Grand Cayman-Cayman Brac route

This is an exclusive route from the port of Georgetown to Cayman Brac, the second largest island in the Cayman Islands. Although there are not many inhabitants on the Cayman Brac www.biquge.info, it is an important fulcrum of the Cayman Islands, and this route is used to transport and exchange important daily necessities and strategic goods.

The transport ship departing from Grand Cayman is heading towards its destination at a slow pace. Around the white waves created by the turquoise water painted on the bow of the transport ship, several young girls can be seen changing in a certain formation and faintly protecting the transport ship.

For those who have served in the transport fleet under the control of the town guard for a long time, they are no strangers to these maidens. As the closest person to the ship girls among ordinary people, some rumors in the fang market are naturally unbreakable.

For example, what ship girls are legends that can fly to the sky, and for example, ship girls are actually special warriors transformed by humans. The middle-aged captain who had the honor of witnessing the scene of the ship's mother being summoned, and had carried out many transportation missions with the ship's mother, said that these were just rumors.

There weren't too many people on board. As a result of the modernization of ship systems, even if the electronics are not fully functional due to external radiation, the number of mechanical equipment that needs to be manually operated has been greatly reduced.

After looking around, the middle-aged captain found that there was no problem, and suddenly noticed a young man who was staring at several young girls in the distance in front of the railing on the side deck.

Just as this young man, who was not yet in the period of ignorance, was staring at the girls in the distance with all his attention, he suddenly felt a heavy blow behind him, and heard the ridicule of the middle-aged man:

"Don't look at the little guys, those guys aren't what we can think of."

"Uncle, you misunderstood! I was just afraid that there would be a deep sea here, so I came here to observe! The young man obviously wouldn't admit his thoughts just now, so sophistry.

The ship girls not only hold unimaginable power, but also have a special charm that is not like ordinary people. The illusory temperament is a plus for them who already have moving beauty.

"Hey, if you want to observe the deep ocean, you can't do it here. There are no large reconnaissance equipment on the ship, so who can observe the approach of the deep sea except them? The middle-aged captain unceremoniously exposed the boy's lies. The middle-aged man, who has been in the transport formation for more than fifteen years, still knows some basic common sense very well, and the teenager is still too young to deceive him with this level of lies.

The reason why this transportation needs to let the ship girls in the town guard house go out to escort is precisely because the ship itself does not have the ability to fight the deep sea, and because the ship is carrying very important materials, so these ship girls with amazing combat effectiveness have to come to escort.

Of course, to the surprise of the middle-aged people, the shipwrewn who came to escort today was unexpectedly much.

Is there anything special you'd like to send over this time? The middle-aged man speculated like this, but he couldn't know the truth because he didn't know enough information.

He had already seen two of the six girls escorting the convoy for a long time, and he remembered that they seemed to be two under the command of Admiral Trisk. But he had never seen the other four, and the admirals of the town guard had changed quite a bit during his career, but he didn't seem to have the impression of these people.

Just when the boy wanted to argue something, he heard the words of the middle-aged captain who came back to his senses:

"It's also normal for young people to think about something unrealistic. But if you don't want your Justin Bieber to break off, don't keep thinking about it. You can blend in with this transport formation, and in a few years you will be paid enough to buy a new home in Georgetown, and it will not be difficult to find a good girl by then. But you'd better wish you to survive these few years and not be eaten by the deep sea. The captain, who has the experience of being a person in the past, taught the boy so.

However, these words did not reach the ears of the girls who were far away, and even if they heard them, they would not seriously consider them.

As an important member of the fight against the deep sea, there are still too few who can survive until the retirement period or choose to retire, and then there is only one in ten thousand who are willing to become ordinary humans and then combine with new humans. How many of them can make such life choices when they spend most of their lives on missions or against the deep sea?

Under the gloomy sky, the manic and slightly damp sea breeze wiped it all away.

The girls in the formation can only rely on spiritual networks or miniature communications attached to their bodies to communicate with each other.

"Phoebe-senpai, how long will it take to get to Cayman Brac?" ,The girl who was assigned here for the first time for escort training,With long pale green hair and carrying a large number of ship uniforms,At a glance, you know that she is more of a battle-oriented ship girl.。

Looking at the seemingly unchanged sea view, the girl seemed to be bored and asked.

"The travel time for this one-way route was about four hours...... It's only halfway there. Another girl, who looked a little older and had slender blonde hair, responded to her question.

"It's been a long time...... And I didn't see the so-called deep-sea ......", Suzuya, who was quite bored, waved his main gun, seemingly dissatisfied with not being able to really make contact with the deep-sea.

Looking at the girl as if she had high expectations for the battle, Phoebe seemed to think back to Ashigara, who was also part of the First Fleet. She was so belligerent, perhaps because of the commonality that the two of them had in common?

The girl shook her head, as if she had forgotten all about her thoughts.

"But you really look a bit like a ...... of Ashigami," she said.

