OOC: Once again, the role of the resistance force is still open.

IC:
With the mission in Gabon a complete success, the Tango Assault Fleet headed towards their next target. The new destination was Nigeria. The plan was, now that they had Gabon and Togo, they would take everything in between.

They would be to the coast in less then an hour.

Tango Assault Fleet

Location: Atlantic Ocean
Status: Deployed in Nigeria conflict.

1- Kitty Hawk Aircraft carrier
1- Nimitz Aircraft carrier
6- California class cruisers
4- DDG-993 KIDD class destroyers
1- AOE Sacramento Fast Combat Support Ship
5- Seawolf Class Submarine
2- AFS Mars Combat Stores Ship
2- Supply Class Supply Ships
3- LHD Wasp class AAS
1- AS Emory Land Submarine tender
5- Godzilla Arsenal Ships

The ACs are carrying:

5- F-14 Tomcats
20- F18 Hornets
30- F-18E Super Hornets
10- A10 Thunderbolt IIs
10- Apache Helicopters
8- Grey Dragon Gunships
5- Comanche Helicopters
5- F-117A Nighthawk
3- S3B Viking
2- SH-60 LAMPS Seahawk

The Nigerian Navy saw the forces coming off of the coast....they signaled the Army, they got ready to react.

Meanwhile, Jake Featherston IV of Virginia simply shook his head and went, "Bastards..."

He then sent a letter to the Moroniyckan Government:

"Stay the Hell away from Nigeria. We claimed it first, we'll tussle you for it if need be....."

OOC: I think I claimed Nigeria in the Cape Town conference.

OOC: Well, IC that conference has been going on for about 12 hours so I doubt you could take it that fast. Also, DA hasn't acknowledged the conference claims yet (He didn't put them on the claims list)

But, I guess for the sake of a good RP I'll let it go and wrestle for it (It gets mighty boring RPing against yourself)

Can you give me a rundown of what forces you have in Nigeria? Do you have a factbook?

IC post is coming soon...

You will evacuate all of your forces from Nigeria or you will be destroyed. You should know better then to challenge a nation more then twice your size.

This is your first and final warning.

~King Jedo~

The Tango' fleet heard that the Real ALM now controlled Nigeria, this would be a bit more difficult then they thought. They new they shouldn't be to much trouble but they did have the advantage of being on the defensive.

Rear Admiral Waysname contacted the Sierra Assault Fleet and order then to give support.

OOC: Well, I am a terrorist faction at heart....ope this works, if not, will be edited.

IC:

Kimiko Ayasugi didn't like interlopers. She especially didn't like interlopers that brought superior force. This was not good....

She had already sent men and materiel, agents of the Tokko, and shipments of arms, mostly US-made (save for a large consignment of Galil's and MAC-10's), through Port Harcourt to the interior of Nigeria. There, she had been arming and fomenting a revolt among the Ibo peoples of the East and the Moslems of the North, merging them into the Nigerian Animated Action Organization.

The movement was still in its infancy, and now, it would have to grow up, fast. Kimiko ordered the Tokko agents in the field to go into action, which they did.

They began issuing speeches, and inciting the peoples of the north and east to action. They didn't find it hard to agree, since the Moroniyckans, after all, were coming (nobody wanted to be put under anybody's thumb again), and those peoples were naturally suspicious of the government (it had abused them both in the past, they didn't trust it).

The result was that the NAAO grew quickly, controlling enclaves in the east and in the north, and as much as 20,000-150,000 nationally subscribed to the NAAO. Before long, government officials were almost willing to intervene in order to stop the NAAO from raiding Army bases and geting converts, but it was too busy prepping for the coming invasion.

Besides, what could a bunch of Ibo do? They had crushed them in '68. They could do it again....of course they would be wrong this time.

They would probably never get the chance......

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

SECRET IC:

Meanwhile, to hedge their bets, the RALM began sending forces by air.

The Virginians sent an air squadron with 8 C-141's, carrying 350 men from the Lighthorses, Virginia's premier Special Forces unit, and supplies, including more guns. They also brought Hummvees, 50-60 of them, and a fighter escort of 20 F-16's. Flying over land, and at as high an altitude as possible, they left Virginia and began to make their way to Nigeria.

The RALM used their front, the KSC Corporation, to send additional men as well. Flying them in using a fleet of C-130's, and 747's, 5,000 men from the Tokko-Rikkusentai, the military wing of the Tokko, and more supplies into the Ibo-controlled East. They also brought heavy arms, like Pirat AAMG's, and 105mm G5 Artillery guns.

OPEN IC:

And in Shin Nihon, the RALM's colony in MetaEarth, the Liberty Brigades soon went into action. The whole of the Brigades, some 225,000, boarded landing ships and began to go to Nigeria......they would take longer to arrive, they were arriving by boat and they had to keep up with their escorts.

It appeared that the ALM had deployed no naval force against them, so they proceeded ahead. As they got closer, the Godzilla Arsenal ships headed towards the head of the fleet, within striking distance.

Three of the ships loaded up and fired their tomahawk cruise missiles. Wave after wave they sent hundreds of missiles cruising towards anti-air turrets and other targets, hoping to cause severe damage before they landed.

Current Attack:

350 cruise missiles
- 200 at anti-air/anti-missile turrets
-100 at aircraft hangers
-50 at early warning systems

OOC: Bear in mind, I don't have Nigeria....yet. Not yet, officially. So for now, there are two forces (as confusing as this sounds): Nigerian Gov't, and RALM.

