supercar and an airplane engine, the air was filled with surging power.
Seven hundred meters, the searchlight had already locked onto the bow of the huge yacht, allowing the people on the yacht to clearly see the four tall water curtains that were trailing at the stern.
Captain Broughton shouted the order to fire.
The auto-reloading 76mm rapid-fire cannon immediately turned its muzzle and aimed at the speedily advancing yacht.
The first shell was not equipped with a fuse, so it was considered a warning shot.
However, the moment the muzzle was turned around, the sailors on the ship were shocked to find that the yacht had burst out with an impossible acceleration in an instant, forcibly drawing an arc in the water.
The cannonball hit the sea and created a huge splash. A thermos bottle-like shell popped out of the ejector, and before the second shell was pushed into the barrel, the yacht suddenly accelerated to ninety knots, zigzagging on the surface of the water.
The distance of seven hundred meters was closed in a few breaths. The rapid-fire cannon hastily fired four shots, but only one of them hit the yacht. The loud explosion tore a washbasin-sized hole in the bow of the yacht.
Then, a mournful alarm sounded on the surface of the sea.
It wasn't the yacht, but the Brownwood that sounded the alarm. After being hit by a cannonball, the yacht was less than fifty meters away from the Brownwood.
The Brownwood had already dodged with its rudder, but its efforts were in vain. No matter how clumsy it swung, the yacht could quickly point its blade-like bow at it. There was nowhere to hide, so a mournful collision warning sounded on the ship.
The screams of sailors could be heard everywhere on the ship. The rapid-fire cannon installed at the bow of the ship could no longer be aimed because of the angle. At this time, a six-barreled 20mm dense array at the stern of the ship roared. The bullet hit the hull of the yacht, producing a thunderous sound and sparks.
But two seconds later, the yacht, which had accelerated to ninety knots, had already crashed into the middle of the Brownwood's hull.
What did ninety knots mean?
In yards, it was 166 yards per hour. Imagine a car that was traveling at 166 yards per hour. No, it should be a mountain that weighed thousands of tons. What did it mean to crash into the Brownwood?
In the command cabin of the Brownwood, time and air seemed to freeze at this moment.
In the next moment, all the members tried their best, roaring and grabbing anything that could fix them. Then the lights began to burst into sparks, and the entire hull began to shake violently, making a terrifying sound of metal being torn apart.
"Boom ~"
A sound that was dozens of times more shocking than the explosion of a rapid-fire cannon shell burst out from the Brownwood.
The dense array was instantly silenced, and the Brownwood turned into a wooden stick, which was then broken in half. Under the mountain-splitting impact, the Brownwood was forcefully pushed back more than twenty meters in parallel.
The yacht's entire hull was dented, and the hull had a washbasin-sized hole blasted by the rapid-fire cannon and a hideous wound torn by the dense array.
But in this tragic situation, not only did its stern thrusters not go on strike, but they once again increased their horsepower. Like an angry ancient behemoth, they pressed forward against the Brownwood and advanced into the depths of the ocean.
Everyone in the vicinity was dumbfounded by this shocking turn of events.
The sailors on the Level hid in the cabin and did not show their heads at the request of the two Master Metal Experts. They could only hear the roar of the artillery shells and the dense array, and then the sound of the impact.
Hovering above the Level, the people on the Dolphin helicopter, who had wanted to guide it to stop, were stunned as if they had been struck by lightning.
They hovered high in the sky, so they saw more.
They saw a huge yacht with a sci-fi appearance roaring out of the dark night. Then there were incendiary bombs, artillery shells, and 20mm cannons to intercept it, but the yacht turned into a bolt of lightning without any trajectory to speak of, avoiding most of the artillery shells. In the fiercest and straightest posture, it hit the hull of the Brownwood.
They would never forget that moment for the rest of their lives.
A 3,200-ton patrol ship was bent in an instant.
And …
At that moment, the yacht seemed to have the illusion of jumping up from the water and pouncing on the Brownwood.
Looking at the Brownwood that had lost its power, the hull folded in a V shape, and was moving sideways quickly. The crew of the Dolphin used all their strength and shouted into the communicator, "Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"
"Ah ~"
"Help …"
Aboard the Brownwood, some of the sailors, including Captain Broughton, struggled to their feet from the earth-shattering impact and desperately scrambled to the deck.
There was an inflatable escape boat on the deck. This was the edge of the main international waterway. As long as they could jump into the lifeboat, they would definitely survive.
The Dolphin helicopter chased after them in vain. It was only a patrol helicopter. Relying on a few members with assault rifles in the cabin, it did not even have the qualifications to tickle the yacht.
Gradually, dozens of crew members struggled to appear on the deck of the Brownwood. But none of them dared to take out the inflatable lifeboat and jump into the sea.
Because the yacht, which was firmly embedded in the hull, was pushed out horizontally. It had been moving at a fast speed.
They did not know how far they were pushed out. It seemed to be a long time, but it also seemed to be only a few minutes.
The Brownwood, which was constantly flooded, had begun to tilt seriously.
Under the pursuit of the searchlight of the Dolphin, the yacht seemed to have reached the place where the oil lamp ran out, and huge bubbles emerged from both sides of the hull from time to time. The speed was also getting slower and slower.
In the end, the Brownwood, which was taken out of more than 20 nautical miles, and the ghost-like yacht, finally stopped slowly.
The sailors on the ship immediately cried and threw lifeboats into the sea. The Dolphin helicopter hovered in the sky and kept throwing life jackets down.
"Gulu ~ Gulu ~"
The seawater rushed into the cabin of the Brownwood, and it slowly sank. It was firmly photographed by the cabin crew on the Dolphin with their mobile phones.
"Gulu ~ Gulu ~"
The ghost yacht also followed with a huge splash. Maybe the previous violent impact also killed it.
It didn't matter anymore. It was firmly embedded in the Brownwood. Even if it was intact, it would be buried with it. This made all the crew members who escaped to the lifeboat feel a little less afraid.
Otherwise, if it did not sink, the sailors really did not know whether to beg for mercy or die rather than surrender.
Of course ~
They did not know that this was not a yacht with a sci-fi style at all.
It was called the Lord's Battleship. At the moment, there was no one on the ship. It was completely operated by remote control that human technology could not detect. Moreover, deep sea diving was its specialty.
For example, after it sank hundreds of meters with the Brownwood, it started the propulsion system again and took the Brownwood to the depths of the distant and silent unknown sea.
… …
At the same time, in the base of the UA Fifth Fleet in Arabia, the combat readiness duty room alarm rang.
The crew and sailors who participated in the combat readiness duty jumped out of their beds one by one as if they had been electrocuted.
At the same time, the UA Guam, the combat readiness duty room alarm rang.
The crew members who participated in the combat readiness duty jumped out of their beds one by one as if they had been electrocuted.
Fifteen minutes later, an EP-3E electronic reconnaissance aircraft took off from the runway in an emergency.
Half an hour later, two Burke-class destroyers, full of fuel and ammunition, madly moved toward the Grete Strait.
Burke-class destroyers.
The main warship of the UA Navy is one of the world's newest, most advanced, and most comprehensive destroyers in combat power. At the same time, it is the world's largest number of active destroyers.
What is the most comprehensive destroyer combat power?
