Four Heatons Civvilian Aircraft Shot down (OPEN,MT> [Archive]

Daniels Island

It was late in Daniels Island,

The sound of foot steps filled the corridor of Sidney House
Moments later 4 Smartly suited personnel walked in through the large doors

As the woman leading the group approached a young man suited man sitting at a large desk...

"I Take it you seen the news sir?" she said

"Yeah I've seen it, were talking about that conflict between those two countries right?"

"Yes sir, the council have advised that we send some support over considering were suppose to be a peace keeping country"

"Well I dont really see what type of support we can send and who we suppose to send it too?..."

"Maybe we should just place somthing threatining in the seas?"

"Yeah I see where your going with this I'll get on it" Said the young man pressing a button on the phone...

"Jen put me through to International Affairs Department"

"Yes sir" said the recepionist

"I.A.D" said a young voice "Please state your UC and ID No.

"This is **** and the ID no. is 89001A"

"Ready for orders Sir" Said the young voice

"Okay I need to know what and where our closet naval fleet is to Aquidneckese waters..

"Okay that'll be our D.I 21 - ARK, Carrying 2 Apache attack helicopters 2 Puma Helcopters 4 F-16's and 4 Harrier Jets, Location is only 12.5 miles from designated area"

"Perfect, contact the captain of the D.I 21, and tell him to change there co ordinates"

"Yes sir"

(Scene - D.I 21 Ark)

"Captain" Said a naval soldier looking at the telegram machine

"We have new co ordinates, re setting them to the Aquidneckese waters, 12.5 miles from here, Intimidation is required to attempt a calm down on the current conflict between the two countries involved, we've been told there's also survivor civillans from a 747 which took a crash in the waters we need to provide help and rescue if neccesary"

"Okay well lets get going then, Attention!" yelled the captain "we have new co ordinates"

(OOC:Hope You Dont Mind Is This Okay?)

As the D.I 21 Ark aproached the waters the captain and crew immediatly witnessed, intense confrontaion between aircrafts, "cut the engines we'll stay where we are"

"Get the soldiers and aircrafts ready" Ordered the Captain

The Four Heatons

"Storm Squadron, pull Attack Manovour theta 2-0" Storm lead ordered and the squadron split like a star taking adavantage of both the planes H-G capability and the oncomiing jets speed. The target of the squadron now came much smaller and the enemy squadron would be forced to split.

<FHS Excellence>

"They've done what?" The Admiral asked
"ENgaged an emey squardron" The Aide replied
"Get me the perresonel file on Storm Lead, we were meant to watch not start a war...at least not yet" THe Admiral ordered "Find out if he had a family on boarrd the 747"

Aquidneckese Airspace

Red Fox Squadron broke up, two of the Su-15s rolled left, two rolled right, and two pulled up. Soon, the enemy aircraft would be in range for their Vympel R-23 missiles.

Near the D.I 21 Ark

Four submarines that were operating in the area, two Project 641 (Foxtrot) Class, and two Asashio class submarines, altered their course, towards the new ship.

<U-2 Spy plane>

Pilot: We seem to have the beginnings of a war here...
DT Ground Control: Interesting, fly back home now, we need the detailed reports.
Pilot: Roger, out

The spy plane flew back towards the base. However, the pilot misread his GPS, and flew over Pyshoria. Right in it's path was Tiger Air Force Base.

<F-15 interceptor A>
Pilot: We have sighted Buzzard 79 (Code = U-2) 30,000 feet above the base.
Interceptor B: What!
Ground Control: Interceptors, eliminate it. It poses a threat to our security.
Pilot: Roger
Pilot of B: Roger
Pilot: Firing snake (Code = Sidewinder missile)

<U-2>
U-2 pilot: Therefore, the rescue operation will be... Good Lord!!!!
DT Ground Control: What?!?!
U-2 Pilot: Sidewinder incoming!!!!
(Explosion)

<F-15 interceptor A>
Pilot: Mission Accomplished. Buzzard is destroyed. No survivors are seen.
Ground Control: Good, return to base.

"Sir we have something coming up on the radar we can't make it out... looks like submarines?"

"Get the choppers and the Jets in the sky!... radio back to naval base and tell them it looks like theres gonna be a full blown war out here! and we may need to either retreat or attack!"

"Yes sir!"

With the Captains orders, The Air Squad Lifted

"All international aircrafts this is a request for you to both retreat yourselves and your forces"

This Is F-16 Knight 1 Target Locked Onto An SU-15

Ready to fire on refusal of retreat...

Star Squadron paried up and began to dogfight with the enemy jets, the lead and two got behind one set of SU-15's and attempted to get missile lock.

Aquidneckese Airspace

Even at the top speed for the F/A 18, the two Su-15s would be pulling away from them, at roughly 2 nm every minute. The longer they took to get the missile lock, the further the missile would have to go. Meanwhile, one of the Su-15s, and that had pulled up above the maximum altitude for the F/A 18, came down on the two F/A 18s that were trying to get a lock. It reduced it's speed to match that of the F/A 18s and launched two Vympel R-60 missiles on one of the aircraft. After the missiles were away it strafed both planes with it's 2 UPK-23-250 23 mm gun pods. Red Fox One, replied to the F-16, "We are defending our national airspace, against hostile aircraft, that have intentionally violated our airspace, and threaten the use of force against us. We ask for your assistance in repelling these invaders."

"We are avengeing our civvilian aircraft which was shot down by these bastards in an unprovoked attack" Star one told the F-16 as he popped countermeasures and pulled a high -G turn throwning the missile system off somewhat. Star Four and Five we're able to avoid the guns pretty eisly though start 5 took a hit to the port rudder. The F-18's chasing the Su-15's finally got lock on the escapiing Su-15's and both planes fired Two AIM-120 AMRAAM's and then a futher AIM-9 Sidewinder each.

Pyshoria News Station:
A Boeing 747 owned by Four Heatons Airlines has been shot down by a missle. An air battle has ensued, and the situation has been getting more intense.

<Tiger Air Force Base>

General Ben Taplin has ordered a Virginia Class submarine (one of two) to be sent to investigate. Orders are to just observe.

To confirm the images being relayed by the spyplane, a sattelite pass over the area using one of the Griffencrest corporation's space assets revealed the Four Heatons fleet fast approaching, along with the inbound Daniel's Island ship. Subsequent intel revealed the dogfight already under way.

Shortly after the first signs of conflict were brewing, the DT airbase across the sea from the downed plane was mobilized. Fighters were scrambled and AWACS reconossaince planes luanched along with B-52's equipped with high-intensity IR laser countermeasures and towable electronic countermeasure dummies. In thier holds rotary luanchers held missiles ranging from AMRAAM stand off air-to-air missiles to long range cruise missiles with heavy warheads. F/A-18E/F Super Hornets accompanied the AWACS.

A message was broadcast through the forward AWACS to embattled area:
Open Communication
Four Heaton and Aquidneckian forces stand down and cease fire. The Deserted Territories Strategic Air Command will not tolerate the loss of civilian life in the crossfire of your engagement. Break formation, bear to windward and abandon combat stations. DT forces will deal swiftly with any forces acting rashly and endangering the lives of the civilians on board the wreck. Repeat. Four Heaton and Aquidneckian forces stand down and cease fire. The Deserted Territories...

<Virginia Class Submarine>
Captain: We have found the wreckage of the aircraft, and signs show that it was indeed shot down. It also seems that some systems have malfunctioned, including the altimeter and the G.P.S.

Tiger Air Force Base Control: So this could be the result of poor communication?

Captain: It is a possibility, but what is clear it that it was an unprovoked attack.

T.A.F.B.C: Very well, prepare the missiles, we are going into combat.

Official Response of the Fascist Federation of the Grand World Order

The Order finds the recent acts between the nations as silly and unnecessary. We are deploying the GWO Air Force to prevent the continued aerial warfare. Should an invasion attempt be made by either nation, the Order will deploy forces to stop the invasion force. Any malicious attacks on Federation personnel will be an Act of War. Something as simple as a country defending their airspace is no grounds for war. As far as the "Offending Nation" was concerned, that plane could have been a bomber carrying NBC weapons. However, the "Offending Nation" should have made radio contact before shooting down the plane.

Both sides are wrong, and this is the final verdict of the Order.

With Love, the Grand World Order Office of Foreign Affairs.

13-02-2009, 02:53

A Second Four Heatons Squadron appeared on the horizon
"Storm Squadron this is Talent Lead, stand down immediatly and snap to heading 190 and leave the area, Storm lead, your attempt to avenge your brother will throw the Foue Heatons into war" Talent lead instructed "All Four Heatons aircraft will return to FHS Excellence immediatly"

Aquidneckia

13-02-2009, 05:59

Aquidneckia Airspace

Two of the Su-15 aircraft were hit, on a direct hit, and exploded, the second, a near hit, which severally damaged the aircraft, but allowed the pilot to eject. The other Su-15, which had been strafing the F/A 18s, fired two R-98M1 missiles at one of the F/A 18s, at quite close range.

By the time the second wave of fighters had been detected, things at the airbase had changed, the entire base was on alert. Following the loss of two Su-15 aircraft in the fight, it was determined that interceptors were not enough, it was time to send in a squadron of multirole fighters. Within seconds, 8 MiG-21bis aircraft, that had been prepped for just such an occasion, were in the air, and quickly climbing to 58,000 ft. where they would be well above the maximum altitude of the F/A 18s. In a little over a minute and a half, all eight were flying at Mach 2.0, at 58,000 ft. They were not heading towards the main air battle, but instead heading towards the incoming squadron.

"Were goin down" Yelled the pilot on puma 1 as the chopper spiralled out of control eploding just before it hit the rough sea...

"Thats it people... peace keeping chopper has been shot down, tell all aircrafts to take attack formation pronto!"

With that the F-16's went into attack formation as did the harriers and the apache choppers

"This is F-16 Knight 3, Target locked on a Aquidneckia F/A 18 This is Knight 3 Firing!"

The Missle Was Realesed...

Communication to DT, It seems were here for the same reasons requesting to join forces and put an end to this conflict?

Imperial Intelligence Agency
Somewhere in Philippiniada
01:23PM Local Time PST

Director James A. Dillon has just finished his paperwork on his office. He sat back to his office chair trying to grab some rest before calling it a day. He's job is unusually easy today, No media has bugged him all day. Which was a quite a surprise because of the recent controversies that involve his agency. But the moment he closed his eyes...

"SIR!" On comes a young office worker on their Foreign Intelligence Department.

"WHAT?! What is it?!" Exclaimed the middle-aged Director Dillon to the young worker

"Sorry for the disturbance, sir but a small air skirmish between the nations Aquidneckia and The Four Heatons took place" The young worker explained to his superior

"Ugh. What's the reason of your shouting? It's not like we are being attacked or something" The Director said in a pissed off tone.

