The aircraft carrier strike group, the aircraft carrier battle group, and its core air defense circle are extremely sensitive, just like a human weakness. If this range is invaded, it means that as the strike group, the aircraft carrier, which is absolutely the main force of the combat group, faces a huge threat.

During the Cold War, the core air defense circle of the US Navy's aircraft carrier combat group was repeatedly penetrated by Soviet Red Navy fighter jets, and even flew away at low altitudes. If it was during war, it meant that the aircraft carrier had been hit by a missile.

After the collapse of the Soviet Union, the US Navy lost its only opponent. Over time, it felt deeply that the pressure of maintaining the huge aircraft carrier battle group was extremely high in years of combat readiness. They came up with a smaller, more flexible and lower-cost composition method based on their own threats. This is the origin of the aircraft carrier strike group.

Compared with an aircraft carrier battle group composed of twelve or twenty ships, with one aircraft carrier or amphibious assault ship as the core, two to three destroyers and one supply ship as auxiliary, the operating cost is much lower, it can meet the needs, and it has sufficient deterrence.

When necessary, two aircraft carrier strike groups can form a standard dual aircraft carrier combat group, and their combat capabilities will increase sharply.

The Anglesson Pirates' Discomfort Strike Group completely mimics the U.S. Navy's aircraft carrier strike group, which they believe that the power of a single strike group is enough to deal with any threat.

After all, there are very few countries that have and are capable of using dozens of carrier-based fighters in the long sea. Naval fighters in most countries cannot fly far away from the shore-based airport.

However, when the Anglesus Pirates determined their global robbery maritime armed forces, they discovered that a new naval force had entered a stage of explosive growth, launching hundreds of thousands of tons of warships for several consecutive years, and have already served two aircraft carriers!

In fact, it is difficult to face an anti-pirate formation with an aircraft carrier or amphibious assault ship as the core.

However, at this time, Major General Swinney, the commander of the Unwell Strike Group, did not attract enough attention because of his colleagues. He ordered the Unwell Strike Group to move forward at full speed, which led to a problem - the Unwell aircraft carrier, the Poker-class destroyer can run 30 knots, and the supply-class rapid combat support ship and the Anzac-New Zealand Army Corps-class frigate could not keep up.

In this way, as time went by, the Unwell attack group gradually became divided into two parts. The Unwell and three poker-class destroyers ran in front, and the ANZF and the Supply-class rapid combat support ships landed behind, with the larger the distance, the larger the distance.

Anzac-New Zealand Frigates cannot run 27 knots because they have to escort the supply-class fast combat support ship.

The maximum speed of the Supply-class rapid combat support ship is 25 knots. In order to save fuel, it rarely sails at the highest speed. At this time, the Unsatisfied and the Three Poker Classes are still sufficient in terms of ammunition, dry goods and fuel. The captain of the Supply-class rapid combat support ship decided to sail at an economic speed of 16 knots.

Two ANZFL-class frigates can only guard them at the same speed.

The aircraft carrier of the Unwell received a call from an unknown advanced submarine. The captain of the ship Shelfide had hemorrhoids, and the pain was unbearable and needed timely treatment. There was no corresponding medicine on the boat. The Unwell asked the Unwell to send a rescue helicopter to the Unwell for treatment.

Major General Swinney had met several times with Colonel Shelffield. Without saying a word, he immediately sent a rescue helicopter to transport Shelffield to the Discomfort.

After emergency treatment from the medical officer, Shelfid's hemorrhoid disease was well controlled. Finally, the medical officer asked Shelfid, "Sir, do you like to eat spicy foods? For example, Lao Ganma from China?"

Shelfid nodded without changing his face.

"If this happens, you have to control it in the future. You should not underestimate your hemorrhoid disease." The medical officer blinked and recorded it truthfully on the medical record.

In fact, the medical officer has already seen that Colonel Shelfid's hemorrhoids do not like to eat spicy foods.

Shelfide didn't care. His sexual orientation was an open secret. He had as many as three boyfriends on the submarine. Every time he went to sea, he was rotated by these three people to accompany him. Therefore, he often didn't feel that underwater life was boring.

With his butt hurt, Shelfide simply came to the TFCC Tactical Flagship Command Center on Deck 03.

The commander of the strike group was not the captain of the USS Unsmo, but Major General Swinney and his staff team, saying that the CSG aircraft carrier strike group command organization usually has more than 70 people.

This aircraft carrier formation command team does not usually host ships, and temporarily set up aboard to exercise command power during deployment.

Their command position is the TFCC Tactical Flagship Command Center on the deck of the aircraft carrier 03, where they command a series of combat operations of ships, aircraft and submarines in the entire formation.

In other words, the command of the aircraft carrier strike group is here, and the highest commander of the formation is Major General Swinney, not Colonel Brad, the captain of the aircraft carrier USS Unwell.