IC:

The Nigerian Regulars fell back, their defenses shattered underneath the hail of weapons fire. Some of the anti-missile turrets fired back before they were hit, but for the most part, many of the guns were damaged.

The Nigerian Government forces were stuck in a vise. The Moroniyckans were coming in fast, but the guerillas were also another potential threat that could not be ignored.

The choice was clear. The Nigerian Government joined forces with the NAAO/RALM Coalition.

That was just as well, the Moroniyckans had eliminated most of the Government defenses. They wouldn't have been able to stand anyway.

As NAAO Militiamen all over Nigeria went on High Alert, their Lighthorse allies came just in time, flying through Niger and landing in Northern Nigeria. They unloaded their goods and got ready; their SpecOps expertise was needed.

The Nigerians soon sent out their Coast Guard and tiny fleet. They were going to try and stop the Moroniyckans from going any further, though equipped mainly with an oddment of ex-Soviet and ex-British destoryers, torpedo boats, and cruisers, they were not going to have an easy time.

The makeshift fleet targeted the Godzilla class Arsenal ships, and went in.....
----------------------------------------------------------

The Liberty Brigades, arriving on 8 Wasp-class Amphibious landers, spotted the Moronickyan Fleet.

The onboard F-35's (400 in total, 50 per Wasp) and Sea Kings (320 Sea Kings, 40 per Wasp) soon lifted off, targeting the Kitty Hawk Aircraft Carriers and Godzilla Arsenal ships with missiles and hunting for any subs.

The other remaining ships in the Liberty Fleet, 5 Arleigh Burke Destroyers, 5 Oliver Hazard Perry's, and 3 Virginia Subs, began to attack the fleet as well, the Destoryers and Frigates picking out the rest of the fleet for attack and the subs trying to hunt the other subs.

*Tag*

Psst. ALM, not to bother, but could you respond to the "Red Wind" thread?

*Tag*

OOC: Mind giving me a hand?

I've gotta RP taking all that other stuff too.....

The MRN was wrong, the enemy did have a navy. The Arsenal ships, which had foolishly gone to the front of the fleet, were now sitting defenseless against the oncoming ships.

The rest of the fleet began to charge forward, but it was too late for 2 of the ships. Brilliant reddish-orange explosions erupted on the sides of the ships hulls. Also, large amounts of water flew up from the surface as torpedoes impacted beneath the water. Two of the Godzillas’ began to sink and the other was damaged.

The CA cruisers and KIDD destroyers moved forward and fired their AGM-84 Harpoon missiles at the enemy ships.

Almost all of the fighters on the ACs scrambled to take off in defense. It appeared that the enemy would have air superiority, at least until Sierra arrived. Also, the carriers fired RIM-7 Sea Sparrow Missiles to try to take out incoming aircraft. Before long, another Arsenal ship was taken out by the combined fire of enemy ships and aircraft.

The remaining Arleigh Burkes quickly took out a cruiser, leaving Moronyicka with 5.



Below the surface, the SeaWolfs had already be discovered the Virginias. They quickly readied, then fired, 2 MK-48 torpedoes (passive) at the closest sub.

Above the surface, Rear Admiral Waysname surveyed the chaos that was going on. He opened up a comm. channel to an air base in Togo and screamed. “We need reinforcements in the air now!”

The Virginia that was targeted soon began evasive manuevers, firing countermeasures and moving rapidly to try and shake it.

The other Virginias soon turned towards the interloper, and fired at the Seawolves using Mk48 ADCAP torpedoes. The Sea Kings in the air soon began hunting for the Seawolves as well, dropping depth charges.

On the surface, two of the Arleigh Burkes and two of the OHP's took hits from the torpedoes, and sustained damage. One of each pair survived with severe damage, the other two sank.

The Arleigh Burkes and OHP's soon struck back at the enemy, firing at the ships that fired the Harpoon Missiles with their own Harpoons and Tomahawks. The Navy was determined not to lose...they wanted to ruin these dudes before the rest of their goon buddies came.

Meanwhile, the Nigerian Navy soon shrug off the casualties (which were minor, they lost the ships that got hit by the missiles) and continued their attacks. Covering for the Liberty Fleet, the torpedo boats soon went after the Kidds, and the other Destroyers and attacked the AC's and CA's.

In the air, the F-35's and the F/A-18's soon sustained some losses, losing 7 F-35's to the Sea Sparrows. 600 of the Liberty Fleet's aircraft soon went after all the aircraft, engaging them in dogfights and firing at them with Sidewinders and Phoenix missiles, the rest went on bombing runs.

OOC: Danke. :)

Two of the SeaWolfs were hit by the torpedoes and completely destroyed. The remaining subs fired back with a total of 4 MK48s.

On the surface, the harpoon and tomahawk missiles had destroyed 2 cruisers and a destroyer. Another KIDD was destroyed by the attacks from the torpedo boat and the Kitty Hawk was now severely damaged by the attacks from the destroyers and the aircraft.

The craft in the air were totally outnumbered. Loss after loss the battle for the skies was looking bad. There was a deafening roar from the direction of Togo, the air reinforcements had arrived. It was about 575 aircraft total, which included F18s, F16s and others.

The last Godzilla Arsenal ships knew it didn’t have much time left, with this in mind it launched all of it’s remaining 30 tomahawk cruise missiles.

