The exercises have been noted in Mintar, although Mintar will not be sending any troops with our allies to these exercises.

Where, exactly, is this going to be conducting?

Where, exactly, is this going to be conducting?

In less than 48 hours, you will know exactly where it is taking place.

"Send signal to the Pauldustllah fleet and tell them to form into the starboard side of the fleet and proceed bearing to Allanea."

Using light signals, the Alexander signal the Pauldustllah fleet.

As the Domination class sub Mercury patrolled in stealt mode the waters around the 3rd fleet, they picked up something moving on the surface. Ships. A quick sonar scan revealed a couple of submarines also. Raising the radio mast, they sent a message to the Metal Glory II, the Supremacy class carrier in charge of the fleet.
The fleets shouldn't be here. They weren't allied to any of the nations taking part in the Allanean wargames. The 3rd fleet had taken upon itself the role of doorman to Allanean waters while the games proceeded, seeing as how it had nothing else to do but sit there.
Admiral Dave didn't like it. Fleets could come and go, but this was a relatively large grouping of warships. He ordered 5 Domination subs and 5 Supremacy subs to tail the fleet and ensure it didn't get up to any funny business.
Depending on how advanced the systems carried by the ships were, they may be able to detect the Supremacy subs through their stealth systems. But the Domination subs were the next generation. To detect them you'd need X-ray imaging or actually collide with them.

OOC: If you want details of the stealth systems I'll TM you.

OOC: TST, the wargames are over. :D

Far away, in Angagor, the 10 Hell Class carriers turn back into Allanea...

In the Haven straights
2 Yekaterinburg-class Supercarriers start moving into the general directions of the ships.

<<TAG>>

"Sir incoming message from the Phyrric fleet." a young seaman said to the commader of the fleet
"what do they request?' the commader asked
"sir they as us to form into the starboard side of the fleet and proceed bearing to Allanea."
"very well." the commander replied "set a course for Allanea." the bridge went to life as the sailors eased the ships into position and began moving.
" launch some planes to give us some air cover & submarine detection." the Flag commander ordered

"Sir, the Pauldustllah forces are in position as requested"

"Great, full steam ahead to Allanea. There have been terrorists attacks on Edolia and it is clear that negotiations are thinning for peace."

"We have enemy forces in the area sir."

"Paint them, let them know that they are being targeted and maintain a lock for surface to surface missiles. If they try anything, kill them. Get choppers in the air and inform Epirus I that we need satellite imaging of the area. With this amount of ships in the water and tensions this high, there must be subs in the area."

"This is going to really test the loyalties of The Silver Turtle and if they are willing to sacrifice for this nation."

"That does not concern us. We kill the men, God sorts the souls, the diplomats sort the particulars, and the historians discuss the issues."

OOC: TST, I will need those specs. That is a tiny bit far fetched to be realistic. IMO.

At the same time he was contacting the Edolian's about the terrorist attack Command Admiral Lassander Ilek also hails the Phyrric Fleet and the Pauldustllah fleet

"Let us know if you gentlemen require support, we're already deployed and the Supreme Republican Commander has already cleared us to 'deal' with Allanean and Allanean allid forces if they start anything. I'm requesting Tollan Fire Control to use our satellites to perform a penetrating sweep of the waters (the same thermographic radar technology that found buried mayan temples in Honduras, it actaully works great for penetrating water at great depths and finding subs that can't be touched by sonar!) we'll have any targets lit up in couple of hours that our sonar are missing. Stay in touch."

Back at Tollan Fire Control the Supreme Republican Commander ordered his forces that have been standing by to prepare to depart for Gobbergunchia and additional Naval Guard Units are preparing to deploy. Just in case.................

To: CINC Combined Force (Phyrric/Pauldustllah)

From: CNDRPANAVFR

Gentlemen,

Due to the recent terrorist events in and around the county of Edolian The RPA has surged "certain" forces to forward staging areas for possible action. My government has given me the task of contacting you to notify all parties that the RPA is ready to assist you in ANY future operations. Advise CINCWST.

