The Mississippi's elusive attack did send all of Plymouth into a panic as Abu had hoped. After the Dutch, known as the "Coachmen of the Seas", were killed more than a century ago, no one could pose a threat to the Royal Navy at sea.

As for the painful memory of being blocked in front of the house and beaten, it has to be traced back to 1667 when the Dutchman De. Ruyter led his fleet to the Thames at high tide in the night, shelling and burning all the way until it reached the great shame of London.

With the passage of time and the habit of dominating the seas, the British must have been extremely shocked by the sudden attack off Plymouth Harbour.

When another cruiser belonging to the Royal Navy's home fleet entered the sea where the three destroyers had sunk in an attempt to rescue friendly troops, it was also attacked by torpedoes fired from nowhere, and finally it had to rush to the beach to avoid danger after suffering heavy damage, and the shock that swirled in the minds of the British turned into fear.

Unlike the 17th century, when the Dutch were engaged in a frenzied burning and plundering that went up the river, this kind of ambush from under the cold sea level of the Atlantic Ocean leaves you powerless to fight back, and you don't even know whether the perpetrator has left the scene of the attack, let alone fight back.

The British also tried to learn from their previous successful experience of "searching" submarines in Liverpool, and sent patrol planes to the area where their destroyer was attacked in Plymouth Bay, and after several searches, the pilots agreed that the perpetrator had left the area, and then another cruiser entered and was torpedoed again.

As an attack nuclear submarine conceived in response to the requirements of the new operational environment after the end of the Cold War, the Virginia-class is really not the master that those part-time anti-submarine aircraft can catch.

With the collapse of the Soviet Union and the sudden disappearance of the Cold War confrontation situation, the attack nuclear submarines of the Eagle Sauce Navy have lost their former formidable red opponents in the depths of the ocean, and they no longer need to effectively suppress and hunt the nuclear submarines from the red iron fist in the ocean like the Seawolf class to seize underwater sea supremacy, so their main mission of attacking nuclear submarines has also changed dramatically.

The hegemonic habit of interfering in regional affairs everywhere has made its navy tired of dealing with endless regional wars, so the main mission of its attack nuclear submarines has also changed from using submarine-launched missiles to attack land targets, supporting special operations forces and gathering intelligence, engaging in anti-submarine warfare in coastal areas, and serving as direct support for aircraft carrier combat formations.

The Virginia-class attack nuclear submarine was born out of the guidance of this operational ideology, and it can efficiently carry out the above-mentioned multiple tasks, and then realize the strategic deployment of the Eagle Sauce Navy of "moving from sea to land and deploying at the front."

Uh-huh, from sea to land, now you know where Abu's wild words about spreading panic got his confidence, as long as this rough embryo is willing, the terrible situation that the British will have to deal with next is definitely better than that of the past. Ruyt brought them even more tragedy.

"Sir, the British are starting to lay mines in their boats." A rough embryo reported to Abu on the new movements of the British Royal Navy.

A large screen display in the USS Mississippi control center showed clear images from the periscope of several small British torpedo boats busily carrying out minelaying operations.

I have to say that as an old naval power, the British Royal Navy still has some heritage. Even in the event of such an unheard-of attack, the officers quickly deployed after a brief period of confusion.

Plistmouth was one of the main bases of the Royal Navy, and it was only two hundred miles from London, so even if it was a desperate method of laying powerful mines in the waterways, the British had to keep the warships anchored in Plymouth Harbour before they had a better way to deal with the submarines.

Obviously, this mine is more than enough to deal with the ancient submarines that Eagle Sauce and French Chicken have just made up in this era, but since Eagle Sauce dares to use the Virginia class to play near and coastal areas in the 21st century, he is really not afraid of being troubled by low-end goods such as mines.

The Virginia-class is equipped with a new "long-term mine detection system" developed by Boeing, which includes two unmanned underwater vehicles (UUVs) with a length of 6m, a remote-controlled robot with a 18m long robotic arm for mine recovery/blasting, and related support equipment, which can be cast and recovered by torpedo tubes on the submarine.

"Well, the brain is quite lively, but it was born more than a hundred years ago, and the fear of being dominated by submarines is not something that can be easily escaped by throwing a few mines." Abu expressed disdain for the British to indiscriminately drop mines on the shipping lanes.

"Sir, do you need to launch an attack on the torpedo boats that are carrying out minelaying operations?" The fire controller asked Abu.

"No, when they're done, we'll go over and detonate a few, and then change the rest of the mines to lie down, and I'll see if the Brits are as happy as they were when they laid mines." Abu replied.

It is impossible to be happy, even if the distribution of these anchor mines is recorded, but these friends and foes can still be displaced by the change of tides. If it had not been for the fact that they could keep the warships anchored in the harbor before there was no better way to deal with the submarines, the British would not have resorted to this method of killing 1,000 enemies and losing 800 of them to persuade the enemy to retreat.

Kill a thousand? Are you sure? Sweeping away these ancient mines is a sprinkling of water for a Virginia-class attack nuclear submarine that can perform combat missions in complex hydrological and submarine conditions near the sea!

Well, of course, Abu's devil doesn't seem to be planning to let the Mississippi be a duty minesweeper for the British, and it's a really skinny idea to use the underwater remote-controlled robot that comes with the boat to change the ground for those anchor mines!

Rumble! Rumble! Rumble! The British had just withdrawn their torpedo boats, which had gone out to lay mines, when several huge columns of water rose from the sea.

"The enemy's submarine has hit a mine!" A British officer shouted happily.

The British then sent their ancient planes to patrol the sea area where the mines had detonated, but the British pilots who flew almost skimming the sea found nothing except some dead fish and shrimp.

For the next three days, the whole of Plymouth Bay became a dead port, and no ship dared to go out to sea or enter. The British had sent all the planes they could fly in, and even in the setting sun and with very low visibility, the residents of Plymouth could still see planes hovering in the nearby waters trying to search for submarines.

But apart from a few mines that were detonated on the day the mines were laid, no more mines exploded, and the planes flying in the sky did not gain anything during these three days.

"Their submarine may have sinked in a mine." An officer speculated optimistically.

"Maybe they were wounded and retreated, after all, our pilots didn't even notice any floating debris in the minefield that could belong to a submarine." Even the most conservative officers believed that the submarine had left Plymouth Bay.

So the British sent several torpedo boats around the minefield to test whether the enemy submarines had lifted the blockade of Plymouth Bay.

To the surprise of the British, there were as many as four torpedo boats that had been able to return safely from the previous mine-laying operations, and what was even more terrifying was that the sea area where they were attacked was far away!

Instead of withdrawing the submarines that had been carrying out the blockade mission in this area, the enemy has instead sent more underwater devils? In the face of this grim situation, even the best naval officers have to think about it!