"Sorry sir, but the President said that we could use this opportunity to test out some of our own aerial weapons in case we need to use them"

"Hm. That warfreak President of ours.. Okay, Brief me here and now"

"It looks like the Four Heatons has a civilian transport downed by a Aquidneckian Fighter, Heatons took offense and engaged the Aquidneckian Fighter. That's what we know so far, Other nations has also taken notice of this" Said briefly by the young office worker

"Tell the Foreign Department and the Situation Room to send a declaration of strict neut--"

"Sir, The President said that he doesn't want any Neutrality right now"

The Director then straightened his tie and stood up. He walked out his office without saying a word to the young office worker.

An few hours later. The Director sent a communique to the nations involved in the conflict.

After the communique has been sent. Two fighter squadrons consisting of Philippinian Eagle 02 (Sukhoi SU-30M Build) fully armed and battle ready has been readied for immediate takeoff with destination 227,88. In the map it reads "Aquidneckian Waters". The Director of the IIA has authorized the mission.

Captain Parker will be leading the charge. Their mission is to successfully make a roundtrip from Maniylad, Philippiniada to the Aquidneckian Maritime Territory.

The IIA has been on standby on the desk of OIC in the Airbase. With every word that the boys at IIA will definitely change the scene on the Airbase. For the first time since the Great Civil War of 1992. A code red would be announced in the Airbase named after a great civil war hero. The people at the airbase hold their breaths for the decision of the President...

At that moment, the Virginia Class Submarine sent a transmission to the Daniels Island Fighters. It read:
<Daniels Island fighter planes, state your objectives and purpose. If your mission harms this submarine or any Four Heatons planes, we will fire. The cause of this battle was an unprovoked attack on a Four Heatons Airlines 747, a civilian aircraft, resulting in over 350 deaths. If you attack us or any of our allies, we WILL fire missiles at any of you. This is a Virginia Class Submarine, I repeat, a VIRGINIA CLASS submarine. We also have a Nimitz class carrier on the way here. If you wish to remain unharmed, do not fire.

"This is Spartan Leader, hold fire! I repeat hold fire! turn your attenions to defending Four Heatons aircrafts! we have a Virginia Class Sub giving us direct orders.."

"Spartan Leader this is Spartan 1.. why are we doing what they tell us too?"

"Because we are a peacekeeping nation and it is The Four Heatons that are under attack!"

Saint Clair Island

13-02-2009, 23:00

Treasure Island was usually the northwestern limit of Saevitian combat air patrols. A hundred nautical miles from the nearest island of any consequence, it was home to about five thousand permanent inhabitants, including the personnel of a med-sized air base where the routine patrols often stopped to refuel.

Over Treasure Island a pair of K-39s circled at about fifteen thousand feet, just one of the many patrols active all around the Archipelago on a routine basis. The lead Gryphon, Tech. Sgt. Matt "Bugs" Holbrook, was in communication with ground control, his wingman circling just above and behind him.

"So where are you sending us this time, Control? Over."

"There's some kind of disturbance about two hundred en-em northwest of here. I'll send you coordinates. Over."

"All right."

"Snapshot it and we'll pass it on to WC. They're a little concerned, see. Over."

"Roger that. You copy, Lionfish? All right, Bugs out."

Holbrook angled down and activated his thrusters, pushing his K-39 to its cruising speed of Mach 1.5. His wingman, A1C André "Lionfish" Smalls, accelerated alongside him. Operating under EMCON, the two stealth fighters would be nearly impossible to detect unless you were specifically watching for an aircraft coming from Saevitia and had really, really powerful radars. A combination of minimized radar profile, radar-absorbing paint, cover of darkness, and low altitude helped this.

An hour or two passed with little conversation (radio silence was generally maintained under EMCON, as the CSSA was nothing if not cautious), dropping off as they approached the target zone. About forty nautical miles from the zone, Holbrook took his eyes off the instruments and scanned the aging but well-maintained console to fix in his mind the activation switch for the recon gear that had been affixed to the stealth fighter in place of one of its hardpoints. Then he began to slow his speed.

Twenty nautical miles from the zone, he broke radio silence: "Lionfish. Now." Then, in rapid succession, as his wingman broke away from tailing him, he activated the recon gear, the fiber-optic link back to Treasure Island airbase, and the radar. He kept the radar on for a three-second sweep, then deactivated it again and banked hard into evasive maneuvers, again minimizing his profile to avoid detection. Now they would know there were other planes out there, but not where they were, or how many they numbered. (They could search with active radar, it was true, but not without giving their position away to the enemy.)

Ten seconds later Smalls did the same thing, but from a completely different angle. This would continue until the Saevitian aircraft had gained a more complete picture of everything going on around there.

Pyshoria

13-02-2009, 23:36

Just 50 nautical miles north of Treasure Island, the P.A.F.N. cougar, a Nimitz Class carrier, had just received the rescued civilians. They were about to leave on a flight organized by the admiral of the ship. This would take them back to the Four Heatons. But before that happened, 15 fighters, plus 2 Apache helicopters, lifted off and flew to the battle. The fighters were comprised of 1 squad of 5 F-35s, codenamed cheetah, and two squads of 5 F-15 interceptors, codenamed lion 1 and 2. They were followed by two pyshorian made attack submarines, who were in the ocelot class. They had a top speed of 35 knots, and were fitted with the Barracuda Prototype torpedoes. These torpedoes were seeing their first action. They could travel at 1.2 times the speed of sound, making them un-traceable by sonar, but were smaller than most torpedoes. With their mission carried out, the leopard and the cougar headed back to Pyshoria.

Saint Clair Island

13-02-2009, 23:43

[OOC: A torpedo that can travel at those speeds is actually going to have to be pretty huge, very noisy and rather short-ranged, given that a real supercavitating 533mm (standard-sized) torpedo can travel only about 14-15 km at 200 knots and is presumably quite easy to detect.]

Pyshoria

13-02-2009, 23:58

The torpedo prototype exists, and the reason it is quite small is because it is shaped like a dagger. It is currently being jointly developed by the Germans and the Swedish. Each attack submarine carries just 1, and mainly relies on normal torpedoes.

Pyshoria

13-02-2009, 23:59

Also, it is actually much smaller, I just wrote the wrong thing.

Of the 8 Super Hornets escorting the two AWACS planes, 4 were EA-18G Growler variants luanched to carry out electronic jamming on the area. Each carried five ALQ-99 jamming pods and were equipped with the INCANS Interference Cancellation system. The jamming provided by these planes intercepts and jams all radio communication between aircraft and is effective in neutralizing most surface-to-air missiles.

The Growlers broke formation to blanket the contested airspace, dampening all combat actions. Furthermore, the 5 B-52s deployed their towable countermeasure dummies. When activated, these dummies presented a radar signature 20x the size of the plane they followed. To the aircraft currrently dogfighting one another and all the planes inbound to intervene, the sky around them would now be an incomprehesible blanket of radar beams and scrambled radio chatter. Acquiring and locking on to targets would now be extremely difficult, especially with the amount of computer and external targeting required in modern planes.

The only exception was that Four Heaton's communications with its seemingly rogue pilot were forwarded through the jamming so they could resolved the unfolding crisis.

Pyshoria

14-02-2009, 03:16

At that moment, area pinpointed by the radar disturbance, the P.A.F.N. F-35s swooped in. In the constant array of radar beams just decreased their radar sign, due to the incorporated stealth tachnology. The acute radar system was able to give the F-35s just enough of a signal to understand the area, though the radar scrambling made it almost incomprehensible. They eventually pinpointed the Aquidneckian Mig-21s, which were soaring above the radar mess. The F-35s quickly gained on the Migs, and fired their heat-seeking sidewinder missiles.

Saint Clair Island

14-02-2009, 03:45

"We jammin'?" Holbrook paused, looking over the readout from his last radar sweep. "Yep. It's a jam session, all right. We'll have to do a solo."

He flicked a switch among the instruments and another display hummed to life. The LADAR was most effective at closer range, so he brought himself in a little closer, but he'd seen enough, and so had the recon gear built in. Turning off active systems once again, he brought himself around, accelerated again and climbed to gain sufficient altitude to escape the jamming field. Once above and away from the furball he made another quick sweep, looking for his wingman; following solo protocol, Smalls had done the same, climbing nearly to the maximum operational altitude of his K-39 Gryphon.

"Bugs here. You get anything?"

"Couple of radar sweeps, Bugs. Then the drumkit started up."

"Yeah." The two planes formed up and descended again under the radar, to remain under EMCON all the way back to Treasure Island. "You have any idea what was going on there?"

"I picked up a downed plane, probably a seven-four-seven by the profile. And a lot of birds -- Natos, Migs, suchlike."

"Weird. They were fighting over that downed plane?"

"Seems pretty inconsequential if you ask me."

"I've seen stranger things. Wars over fishing boats.... over whaling."

The grey paint of the planes reflects no water, but the nightdark sea is under it, and goes on in all directions as far as the eye can see.

~ Mouse Island, Saevitia ~

The information would eventually get to Frederickstown, but not, it was likely, until morning at least. It was not important enough, only worth a minor note on the Council of Lords' morning meeting. Here at Mouse Island, three or four hundred nautical miles south and a little east from Treasure Island, it would reach the Provincial Authority; its main city, Nártas, was capital of Northwest Province, under whose jurisdiction Treasure Island and Western Command technically fell.

Thus, Western Command identified the combatants where possible, and passed the information on to a minor official of the Authority, who wrote and signed a brief message in the Governor's name.

The Provincial Authority of Northwest Province, of the Constitutional Sovereignty of the Saevitian Archipelago, has noted with some concern an aerial skirmish occurring less than two hundred nautical miles from Saevitian waters.

Whilst all due precautions will of course be taken by Western Command to ensure the safety and security of all Saevitians and Saevitian shipping, we must request information regarding the origins of this conflict, as it threatens to destabilize the region should it evolve into full-scale war and the involved powers do not seem to have shown any particular animosity towards one another prior to this point in time. If its causes prove to be minor and its eruption preventable, we invite the involved parties to settle negotiations on neutral, Saevitian soil, should they so desire.

[OOC: Okay, wow, lots of issues with the following threads. Where to start?]

"Were goin down" Yelled the pilot on puma 1 as the chopper spiralled out of control eploding just before it hit the rough sea...

"Thats it people... peace keeping chopper has been shot down, tell all aircrafts to take attack formation pronto!"

With that the F-16's went into attack formation as did the harriers and the apache choppers

"This is F-16 Knight 3, Target locked on a Aquidneckia F/A 18 This is Knight 3 Firing!"

The Missle Was Realesed...

Communication to DT, It seems were here for the same reasons requesting to join forces and put an end to this conflict?

[OOC: What hit the helicopter? Also, there are no Aquidneckese F/A 18s, at all, in existence, anywhere, so I don't know what you are shooting at?]

DANIELS ISLAND M.O.D

"Sir we have response from the D.I 21 ARK..."

"Whats the Sit?"

"One of our choppers has been shot down believed to be Puma 1... also there requesting more Air support..."

"I dont see a problem with more Air support, The Air Force is our strongest Force... send whats neccersary"

"This is developing into a pretty serious war you know..." Said a voice as a middle aged man enetered the office...

"I was wondering when you were gonna get involved" Said the young man seated at the desk with a smile on his face...