W.H. Holder
CNDRPANAVFR

The Supreme Republican Commander read the secure communication in front of him, he contacted Command Admiral Ilek aboard the Sir William Issem "Proceed these co-ordinates, keep all of your ships on high alert, prepare to scramble your fighters. My life for the Republic."

Admiral Ilek received the message, at the same time he began to receive the thermographic mapping of the seas in Haven and around Allanea. The even,regulated temperatures of the enemy submarines made them stand out like a sore thumb

"Make sure these images are forwarded to the Allied Fleets, tage every identified target and every possible target, prepare all ships to move, my life for the Republic!"

The three Battlegroups and two Carrier Groups got immediately under way, fighters were immediately launched to secure the skies around the fleets.

OOC: Battle groups consist of 2 Revenge Class Battleships, 6 Cruisers 12 Frigates, 15 Destroyers, 12 Trident nuclear subs, 10 Wolfhound stealth submarines

Carrier groups consist of 1 Tollan Class carrier, 6 Cruisers, 6 Frigates, 12 Destroyers, 12 wolfhound subs , 250 Orion Stealth Fighters.

OOC: That's alot of fights for a single carrier to carry. Must like being a huge target.

EDIT-

IC:

"My Emperor, it appears the Edolian-Allanean crisis is heating up. Some shady attack on Edolia, fleets massing near Allanea, and troops massing on the Allanean-Edolian border are underway. I suggest we deploy our own troops-that we promised-to Allanea to prepare for the worst."

"Very well, Commander Slotsky. Ready transports to Allanea, deploy the High Seas Fleet and prepare for the worst. Absolutely no hostile threat, missle lock, etc. shall be tolerated. Open fire on anything that issues such a threat."

"But wouldnt such a thing ignite this into war?"

"If they were dumb enough to lock onto us in Allanean waters...."

"I see, my Lord. I will dispatch the fleet and the troops immediatly."

"Good. Get the Foriegn Minister to get a speach out. Can't do anything without speaches these days."

"Yes, my Lord"

------------------------

"The Empire, in order to defend our ally Allanea in possible war with Edolia, will deploy a number of troops to Allanea. The High Seas Fleet will be sent to Allanean waters, and any threat by an anti-Allanean (OOC:anyone not on Allanea's side who sent ships out etc.) vessel/fleet will result in attacks on that vessel/fleet. We will take no threat in allied waters by enemy nations."

-Foriegn Minister James Ulrich

OOC:yup, it's the same size as the new Carriers being built by Great Britain, with the range of it's fighters, it doesen't need to be within 800 miles of the actaul theatre of operations. It's simply a mobile platform for the Orion fighters. Also the fact that all of the Orion's are VTOL means they can be packed much closer together.

The above post has been corrected, it was supposed to be 250 (as in the Edolian terrorist post! my bad!)

OOC: Allanea, I know. But my forces have a habit of hanging around, especially if there's a slight chance they'll see action. The 3rd fleet's sitting just outside your waters and it'll stay there until it's ordered to leave, or it gets hungry...But since the games are over then the 4th should probably leave your waters...
Fleet Stats, in case you're interested:
3rd Navy:
25 Supremacy Class Stealth submarines
15 Domination class submarines
10 Slag class nuclear submarines (only 2 present at this time)
3 Hell class carriers
Each with
100 Wasp class fighters
30 Aurora class fighter-bombers
20 B-52 bombers
5 B2 bombers
5 Antarctica pocket carriers
Each with
10 Wasp Class fighters
5 Aurora class fighter bombers
20 Shark class attack boats
7 Type 92 destroyers
10 Poseidon class trimaran frigates
5 Dominion class cruisers