Some of the cruiser fired more harpoons at the enemy.

They were only holding off now until Sierra arrived and took them with overwhelming numbers.

One of the Virginias soon was destroyed, the 4 torpedos sundering it into numerous pieces.

The other two Virginias soon began to move quickly, firing more Mk 48 torpedoes at the Seawolves, and then taking evasive action.

On the sea, three more of the torpedo boats was destroyed. The Destroyers of the Nigerian Navy were also hit, one of them was severly damaged, the other sunk.

The Nigerians were taking hits, their navy was losing out....at elast they had done plenty of damage now. Their remaining ships, some 3 ex-Soviet ships, 2 ex-British Destroyers, and 2 Torpedo Boats, attacked the the last Kidd class Destroyer, and the the CA Cruisers.

The Liberty Fleet soon began evasive manuevers, the Arleigh Burkes and the Oliver Hazard Perrys firing their Phalanx AMS systems in furious succession. They got at least some of the missiles, but one or two got through and did moderate damage.

The planes making strafing runs soon did evasive manuevers as well, they fired off chaff and began zigzagging all over the sky in order to try and shake the Sea Sparrows. One or two planes got hit though, and didn't make it out.

The other airplanes reacted to the new arrivals, and the bulk (500) attacked them, concentrating on the bulk of their force, the F-18 Hornets using Sidewinders and Phoenixes, and when close enough, cannons. The rest of the force diverged and went for the other planes, dogpiling them in a similar manner.

All trhe while, the Commandant of the Liberty Fleet ordered for reinforcements.....and he gotr them. The Virginian Patrick Henry Carrier Group, two Kitty Hawks and one Nimitz Aircraft Carrier, 4 Arliegh Burkes, 5 OHP's, and accompanying Sacramaneto class Supply ships, plus 4 Virginia Class Subs, soon departed Norfolk....and would arrive in hours.

(OOC: Well, Hamptonshire said I could regain my sovereignty soon, so...what the hell. I'll just assume I have it back. I'll post momentarily.)

OOC: You can just make your posts a few IC months in the future. I plan to get the occupation of RB over with by next Thursday at the absolute latest, I have to work that all out with the SAP Coalition, though.

The battle in the skies was finally even, explosion after explosion went off in the sky as both sides lost planes. With the attacks from the remaining Nigerian fleet, one KIDD and one CA and the Kitty Hawk were completely destroyed

The MK48 torpedoes connected with two of the SeaWolfs, destroying them completely.

It was about this time when the Sierra assault fleet finally arrived. The highlight of the fleet was the fact that it had 10 arsenal ships, which would help greatly. “Good to see you Sierra, what took so long?” said Rear Admiral Waysname. “Enough of this playing around at sea, let’s see how feisty they are when their cities are burning.” replied Admiral Smith

And with that, the newly arrived fleet began their assault. The Arsenal ships and KIDD classes launched hundreds of tomahawks and harpoons. The plan was to destroy the entire fleet and cause damage on the land.

Current Attack

550 Tomahawk Cruise missiles (in order which they were fired)
-12 at 3 ex-Soviet ships (4 at each)
-10 at 2 ex-British Destroyers (5 at each)
- 4 at 2 torpedo boats (2 at each)
- 16 at 2 Arleigh Burkes (8 at each)
- 14 at 2 Oliver Hazard Perrys (7 at each)

-75 at the remaining missile defense systems
-100 at capital city of Abuja
-100 at several air bases
-219 at several army bases

8 Harpoon missiles
-2 at 1 of the ex-Soviet ships
-6 at 2 torpedo boats (3 at each)

The Nigerian Navy was in trouble. Their torpedo boats were gone, the bulk of their ships were wrecked, and they were now useless. Only a few ships remained, and they decided to go out with honor. They went straight for the Arsenal ships in a kamikaze manuever; they would go down fighting.

The Liberty Fleet also suffered, as they lost a Burke and OHP, and suffered severe hits to on of each type, thoe living thanks to their Phalanx AMS systems.

However, the Patrick Henry arrived.

The leader of the PHBG, Admiral "Jock" Svensgaard, radioed Sierra Fleet and said, "Hey F**kers! Say hello to my little friend!"

His Virginias soon went on the warpath, two fired a flood of Mk 48 torpedoes at the Arsenal Ships and the other two went on the look out for hostiles.

Meanwhile, his OHP's and Burkes soon fired a hail of Harpoons and Tomahawks at Sierra's Arsenal Ships and Kidd Destroyers. T

His Nimitz and Kitty Hawk AC's awoke, anf the aircraft, mostly TSF-28B's and F-35's, plus some TSA-12B's, rained havoc upon the enemy, challenging their air armada and attacking their arsenal ships and Kidds. The existing air units continued their assault, assaulting the enemy in close dogfighting; they had losses, but they continued, their morale boosted.

The Nigerians onshore were damaged, and they were unable to respond. Still, the militia units began moving up the Pirats and Stingers, and frantically tried to hold the positions.....

All the while, the Wasps were firing Sea Sparrows, trying to defend themselves from enemy airstrikes.....

OOC: In the last post you said the new fleet would be here in a couple hours, and boom their here in a couple minutes.

IC:

It seemed that the enemy’s main focus was destroying the arsenal ships, and they were doing a good job. The remaining Nigerian Navy was able to take one arsenal ship out, the Virginias were able to take out two, the OHP's and Burkes were able to take out two and the enemy planes severely damaged one.

