1103. Chapter 1103: Achilles' Heel

Long Noon nodded, "Then, what you should do now should be to contact the US military and organize a joint operation to recapture the warship." Please search for the fastest updated novels instead of coming to us. We can't help in any way. ”

Grace shook her head and said, "Mr. Long, I need you. These people know very well how we move, and they have been preparing for a long time, and they are very well prepared in all aspects. Given the value of this new destroyer, we don't want to go to the extreme of destroying it. In fact, we may also have to pay a big price to destroy this ship with an integrated defense system. Compared with the Arleigh Burke-class guided missile destroyers, the Zumwalt-class destroyers have a three-fold increase in surface firepower and opposition ship missile capabilities, a 50-fold reduction in radar radiation surface, a 10-fold increase in air defense capabilities, and a 10-fold increase in coastal combat capabilities, including mine-clearance capabilities. Gentlemen, for this we have already lost two warplanes. ”

"I have a strange idea, they are not professionals, how did they get this ship out? To drive a destroyer and be able to fight at home, it takes at least a few hundred people. ”

Lin Rui frowned.

"That's another reason why we need you. Although it is difficult to say, there are indications that the personnel on board the Zumwalt-class destroyer were involved in their hijacking. Some of the ship's crew were shot dead in the dock, while others cooperated with the Order's forces to hijack the ship. This is a disgrace in the history of the Royal Navy. ”

Grace whispered.

"They have an internal response on board, and there should be no less. ”

Long Ziwu frowned and said, "No wonder they were able to complete the hijacking along the way, this is strikingly similar to the incident of the last attack on the US military base." Last time it was a whole Delta company defecting en masse, this time it was the British Navy. ”

"Yes, I don't know why. There were at least a hundred people on board, all of whom had defected. Even more terrifying is that they were trained in combat with Zumwalt-class destroyers. After the incident, we dispatched warplanes, on the one hand, to track them, and on the other hand, to communicate with them, in the hope that they would be able to turn back. ”

But their reply was to destroy the two planes. ”

Dragon Noon shrugged.

"Yes. ”

Grace whispered.

"So at least for now, we don't even know who to trust. ”

"As I said last time, the British Navy Special Forces have their men, and the Special Air Service Regiment that you are proud of. ”

Lin Rui shook his head.

"So how can we help you?"

Dragon Noon Rose said.

Grace whispered, "Help us get that ship back." ”

"I'm afraid you're tall, ma'am. ”

Long Noon shrugged and said, "We're just some mercenaries, we can solve small-scale conflicts, and we can even fight some very small wars. Well, in fact, we also have a certain naval combat capability, of course, in the African sphere. But against a state-of-the-art destroyer armed to the teeth, it is not something that a few of our battered armed civilian ships can do. It wasn't in the seventeenth century, and I wasn't a privateer captain. To tell you the truth, I can fight pirates with my few armed civilian ships welded with iron plates. ”

Grace nodded, "We never thought of attacking a Zumwalt-class destroyer in this way. In a regular naval battle, unless we are afraid that we will have to mobilize the whole ship formation, and we will have to take a certain amount of risk. But you can do it in the way you do best, send your squad, armed infiltrators, and board the ship. From the hands of the Secret Society, take back control of the ship. ”

"Do you think it's possible? I've heard of this ship, it's very capable of attacking. Advanced naval artillery relies on satellite positioning systems to fire 600 long-range ground attack shells in 30 minutes. It also has 80 launchers capable of firing Tomahawk missiles and other types of missiles. If we can't get close, we'll be shattered. ”

Long Noon shook his head.

"But with the help of the British Navy, things would be a little simpler. ”

Grace whispered, "We'll use the submarine to quietly transport you to the neighborhood, and then send you out through the torpedo pipe." They have strong anti-submarine capabilities, but it is difficult to identify frogman raids. Because frogmen are a target with very low noise of their own, the target's ability to reflect sound waves is also relatively low. ”

"Could it be that this ship doesn't have anti-frogman sonar?"

Long Noon frowned.

In modern times, with the continuous invention of underwater breathing equipment and underwater explosive weapons, the combat effectiveness of the combat frogman unit has developed by leaps and bounds, and the Italian frogman claimed to have achieved brilliant results in sinking two enemy battleships during World War II.

In modern warfare, frogmen are an important means for the weaker side to gain asymmetric advantages, and the navies of all countries - whether they are naval powers or not, vigorously develop frogman special forces, therefore, as a naval power, they all have great military needs on how to resist frogman attacks, and the primary military need in this regard is how to know how frogmen are approaching.

As the first useful means of underwater detection, sonar has also developed many anti-frogman series.

And the United States has always been a leader in this area, because they had enough of the Vietnamese frogmen during the Vietnam War.

So it is impossible for such a new destroyer, which claims to have gathered all the advanced technologies, to be without such equipment.

Grace nodded, "Yes, but you also know that the ship is currently in the testing phase. A super-sensitive sonar set was used, but one of the sonars for the anti-frogman was currently being repaired and debugged and the installation was not completed. So this became the Achilles heel of the ship, and it was our only chance. ”

"In other words, a ship can't prevent the surprise attack of underwater frogmen?"

Lin Rui frowned.

"Yes. If you are careful not to make too loud noises underwater. It is entirely possible to circumvent their sonar system. Because their precision sonar group is missing a link. And if you get on that ship, then it's a lot easier. I know you're experts at infiltrating raids. ”

Grace said slowly.

Long Noon nodded after hearing this, "It seems a little possible, but this task is too difficult." From underwater diving, to boarding and fighting, to complete control of the ship. This qiē is not so easy to say. ”

"I see what you mean. So we have prepared a great reward for you. ”

"Because there's no room for error." It is highly likely that the people of the Order will transport the ship to a certain place and then disassemble and sell it. Because this ship involves a variety of current top high-tech, many countries will rush to it. Their bid could even exceed the cost of the entire ship by $3.3 billion. ”
