If what Su Lin said is true, then it's not as simple as being surrounded from a distance.
The USS Mantis Shrimp (CVN-78) is very likely to lack any carrier-based aircraft, radar systems, or air defense missile systems.
It will be completely controlled by the enemy fleet.
I am, after all, the commander of the Eastern Military District.
Commander Yuan remained hesitant.
Commander Yuan has no time to think about it anymore.
Su Lin took the command communication device from Commander Yuan's hand.
"Full speed ahead, frigates, keep as far away from the aircraft carrier as possible and increase the escort distance."
Cruisers, hold the rear!
"Escort fleet received!"
Two frigates, attacking from both sides,
Keep enemy escort ships as far away as possible from the [Shrimp-class aircraft carrier].
The cruiser was positioned at the stern of the aircraft carrier, as a final counterattack.
If the calculation is indeed wrong, there is at least one return route at the tail end.
Captain of the aircraft carrier "Mantis Shrimp," under the orders of Su Lin,
The speed was increased to the maximum.
"Report! The enemy aircraft carrier is still accelerating!"
According to the radar signals of the E-3 early warning aircraft,
It can be clearly seen on the radar screen in the command center of the USS Iver.
The aircraft carrier "Mantis Shrimp" showed no intention of turning and headed straight for the aircraft carrier "Avery".
"Escort fleet, report your current position!"
Four American frigates, adopting a flanking maneuver, began approaching the USS Shrimp aircraft carrier.
"Report to carrier command: Enemy frigate detected!"
The two sides' frigates were now less than 10 nautical miles apart.
They have all entered each other's firing range.
The gun barrels were facing each other, and a fierce conflict could occur at any moment.
"Ignore the enemy's escort ships. Remember our objective is to intercept the enemy's aircraft carrier. Continue to approach!"
"Retaliate immediately if the enemy opens fire!"
The US frigate that received orders from Captain Justin
Adopt a 2-package-one strategy.
To avoid direct conflict with the Chinese frigates, they would instead launch a pincer attack from the front and rear.
They are constantly closing the distance to the "Mantis Shrimp" aircraft carrier.
"What's the situation with the nuclear-powered submarine?"
Captain Justin must redeem himself this time.
They have no intention of giving the Chinese fleet any chance.
Even the final retreat route was blocked.
"Sir, the nuclear submarine has locked onto the enemy cruiser at the stern."
We can launch an attack at any time!
"Don't lose them! This is their last escape route."
Do they really think our world's number one naval fleet is just for show?
As the aircraft carrier USS Mantis Shrimp gets closer and closer to the USS Avery,
The US frigates are already putting pressure on the aircraft carrier at a visible distance.
"Commander Yuan, we will be making contact with the enemy aircraft carrier in 5 minutes."
On the seemingly calm Pacific Ocean,
The two aircraft carriers faced each other across the sea, and Commander Yuan could already see the Union Jack flying on the other side.
Beep beep beep beep~~!!
The defense systems on the USS Ivory Coast aircraft carrier have begun issuing warnings.
"Order the destroyers to intercept."
An American destroyer traversed between the two aircraft carriers, intercepting them.
Now the "Mantis Shrimp" aircraft carrier is forcibly advancing.
It is highly likely that it will collide with the enemy's aircraft carrier.
"Commander Yuan! Enemy destroyers are blocking our path."
Captain of the aircraft carrier "Mantis Shrimp," my palms are starting to sweat.
Although the "Mantis Shrimp" aircraft carrier is more than ten times larger than the opposing destroyer in terms of mass and size,
However, this was a power test, and the ship was not equipped with any offensive weapons.
And defensive weapons,
"Principal Su, the enemy commander is no pushover either; he's determined to stop us at all costs."
Su Lin checked the time; at the current speed of the aircraft carrier, there were less than 3 minutes left.
The "Mantis Shrimp" aircraft carrier would crash head-on into the enemy's destroyer.
It's time to hand the general to the enemy.
"Calling J-20 escort formation!"
"Report! J-20 escort formation received!"
"Report your current altitude and location!"
"The J-20C escort formation, at an altitude of 15,000 meters, is currently over our aircraft carrier."
We are ready to attack enemy cruisers at any time!
"Principal Su, you're not thinking of blowing up their cruiser, are you? That's absolutely unacceptable!"
Commander Yuan harbored deep resentment towards the actions of the Americans in the Pacific.
But now is not the time for the two sides to go to war.
If our side launches an attack first, it is very likely that all the countries around the Pacific will be drawn into this war.
If the higher-ups blame you, you'll be sent to a military court, let alone the commander.
"Calm down, Principal Su! We're here to conduct aircraft carrier propulsion experiments, not to carry out precision strikes against the enemy fleet!"
"Report! Enemy aircraft formation detected, rapidly descending!"
The "Mantis Shrimp" aircraft carrier continued to move forward at high speed.
Captain Justin ordered a formation of F-14 fighter jets to conduct low-altitude threat operations.
The plan is to apply pressure from the air to force the escort ships of the Chinese aircraft carrier group to abandon their defensive resistance.
Eight F-14 fighter jets swooped down from the sky.
They flew over the two Chinese frigates.
"Attention enemy fleet! You may change course; otherwise, it will be considered an unauthorized intrusion into our patrol area."
Firepower will be deployed! First warning!
"Attention enemy fleet! You may change course; otherwise, it will be considered an unauthorized intrusion into our patrol area."
Firepower will be deployed! Second warning!
The American destroyer blocking the USS Mantis Shrimp aircraft carrier broadcast the order to destroy it in both languages.
"Principal Su, the other side has actually opened fire for the third time!"
The Americans have done this kind of thing quite often in the Middle East before.
It could be another country's fleet; the warning might just be verbal.
Americans are not like that.
"Calling J-20C escort formation to immediately break through enemy air interception and proceed to the rear of the USS Avery carrier!"
"J-20C escort formation received!"
Eight J-20C fighter jets, at an altitude of 15,000 meters and a speed approaching Mach 3,
It cut through the radar defense systems of the destroyers that preceded the two aircraft carriers.
They arrived at the rear of the USS Avery aircraft carrier.
"Report to carrier command center, we have reached the target location. Please issue instructions!"
"Locked on the enemy aircraft carrier!!!"
"receive!!!!"
The J-20C escort formation descended rapidly from an altitude of over 10,000 meters, like lightning.
The fire control radar was activated immediately.
The control center of the USS Avery aircraft carrier has been locked down...
