USS Enterprise.

On the deck of the USS Enterprise, pilots with night take-off and landing capabilities are driving fighter planes to catapult off from the aircraft carrier, and landing is the biggest challenge for them.

From the bridge, everything below could be clearly seen, and at this time, General Morris, who was in charge of directing the exercise, was holding the report from the Kitty Hawk in his hand, and he was simply crying and laughing.

The squadron leader of the 111th Fighter Squadron, Major Nathan, suggested that carrying specially made bombs, carry out a mock attack on Soviet ships and successfully repel them.

The weight of this report is too heavy, this Nathan, he didn't have enough fun with the Soviets in the skies over Vietnam? And now you want to take the US Navy to the brink?

In the skies over Vietnam, there were powerful Vietnamese fighters, in fact, some of those MiGs were Soviets, and these were tacitly understood by the United States and the Soviet Union.

It used to be a war, but now it's just a drill, and if anything goes wrong, such as your own Tomcat being shot down by an opposing warship, it will have terrible consequences.

It can be said that the two sides are competing on the ocean, even if the hull of the ship collides, it can be explained as an accident, but if weapons are used, the nature is different.

The commander of an aircraft carrier must understand not only military affairs, but also politics, and senior officials of the Navy are even more so.

So, Morris approved the word opposition on the paper, which is absolutely impossible to pass.

Tomorrow, the warships of the Soviets will come over to make trouble, and it is destined to be another open and secret battle! Morris thought to himself, listening to the roar of the jets outside, and another fighter plane took off.

It was a calm night, and in the second half of the night, the night training ended, and in the distance, two Soviet warships, sailing forward at a speed of 25 knots, against the wind and waves.

When the night gradually subsided, a round of red sun appeared on the eastern sea, only to see it first hidden under the sea level in the distance, and slowly rising, illuminating the entire sea surface with the fiery red morning glow, becoming a blood red.

Due to the curvature of the Earth, the target aircraft carrier battle group is not yet visible, but a reconnaissance satellite will pass overhead in half an hour, indicating a clear orientation to the Soviet warship.

In fact, even if the reconnaissance satellites are very advanced and distinguish the sea surface clearly, it is difficult to find out the aircraft carrier formation on the sea surface, which is similar to looking for a needle in a haystack, but the Americans will not be turtles with shrunken heads, they have already demarcated the exercise sea area, they will definitely stay there, and if they sneak away because the Soviet warship is coming, it will definitely make the Soviet Navy laugh.

The sun slowly rose, the sun shone all over the sea, bathed in golden sunlight, and Kucherov was in a rather good mood.

"Report to the captain, there is a call from the Vladivostok base, and the reconnaissance satellite has confirmed that the US fleet is still in the target sea area."

After receiving this report, Kucherov was even more pleased: "Call back to Vladivostok, we will break into the US aircraft carrier battle group at noon, and we will conduct exercises with the US aircraft carrier group." ”

The old Maozi of this era is arrogant.

The Kenda-class missile cruiser uses a power system composed of four KVN-95/64 steam turbines and two TV-12 steam turbines, with a total power of 90,000 horsepower, driving a warship of several thousand tons, and is designed to reach a speed of up to 35 knots per hour.

However, more than ten years have passed since it was commissioned in the 60s, and the warship has also suffered some internal injuries due to repeated brutal operations, and now, even with full force, it can only run at a speed of 25 knots.

There is no need to go into the dock for repairs, and new warships will soon be built to replace them.

Thinking of this, Kucherov looked at the Kashin-class destroyer not far away, which is the latest in service, with all-gas turbine propulsion, and the sound is particularly good, with fast start-up and fast acceleration. If it hadn't been for the Admiral Fokin, it would have arrived a long time ago.

"Reportedly, the radar found two flying targets. The height is ten thousand, and the speed is nine hundred. ”

Two flying targets, that must be the carrier-based aircraft that the Americans' aircraft carrier formation took off, forming a protective ring outside the aircraft carrier, and now it is not a state of war, this is international waters, what are you afraid of?

"The wave ship-to-air missile system is activated, and if it dares to carry out a simulated attack on us, lock it on." Kucherov said.

As a missile cruiser, the Kenda class is still very well equipped, and in terms of air defense, it uses a set of ZIF-101 Twin-mounted Launcher M-1 "Wave" ship-to-air missile system, which is equipped with a total of 16 V-600 and NATO code SA-N-1 "Gazelle" ship-to-air missiles. The prototype of this "wave" missile is the land-based SA-3, which is 6.7 meters long, 0.7 meters in diameter, 1.5 meters in wingspan, and has a range of 31.5 kilometers.

That is to say, if the other party dares to come up and provoke, twenty kilometers away, you can kill the other party, and at the same time, because it is not a real battlefield after all, even if the other party is provocative, it must be to do a trick such as flying over your head, at this time, you can use your own radar lock to tell it, do you want to roll out? If you don't roll, you fire!

"Understood." The soldier operating the missile in front replied loudly, activated the missile system, and the twin launchers began to rotate, ready to attack the target.

The radar antenna on the top is also releasing electromagnetic waves, ready to lock on to each other at any time.

Fortunately, the other party didn't make any moves, drew a graceful arc from high in the air, and flew away.

Kucherov's face was beaming, he took the intercom, reminded the Kasin-class destroyers accompanying him of the threat overhead, and then, moving on!

At the same time, the US aircraft carrier group has also received a report from patrol fighters that on the sea, two targets are approaching their own side, and they are expected to enter visual contact in two hours!

"If only we had battleships." General Morris suddenly came up with a sentence that after the end of World War II, the battleships were all mothballed, the era of naval guns had passed, and aircraft and missiles had replaced the huge caliber naval guns.

However, in this kind of confrontation at sea, the battleship should be better, if you have a battleship on your side, turn the turret over, aim the muzzle at the opponent, and see if the opponent dares to come!

If you dare, ram it with a battleship! It will definitely be able to sink the other party directly, and then the two sides will fight through diplomacy, and in the end, it will be over, how energetic!

It's a pity.

Even General Morris was a little helpless: "Pay attention, pay attention to the formation, keep the formation." ”
