14-04-2004, 01:23
The KNS (Koiian Navy Ship) Shadow class came out of its hanger gracefully and almost silently. The KNS-Soyuk is the pride of the Koiian sub navy. Its devolpment time is seconded only to the Semi stealth Carrier (KNS-Shadow class Pride of Koiian) When the Soyuk sank below the waves a low rumble could be heard for a minute then it faded. It was the main nuclear engine starting up.
Soon the Soyuk was ready for its first practice run. It sped twords its target priming the first and second torpedo bays. Aproximatly 2000 yards away it fired the first torpedo which hit the first target resulting in a small explosion above the water but a huge one below. The second missile was aimed for a fake carrier that had been made for the occasion. It fired its second torpedo while at the same time arming the third and smaller torpedo bay located at its rear. The second missile hit with a satasfying boom. When they passed under the carrier the third torpedo bay was ready to be fired. After another 5 seconds the captain gave the que for it to be fired. The sub fired its third torpedo at the "carrier" and missed. Within a second the torpedo flipped over and came flying straight for the "carrier" on the already damaged side. The carrier started sinking and the command tower said "Good job". The gunner laughed to himself as he thought about how easy it was to sink a carrier.
