Chapter 1303: Is This the Way?

Myers, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said that the leak of the USS Carl Vinson's power furnace could have been caused by sabotage, which caused reporters to scream. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

Myers continued to answer reporters' questions: "As for the extent of the leak, there is only the most preliminary report at this time, that is, the nuclear fuel leaked out of the power compartment, and as for the details, the power furnace maintenance personnel on the aircraft carrier did not have the ability to detect it, so they were invited to evacuate the aircraft carrier." ā€

"Thankfully, as of now, there have been no signs of U.S. soldiers being injured or infected."

"As for the problem of nuclear fuel contaminating the ocean that you mentioned, the radioactivity of nuclear fuel itself is weak, and the leakage is not serious now, and at the time of evacuation, the soldiers closed the power compartment."

"As for polluting the ocean, we asked experts, if the amount of nuclear fuel is small, the pollution of the sea is extremely limited, and the area where we exercise is the open sea, which has little impact on people, and the radioactive energy spreads and decays quickly in the water, especially in the sea, it will be diluted, after all, the world's largest radioactive element mine is seawater!"

Many reporters complained in their hearts.

Do you treat us like idiot children, will soon dilute this kind of words and say it so easily, how the United States attacked people when the Russian nuclear submarine sank.

Another reporter asked: "We found that next to the aircraft carrier Carl Vinson, India's aircraft carrier "Vikramaditya" is also moored there. ā€

Yes, the US aircraft carrier has leaked nuclear, is it your Indian tail, you are a conventionally powered aircraft carrier.

When Defense Minister Rams heard this question, his expression relaxed a little and said: "Yes, India's aircraft carrier "Vikramaditya" is indeed parked next to the aircraft carrier "Carl Vinson". ā€

The specific reason was that after discovering the nuclear leak of the aircraft carrier Carl Vinson, he was in a hurry to evacuate, so he was left where he was, and all the personnel on the aircraft carrier were taken away by other warships. ā€

This answer made the reporter very puzzled, are the Indians stupid, why don't they run away in a boat.

The reporter hurriedly asked.

Rams said: "Because he was broken, on the first night we arrived in the Bay of Bengal, the Indian fleet reported to us that there was a major accident on their aircraft carrier that night, the boiler power room, the bridge command equipment, all kinds of machine parts were damaged, just like a 100-year-old man, there was no place intact, and he stopped in place at that time and could not move. ā€

The reporters listened to the Minister of Defense's words with wide eyes, how can they feel that what they heard today is not true, the "Carl Vinson" has leaked, the "Vikramaditya" has also broken down, and the two aircraft carriers of this exercise have all had accidents, which is unbelievable.

This is definitely the big news that the world is paying attention to.

"Excuse me, how was the "Vikramaditya" damaged? ā€

"You have to ask the Indian military, we don't know."

"Excuse me, will the American "Carl Vinson" be scrapped because of nuclear leakage? ā€

"It depends on the opinion of experts, if the leak has little impact on the aircraft carrier, and it can be used after repair, I don't think it needs to be scrapped. Of course, the "Carl Vinson" is the third Nimitz-class aircraft carrier to be launched, and it has been in service for 36 years, and now the Navy is renewing the Ford-class aircraft carrier, and perhaps it will be decommissioned by him. ā€

"May I ask what measures the United States will take in the affected sea area to prevent the expansion of pollution?"

"This requires the advice of environmental experts, but our experts have already said that even if the aircraft carrier nuclear fuel leaks, the impact on the sea will not be great."

After the United States held a press conference, the news of the nuclear leakage of the US aircraft carrier was quickly disseminated, and the world's major media reported it one after another, and soon everyone knew the news.

Unable to withstand the pressure, the Indian side also held a press conference to announce to the outside world the course of the exercise and the news that the "Vikramaditya" was completely paralyzed.

"We don't know what happened, overnight, it seems that all the parts of the aircraft carrier Vikramaditya were completely damaged, whether it was the boilers, the mechanical parts, even the entire electronic system, the weapon system, everything that could be broken was broken, and we could do nothing but stop him at sea," the Indian defense minister said. ā€

"But we have already sent a tugboat over, and as long as the United States does not have much problem detecting radiation in that area, we will tow the aircraft carrier back for repairs."

The reporter asked: "Hasn't the "Vikramaditya" just been repaired and only been launched for five years, and why are there so many breakdowns? ā€

"We don't know the specific reason yet, I just want to say that this was originally a Russian aircraft carrier, and Russia was also responsible for repairing it, and as for the specific reason, we will carefully study it after towing the "Vikramaditya" back." ā€

"Also, maybe we were attacked in some way, which led to total damage, and the maintenance department on our aircraft carrier told me that he found that many of those parts showed overwork, which is very suspicious, and the steam boiler is the most stable, and it is impossible for this situation to occur easily."

The reporter immediately heard the question from the Indian defense minister's words, and quickly asked: "What do you mean by being attacked in some way?" ā€

"Yes, some kind of attack, of course, that's just our guess. Our fleet arrived in the Bay of Bengal a day ahead of schedule, where the fleets of the United States and Japan awaited, and just the day before the exercises, our sonar systems detected the presence of something like a submarine at a depth of 1000 meters under the sea. He was about 100 meters long and appeared on our sonar system for about ten minutes, directly below the fleet. ā€

"While our submarines and warships were tracking him, he suddenly disappeared, yes, just disappeared suddenly, the kind that disappeared in the sonar system all at once. The next day, our aircraft carrier was damaged in a large area, so we suspect that our aircraft carrier was damaged by some unknown attack. ā€

The journalists' eyes widened as to whether they were listening to Hindu mythology or science fiction.

Now what weapons can cause damage to the hull parts?

For a time, the news of a major accident in the US-India-Japan exercise occupied the headlines of major media.

Some media dug up some details for reporting.

Among them, there are many versions, some say that alien spacecraft attack, some say that Russia pits India, and some say that the sea area is a mysterious area of latitude and longitude.

Despite the crazy reports from the outside world, the two aircraft carriers are still moored alone in the Bay of Bengal. (To be continued.) )