"Well Im only ever one office away" Said the secretary of peace...

"Look if we pul out now we go against all we stand by and Im not going to allow that to happen... we more n likely have one of the most skilled air forces in this war and we arnt going to retreat!"

"Okay understood but dont come running to me when we need another peace treaty"

"You should show more faith in your country" Said the young man

"Its not a lack of faith in my country Its the leadership!" The man said as he walked out the office

"I'll give the orders said the young man to his secretary"

FOREST ISLAND S.A.S AIRBASE

"Sir we have our orders..."

*Time Later*

4 - F-16's

4 YF Cobras

4 Panavia Tornado F3's

And 2 EF - 2000 Eurofighter's

All Lead by 1 Eurofighter Typhoon F2, Known as Spartan Leader

All in thier attack formation... Headed for the Conflict...

"Okay Lets show these guys how we really do things" Spartan leader

Meanwhile on the D.I 21 ARK

"Thats its people lets power up our engines and move out of this warzone, get on to the choppers and tell them to take Landing! our boys are on there way!"

As the D.I 21 ARK powered up its engines, the one of the two Project 641 (Foxtrot) Class submarines took up a position following in its wake, where Sonar detection would be the hardest.

Minoria Air Base
Maniylad, Philippiniada
03:34PM Local Time PST

After the communique has been sent. Two fighter squadrons consisting of Philippinian Eagle 02 (Sukhoi SU-30M Build) fully armed and battle ready has been readied for immediate takeoff with destination 247,101. In the map it reads "Four Heatons Borderlands". The Director of the IIA has authorized the mission.

Captain Parker will be leading the charge. Their mission is to successfully make a roundtrip from Maniylad, Philippiniada to the Heaton's Territory.

The IIA has been on standby on the desk of OIC in the Airbase. With every word that the boys at IIA will definitely change the scene on the Airbase. For the first time since the Great Civil War of 1992. A code red would be announced in the Airbase named after a great civil war hero. The people at the airbase hold their breaths for the decision of the President...

[OOC: The current situation is near the Aquidneckese Islands, not the Four Heatons, so I don't know why you are sending aircraft there.]

At that moment, the Virginia Class Submarine sent a transmission to the Daniels Island Fighters. It read:
<Daniels Island fighter planes, state your objectives and purpose. If your mission harms this submarine or any Four Heatons planes, we will fire. The cause of this battle was an unprovoked attack on a Four Heatons Airlines 747, a civilian aircraft, resulting in over 350 deaths. If you attack us or any of our allies, we WILL fire missiles at any of you. This is a Virginia Class Submarine, I repeat, a VIRGINIA CLASS submarine. We also have a Nimitz class carrier on the way here. If you wish to remain unharmed, do not fire.

The other Foxtrot Class Submarine, which picked up the transmission from the unidentified submarine, operating in Aquidneckese territorial waters, went to general quarters, quickly loading, and flooding the bow torpedo tubes, while a firing solution was plotted, from a composite of the passive sonar, and bearing of the source of the radio message.

"This is Spartan Leader, hold fire! I repeat hold fire! turn your attenions to defending Four Heatons aircrafts! we have a Virginia Class Sub giving us direct orders.."

"Spartan Leader this is Spartan 1.. why are we doing what they tell us too?"

"Because we are a peacekeeping nation and it is The Four Heatons that are under attack!"

"Understood"

With that the D.I Advance Air Attack focused on the Enemy Aquidneckia

Direct Communication
To: Pyshoria
From: Spartan Leader (D.I-S.A.S)
Subject:Current Combat

Pyshoria and The Four Heatons can count on Daniels Island for Aid, Daniels Islands involvement Is STRICTLY peace only any threat to The Four Heatons shall be delt with by D.I

This message, was also picked up by Aquidneckese forces in the area. An encrypted transmission was quickly dispatched, via an ELF band to the Foxtrot class submarine tailing the D.I 21 ARK. The message, when decoded, ordered them to attack. The Foxtrot, loaded, then flooded tubes two and four, and launched two 53-65 torpedo, at close range, towards the D.I 21 ARK.

Just 50 nautical miles north of Treasure Island, the P.A.F.N. cougar, a Nimitz Class carrier, had just received the rescued civilians. They were about to leave on a flight organized by the admiral of the ship. This would take them back to the Four Heatons. But before that happened, 15 fighters, plus 2 Apache helicopters, lifted off and flew to the battle. The fighters were comprised of 1 squad of 5 F-35s, codenamed cheetah, and two squads of 5 F-15 interceptors, codenamed lion 1 and 2. They were followed by two pyshorian made attack submarines, who were in the ocelot class. They had a top speed of 35 knots, and were fitted with the Barracuda Prototype torpedoes. These torpedoes were seeing their first action. They could travel at 1.2 times the speed of sound, making them un-traceable by sonar, but were smaller than most torpedoes. With their mission carried out, the leopard and the cougar headed back to Pyshoria.

[OOC: what rescued civilians? The ones sitting in lifeboats, being loaded onto an Aquidneckese Coast Guard Cutter, or the ones being taken by helicopter to shore facilities for further medical treatment?]

Of the 8 Super Hornets escorting the two AWACS planes, 4 were EA-18G Growler variants luanched to carry out electronic jamming on the area. Each carried five ALQ-99 jamming pods and were equipped with the INCANS Interference Cancellation system. The jamming provided by these planes intercepts and jams all radio communication between aircraft and is effective in neutralizing most surface-to-air missiles.

The Growlers broke formation to blanket the contested airspace, dampening all combat actions. Furthermore, the 5 B-52s deployed their towable countermeasure dummies. When activated, these dummies presented a radar signature 20x the size of the plane they followed. To the aircraft currrently dogfighting one another and all the planes inbound to intervene, the sky around them would now be an incomprehesible blanket of radar beams and scrambled radio chatter. Acquiring and locking on to targets would now be extremely difficult, especially with the amount of computer and external targeting required in modern planes.

The only exception was that Four Heaton's communications with its seemingly rogue pilot were forwarded through the jamming so they could resolved the unfolding crisis.

The interference made the Su-15s radar useless, the same as the information from the datalink with shore radar. Luckily the Su-15 pilots didn't rely to heavily on radar for areal engagements.

At that moment, area pinpointed by the radar disturbance, the P.A.F.N. F-35s swooped in. In the constant array of radar beams just decreased their radar sign, due to the incorporated stealth tachnology. The acute radar system was able to give the F-35s just enough of a signal to understand the area, though the radar scrambling made it almost incomprehensible. They eventually pinpointed the Aquidneckian Mig-21s, which were soaring above the radar mess. The F-35s quickly gained on the Migs, and fired their heat-seeking sidewinder missiles.

[OOC: the MiG-21bis are going faster than the maximum speed achievable by the F-35, so they can't be gaining on them, nice try though]

The Wolf Hold

14-02-2009, 14:47

(OOC: Hope you don't mind)

Cruising through the serene waters of the ocean was Task Force 28 Of the Armed Republic of the Wolf Hold. The flagship of the Task Force was an updated Iowa Class Battleship supported by a Carrier and 4 Heavy Cruisers, 2 Aegis Cruisers and 6 Frigates. They were escorting a Wolf Hold Marine Expeditionary Unit that was going to provide medical supplies to a Island which had recently been hit by severe storms. As they cleared a particular bad piece of radar and sonar disturbance, the klaxons on all the ships began to blare as there sonar and radar lit up with contacts.

CIC, WHS White Fang, Iowa Class Battleship, Task force 28

"Captain we have multiple contacts on Radar, same with sonar! We have multiple unidentified aircraft duking it out to the northwest, sonar reports multiple surface contacts!" The runner was breathless as he relayed this information to the Captain of the White Fang. A veteran of many battles in service to his nation the Captain quickly took reacted to this new development.

Picking up the ships phone and changing it to the All Ships Frequency "Attention this is the Flagship defensive formation, I repeat Defensive formation, All hands to battle stations! This is not a Drill! This is Not a Drill!" Placing the receiver back down, he moved to the status board which displayed the movements and dispositions of his forces. The board suddenly lit up as the ships changed from station holding to full battle readiness and the carrier launched its 2 F/A-18 Squadron supported by a squadron of Rafle Ms. A total of 18 planes. Glancing over at his adjutant, he growled "Get the radio set to full broadcast!" As the adjutant hurried to complete the order, the rest of the bridge crew were waiting for the next order, all except a radio operator who was sending off a contact report to Wolf Hold Central Command. "Radio is ready sir!" yelled the adjutant. Walking back over to the radio broadcaster, picking up the receiver and began to speak.

"This is Task force 28 of the Armed Republic of the Wolf Hold. We are escorting medical supplies to an island and we are neutral, I repeat Neutral! However any attempt to belay or detain us will be seen as an act of war!"

Daniels Island

14-02-2009, 15:06

"Spartan leader come in" said "Knight 8"

"This is Spartan leader send over"

"Looks like theres more company here appears to be another nation" Said Knight 8 as his YF Cobra Screeched over the top of carrier

"Its a friendly, Knight 8 I repeat a friendly do not take fire concerntrate on the Aquidneckia!"

"Frienldy ship this is Spartan leader, you are entering a warzone we strongly reccomend you select a different route" just as the Euro typhoon pilot sent this message,

"Mayday Mayday! Cougar 2 Going down!!!" Screamed a D.I F-16 Pilot, He had been hit in the crossfire of the aircrafts...

The F-16 crash landed, exploding on to dock of the Wolf hold carrier

(OOC: you can decide weather much damage was taken or not)

CIC, WHS White Fang

As the Garbled messages came over the radio the tech tried to clear up the transmission, "friendly......*static*......warzone...*static*....route..." Was all that got through, "say again, we did not get that, repeat radio transmission" The tech looked hopelessly up at the captain as he tried to regain the pilot. Needing a better look at the situation the captain climbed the ladder to the bridge just in time to see a fireball erupt from the deck of the Carrier WHS Stronghold. shaking his head to regain his senses, "What the hell was that? What hit us?" A tech listening to his radio intently called out "Unidentified fighter went out of control and crashed into one of the hangers, they detonated a pertly filled ammo store, report from the Stronghold reports they are taking on water and listing slightly, severe flooding in decks F through to D." Cursing the captain picked up the radio recover and spoke "this is the Flagship all, form up in defensive formation around the Stronghold, MEU is to set full steam for Port Palla!" Putting the receiver down he stared on in horror at the listing carrier.

DI.21 Ark

Open Transmission

Request For HELP...

"This Is The D.I 21 Ark, Requesting Help, We Are Taking On Large Amounts Of Water! Is There Anybody Who Can Provide Rescue, I Repeat We Need Rescue Help!" the Captain yelled trying to have his voice heard over the loud alarm,

"Man the lifeboats! Now!" He yelled to his LT "We don't have much time!"

Just as the x2 Apache Helicopters and the Remaining puma Chopper were taking off the first apache was shot down as the buring heap of metal spiralled furiously heading for the tower!

As the captain saw the chopper heading towards him he didnt say nothing...

It was met with a huge explosion causing flames to fly all over the carrier, and the loose propellars taking out the other apache...