The 4th navy is the same.
IC:
Aboard the Metal Glory II
"Admiral, it would appear the ships have established a lock on us. They're launching helicopters, probably to look for any subs of ours."
"It's doubtful they'll find them. However, have two of the Supremacy subs launch a warning round, off the bow of the lead ships. I don't want them to hit anything, but let them know we've got our insurance policies. Also, begin standard air patrols with the Wasps. No agressive manouveres, but if they violate what counts as our personal space, take them out. Put missile defences on high alert. I want ten Supremacy subs to lock on to the enemy carriers with anti-ship missiles. If they fire I want their main ships taken out. And I want another ten Supremacy subs tracking down their submarines, ready to strike if anything happens. Have the frigates and attack boats help with that."
"Yes sir. But should we really be involved in this sir? We have no official ties, nothing would happen if we just left, other than that we'd live."
The Admiral looked at him for a moment, and then said, "Yes, we'd live to fight another day. But then we will still be fighting. We fight when we are ordered to. We do not question why. Our job is not to question, ours is to obey orders. We are told to go somewhere, we go. We are told to fight, we fight. We need no reason. We have one; we are soldiers. it is our job to follow the orders we are given and to fight when we are told. No other reason is needed. Our opinions do not matter. If they did, we wouldn't be in the armed forces. Do you understand?"
"Yes, sir."

OOC Edit: Thermographic imaging will show up the Supremacy subs, but not the Domination submarines

Seahawks are in the air dropping sonar bouys, electronic measures, and targeting chaffs into the water in and around the fleet.

"Get everything on target, this may explode and if it does, then we will make this ocean glow for a thousand years."

"We have sub activity here and here....the subs that I-V has found are here and here. We do have a solid lock and we should be able to maintain tracking. The surface ships are making evasive maneuvers and we have another group of ships that satellites have picked up. It appears we have a party going on."

"And what groups do these ships belong to?'

"Fluffywuffy."

"Fluffywuffy eh? So this is how they honor deeds of war? We assited them against Johnistan, Dark Terror, Unum Veritas and Artista years ago and now they want war with us. If war does start, make sure they are the very first to die. Inform the fleet to start programming firing sequences and trajectories of of missiles. If this thing does blow up, we need to limit friendly fire casualties as much as possible. Inform the fleet that we are in position for Operation Freedom and stand by for further orders."
*****

On the Titan, SSBN fleet deployed a few days ago.

"There is radio traffic on the surface sir, we have heavy activity around Allanea."

"That is expected, maintain radio silence and running until the predetermined time has arrived."

There seemed to be alot of Hostile fleet action around Allanea, therefor we will be sending 6 Medjved Mk II Battleships and 8 TAMD Mk II's to accompany the previous fleet.

"National Command Authority has given orders to 3 CBG and 2 BBG to proceed to and link with coalition forces gathering in/near Allanea. Forces are to establish local CAP and link with on-scene Command for call signs and freq's. Weapons YELLOW-TIGHT"


1 CBG= 2 Nimitz class Carriers, 6 Guided Missile Cruisers (Aegis), 8 Destroyers, 12 Frigates, 8 Aux, 10 SSN (Seawolf Class)

1 BBG= 1 Battleship (Iowa Class) 4 Guided Missile Cruisers(Aegis), 6 Destroyers
8 Frigates, 1 SSBN (Ohio), 2 SSN (LA Class), 2 Aux

Carrier Air Wings consist of
28 F-14D
3 E-2 Hawkeye
26 F/A-35 JSF(Navy)
20 F/A-18 (Marine)
8 A-6 (refuelers)
12 SH-60 (ASW SAR)
8 E/A-6B (Electronic Warfare)

OOC: damn those Domination subs to hell I say!

ooc: So how many hostile fleets are there against Allenea? I have a simple algebrac solution:
Let H represent H fleets
Let M represent number of battleships in Artitsan fleet.
M = H.
;) yes Im implying each battleship can take on an entire fleet.