They also were able to take out one of Moronyicka's ACs

The remaining 5 fired off tomahawk missiles at the newly arrived fleet

The SeaWolfs fired off a wave of MK48s at the Virginias

The Wasps began to release its aircraft, 25 F16s per ship which totaled 125 planes

Current Attacks

80 tomahawk Cruise Missiles
-33 missiles at 2 Kitty Hawks and a Nimitz (11 at each)
-20 missiles at 4 Arliegh Burkes (5 at each)
-25 missiles at 5 OHP's (5 at each)

8 MK48 Torpedoes
- 8 Torpedoes at 4 Virginias (2 at each)

Losses

5 Arsenal ships
1 KIDD class
1 Nimitz

:mp5: The HMS Wolf glided silently underwater just off the coast. The Astute class nuclear ssn hunter-killer submarine slowly stalked the DDG-993 KIDD class destroyer effortlessly.

"Rise to periscope depth" ordered Captain Stewart, the highly decorated commander of the Kingdom of Bazarain's flagship boat.

"Aye captain" came the smart, quick snapped response as Ensign Harris raised the bow planes for a gradual rise.

"Periscope depth achieved, sir"

Captain Stewart looked through the periscope and rotated it round to the destroyer.

"Sir, Naval command is sending an update on orders through", the comms station operator said.

This was it, he thought, was he to blow the destroyer out the water or had naval intellegence decided that the Moroniyckan forces were friendly.

He knew the 12 special forces commandos on board were itching for some action as soon as they knew who the enemy was.

Only one way to find out. :sniper:

OOC: Sorry, I thought the time had changed...but evidently, my bad.

Edits made...IC stuff filled in.

IC:

Despite the best efforts of the Phalanx AMS units on the Kitty Hawks and the Nimitz, and the other ships, which worked together to throw up a wall of lead at the missiles, a few of them, 16 Tomahawks and 14 Harpoons made it, dealing moderate-heavy damage to the Patrick Henry, and the Kitty Hawks. The other ships sustained slightly more severe damage (two of the OHP's and one of the Burkes sank), and one of the Sacramentos went to the bottom.

The Virginias soon went on evasive manuevers, one was hit, and died, the others were able to deploy countermeasures and begin zigzagging.......

The air armada soon was awakened to the presence of the newcomers. As the TSA-12B strike aircraft continued their attacks on the ships, this time, focusing on their carriers and Kidds, the rest of the TSF-28B's, F-35's and F/A-18's focused on reducing the Moronyickan air fleet. They had lost six more F/A-18's, ten more F-35's, and two more TSF-28B's, but they were still determined to go on, fighting the Moronyickans in fierce combat.

OOC: Sorry, I thought the time had changed...but evidently, my bad.

Whose Nimitz is down?

Its okay.

Umm you mean the one in the losses section? That's mine. I don't post other peoples damage

RP:

The destroyers and cruisers deployed themselves in a semi circle around the 8 capital ships. Meanwhile, the CIWS/ASW ships scattered themselves around the fleet.

The battle started off with over 3000 STSAN (Surface to Surface Anti-Naval) Missiles being blasted at the Moronyickan fleet from the arsenal ships. Each missile would hold 500 kg of ONC and pack a lethal punch.

The gigantic 36 inch NOVA cannons of the Uberbattlecarriers began firing at the enemy fleet.

On the Ubercarrier, planes scrambled into the air, 600 ASF-06 Coral Dragon fighters, 200 ASF-04 Valkyries, 50 G80 VTOL Gunships equipped for naval warfare, 175 ASF-05 Eagle drone fighters, 150 ASF-105 Jammer Eagles and 25 SAR-1 Sensor Planes took off from the 3 huge runways of the ubercarrier in rapid sucession.

The Moronyickan fleet would be dog food in about 30 seconds...

Your forces are not needed......yet

OOC: RP post will be up in a bit

The Sierra fleet now pretty much controlled the sea; the only problem was the Real ALMs airforce. Admiral Smith of Sierra fleet made a call to the nearby Gabon airbase, asking for more fighters.

It was just a matter of time now; the enemy’s fleet had gone into a defensive state of mind and launched no more attacks. The Moronyickan ships mostly fired anti-aircraft weapons to try to help with the battle in the air.

The enemy aircraft were able to take out 1 Kitty Hawk and 1 KIDD

Sierra’s remaining kitty hawks deployed 8 F117s to try to bomb the enemies ACs

The Arsenal ships and KIDDs continued their assault, launching tomahawks and harpoons hoping to take out more Arliegh Burkes.

If the battle continued at its current rate, the Moronyickan fleet would be victorious very soon.

With the current battle over Nigerian ownership Haven was getting touchy. Nigeria was right next to Havens biggest and most important colony, the DRC, and having a bunch of strong militaristic neighbors wasn’t something Haven wanted at all. The problem was that Haven was already involved in one major war and another minor one all in the same area and even though the leadership and the military was confident of Havens ability to win both of those engagements they didn’t want to push the armed forces to far because sooner or later they would break. So a solution was agreed upon, a force would be sent to fight in the waters off of Nigeria but that force would be a secret force, no one would know it was Safehaven2 that was doing the shooting.