Only the puma chopper was left out of the orginal 4

"Lets get back to base now!" Said the Pilot

"We dont have enough fuel!!!" Yelled the Co Pilot

"Well Im not going to wait hear and die!"

With as many passengers the puma could hold It left the burning Ark and headed out of the warzone!

"This is spartan leader"

Cougar 3 and 4 Escort that Puma outta here!

"Yes sir" Said Cougar 3 one of the F-16 Pilots
"Affirmative" Said the other

"WHS White Fang, this is DT AWACS controller Red-Alpha. Proceed out of the battlezone heading 2-5-7 degrees, flight Red-209 will escort you to saftey. Please disengage all active radar and tracking equipment."

Flight Red-209, a Super Hornet and Growler, broke away from the fighting to cover the fleeing ships. The DT command was quickly lending its services to prevent further loss of life. Since its attempts to put an end to the conflict had failed, it was now concerned with moving as many parties as possible away from the battle.

Even as radio signals from all the other involved parties were eaten up by the AQ-99 pods, so did they recieve the distress call from the Daniels Island ship.

The second DT AWACS plane sent out a message to the stricken ship: "DI.21 ARK, DT ships are headed for your position. Repeat, friendly ships are headed to your position. Radio back the position of your aggressors." A pair of F/A-18s (again a fighter and EW variant) buzzed the stricken ship to show their support. Then a second communication went out to the helicoptor: "Daniels Island helicoptor, turn to heading 2-5-6, the DTS Idyllic 2 kilometers away can accomodate you."

2 kilometers in the given direction the 2nd Strategic Defense Fleet cruised from the DT naval base towards the battle. From it, a dozen Um al Maradim Fast Assault ships as well as seven FFG-7 Frigates steamed ahead to rescue the survivors of the stricken ARK. The whole fleet consisted of:
25x Um al Maradim Fast Assualt Ship
1x Iowa Class Battleship
10x Longboat-E Battlecruiser
15x FFG-7 Frigate

CIC, WHS White Fang

"Aknowledged Red-Alpha, We are sending the MEU and a Heavy Cruiser and an Ageis on that bearing however the WHS Stronghold has been imoblised and can not move, the remainder of the Fleet is staying put awaiting reinforcements from Task Force 34, we are however standing down are offensive batteries" The radio tech apoke over the hive of activity that was the White Fangs CIC. Another technician called out from another console "Sir we have a destress call from a DI 21 Ark, should we send help?" Turning around slightly the Captain nodded, "Yes, Deploy the Sea Hawks from the Crusiers...Oh and whats the ETA of Task Force 34?" His adjutant replied "ETA is 30 minutes, Sir!"

Task Force 34....30 Minutes out

Task Force 34 of the Armed Republic of The Wolf Hold consisted of 2 Carriers, 1 Salvage ship, 2 Battle Cruisers and 8 Heavy Frigates. There grey hulls cut through the breaking waves, Klaxons began to ring as the PA system on the ships crakled. "All hands approching engament zone, Battle Stations, Battle Stations, Lauch Echo through to Victor flights, Establish CAP over Task Force 24, That is all"

In response to the order, the 6 Flights of 6 F/A-18s took off from the carriers, Supported by 1 AWACS that had been flying alongside the fleet, a Prowler squadron and 2 squadrons of Rafle Ms.

The Four Heatons

14-02-2009, 18:29

All the Four Heaton's F-18's, save for the rouge pilot had turned and headed back for the carrier, which was just entering the area. They landed and 16 more took off within then minutes and began to fly in the area around the carrier as the Admiral sent out a message.
This is the RBS Excellence, we are here to investigate both the destruction of our Civvilian aircraft and the actions of LT Thomas Yates, any further attack will be met with the ultimate force, however we do not wish for such a confronataion

14-02-2009, 18:35

"Helps on the way" Yelled the LT of the D.I 21 Ark...

"this is the pilot of the Puma... Help Acknowledged and were grateful for the support heading to 2 5 6 for Landing"

"Spartan Leader this is cougar 3 and 4 returning to battle"

"Thats a NEGATIVE!" Replied spartan leader Escort the WHS White Fang Along with the DT

"DT This is Cougar 3 of Daniels Island offering x2 F-16 Assistance of Escorting the Freindly Whs Out of here?"

14-02-2009, 18:42

The Carriers four cruisers moved into a grid defense pattern, the eight destroyers staggered themselves off, teh frigates simply placed themselves around the fleet.

Task Force 24

"RBS Excellence this is the WHS White Fang, we are escorting AID to a disaster struck Island, however we now have an immobilised carrier, from what we can gather the plane that crashed into us was shot down by your fighters. We are also assisting Daniels Island ships in the area, so unless you intend to help get the hell of this frequency!" The Captain was not in a good mood, this Four Heaton’s carrier captain thought he could just issue threats after crippling two aircraft carriers, well he had another thing coming. "ETA on Task force 34?" called the XO "15 minutes sir! Also there jets are arriving now sir, where do you want them?" Replied a naval rating. "Deploy half of them as CAP over the stronghold and the other half escorting the Helicopters over at DI 21" The Captain pointing at each location on the status board.

The 8 F/A-18 and 6 Rafle Ms supported by 2 Prowlers hit there after burners and established a CAP above the DI 21 Ark, underneath this air cover flew the 6 Sea Hawks. "This is search and rescue Command to Daniel Island Command, can you tell your men who need CASVAC to pop smoke"

(OOC) Aquineckia, ask yourself this: How can an aircraft from the 1970s outspeed a modern F-35? Being an aircraft, not army or navy, but aircraft expert, I know the F-35 can reach Mach 3.8, while the to speed for the ancient Mig-21s is Mach 2. Plus, since the Mig-21 has a somewhat blunt nose, it occasionally disintegrates at that speed.

((OOC: Well, first of all, the Mig-21Bi has the "Super Afterburner" feature (Though its engines actually do get destroyed while doing this). Without that, it can still go at 1,385 MPH (Mach 2.1). The F-35's maximum recorded speed was 1,200 MPH (Mach 1.6, approximately). Also, the MiG-21 was made in 1959, not the 70's. Its nose is actually relatively sharp, which leads me to believe that you have the wrong MiG in mind. Remember; the F-35 was made more like a strike aircraft, not an air superiority fighter.

Should've gone with with the F-22 and F-23, good sire.))

Upon noticing continous conflict, the P.A.F.N. Cougar returned to the scene. It was escort by the P.A.F.N. Wildcat and Puma, two heavy destroyers. The Cougar launched a transmission to the WHS white fang, as the pyshorian planes landed to refuel. Since it had not arrived during the period that the Cougar was there, the admiral was worried that it was another threat.

<Transmission>
Wolf Hold armed vessel, state your mission and objectives. As long as you pose no threat, we will not fire.

Pyshoria

14-02-2009, 19:50

(OOC) Still, since the MIGs were in the air for quite a while, they would need to be refueled, and there is no Aquidneckiese carrier nearby, they should run out of fuel. Plus, the MIG does not a large amount of fuel, as it was primarily designed as a interceptor.

14-02-2009, 19:56

"Yet another person issuing threats in the face of superior force!" The Captain Growled and picked up the radio transmitter "This is the WHS Wolf Fang of Task Forces 24 and 34, we were deliving Aid to a disater zone however now we are engaged in Mutual assistance with Daniels Island Forces after Four Heatons forces imobilsed one of my carriers and hit one of the Daniels Island Carriers" Slamming the transmitter down, he picked up the ships phone "This is the Flagship, Task force 24 is to form a barrier between DI and WH forces and Four Heatons ships, whilst Task force 34 is to do the same but to block Physhoria Naval Vessels. That is all"

The 5 Heavy Destroyers and 1 Aegis Cruiser began to place themselves between the crippled DI carrier and the Four Heatons Ships, whilst the newly arrived Task Force 34s 2 Battle Cruisers and 8 Frigates placed themselves infronnt of the Physhoria Naval vessels.

"We've received no responses, Major," said the young man at the first terminal.

"Hmmmm...." The Major in command at present rubbed his unshaven chin and stared into the dark sludge that passed for coffee grounds occupying the bottom of his mug. "Not one? We've identified at least four different military units in the area."

The young man remained silent; that hadn't sounded like a question. And indeed, the Major continued a moment later.

"I suppose we should direct another transmission at the contested area itself. A narrow band transmission, obviously." He pulled over the laptop and began to type. A few minutes later the ships and planes in the area received an incoming radio transmission, open, and originating from a small island two hundred nautical miles or so to the southeast.

Attention all combatants, this is Western Command (stop) Your actions have been brought to the attentions of the CSSA (stop) Immediately disengage and cease fire, repeat, disengage and cease fire (stop) We have targeting solutions on all combatants, repeat, targeting solutions on all combatants, take aggressive actions and you will be destroyed (stop) Now explain your current situation, directing all transmissions to Western Command (full stop)

As the rescue detatchment from the DT fleet came within range, seven SH-60 Sea Hawks luanched from the FFG-7s, joining the Wolf Hold to find survivors. The Um al Maradim's weren't far from the reck and prepared inflatable rescue rafts to pull the DI sailors out of the water and onto their ships.

Circling above, an EA-18G Growler intercepted the Saevitian transmission as it was jammed. The signal was processed and listened to on one of the E-3 Sentrys. It was relayed to command and an appropriat response was sent back and the original message forwarded out to all parties.

To Saevitian Western Command
Your assistance in this manner is not required, nor will your threats be appeased. All your active targeting devices have been detected by EW aircraft and any weapons release on your part will result in their complete destruction. Long range weapons are prepared to intervene on any attack you submit to this conflict.

"Sir.....We have another transmission.....from Saevitian Western Command...they are asking all combatants to disengage and withdraw." The Radio tech watched as his captains face turned a red in anger. Slamming his fist into the command console he cursed loudly, "Why in the name of god does everyone presume to give us orders!" Walking over to the radio desk he sent back a reply.

[Start Transmission]
To Saevitian Western Command
This is the WHS White Fang, you are about the 3rd person to order me to disengage, So I will repeat my self for the last time, we are currently occupied in the rescuing of one of our carriers damaged in the engagement and we are also rescuing sailors of the Daniel Islands Carrier. If I detect any missile launches, the missiles will be shot down by my air power and we will consider it an act of war upon our republic. Now why don’t you go do something useful like polishing your brass and leave the fighting to the real militaries. [End Transmission]

In the mean time, the Wolf Hold Sea Hawks were picking up the stranded DI sailors supported by DT S&R teams, the S&R Co-ordinator sent a flash to the DT ships.

[Priority Flash for Deserted territory S&R Teams]

Recommend directing your S&R teams to the north west of the ship, our teams have the other sides covered, also the WHS Firefly is ready to take on wounded sailors.

The Major had refilled his cup of coffee. As he read the new incoming messages he allowed himself a small smile. "Ah. See, now they pay attention. I always said the Governor couldn't keep an audience awake if he was paying them to be there."

"Sir? Any orders?" The young man at the first terminal raised his head. "Do you want me to launch any missiles?"