Emerald Palace "SHADOW 24 YOU ARE GREEN, I SAY AGAIN GREEN"

Shadow24 "ROGER, SHADOW 24 COPIES, STARTING RUN BLUE 1.
SHADOW 24 WILL ADVISE CLEAR, OUT ROUTE RED 5"

OOC Allanea please advise. This is an SR-71 pass over your country, i.e. possible detection/counter measures etc...

so...we are running future tech?

ooc: No... im Modern tech.

To: CMNDR MEF

From: CINC NAVAL FORCES RPA

Commander,

The 5th and 24th MEF's are here by ordered to embark immediately and proceed under Navy escort to link with Task Force 24 for possible Force Protection and/or offensive combat actions. Advise command when set for further.

TST, I would like the specs as well. Phyrric is right, it is a bit far fetched.

"here are the locations of the Unfriendly subs in the area. Thanks to our friends in Ilek-Vaad we have acurate information of non-Allied submarines in the ares." a young senir lietunat said while givign a breifing to the fleet commander
"i see, what aobut Non-friendly surface& air forces in the area?" thee commander asked
"well sir i can show you." he changes the slde that shows the subs to anothe slide that shows surface forces
"as you can see sir we have stired the hornets nest." the lietunat said
"good."

bump

OOC: For the record, my stuff's future tech.
IC:
Admiral Dave didn't like it. Enemy forces were piling up in the area, and their movements suggested they knew about some of the subs.
"Call Colonel O'Neill. Tell him there may be some satellites we need him to take care of."
"Sir, he's currently at Nova base shipyards, in the asteroid belt. Central Station says the closest they can give us is a fighter wing."
"That'll do. Have them move to orbit over this are and begin a sweep."
"Yes sir."
"If they do find anything, tell them not to attack. Just target, and charge EMP, to be fired if the order is given. And I want the fleets to assume a defensive formation at the border to Allanean waters."
"Noted, sir."

"Inform the joint chiefs that we are in formation and standing by."

"Aye sir, transmitting now. We have a green light on uplinks."

"Very well, I want around the clock aircover for the fleet. Inform the bubbleheads to proceed with the cat and mouse game with enemy subs. If any subs comes within 20 nautical miles of any Phyrric warship, sink it immediately. Send a message to Silver Turtle and Allanea making this perfectly clear. We are in International waters and any act will be construed as a hostile act against the Nation of Phyrric."

"Aye sir" as the radioman is transmitting the orders.

"Inform Pauldustllah, Ilek-Vaad, and Pissed off Americans admirals that I would like secured communications from this point on, only send admin messages over the public airwaves."

Admiral Ilek responded over encrypted channels to the Phyrric Command " Deploying as ordered. My life for the Republic."

The Naval Gaurd forces are also being joined by the 2 Battlegroups that escorted the troop transports to Axackal, bring the number up to 4 Battle Groups and 2 Carrier groups. The Carriers set themselves well away from the main operations area and settle comfortably behind their submarine and destroyer screen. The Cruisers for the Carrier groups arrayed themslevs slightly ahead of the Destroyer screen and deploy their Spear anti missle systems and limbered their Comet/M3 mach capable AA batteries.

The Battlegroups array themselves for the exercises, the massive Revenge Battleships take on additional ballast to stabilise the ships for firing the massive main guns. The submarines began carrying out intensive anti sub sweeps around the fleets with the aid of satellites , sonar and sound detection.

Onboard the Alexander:

"Incomming transmission sir"

"Read it"

"We are to set course for immediate action to the South Pacific and Antarctic region. Further orders relayed on secure link"

"Set course quartermaster bearing 180"

"Aye sir"

All Phyrric forces are leaving the area around Allanea.

There seemed to be alot of Hostile fleet action around Allanea, therefor we will be sending 6 Medjved Mk II Battleships and 8 TAMD Mk II's to accompany the previous fleet.


Thank you.