When Shelffield passed the deck corridor, he found that the Discomfort and the Three Poker Classes were sailing at high speed in tactical columns. The Discomfort was in front and the Three Poker Classes followed behind. This is a less common formation method.

Because nuclear-powered aircraft carriers do not have fuel replenishment problems, they can not consider long-term high-speed navigation in fuel, while poker-classes that use conventional power are not the case. Therefore, they follow the aircraft carriers of the Unwell and use the water currents formed by the high-speed navigation of Unwell to sail to the Unwell to save some fuel.

Such a formation means that the commander does not consider whether he will encounter interception or attack on the way, and is determined to run towards the target sea.

Shelfidd immediately frowned.

Coming to the TFCC Tactical Flagship Command Center, Major General Swinney came over to shake hands with Shelffield, "John, how do you feel? Are you okay?"

Swinney knew Shelffield's sexual orientation, but this did not affect his admiration for Shelffield. Among the Anglesus Pirates submarines, Shelffield was famous. As the captain of only three advanced nuclear submarines, Shelffield was the commander who fought the most against the Soviet Red Navy submarine forces during the Cold War.

"No big problem." Shelfid nodded and said, "Johnny, I must tell you the truth. I encountered a powerful attack in the waters of Doran Island in the Arasu Sea. It was a frigate with a lot of anti-pirate combat. You let the formation sail at full speed and the aircraft carrier is at the front, and it is easy to be plotted against them."

Swini laughed, "It's just an old frigate produced twenty years ago. Yes, I understand everything."

It means some gloating.

The world's most advanced nuclear-powered submarine has a submarine displacement of up to 12,000 tons. It was defeated by an old frigate with combat performance of more than 3,000 tons, which is only equivalent to the old frigate built by the US Navy in the 1960s. This face was thrown from the Pacific Ocean to the Atlantic Ocean.

Shelfid said, "Don't forget that before that, we had a submarine and cruiser driven out by the old frigate. And there was a new youth frigate and a very powerful conventional submarine."

"A very powerful conventional submarine?" Swinney was naturally not an incompetent person. When he heard this, he attracted attention.

What are the most feared by aircraft carriers? The most feared by elusive submarines.

Compared with the huge aircraft carrier combat group, aircraft carrier strike groups are often not equipped with escort submarines, which means that they have lost anti-submarine means of using dark to dark.

Even if all fighter jets in several neighboring countries launch saturation attacks on the aircraft carrier USS Discomfort, Swinney is confident that he has enough means of response.

The aircraft carrier of the Discomfort was deployed at full load. There were 48 Super Hornets that could be used for air defense operations. In addition, nearly 300 vertical air defense missiles on the three poker-classes, the air defense capabilities were very strong.

However, if it is an elusive submarine, it will be a headache.

The most important thing is that Swinney knew that Shelffield was a very high-profile person. Since he said there was a "very powerful conventional submarine" there, it means it was really amazing.

Shelfide is a surreal person. He doesn't care about face, but only about interests. He will not raise his opponents in order not to be ashamed of shame, so that his failure is not so eye-catching.

He said solemnly, "I encountered that conventional submarine by chance. At a very close distance, this shows that it has good silent performance. Then he entered a silent confrontation for seven or eight hours, which shows that its commander is a very calm person. I feel that his ability is not inferior to me. Secondly, in the end, he chose to float up and actively expose him. When I locked him with an attack sonar, I found out that I had fallen into the trap."

"He deliberately exposed his position to lure you to use attack sonar, which allowed the frigate on the surface to take the lead." Swini immediately understood.

Shelfid nodded and said, "Yes, I realized that I was trapped when I knew that the old frigate had fired an anti-submarine deep bomb before me. At the last moment, I counterattacked and fired a heavy torpedo, and something even more strange happened."

These specific details are unknown to Swinney.

Shelfide frowned and was puzzled, "The torpedo launched at a distance of three nautical miles was impossible for the old frigate to escape the attack of the MK-48 torpedo. However, the fact is cruel. They actually knocked out the MK-48 torpedo, hundreds of meters away."

"What? They knocked out the MK-48 heavy torpedo you launched? This is impossible." Swinney didn't believe it at all.

Shelfiden pointed, "It's true, this is why I evacuated the Alasu Sea - that old frigate has some very advanced anti-submarine means that can strike small underwater high-speed targets."

Swini knew what this meant.

Anti-submarine has always been a bottleneck in naval operations in various countries. During the Cold War, in order to fight against the huge submarine force of the Soviet Red Navy, the US Navy spared no expense to support Japan to build the world's first naval force with anti-submarine combat as the main force, and the world's largest anti-submarine combat capability.

"John, I believe in you, but I received the order to reach the Alasu waters in the shortest time." Swinney said in a deep voice.

Shelfid was silent.