"What? No, of course not," the Major assured him. "Waste missiles on something like that? Do you know how expensive those things are to produce? Seriously, whose dumb idea was it to develop a surface-to-air missile with a nine hundred kilometre range?" He shook his head. "Anyway, there hasn't been any shooting going on since we sent it out. Put me back on the line."

Thank you for being so willing to submit to our orders (stop) We appreciate that disengagement may require some time due to damage sustained and rescue operations, but are pleased that you have chosen to cease fire rather than risking the wrath of the CSSA (stop) We are especially interested to hear from the Aquidneckians, in whose national waters this dispute appears to have originated (stop) once again please direct all future transmissions to Western Command (full stop)

"Some one needs to get over their power trip" the captain remarked about the Western Command, "Oh and the Four Heatons put it down as slander, Ill give them slander....Get me Wolf Flight" The Radio tech flicked a few switches and announced "Wolf Flight on the line, sir"

"Wolf Flight this is the flag ship, turn to bearing 234-567 and hit attack speed, I want you to buzz those Four Heaton ships" The captain smirked with satisfaction as the reply came back "Of course sir, Wolf Flight detaching from CAP and going afterburner" The 6 Rafle Ms detached from the CAP formation and began rapidly accelerating towards the Four Heatons Ships, attack radars searching out missile vectors.

The Four Heatons

14-02-2009, 22:49

"What the hell are they doing?" THe XO asked in astonishment before speaking into the comm system to the entire fleet "General Quarters, all hands man battlestations"
"What's going on?" THe Admiral asked as he came out of the ready room.
"We've got Jets on an attack heading, reading missile searchs" The XO reported.
"Re-direct the CAP, and lock our SAM's onto those planes!"

<CAP>

The 16 F/A 18's on the CAP turned, almost as one, towards the incoming jets and worked quickly to gain missile locks, their orders were to fire if they breached three miles, currently they were at 3.2 miles, the pilots fingers tensed on the triggers...

The Wolf Hold

14-02-2009, 23:26

"Thats close enough Wolf Flight, deactivate radar, but hold postion, If four Heatons aircraft become hostile you have a free fire order" The Captain was satisfied, he had scared the Four heatons ships into deploying there CAP against Wolf Flight and drawing them away from the actual ships. "Ok give me Fox and Raccon Flights" The radio tech flicked the switches and nodded. "Fox, Raccon you saw Wolf Flights buzz, I want you to do the same from tow differnt vectors gor for the carrier." Placing the radio back down he picked up the ships phone, "This is the Flagship all units activate Target aquisition radars and turn on active sonar, That is all"

The 12 F/A-18s detached from the CAP nd set off on differnt vectors for the Four Heatons Carrier. At the same time the audible Ping...Ping...Ping could be heard as the Wolfs hold ships activated there Active Sonar.

"The Wold Hold is attacking Four Heatons aircraft and vessels!" screamed the admiral, "Launch all planes in defense of the Four Heatons!!! Darn those people and their false accusations!!! Fire at any and all WH ships!!!" At the admirals's orders, Lion Squads 1 and 2, along with cheetah and bengal (5 F-22 Raptors). Meanwhile, staying underwater, the nearly forgotten ocelot submarines prepared to launch their torpedoes.

"Oh and get on the horn to Port Palla we could use their F-22s" A weapons technicain the nooded at somthing oveer his radio, "Sir target resolutions for all guns and missiles all we need id the order to fire"

The Wolf Hold ships were comming to life, Kalxons blaring aircraft taking off the two carriers, reaching a total of 30 F/A-15s 20 Rafle Ms, 20 Prowlers and 10 F-15 Tomcats. Not to forget the AWACS in the area.

"What are we looking at Bill?" The Admiral asked
"80ish jets, some eagles and tomcats, nothing we can't handle" THe XO replied
"Issue the following battle orders, all aircraft, oncec they engage, bring the enemy jets into range of the fleets SAM's, our surface ships are to target the enemy escorts first, subs engage the enemy carrier" The Admiral ordered "All hold until the order is given, one more provocation and we'll be more than justified in opening fire"

The Four Heatons fleet is meerly defending itself from hostile acts by the Wolf hold, following, hasten to act, our standing down whilst we investigate the shooting down of our aircraft which appears to have taken a back seat. Following the death of our 'rouge' pilot, we adopted a more diplomatic stance. The Wolf Hold then proceded to over fly our fleet and get target lock on our ships, we feel justified in taking defensive measures.

If you believe it is justified to attack the planes in this case, why isn't it justified for Aquidneckia to shoot down an unidentified aircraft trespassing into their country? As far as they were concerned, the plane could've been a Strategic Bomber carrying nuclear or Bio/Chemical weapons.

The situation wouldn't be happening in the first place if both sides had listened to our response! Besides, a Naval Commander would know to have the damaged ships towed away from the theater, instead of launching "mock" (Though they do appear to be very real) attacks against a fleet that possibly is trying to kill them.

15-02-2009, 02:06

(OOC: I got a little lost my bad,Somebody said they fired at one of the D.I choppers being the Puma)

There was a huge rumble on the D.I 21 Ark,

"Weve been hit!" Yelled the captain "shut the section which are taking on water and radio over to base! now"

FOREST ISLAND NAVAL BASE

"Sir, we have contact from the D.I 21 Ark... They've been hit,"

"Get on to the Air Base! there suppose to be supplying protection!"

"We have ships close by?"

" No sir! "

"Tell the Ark they'll have to do an open comm and send over to other ships within reach for resucue..." we wont get there in time "

Meanwhile In Near The Aquidneckese Islands

The Euro Typhoon F2 has an SU-15 Locked on through all the aircraft firing Spartan leader kept his composure...

"Spartan Leader Firing!"

As the missle screamed towards the Su-15

D.I YF Cobra was close on the other SU-15's tale,

"This is Knight 7, Tailing a enemy SU-15 wont belong till he's out the sky"

The Su-15 was hit, and exploded into a fireball.

All the Four Heaton's F-18's, save for the rouge pilot had turned and headed back for the carrier, which was just entering the area. They landed and 16 more took off within then minutes and began to fly in the area around the carrier as the Admiral sent out a message.
This is the RBS Excellence, we are here to investigate both the destruction of our Civvilian aircraft and the actions of LT Thomas Yates, any further attack will be met with the ultimate force, however we do not wish for such a confronataion

The MiG-21bis, and Su-15s did not pursue the retreating aircraft, and turned their attention to the other attacking aircraft. Meanwhile one of the Su-15s, fired two Vympel R-60 missiles at LT Thomas Yates' plane.

(OOC) Still, since the MIGs were in the air for quite a while, they would need to be refueled, and there is no Aquidneckiese carrier nearby, they should run out of fuel. Plus, the MIG does not a large amount of fuel, as it was primarily designed as a interceptor.

[OOC: Actually, seeing as we are less than 12 miles off the coast of Aquidneckia, the airbase isn't that far inland, and the MiG-21 has a range of 720 miles, I think they are pretty good right now.]

OOC- Erm Aquidneckia, the policy of shoot on sight may be slighty impratical as you have in the are of 130 combined Wolf Hold and Four Heaton planes facing each other off in your airspace, not to mention the two Wolf Hold Task forces, the Daniels Island Force and the four Heatons

~ Western Command ~

"It looks like more fighting has broken out in the area, Major. And we've intercepted transmissions from--"

The Major issued a deep sigh. "Does it look like I care, Timson? Answer me honestly."

Timson scrutinized the Major's face for a long moment. "Well, sir, it's difficult to say. The worry lines on your forehead indicate that--"

"Not. The. Point." Timson gulped. The Major leaned forward a little. "We told them to stop, they didn't, it's none of our business. We have no idea who is on whose side so we can't shoot them all and let God sort them out. We'll just issue an advisory and double CAPs over the Treasure Island area. And wait it out."

"Yes, sir."

"And don't try that kind of thing with any of the other officers. They're a lot less nice."

"Yes, sir."

They would receive no more communications from Western Command in some time. The only indication that they had that Western Command was still watching was the pair of satellites tracked to geosynchronous orbit, watching the battle unfold. One was a standard recon satellite with all the appropriate gear. The other.... wasn't. Saevitia didn't just keep a close eye on anything that could prove a threat to it.

"What in the name of Sam Hill is the Wolf Hold doing!?!" yelled the DT commander overseeing the conflict as he recieved reports of their latest actions that were sending them into a direct confrontation with Heaton forces. "Lock down all their communications, stop forwarding their radio signals through and jam everything they have that uses more power than a microwave oven."

His orders were carried out and the Wolf Hold planes in the air were cut off completely from their controllers and their ships. The holds of all five B-52s opened up to let the rotary luanchers lower themselves partially into the air stream beneath the planes. The 8 multi-role fighters also prepared to fire along with the DT fleet in the water below. An Aim-120 AMRAAM was loaded up for each Wolf Hold plane and radar painted them from every direction to set off warning sirens in the cockpits and send the message to the pilots that any aggressive action would not be tolerated.

An E-3 controller sent out a message to the Wolf Hold pilots:
"Lock weapons and return to your carriers. Agression towards Heaton forces will not be tolerated."
The only communication that would be forwarded through the jam to the pilots would be an order to stand down.

Meanwhile, combined search and rescue operations continued between DT and WH ships even as the atmosphere between them grew tense. The 40mm guns on the bow of the fast attack craft assisting in the rescue turned on the WH ship(s) (OOC: I don't remember what you have at the rescue) and Sea Skua missiles were fed firing solutions for the ships as well. Similarly the FFG-7s fed solutions to theri RIM-66 missiles and Mark-32 torpedoes as well as training their 76mm guns on the enemy.

One of the Growlers providing close air support for the rescue buzzed warningly close to the WH ship(s) to warn them of their peril. A message was sent from the DT ships to the WH ships: "Continue with rescue operations and depart when you have recovered your rescue helicoptors. Then proceed to regroup with your fleet. If any of your weapons systems are detected activating it will be considered a severe act of aggression."

Control of the situation was quickly slipping out of DT's hands. If resistance to the wishes of outside nations continued, the peacekeeping forces would undoubtedly become involved in a blood bath between the Heaton, WH, and Aquidneckia.

15-02-2009, 14:03

The rescued sailors of the D.I 21 Ark didn't know where to look, they could feel the tension between DT and WH, D.I being a peace keeping nation origionally intended to defend The Four Heatons until 2 of D.I's aircrafts were shot down in crossfire, One apache helicopter creating an explosion of Both apache aboard the Ark and one F-16 which had hurtled into WH's Carrier, One minute D.I had been fighting beside DT and WH now they were against each other...

The Remaining Aircrafts of The D.I Air Force Included:

x3 F-16's
x 4 YF Cobras
x 1 Euro Typhoon
x 12 Tornado GR4's Were only 5 minutes away on The D.I Nimtz Carrier which had made a silent and safe journey towards the battle zone to collect as many of there fellow ships sailors as possible...

The other D.I Jets had taken refuge on Friendly ships and where they could...

Spartan Leader of the Eurofighter was now incharge of all remaning D.I Air force, and 2nd Captain Hayes for the remaining Navy until the Nimtz Class Carrier arrived...