The force that was to be sent was a contigent of the 7th sub force. Eight Orca SSN’s and four Leviathen SSBN’s were sent north to Nigeria. It was a small enough force that it wouldn’t really affect the Havenite war effort but it was a big enough force to have the impact it was intended to. Everything on board including uniforms and personal items that might point to Haven as being the origin of the subs was confiscated before they left.

Sliding out of the ports along the Zaire coast they had a short distance to travel before they would be in the battle zone and in range of their first targets. Out in front of them UUV’s peered ahead to see who was up ahead before they came near the subs. Gliding north under the waves the reports came in confirming the location of the large Masspwnage fleet. This fleet had to be cut down to size, it was tipping the scales to far in favor of one side which was against Havens interest. As such it would be slowly trimmed away starting from the outside, the ships that manned the perimeter.

Stopping 35nm away from the MassPwnage furthest ASW perimeter each sub was given a target. They each shut off their reactors switching to Hydrogen fuel cells making them extremely silent. At this range even their massive sonar arrays couldn’t get an accurate enough shot to be worth it so the UUV’s were sent forward to direct the subs weapons in. With the fleet focusing towards the coast and the fighting it was expected that the majority of the ASW ships would also be their leaving their backside relatively weak though that depended on how the fleets admiral had set things up, either way the strike should work.

Each Orca armed all of its external throw away racks, they had to be used now because later on they would cause more danger to the subs than to the enemy. Each Orca had eight Tempest super heavy torpedoes on their racks and they let them loose in one big wave. Each Masspwnage ship targeted was targeted by four torpedoes for all intents and purposes ensuring their destruction. With all the fighting going on in front of them it was doubted the ships would realize what was happening till it was to late. Going in the Tempests skimmed the seafloor going extremely slow so that they let out next to no noise, they kept up going this way till they were barely half a nm away then they kicked on their Sucav engines shooting off at 200knots to hit the ships before they could react. The torpedoes were guided in by wire the whole time so if at any point the ships somehow detected them and fired counter torpedoes at them the operators on the Orca’s could speed them up and put them into maneuvers.

ooc: Safehaven, if you're getting involved, i'm going to use the first fleet that I posted.

OOC: Thats fine if its fine with the thread owner, if not Ill cut back my numbers to make it fairer though Ive only got like 12 subs.

ooc: Oh whoops sorry (thickly written posts with big paragraphs tend to intimidate me)

OOC:lol np, Same happens to me

Problem #1: SuCavs are hellishly noisy and leave a nice little trail leading right to your subs.

Problem #2: SuCavs have a range of only 10km (or miles), in any case, you're a bit too far away.

Problem #3: Guiding them? Whoa there skippy, think about the speed.

Problem #4: WAY too many torps there buddy, try about 10 per sub, max.

OOC: Notice how I said they didn't hit SUcav till they were barely 1nm away. And guiding, by wire used by most militaries today. And I only fired 8 torped per Orca making for a total of 64 torps, so Im below your limit.

Anything else contact me on MSN at vhayek18@hotmail.com

ooc: reply maybe tommorow.

OOC: MassPwnage, I see 4 problems with your RP.

1. A fleet that size can't just appear anywhere in the world in 5 second, you didn't even make a post saying they were departing.

2. The largest aircraft carrier in the modern world is the Nimitz super carrier, it holds 85 craft. Your "ubercarrier" holds 1200, that makes you post modern and bordering future tech.

3. No nation with 566 million people could have a navy that large.

4. Your military is too big for your budget. Your defense budget is about 751 billion dollars. All of those ships would cost a huge amount of money, pay for the sailors, fuel for the ships, missiles ect. All of the nation claims that you have been doing must have had huge cost for ammunition, repairs ect. You said you were just at war with the macbees, their a fairly large nation, you must have suffered a lot of damage, which = a lot of repairs which = a lot of money.


I mean, we're talking about over a trillion dollars, therefore you economy would have imploded by now.

Unless you can sort this out, I can't reply to your post.


ALM, why didn't you reply to my attack?

ooc: Moronyicka, IM me over this.
Anyway... about SafeHaven2's post....

IC:

"Incoming!"

The torpedoes were found miles from the Pwnage fleet. The amount of SONAR and LADAR put into the water was astounding, resulting in large numbers of calculations for the Pwnage technicians.

"Alright now, get ready...."

When the SuCav engines of the torpedos kicked in, Pwnage countertorpedos blasted out to destroy them, since the SuCAVs couldn't turn and were very noisy, they were tracked down and destroyed easily, only a destroyer and 2 ASW ships went down. (ooc: IM me if you want me to take more losses).

Meanwhile, 20 G80N VTOL planes took off from the Nexus Battlecarriers.

Because the UUVs were emitting so much sonar, their position was found easily.

The G80Ns dropped conically shaped proximity charges into the water in a net-like pattern with , they would detonate upon getting near anything metallic...

OOC: Did you take any losses at all? About the sonar yes of course their emitting it but not huge amounts, their not on active and they don’t need to be with so many of your ships moving around so noisily but here goes…

The sub force had begun to move to a new position before the fleet got the idea to check the area out. While they were moving the first UUV was hit, then another. The UUV operator reported that it had to be an aircraft attacking the UUV’s, the splashes of the charges proved as much because if it would have been the ships of the fleet doing the firing their wouldn’t have been any splashes right on top of them. Many of the UUVs would be lost but MassPwnage fleet wouldn’t get away that easy. The VLS tubes of the Orca subs were armed with the surface varient of the Artemis missile. Each Orca let loose 5 of its Artemis missiles the canisters going to the surface before the missiles broke free of its capsule. Their were a total of 40 Artemis missiles heading to the VTOL’s meaning their should have been two per VTOL but because the missiles had more freedom some VTOLs would et more than their fair share.The distance to the UUV’s and the VTOLs above them was just 25miles and with the missiles kicking on their RAMjet engines that distance would burn up quick. Each missiles aquired a VTOL first with radar then with its Lidar systems to get a definite lock.