"Huh...... Ashigara was a heavy cruiser, and I can't compare to it in terms of firepower alone. Suzuya looked at his five triple guns, and a subtle dissatisfaction appeared on his face. Although she knew that she would still be able to choose to convert it into a five-seater, twin-mounted, larger-caliber gun in the future, she was forced to fight as a light cruiser due to the needs of the Aritus formation.

Of course, she also understands her admiral's approach very well. After all, Des Moines, who already has more firepower in the fleet, is still more suitable to be the commander of the patrol fleet or to complete some other mission.

So next time, be sure to ask the Admiral to have a week's worth of curry rice...... But the Georgetown Town Watchman doesn't seem to be coming?

As the girl struggled with food, Phoebe lowered her voice after a moment of silence:

"Actually, I'm very envious of Ashijo, so brave. I've overcome my initial discomfort and fear, but to be honest, I still don't want to touch them. The girl conveyed her thoughts to Suzuya's ears not far away.

A girl with blue hair and blue eyes, who was also standing not far away, quickly leaned over after hearing this sound, and asked aloud, "Phoebe senior?" Is the deep sea really that scary? ……”

"This ...... In fact, most of what we need to face is only a patrol fleet in the deep sea or even a lone loitering deep sea, and the threat is not so great. But...... I can easily deal with them now, but I still don't want to take the initiative to fight them. Phoebe was very frank and confided in her war-weariness, which made the fledgling girls a little puzzled.

For them at this time, through the teaching and learning of the academy, they certainly knew that their most important mission was to exterminate the deep sea and protect the high-level admirals, so it was very strange for Phoebe to show such a look.

"Maybe I'm an example. Ashigara likes to go out and fight in the deep sea...... But she may also have a reason ......", as if recalling the bad thing, the girl lowered her head, and no one could see the expression on her face.

The girls who noticed this scene did not continue to ask questions, but returned to their posts to carry out their tasks while thinking carefully about what she had just said.

The next two hours were very uneventful, with no sign of the deep sea on the channel, and no battle with the deep sea as Suzuya had expected. Phoebe seemed to be a little happy, but she didn't relax too much because she had some other tasks to do next.

"Tide? Let's take a few juniors to clear the mines. Phoebe, who used to be responsible for transporting escorts, said to a companion not far away.

The girl straightened her long dark blue hair a little, looked at the other three destroyer girls who followed this time, and shouted in a somewhat weak voice:

"Guys, please adjust the ship's equipment and release the minesweeper."

After hearing this command, Mogador, Betty, and Lan, who were originally escorting the outermost convoy, adjusted their course and began to converge towards the location where the tide was. Suzuya and Phoebe remained in their original position, just watching from afar as the destroyers left the sea where the ship was located and headed for the perimeter of the sea near Cayman Brac.

Clearing mines is also a task that destroyers often need to perform, and the same is true for laying mines. The mines arranged around the port of Cayman Brac were laid by the shipwives who had been cruising here before, and at this time, the four girls who had just changed from escort duty to cleaning mission were releasing minesweepers in a unified and orderly manner to clean the area around the port.

Again, this is needed to guard against a deep-sea raid on human ports.

It is true that the shipwives are an important force in guarding the port, but they also take on many other tasks, and it is impossible to devote all of their limited combat forces to the defense of the port. In the confrontation with the deep sea, the admirals gradually realized the correct way to use the combat effectiveness of light ships such as destroyers.

One of them is to arrange mines to defend important ports, and only need to place mines evenly around the port to effectively prevent the rash intrusion of the deep sea.

Of course, this is still a bit cumbersome, and when it is necessary to use the port normally, the channel needs to be cleared so that ships can pass through. However, this only needs to trouble the destroyers to use minesweepers to sweep them, and then use them to lay mines again to ensure the safety of the port.

A small port like Cayman Brac doesn't have more than two ships per day, so it's not a waste of time.

Looking at the comrades who lined up to put down the minesweepers and carry out minesweeping in the fixed area, Suzuya looked at them with boredom, but his eyes involuntarily turned to this island, which is mostly composed of rock walls.

Cayman Brac is a mountainous and rocky island, and although it is not a small area, it is not a habitable place for human beings, even with the blessing of marine agriculture and new age technology, human beings still have a certain demand for the living environment.

This is one of the most important locations in the Cayman Islands, and it is the only place in the Cayman Islands where a small to medium-sized gold deposit has been built and a hydrogen manufacturing plant has been built. Both Aujin and hydrogen are necessary for humans and shipwives, so a stocky bunker and a small port were built here to transport the resources to the Georgetown Castle in Grand Cayman.

Suzuya has nothing to do but do the task of passive defense, although she and Phoebe can also lay mines and sweep mines, but they still need to protect the ship, of course, they can't leave here.

Through the spiritual network with Mogador and the other two destroyers, Suzuya can also know more or less about the progress of their work.

For some reason, Suzuya began to guess what his admiral was doing.

Shouldn't it be as boring as your own side? The girl guessed this, but she didn't know that what she guessed was completely different from the situation of her own young admiral.