"What do we do now sir?... Its pretty hostile between these two nations" Questioned a Rating to Captain Hayes,

"I dont know what were going to do yet, for now though I want rally up all of our remaining navy and await the arrival of the D.I Carrier"

"What if the shit hits the fan?" Questioned Spartan Leader As he approached the Navy Captain..."Dt and WH are both allies of ours as are the Four Heatons..."

"Yeah I know" said the captain wishing at this moment that wasnt the case...

"I say if it does come to it our air force takes flight and just shoots at who ever shoots at us"

"Well thats the plan then" Agreed Captain Hayes feeling he wasnt going to have much say anyway...

Madam President, the situation has gotten much worse out here. One of our pilots, who lost a brother we beleive, on the airliner has gone rouge and engaged the offenders, once we arrived all aircraft were recalled except for the rouge, who has now been killed.
We have come under attack by Wolfs Hold aircraft, whilst they have not yet fired they have been extremly agressive and the opinion of the fleet captains is that if they overfly us again we should shoot them down.

Rathert than returning to the carrier, Lion, cheetah, and puma squads attacked the aquidneckiese fighers. Puma leader and Lion 3 got behind a pair of Su-15s, locked onto them, and fired their sidewinder missiles.

The Su-15s, had though everything was over, the enemy aircraft had retreated, and the thread seemed to have concluded, when two Su-15s were blow out of the sky by Pyshoria aircraft. The others quickly took evasive action, and attempted to turn the tables on the new enemy. Meanwhile the MiG-21bis, dropped down on the Pyshoria aircraft, quickly locking onto their targets, launching 5 R-73M missiles at Cheetah squadron.

While the fighting had seemed to die down, four salvage tugs, was dispatched to tow the D.I 21 Ark to the nearby Sanderson Naval Shipyard, for extensive repairs. Three Aquidneckese Coast Guard Ka-25PS helicopters were dispatched from shore stations to begin the rescue process of the Daniels Island sailors.

Most of the Four Heatons survivors had either been taken onto the ACGC North Wood, or taken by helicopter, to shore facilities for further treatment. One of the last lifeboats still in the water, was that with the flight crew in it.

The D.I Tornado GR4's Screamed through the air as they flew in attack formation...

One after another flew along the DT's Carrier taking out the marines as they ran from the ammuntion being fired...

"Take Carrier out!" Yelled Spartan Leader as his fighter ripped just above the heads of DT Carrier the targets were DT's Aircrafts placed on the carrier the GR4's continued circling and swooping into the attack of the carrier...

OOC: There is no carrier.

IC: DT commanders picked up on the DI and WH aggressions in their early stages and did not hesitate. 12 Sea Skua and 14 RIM-66 anti-ship missiles flew from the rescue boats along with the shells from their respective guns at both DI ships and WH ships assisting in the rescue operations. The rescue choppers returned to their ships and every DI sailor aboard a DT ship was taken prisoner. Even as the rescue party fired their missiles they turned and steamed back for the bulk of the fleet that was fast approaching.

In the air the fighter squadrons where already locked onto WH planes and ready to attack. The moment they were painted with radar they loosed their own own salvo of AIM-120s and jinxed away to avoid being hit. Higher above them the 5 B-52s switched their targeting to the new DI planes and fired at them as well. A missile flew at every attacking plane, two missiles for some of the WH planes.

When the enemy missiles came to bear, three of the fighters were destroyed, the missiles targeting them having broken through the radar decoys and electronic clutter, a testament to the missiles' ability. One of them was of the EW variant which left more strain on the remaining three to suppress the enemies communications. They turned up all five pods to their maximum power to fight the WH counter-electronic warfare. However, it was easy for the pods to track the resistance to the jamming back to the WH AWACS and this signal provided an unbreakable lock on the target. One of the DTS Idyllic, one of the battlecruisers, fired two RIM-174 AA missiles at the AWACS using this trageting information.

Meanwhile, one Super Hornet had broken his missile lock early, losing it in the radar dummy being towed behind a nearby Stratofortress. An attack was expected on DTs own E-3s and it moved quickly to fescort one. As it arrived, Raccoon flight was bearing on the AWACS. The pilot loaded up four TALON missile defense munitions and radioed to the fleet below. "This is Bumblebee-4. Requesting sea support to engage hostiles south of Red-Alpha."

The Idyllic responded. "Affirmative Bumblebee-4, luanching now." A pair of RIM-66s flew from the decks of the Idyllic to each of the planes in Racoon flight. And still there were luanchers and missile to spare. The 13 Um al Maradim assault ships left with the main fleet fired their Mistral surface-to-air missiles at the DI GR4's buzzing around the fleet.

On the bridge of the small fleet's flag ship, Admiral Montcalm was not surprised to hear the reports of the attacks. He remarked this to the captain. "I knew they were fools the moment we sailed in. Even as tensions rose dangerously high they continued to harrass and attack each other. This misunderstanding has been blown far out of proportion," he sighed.
"Yes, I agree Admiral. But we are embroiled quite heavily in this conflict now," the captain, a stout man by the name of Richard.
"Now that we have been attacked, they will have to feel the brunt of our nations might.," Montcalm surmised. "Open fire on both their fleets, I will call for additional ships."

The 2nd Strategic Defense fleet, though the smallest formation in the DT navy, was by no means lacking in fire power. Meant as a show of force as much as it was to decimate the enemy ships, the salvo Captain Richard prepared is best described as overkill, even considering the larger fleets of the enemies it targeted. 720 missiles launched from the battlecruisers alone split at a ratio of 2:1 between C-802 AShM and Tomahawk SSM, all but 120 at the distant WH fleet. The remaining 120 headed towrads the much nearer DI fleet along with 26 Sea Skua antiship missiles and 16 Harpoon anti-ship missiles from the support craft. The DI ships were also in range of the fleets bigger guns, the 10 Battlecruisers firing their 250mm and 140mm cannons along with the battleships 9x Mark 7 guns, 12x Mark 12 guns and 32 BGM-109 Tomahawk cruise missiles and 16 Harpoon anti-ship missiles.

For a grand total of 600 missiles at WH and 210 missiles at DI plus the fleet's combined broadside.

But even as this terrifying and expensive cloud of destruction rose from the decks of the DT fleet, 16 F-22 Raptor air superiority fighters took off from the DT base to intercept enemy fighters in the next stage of the battle and replacments for the Super Hornets and Growlers followed suit.

Over the defening sound of the battleships broadside, Admiral Montcalm struggled to concentrate on the message he was writing. He wrote back to central command to send any available ships to aid his fleet. Even as he put the finishing touches on the communications and sent it out he knew what the response would be.
1) The closest reinforcements were 24 hours away, around the mainland and in the waters closer to Deserted Territories. But that was no problem, he was sure he could hold the enemies off long enough, if they didn't turn tail when they saw what was coming. Which brought him to point number 2.
2) He knew the only fleet not currently engaged in some other crisis happened to be DT's largest fleet, the 1st Conflict Intervention Fleet. It was made up of mostly smaller ships, but losts of them, designed for force projection. It would serve quite handy in this conflict.

Your forces in the waters surrounding Aquidneckia have been considered hostile towards the welfare of the Deserted Territories and her territories as well as insubordinate towards her authority. A state of war now exists between your nation and ours. The Sultan is expected to sign open submarine warfare orders shortly. It is politely suggested that you issue an advisory to any of your populace planning to set to sea in the coming days and months. If you do not, the DT Department of Defense will take out ads in your major newspapers and warn your citizens for you.

[OOC: I wouldn't say helping, so much as taking prisoners, and salvaging a ship that was basically abandoned in our waters. I'm sure a negotiated can be worked out later, however, we still have your transmission ordering attacks on us. Right now, we are cleaning up our shore line, I.E. removing large pieces of scrap metal, and survivors. Once the Four Heatons' planes turned back, we were ready to go back to business as normal, however, the other planes attacked us, so, the fight continues. By the way, you don't really know we are taking your ship as our own, or that your crew will be prisoners, we haven't really said anything, which isn't helped by the DT communications/radar jamming. However, we could be persuaded to join your side, which would be of great help, as the is all happening but a short distance from long, runways, and plenty of jet fuel, under the safe cover of SAM emplacements.]

CIC, WHS White Fang

The Alarms onboard the WHS White Fang began to sound, as multiple missiles warnings sounded off, "Launch missiles on counter bearings, bring the CIWS online, get all deck guns firing, vector Eagle flight to take out the larger missiles, Get the WHS Wolf Hide to launch its cruise missiles!" The Captain yelled out orders as he was bombarded by warnings! "Sir, Four Heatons ships are going Hostile!" A radar tech called out, "Have the Kirovs engage them! Swing that Ageis Class around to protect their Flank!" Picking up the ships phone he adressed the fleet "This is the Flagship, Enage at will, lauch all missiles! All Planes enage DT and FH forces at will!" Cracking his neck the captain ran over to the status board, He watched as hostile missiles disaperead of the screen to be replaced by his own. "Sir WHS Stronghold reports they have 4 missiles incomming which they can't stop!" slamming his fist down he climbed the ladder to the bridge and watched the four missiles streaking for the WHS Stronghold. They hit the ships deck in a giant ball of fire and balck smoke.

The Wolf Hold Task Force responed to the incomming missile with an equal barrage of missiles, the Missile crusisers emptied their magazines at the DT ships, most of the DT missiles were shot down however some got through.
Missiles streaked through the heavy amount of CIWS fire that was put up and 3 managed to find there target on a Kirov Class damaging it severly whislt another 4 sunk the WHS Free Force, the S&R ship that had been rescuing DI Sailors.

"All units FIRE!" The Admiral ordered

The Groups F/A-18's engaged afterburners and swooped onto the Wolfs Hold fleet. Half the group headed for the CAP and engaged them, the second half headed for the Carriers, and launched missiles.

All the surface ships fired Harpoon Missiles at the enemy fleet, followed by a combined salvo from all their main guns. About half the firepower was aimed at the enemy carriers, the other half was at their escorts.

The Seawolf subs fired a brace of torpedos each at the enemy carriers.

"Rotate CIWS targeting systems, all anti-aircraft, engage the DI planes" The Admiral ordered, the CIWS system came on line. From the Wasp Class ship leaped 18 Harrier jets. They soared from the Deck and right into the DI planes. With the help of the ship based Launchers they fired two AIM-120's, thats 36 AIM-120's and followed by two AIM-9's each. Around 50 missiles were fired from the ships.
"Report!" The Admiral ordered as he watched as a frigate was hit by one of the missiles that made it through.
"We managed to take down most of the incoming missiles "Three frigates damaged, two destroyers and one cruiser"
"Where's our back-up?"
"The FHS Dreamfall and task force Espiolon are en-route, ETA ten mintes" The XO replied "Thank god commmand redirected them"

"Have all anti-aircraft batteries go to plan theta 2-0, the enemy is using a Tringo type stratergy" The Admiral ordered to the calm of the bridge.