Below the waves the sub fleet immediately started moving out of the area before a strike was called up against them. They moved away from the fleet increasing the distance between them and the enemy. They headed at an angle aiming at the Cameroon coast which they would reach in an hour as long as nothing came up.

IC: Since the Moronyicka Navy doesn't seem to need any help President Wolfe has pulled all forces out and are now on there way back to Wolfesburg.

ooc: Moronyicka, I'm not using the ubercarrier anymore, see the toned down version.

The G80s launched a hail of short blast radius EMP missiles, but some missiles still made it through.

2 G80s were shot down, but their pilots were recovered and the wreckage floated. They would be towed back later for repairs.

8 other G80s were damaged but flew back.

The MassPwnage fleet had positioned itself in a half circle facing the Nigerian coast meaning the sub force was basically on its flank off of the Cameroon coast. While the massive capital ships employed by the MassPwnage navy made very juicy targets they weren’t targeted just yet. With the ASW ships having to be spread out so far along such a large area if they wanted to cover every part of the fleet equally it meant that any one or two ships was basically on its own when it came to protecting each other. The sub slid forward again reaching 35nm from the fleets edge. This time the Leviathen SSGN’s joined the action preparing their VLS tubes. Each Leviathen shuddered as they fired off their missiles. A total of 100 FastHawk II missiles screeched into the air tipping over and flying off towards the MassPwnage fleet aiming for the ASW ships and any destroyers manning the perimeter that presented such a danger to the subs. That pout a huge dent in the missile supply for the sub fleet but it would be worth it if it got the effects that were wanted. With only 35 miles to cross the ships of the fleet would barely have a minute to respond as the missiles screamed in at mach 3.5 with their 1,000LBS ONC cargoes. The entire way the missiles sea skimmed but with the speeds involved and the distance their only real threat was the CIWS and close in defense systems as the fleet wouldn’t have much time or room to put Sam’s into the air. The problem with CIWS was that it had trouble engaging fast missiles, even older missiles like the Russian Yakhont could defeat CIWS by simply going to fast for it. A CIWS gun could only engage one of the missiles because they went so fast the gun wouldn’t have time to turn to engage another one before it struck.

The Leviathens and most of the Orcas fled as soon as the missiles were away, all except one Orca. That Orca crept forward till it was just 25 miles away, their it went down to 800feet and turned off its reactor reling on its Hydrogen batteries to keep it running, meaning like a diesel it would be perfectly silent. For now it just sat their, its actions depended on what the fleet would do.

3 CIWS ships were lost, a cruiser suffered minor damage and a destroyer suffered severe damage.

Damn... this was going to be annoying...

The reports came filtering in, a 5% hit rate, damn he’d been expecting at least 10% but it was better than nothing. Nodding to his XO the sub began to turn and the captain went to grab some sleep in his quarters. The sub fleet except for the single Orca continued moving getting away from their launch point but always staying within 20 nm of the remaining Orca.

The single Orca that still waited behind sent out two of its four remaining UUV’s, they headed east running parallel to the MP fleets perimeter. About 6nm from the Orca they stopped and began to act like Seawolf class SSN’s sending out the apropriate signals. They acted like they were hiding and they were, unless the MP ships were actively looking for them they most likely wouldn’t find them. The Orca then fired 7 torpedoes which followed the UUV’s. The torpedoes went extremely slow, and really deep almost to their crush depth, barely making turns for 5knots, even less in some cases. The Orca guided them by wire so that once they reached were the UUVs hid they turned toward the MP fleet. Going so slow and so deep it would be hard for the remaining ASW ships in the area to detect them especially with all the commotion and all the noise from secondary explosions, ships picking up survivors, debris landing in the water exc. The torpedoes would head to kill some more of the ASW ships in the area speeding up at the last minute and driving up to spear the MP ships. If the ASW ships did somehow detect them threw all the noise and launched a counter torpedo, because they were wire guided the could be ordered to speed up and start doing maneuvers.

Bump

The LADAR networks caught the incoming torpedos.

Although the torpedos manuevered, the counter torpedos, using swift water ramjets, moved faster.

Another ASW ship went down... damn.

That's it, someone's gonna pay...

The fleet had taken their losses, not much at once but a constant stream nonetheless one that had to be demoralizing especially when they didn’t even know who was doing the shooting. It was time to hit them a bit harder though, one final strike before the sub fleet pulled back to resuply, this strike was meant to hurt more than any of the other strikes to date. The weakest link in the MP line was the point were the last two attacks had fallen, nearly ten ships specifically designed for air and submarine defense had gone under or were damaged in that stretch of the line meaning their were now black spots in the defense system that those ships once filled.

The sub group closed to thirty nm from the line and prepared for their last strike. If they got this one right they would soon be far away resting while their subs were refitted. This strike would involve all the subs the SSNs and SSGNs included along with their smaller companions. To start it off the UUV’s that were all ready out were again set in front of the sub force but for a different purpose. Back at the sub fleet everyone was on edge waiting for the days events to begin.