<Harrier Squadron>

The Harriers with enemy's on their tails, as one applied air brakes and pulled up. The enemy pursures roared past them and into their sights. They fired three AIM-132's at the enemy, nearly 60 missiles in total, before switching to guns and firing at anything that was left.

<F/A-18 Pair>

The Trailing jet was destroyed but the leading one was able to get missile locks on all four B-52's one after the other, each had an AIM-120 speeding towards it. The F/A-18 then took a missile to it's engines sending it heading for the sea.

<FHS Excellene Aircraft>

The Aircraft took hits as they launched anti-ship missiles at the Daniel's islands flagship. Thirteen planes down they headed back to the safety of the Anti air net around the Excellence.

<Four Heatons Ship>

One of the crusers burst into flame as it was hit by a missile. This was the first heavy damge the fleet had taken, much of the incoming missile fire was defeated by the CIWS, though other ships had been damaged.

<Back-up Fleet>

The FHS Dreamfall, the fleets only End All Class Battleship and her fleet had entered range. The Dreamfall fired a devastating Broadside from it's main guns, aimed squarely at the enemy carriers. The SUpporting carriers lauched twenty Harriers each which sped to join the fleet.

International Waters, en route to Theater of Combat

Admiral Lower Class Griffin Yeats stood at the bridge of his Dreadnought (Not a classic one, so don't get all pissy), the FWS Franco, overlooking the ships in his armada. Most of them were AA ships and Nimitz carriers (Along with a couple of Gerald R. Fords), but several wolf packs of T-212 submarines and even a pair of GWO-Modified Akulas were slinking around somewhere. A few Destroyers were present to provide some protection against attacking fleets, but the main defense against attackers would be the air capabilities of the fleet.

The Admiral was looking forward to this; satellite feed had shown him that the belligerents in question weren't really much to worry about, especially not to a fleet like his. Yeats had only had one bad experience on the seas. It was a battle near Greenland against the Red Tideans. He had lost dozens of ships and planes to them, but the Red Tide still withdrew. Afterwards, he had been demoted from a position of Admiral, Upper Class to Rear Admiral, only recently getting promoted to an Admiral, Lower Class.

(OOC: PLEASE READ: There never were and still aren't any DT carriers. All the DT aircraft are launching from a base within an operational radius from the battlezone, including the F-22s. so don't attack a DT carrier, all the planes are taking off from solid, dry land.)

As the DT salvo reached the WH fleet and their response took to the skies, counter-measures were already prepared. S-300 missiles from the Battlecruisers matched up a goodly number of the missiles and took them out of play long before they reached their targets. As they grew closer Sea Darts thinned their ranks even further and finally CIWS systems did their best to knock a few more off. The missiles affects were minimized in this manner, with hardly any of the attack penetrating the formation and reaching the capital ships. 6 Um al Maradims were critically damaged and had to be abandoned, an FFG-7 took a solid hit amid ships and turned slowly to limp back to base. Two of the Battlecruisers had near-misses and sustained significant damage to their hulls and deck, cutting their speed and effectivness by a third. By the time the WH wave made it to the DTS Bluebonnet all that was left was a rogue piece of shrapnel that decapitated one unlucky sailor.

With fires to put out, repairs to attend to and luanchers to reload the sailors became very busy. The main guns continued to fire as fast as they could reload and everything that was still loaded got a target.

Long before the B-52s made it over the fleet, they were detected and frigates launched another 2 RIM-66 missiles to accompany the FH attack.

The status board suddenly lit up with more allied units, watching the Icons of the 30 F-22s accelerate towards the ensuing engagement, all of them launching to AA missiles each.

"This is the Flagship, 81st support group I need you to come up and support the offensive against the DT fleet, however we need you to launch your missiles as soon as you come in range! That is all"

An Explosion shook the ship and knocked the Captain off his feet, clambering back up he cried out "What in the name of hell was that?!" A crew man listening to his headset replied, " A missile wave got through, we lost 4 Frigates and a missile hit our aft gun, its completely gone!" Shaking his head to clear his vision, he got on the radio to the Submarine force "This is the Flagship, go dark, I repeat go dark and move to waypoint Apha-43, once there go to missile depth and launch missiles directly at the DT airbase!"

Another expolsion wracked the ship, "Another hit?" The same tech as before answered "Yes Sir, a broadside from the FH ships!" Looking at the ships status screen, he could see that there were some hits to the hull and superstructre, "Damage control teams to those areas! Oh and a relaitory broadside if you please XO!"

The remaining 12 inch guns of the WHS White Fang turned in there turrets and unleashed a slavo of shells at the FH Flagship, alongside this a swarm of 120 SS-N-19 Shipwreck Missiles headed for the FH flagship.

The Four Heatons

16-02-2009, 01:01

The CIWS support of the Battleship and her escorts shot down the missile and the ENd All Class's heavy armour allowed her to shurg off the hit with minimal damage to primary system. She fired another two broadsides at the enemy carrier. The escrots fired Harpoons at the enemy cruisers. The Dreamfall continued to fire Broadside roughly every minute as they were reloaded

16-02-2009, 01:09

"Reload the SS-N-19s, they obviously have firing solutions keep firing as we move, All ahead full, we need to sink that Flagship!" The White Fange began to move out of the FH flagships line of fire and continued to fire broadsides. The Kirov Battlecruisers of the 81st response force continued to fire their SS-N-19 Shipwreck, which using there unique swarm missile system sped for the Dreamfall. Then the captain of the White Fang rembered the 2 Typhoon Class attached to his Task force. Getting on his radio, he hoped they had their comms mast up. Luckily they did. "WHS Unity and Opression you are to go deep and move close to the FH Flagship, once close you are to open fire with all the weaponry you have, ram her if you have to! Sink her and your names will forever rembered as hero's of the republic!"

The Only response The captain got was that of the two submarines disappering of sonar.

The Regrouped F/A-18's took advantage of the distraction caused by the Dreamfall, flying low and fast they we're able to get back into range of the Wolf Hold ships. Within seconds nearly 200 Anti-ship missiles were fired at nearly point blank range.

16-02-2009, 01:27

"Vampire! Vampire! Vampire! Incomming! Brace for impact! Brace for Impact!" Too late had the radar techs noticed the F/A-18s and their missiles, CIWS and flack got about 60 but that left 140 streaking towards the ships and some target DI ships but that left 100 missiles for wolf hold ships, the missiles brackated the 1st of the remaining two carriers sending it up in flames, large stress fractures opening in its hull, a Kirov was also sunk and two others damaged, finnaly the White Fang was now listing slightly as even her improved armour could not stand against such punisment.. However the F/A-18s attack would not last long the 8 specalist Aegis Anti-Air destroyers and the opperational Kirovs launched there multitude of SAM weaponry a total of 200 SAMs flew into the air after the F/A-18. As well as the SAM barrage facing them, 12 F-22s came in underneath them and began unleashing missiles and sidewinders off at close to point blank range.

The surving Rafle Ms which were loaded with Anti-Ship Missiles took advantage of the loss of aircover over the Dreamfall and using similar tactics the Rafle Ms unleashed there larger anti ship missiles straight at the battleship.

CIC, WHS Ratchet

"Sir active sonar is pinging us sir.Thinking for a moment " go down deep, as deep as possible" Captain Nikoli ordered, stroking his small beard. The submarine passed the saline layer which would deter most passive sonar, then they passed the safe zone for there hulls, popping noises could be heard as the hull began to suffer under the pressure. "use the sound of the carrier exploding to mask the sound of flooding our torpedo tubes, make sure you relay this to the others"

<F/A-18's>

Their mission completed they tried to get back to the carrier group, none made it back alive, though some had ejected.

<FHS Excellence>

A cheer was heard through fleet as the first carrier was destroyed, and the WHite fang listing. The Problem now was the lack of Superhornets and the small amount of Harriers.

<FHS DReamfall>

The Harriers from the Invicible Class's were too slow to get off the deck. Whilst the SAM cover was able to shoot down some of the enemy jets, and the CIWS shot down some of the missiles, two missiles hit the Dreamfall in the stern.
"We've lost the portside engines" A engineer reported "Damage control responding, we'vve also lost our aft SAMs, we'll have to rely on the escorts SAM cover.
"What about SONAR?"
"Nothing major to report, small reading, mosltly background, nothing to report"

"On my mark all submarines will set ascent angle to 45 degrees and hit engines to full, then once clear of deep pressure we will unleash a storm of hell on that flagship!"

"And.....Mark!"

The two typhoons kicked there engines into full and began to rise noses facing the underside of the FHS Dreamfall. "Clearing danger zone, ok we can fire torpedos, we are in range!" Nodding Nikoli smirked "In the name of the Wolf FIRE! All torpedos Fire! Lauch tube 1 through to 6!"

"Massive SONAR contact on Ramming course!" The PWO reported
"Get them out of here"

<FHS Intrepid>

"Not on my watch" The Captain of the Four HEatons Submarine said as the sub fired all it's forward torpedos, to her left and right the other two subs fired at the enemy subs as well.

<FHS DREAMFALL>

"More Torps"
"Accelerate to what speed we can, deploy more countermeasures and get us out of range, we've taken a lot of damage, are we still firing broadside?"
"Just started again" The PWO reported as a broadside fired again towards the Wolf Hold Fleet.

D.I Nimitz Class Carrier:

"Were getting out of this war zone!" Yelled Cpt Grace "We have orders from above to return to base and leave this to our Fly Boys!"

The Ship Powered up and set its co ordinates for Base...

The CG-54's Powered up and done the same... As did the Virginia Class Subs

The Navy were happy to finally be getting out of this Warzone... they were all to welcoming to leave it to the Air Force which had always been more well funded by no comparison...

Forest Island Naval Base:

"Navys on their way home sir" said a young communication anaylist

"Verygood" the superior replied

<FHS Excellence>

"The DI ships are retreating" A Tactical officer reported "Their Aircraft are still around though"
"Damn" The Admiral said "Well, we'll get those bastards when we invade"
The Excellence and her battlegroup continued to fire at the enemy aircraft. ANd fired another salvo of Anti-ship missiles at the Wolf Holds ships.

CIC, WHS White Fang
"Sir! DI carrier is Disengaing!" Looking shocked the Captain hurreid to his radio "Daniel Island Forces, you are leaving the AO where are you going?"

The armor plating on the White Fang managed to shrug off the broadside but at the cost of some of her smaller guns. She returned fire with her own broadside

(OOC- Did any of the second lot of torpedos get through?)
CIC, WHS Ratchet

"Enemy subs firing!" A scared petty officer called out. "Keep on course, the WHS Clank will sacrice themselves so we may complete our mission" This is how it transpired the WHS clank artifically increased its SONAR signiture and attracted the hostile torpedos, the all hit with a muted explosion, completly and utterly destroying the WHS Clank, whoever the Ratchet was still on course to ram the Dreamfall.

16-02-2009, 02:18

OOC: Look below

The Dreamfall was engageng her reamining engine when it was hit by a torpedo. Slowing to a stop, would seem to have actually saved the Dreamfall, thats what it looked like from the Intrepid, the enemy sub that remained would, if they were very lucky, miss the dreamfall, only time would tell as they fired a anti-sub missile from their forward laucnher in an attempt to destroy it before it could try to ram the Dreamfall

CIC, WHS Ratchet

"They think they're safe but there not!" The WHS Ratchet fired counter measures to try and confuse the Anti-ship missile, and in whils they got even closer to the FHS Dreamfall with the whole crew singing their national anthem at the top of their voice, the time on the cruise missiles continued its count down to detonation.

The Four Heatons

16-02-2009, 02:28

"ALL hands brace for impact, have the cruiser move into a towing postion, I don't want us permantly attached to a enemy submarine, nuclear or not" THe Admiral ordered as the ship got closer
"Towing us off her will cuase a lot of hull damage" The XO commented.
"Lock down all emergency bulkheads around the breach, that should..."
The ship was rocked by a monutment collision as the submarine struck. The cruisers moved to position and within minutes there were strong connection over the prow and being tied down as she ship began to list.

CIC, WHS Ratchet

The collison shook the hull of the ship, quickly regaining contol Nikoli ordered the reputred sections of the sub sealed off. "1 Minute!" Cried the XO over the last reaption of the Anthem. All the sailors looked around at each other and nooded, this was a way to die. 10...9...8...7...6...5..4..3..2..1.

The 8 thomhawk cruise missiles in the weapons bay detonated, causing an explosion that touched off the remaing torpedo ordenace as well.

The Four Heatons

16-02-2009, 02:38

"Good lord!" The Admiral on the Excellence exclaimed, the explosion could be seen from their position "All ships fire all weapons at the Wolf Hold ship they shall pay for this!"
Every Ship in the fleet fired every single missile they still had in their compliment at the enemy fleet. Followed by Salvos of main guns at the enemy fleet, the guns were reloaded and fired again. From the four submarines in the area, four Cruise Missiles were fired.

The Wolf Hold

16-02-2009, 02:51

CIC, WHS White Fang

"This is the endgame! All ships, all aircraft! This is the Flagship, focus all fire on The Four Heaton Ships! Leave non-alive!" THe captains voice was cut off as the White Fang went up in flames as it was hit by several missiles and shells.

The rest of the fleet advanced on the Four Heatons ships, firing off AS Missiles and firing broadsides as the advanced, the fleets were so close now that the Marines on the decks could take shots at one another.

Now the remaining WH airpower turned on the FHS Excellence, launching suicidal close attack runs with their ASMs.

Approaching Combat Theater

"Sir, we're in range to provide combat support for our aircraft. Proceed with launch?"

Admiral Yeats calmly stated, "Sure, go ahead."

Flight Decks of the GWO Fleet

Sirens were blaring, ordering the pilots to launch. "Unser Rommel" was being played for a boost in devotion, and the GWO Battle Flag flew under the GWO National Flag. EA-18Gs were the first to launch, as they could screw with missiles during the launch of the other planes. The planes flew in circles above the fleet while waiting for the 200 planes of the first strike to launch. Once radio range was established, an order was sent to all elements possible of receiving the message.

"On behalf of the Spire, all belligerents are to cease fire immediately or face destruction. This is the final warning the Order will give. All planes are to land, all guns are to fall silent unless acting to destroy incoming munitions. Repeat, ALL combat is to cease immediately."

The MBDA Meteors and AMRAAMs were already prepared to take down specified targets. The GWO force here outnumbered the entire air force of the Wolf Hold, possibly the Heaton air force as well.

Back on the ships, another wave was prepared to take off if problems were encountered by the first wave.

Frigates across the line exploded as they took fire to their waepons storage, four were sunk. The rest of the combined fleet fired evvery weapon they had on the enemy fleet. The Weapons officers we're overwraught as they fired on both the eneym ships and their planes.
"Report?"
"We're taking some of their ships down, some of ours are as well" Tactical reported

The WH Fleet now leaderless without the Flagship just continued on his last orders to destroy the Four Heatons fleet. Launching salvo after salvo, one by one the Kirov Battlecruisers were sunk. 2 of them and the last Aircraft carrier went up in a great ball of fire as their magazines touched off. However now there was in excess of 300 ASMs flying towards theFour Heaton Fleet and the pilots realised that they had no where to land so they set there jets on collison course with Four Heaton Ships. Many of which were directed at the FSH Excellence.

The Four Heatons

16-02-2009, 03:08

Helcoptors lifed off from the escort ships as they continued to frie at the incoming ships to take them out. The Excellence was steaming away at maximum speed as they last of the helicoptors made their last jounery, leaveing only skeiton crews aboard the escorts. The Last few pairs of harriers worked franticly to attempt to take down as amny suicdle jets as possible, but theree were too many.

The Wolf Hold

16-02-2009, 03:10

2 Kirov Battlecruisers, an Ageis and 4 FFG-7s had split off and were limping back towards port palla, whilst the rest of the Fleet pounded the Four Heatons ships. More ships sunk and the suicde jets crashed stright into the deck of the FHS Excellence.

The Four Heatons

16-02-2009, 03:16

"Hells teach" The Admiral exclaimed as the planes hit "DAMAGE REPORT!"
"We've got...um...our engines and that's about it" The Engineers reported "Oh and our Anti air weapons, everything else is off-line"
"How long till we're out of enemy range?"
"Five Minutes if they don't find more speed"
"Keep us going, and tell those Harriers they'll have to do their best to land on that damaged flight deck"
The Excellene was reaching the open sea and was barely pulling away from the enemy ships that we're being held up by the skeliton crew manned escorts.

Drifting somwhere in the ocean close to both fleets and any GWO forces in the area, was the Nuclear reactor from the WHS Ratchet, its armored compartment had survived the suicide run and was now about to go critical.

The resulting shockwave and explosion expanded for 3 miles and threw radiation into the stratosphere

"It's been confirmed, the Excellence and DreamFall battlegroups have been destroyed in what appears to be a nuclear blast" Admiral Forrest replied.
"From what?" Alanna asked.
"It appears that one of the enemy submarines our ships sunk had a nuclear reactor, it went critial"
"Alright, we're going to invade the Wolf Hold"

OOC: The Invasion shall take place in another thread, Wolf Hold, just need your closing post.

Offical Statement By The Central Command Of the Wolf Hold

Yesterday, Naval Task Force 24 which was escorting AID to a diaster struck Island suffered from a unprevoked attack from Forces of The Four Heatons. The ensuing Naval battle took the lives of many men and sunk many ships. Task Force 34, 4th Air Army and the 81st Reponse Force was complelty destroyed when a nuclear reactor overloaded.

Invasion of Wolf Hold Soverign Land is now highly expected.

GWO Fleet

The Admiral watched as a chunk of his air group was blown away in a nuclear blast. "God fucking damn it."

One Officer threw his handgun against the ground, accidentally causing a discharge and sending the 5.7mm bullet through his head. "You fucking retard!" shouted another officer.

The RADAR operator, a nerdy sounding 20-year old, looked up and said "Sir, the fleets are gone," before giving out a nerdish giggle.

Communication:

From: D.I Navy Fleet Cpt Grace
To: Aquidneckia

Okay you got our co operation what do you want?

Before a response could be made, a nuclear explosion occurred.

Drifting somwhere in the ocean close to both fleets and any GWO forces in the area, was the Nuclear reactor from the WHS Ratchet, its armored compartment had survived the suicide run and was now about to go critical.

The resulting shockwave and explosion expanded for 3 miles and threw radiation into the stratosphere

It was extremely luckily, that the fleet battles were quite a distance of shore, and that the prevailing winds, would carry the resulting radiation away from Aquidneckia. On Foxtrot class submarine, however, was destroyed in the explosion. The Salvage tugs, had managed to tow the D.I. 21 Ark, to a safe distance, before the explosion. However, much of the eastern coast, would see some radiation, and it would put a damper on fishing, what was a major food staple, and industry for Aquidneckia. The Four Heaton civilians had been rescued, as had many from the D.I. 21 Ark.

(OOC: Daniels Island, can I get some info on the D.I. 21 Ark, specs and what not? If it's acceptable to you, I would like to repair, and keep it for naval use. I am sure that your people assume it was destroyed with the rest of the ships in the area.)

Pyshoria

16-02-2009, 17:47

Cheetah leader was able to escape the incoming missile, but Lion 3 went up in flames. Shortly afterward, a nuclear explosion occurred, destroying Lions 5 and 6, but not damaging any other aircraft, as they were returning to the Cougar. The Cougar, along with the two destroyers were unharmed, as they were 10 miles away from the blast. Ocelot 1 was deep underwater, but ocelot 2 was not so deep, and shock waves damaged the conning tower. To prevent the sub from sinking, ocelot 2 was surfaced. As the fleet headed back towards Pyshoria, they received news of the Four Heatons' invasion of the wolf hold.

OOC: Whoops, missed the party.

IC: (Fluid Time) - before explosion:

"Oh no they don't," said Admiral Montacalm of the fleeing DI ships. "Make chase!"

The DT fleet was relatively removed from the Four Heatons and WH battle, but close enough to make an attack on the DI fleet before they got away. Another full compliment of AShM missiles were loaded up to strike them as they turned tail.

In the air, the scant remains of the original Super Hornets were relieved by fresh planes which took their place in the dogfight above the FH ships. The F-22s had altered course to fight the DI planes, but just as the critical moment came to bear, the enemy hit the after burners to engage the FH ships. By the time the F-22s had circled back over the fleet and were about to get new orders, the DI planes were already returning, flying in and right back out of the battle. As the number of enemy planes grew, commanders didn't want to take their chances and the messae went out to yield to the 91 DI F-22s.
"Okay, Buggin' out." The F-22s turned tail and rocketed back to base.

As that drama unfolded, the fleet was ready to fire and leading firgates had turned, in range to fire torpedos.

Admiral Montcalm made his way to the bridge of the DTS Bluebonnet, where he was told the fleet was ready to carry out his order. "Very good," he said. "Fi--"

The floating reactor failed and sent sensitive equipment buzzing and beeping in objection. He watched as explosions rippled through the fleets and saw million dollar jets, specks from this distance, tumble from the air like so many peices of ash.

Alarms sounded and sailors rushed to the protection of steel bulk heads as a shockwave hit and radioactive trash showered the ship. "Cancel the attack," the Admiral ordered as reports of the lost Super Hornets and one of the E-3s having gone down reached his ears. "Turn back, we're done in these waters."

The remaining E-3, stationed above the fleet and the adequately high B-52s returned to base.
Some of the smaller ships had taken damdage from the shockwave and many crewman were already injured, countless more would surely fall sick in the coming weeks and days.

As the dust, debris and clouds left by missiles and explosions cleared, a view of the broken sea was revealed. The U-2 spyplane drifted lazily high over the wrecked ships, recording the damage.

Stricken hulls, unidentifyable debris; it all drifted equally depressed. After it had surveyed the last of the damage, thick and dark clouds drifted over the area obscuring the cameras view, no doubt partly formed by the exhaust and explosions the battle had produced.

The U-2 made a slow banking turn to reach some other obscure corner of the world and sailed on its high aspect ratio over the horizon and away.