The Orca’s fired first, every Orca participating this time using seven of their eight forward tubes. A total of 56 MADCAP torpedoes left their tubes and headed off to the MP fleet acting like the ones before them going extremely slow so that they wouldn’t be picked up. The underwater Lidar system the MP fleet used had a short range as water was denser than air making it harder for Laser to pass thru. So the torpedoes would continue this way till they were just outside of effective laser range when they would hit their engines and speed in at 75knots.

The Leviathens fired after the Orca’s but it was timed up so both their weapons would hit about the same time. They fired off the last of their Fasthawk II missiles for a total of 90 missiles heading for the MP ships at mach 3.5. The missiles and torpedoes concentrated along a small stretch of the line already weakened hoping to kill as many ASW ships and destroyers as possible. As soon as the missiles were fired the Orca’s and Leviathens turned around and fled the area heading south.

The Sierra fleet now pretty much controlled the sea; the only problem was the Real ALMs airforce. Admiral Smith of Sierra fleet made a call to the nearby Gabon airbase, asking for more fighters.

It was just a matter of time now; the enemy’s fleet had gone into a defensive state of mind and launched no more attacks. The Moronyickan ships mostly fired anti-aircraft weapons to try to help with the battle in the air.

The enemy aircraft were able to take out 1 Kitty Hawk and 1 KIDD

Sierra’s remaining kitty hawks deployed 8 F117s to try to bomb the enemies ACs

The Arsenal ships and KIDDs continued their assault, launching tomahawks and harpoons hoping to take out more Arliegh Burkes.

If the battle continued at its current rate, the Moronyickan fleet would be victorious very soon.

Bump

Ill second that bump

ooc: UX is probably busy.

The CIWS/ASW ships drew into a tighter circle (what they normally do in any case).

Meanwhile, the Missiles and Torpedos came in...

Damn.

Now, the SAMs of the Destroyers began to assist the CIWS/ASW ships.

2 more ASW ships went down to the missiles though, and 1 missile hit the uberbattleship, not even scratching the paint.

The Torpedos sank a cruiser and another destroyer.

Fuck....

The G80s took off again in pursuit, dropping Magnetic, LADAR and Sonobuoys where the missiles came from.

Subs don't generally move quickly, so they were spotted not far from there they were seen last.

The G80s dropped the conical proximity depth charges in a grid pattern againt this time, then dropped MadCaps and SuCavsinto the water right above where they were located, they had less than a few hundred meters to react to everything...

OOC: How many G80's?

The sub force was heading south in a good fashion when the G80s began dropping their bouys into the water, even at the speed they were going they had only put a few miles between them and the firing point. The splashing of the bouys was heard loudly by the sonar operators on the subs and they knew it meant only one things, the MassPwnage fleet had sent out aircraft again. Aircraft were extremly dangerous to submariners and had always been but the inovation of submarine capable SAM's had put a real dent into that danger. A submarine could carry alot of SAM's, if a fighter could carry 16 or 18 missiles of course a sub could carry more except for the fact that they had to be bigger with the capsule that allowed them to be fired from underwater. The normal loadout for an Orca on patrol was 10 Artemis missiles but with the Leviathens coming along the Orca's didn't need to carry any anti-shipping missiles leaving more space in their tubes for more Artemis'. Becouse of that the Orca's were carring 18, 8 more than usual, and after their last encounter they each had 13 left.

So when the 15 G80's began dropping their bouys they were signing their death warrant. they had dropped at the launch site meaning it would take them a minute or two to get over to where the subs were now and start dropping weapons on them it also meant their was a damn short distance for the SAMs to close before they crashed into the G80's. The MP fleet had made a mistake, they had sent the G80's out unprotected and now they would pay.

Again 5 Artemis SAMs, 40 total, rose up from each Orca hiding in thier capulse before they broke thru the waves and broke free. Kicking on thier engines they turned over heading straight at the G80s only a few miles away. Kicking it up to mach 4 one of the missiles didn't make it exploding as it malfunctioned exiting its capsule. The other 39 continued on to the rapidly shrinking distance, the G80s were flying straight at the missiles meaning it would be only seconds after the missiles aquired a lock before they met with the G80s. Most of the G80s would probaly die but in case the G80s did survive and continued hunting the subs they broke into three groups, one going south the other south west and the third south east.

2 G80s were shot down and 3 more damaged.

The subs were allowed to withdraw, meanwhile, the G80 wreckages were recovered by a few crusiers, guarded by ASW ships and destroyers. Enough ASW ships were left behind however to ensure that the capital ships weren't too threatened.

The G80s dropped their torps right on top of the middle group giving the subs below no chance. They desperatly tried to stave off the torpedoes, one Orca even managing to fire off some of its Artemis' back at the G80s. The first one to go down was the HNS Aenteus going down with all hands. Another two Orca's and a Leviathen would die before it was all over. While the G80s tried to turn around and let the subs flee the submariners below had a different idea, it was time for revenge. Before it had just been a game, they had some fun strikig here and their but now it was personal, some of their own had died. 6 Artemis missiles were already flying up at the G80s from the middle group, coming out right under the massive G80s and heading to their bellies. The other two groups fixed their mistake of not firing all their Artemis, they let loose a massive volley of 40 Artemis missiles. The G80s were bracketed, 6 missiles coming from below them while 20 came from each side.

The remaing sub force continued in their two groups till they put a little over 25 miles between them and the incoming MP fleet contigent, far enough that the bouys wouldn't be able to detect them. With the 25 ASW ships and destroyers formed up in a full circle around the cruisers it meant that less then half, maybe less, were in a positon to protect against an attack from any given side at any given moment. Now it was time for revenge, and brute force. The Orca's and Leviathens all turned their tubes on the MP ships. Being so far away they didn't need to leave one tube un-fired as was the custom as their wasn't a danger so all eight ships fired all eight of their tubes at one part of the line for a total of 64 MAPCAP torpedoes flying in at what would most likley be barely 12 ships that could fight back if things went to plan. The Leviathens turned and ran to safety but the Orca's stayed moving back a little as they reloaded. A second smaller salvo went out from the Orcas this time 40 MAPCAP torpedoes before the Orcas to turned and ran for it.

The G80s threw up a screen of flares, small counter missiles and chaff before breaking off.

Still another G80 was shot down.

Damn.

Meanwhile, the Torpedos came in.

Crap....

3 ASW, 2 destroyers and a Cruiser went down into the watery depths, but the G80 wreckages were recovered as the subs disengaged.

On the carriers, 2 groups of 50 ASF-06 Coral Dragons took off, each loaded with 2 MADCAPS. Escorting them were 80 ASF-05 Eagle Drone Fighter Planes.

Following the Subs the ASF-06s dropped their MADCAPS into the water to follow the retreating subs then broke off immediately.

As the submarines fled they heard the explosions as their torpedoes crashed in behind them, then the sounds of the stricken ships breaking up resonated in the water and into the hulls of the subs. The MP fighters streaked in to late causing a masive wastage of MP money and resources. The torpedoes went thru the ocean aimlessly chasing the submarines. The ships they had depended upon for a location to fire had their sonar systems overflowing with over 100 incoming targets and hundreds more counter torpeodes plus the fact that it would take time for the aircraft to take off, form up and head out, the submarines who had been fleeing at near top speed were safe. They still had to flee cause if they would have stopped the torps would have caught up with them, as they did one Orca who lagged behind. It wasn't over yet though, both sides would get to take a few more shots before it was finsihed.

Waiting till it was night the subs met up with a modified mercheant ship at night and filled themselves to pre-mission levels. The mercheant wasn't the only ship they met up with, another 6 Orcas and 4 Leviathens and one "milk sub" bringing the total up to 10 Orca's and 7 Leviathens and the "milk"ship.

They spent some time to rest before heading back up to the battle. They moved up to 30miles again with their UUV's out in front and the Leviathens and Orca's forming two groups. Two of the UUV's sat on the surface of the sea for a special purpose. The Leviathen group started the fun first opening up their VLS tubes and torpedo tubes. They weren't playing around this time launching all of their missiles, it was a bit odd but their was a purpose behind it. All 320 of their FastHawk II missiles streaked in to kill what remained of the MP fleets CIWS ships and destroyers, and even though practice showed many wouldn't make it it would only take one missile to destroy one of the ships. They also fired off their frontal torpedo tubes launching four of their tubes for 32 MAPCAps heading at the MP fleet. The Leviathens then took the oppurtunity to turn tail and run heading south and breaking into three groups to get away from their launch point. All the while the Orca's sat and watched.

From the Gulf of Pacitalia, a group of 160 SB-7 Naval Bombers, 50 G80Ns, 200 ASF-06 fighters and 80 ASF-05 JammerEagle Drone Fighters flew towards the hotspot....

Meanwhile, during the night, the G80s were towed back and the perimeter reformed. Sensorbuoys were placed around the fleet perimeter, scanning for miles around.

Also, a few unmanned UAVs patrolled the air in a circle, using powerful airborne radar. If they were shot down, then the enemy would just be revealing his location.

At 2:00 a.m...

About 100 miles off, SB-7 Radar spotted a ship...

"It's some sort of ship."

"Kill it, it's not ours."

5 ATSAN anti-naval missiles each with a 350kg ONC warhead streaked out towards the merchant ship.

"The videocameras in the missiles show it's a Havenite ship, resupplying... something..."

"What are they resupplying that's underwater..."

The ship didn’t know what hit it. It had been finishing loading up the last Orca when the first missile crashed into its port side. The Orca dived and got away protected from the force of the blasts by the body of the merchant which sucked up hit after hit before literally disintegrating in a massive explosion. MassPwnage had just declared war on Safehaven2 with no pretext or reason, and while Safehaven2 was deeply involved elsewere they would have their revenge upon MassPwnage soon enough.

The MassPwnage fleet was ready.

None of the Torpedos got through and only 1 missile got through, sinking another CIWS ship.

The Sonobuoys found the Orcas quickly.

The G80s and SB-7s, escorted by ASF-06s went out hunting, dropping more sensor buoys every once in a bit.

The Orcas were dead.

The SB-7s and G80s dropped a total of 20 MADCAPS for every Orca. The MADCAPS would trail relentlessly until destroyed...

OC: Umm no?
1)Explain how a sonar bouy detected my subs 30nm away?
2)1 missile broke thru? BS, explain how the hell you pulled that off.
3) how are your planes making the flight from the gulf of Mexico to Nigeria? And once their how do they make it home as they aren't landing on the carriers cause their full.
