Over Elshire City, Galony.
5:01pm, 23rd April 2009.

"Status normal."

The five F-16 Flying Falcons flew over Elshire City at a high speed, having just taken off from Elshire City Air Base. It was a routine patrol, mainly to stretch the pilots legs. The city was just beside the coast, a few large ships docking in, most carrying cargo though a few military ships were there, just keeping watch just in case. The large North American country had never been at war in its one hundred year history, but that didn't stop the government keeping its guard up. The country was quite paranoid for unspoken reasons, and despite the country falling into recession thanks to economic mismanagement by the previous government, the military was still well maintained.

The sun was shining today, with no clouds in the sky. It was a beautiful day, unlike last week's thunderstorms and heavy rain. The Falcons were flying over Stadium Elshire, the national stadium in which association football games were played at regularly. Highwood was nearby, the stadium for rugby football, just beside Elshire Park, for cricket. The stadiums were empty today, numerous matches being played in the various leagues and cups of Galony rather.

"Unknown unit 12 o'clock."

In the sky, there were several planes flying towards the group. They instantly advanced upward, and all fears were ended whenever the national flag was spotted on the planes.

"Unit friendly."

The Falcons dropped altitude back to their rate beforehand, and, after twenty minutes of patrolling the city, went towards the sea, keeping an eye on Galonian waters as well as land. After all, paranoia was the state ideology of Galony.

In the sea, a large ship, probably an aircraft carrier was spotted by one of the younger pilots. The Falcons flew above the ship, and it was confirmed it was an aircraft carrier. A gut feeling told all of the pilots that it wasn't Galonian. After all, Galony only had a few carriers, nearly all of them at dock.

"Unknown naval unit on the coast. Co-ordinates sent."

"Copy that."

The Falcons continued circling above the ship, waiting for its actions. If all went expected, President Eden would be dealing with an international incident by supper.

5 Nautical Miles from Elshire City, Galony.
5:40pm, 23rd April 2009.

The Invincible-class aircraft carrier FSS Territorial was sailing once again, her crew at work. Captain David Lawrence downed his tea quickly, walking quickly into the Air Base. The ship had been at dock for a month, and it was good to be in command of her again for Lawrence. He was overlooking the first five F-16s take off, heading off to replace the original five up in the air who had been up to a patrol earlier today. Those aircraft landed soon after the Territorial's Falcons were in the air, refuelling quickly.

Lawrence couldn't make out the unknown aircraft carrier in the distance, though the ship's radar could. It was huge, dwarfing everything in the Federated States Navy. He wouldn't like to battle with that thing anytime soon in the ageing Territorial. Hopefully, Galony might get a supercarrier soon. Though that was but a dream, and the government just wanted a few medium carriers and light carriers. No military company in Galony had the resources to build a supercarrier, though plenty of foreign companies had already built many of them, so a few years after the recession ended, it wouldn't be idiotic to think of a supercarrier. Though by then, Lawrence would be retired. Damn.

Lawrence exited the Air Base and headed straight to Communications. As soon as he got there, he asked the one question he had been pondering for a few minutes.

"Any communications from the ship out there?"

"No, sir."

Lawrence frowned. "Let's see what happens now. It's just in international waters?"

"Just about. We know very little about what they plan to do, Sir. But for the moment, we leave it alone."

RBS Independant

The RBS Independant was a newly commisioned Excelsior Class Carrier of the Battlehawk Navy. They had been ordered to sail to this area to await her escorts who were being redirected from the decomissiong of a older Allegeiance Class. She had parked herself in International Waters near the nation of Galony.

6:18pm, 23rd April 2009.

James April had his headset on, sipping his cup of tea every once in a while. The tea was hot and strong, just the way he liked it. He was trying to intercept any radio traffic from the nearby foreign supercarrier, but so far he was failing. There seemed to be to no traffic coming from it, and he was starting to worry. This ship wasn't talking at all - likely - or the decryption wasn't working - likely.

He decided to mark this recording for the President. Yes, there wasn't any noise, but it was still worrying; what where these foreigners up to?

5 Nautical Miles from Elshire City, Galony.
6:29pm, 23rd April 2009.

Captain Lawrence snatched the radio from his assistant's hand and started to speak into it, the message directed straight to the foreign ship just about not in Galonian waters.

"Unknown vessel, unknown vessel, this is Captain John Lawrence of the FSS Territorial, and I request you leave your current position so as to cause national security concerns in Galony, over."

RBS Independance

"Outragous, we're in international waters, by at least a mile" Ships Captain Tom Renold muttered "Hold postion, open channel"
"Open"
"FSS Territorial, this is the Independance, we are in International waters awaitin arrivail of our escorts so we may go on patrol"

6 Nautical Miles from Elshire City, Galony.
6:34pm, 23rd April 2009.

"God, they're just making this hard."

"RBS Independance, RBS Independence, we would request that your ship moves away from international waters very near to Galonian waters. We are concerned that a supercarrier is one mile from our waters, and we request you withdraw to international waters further from Galonian waters so as to avoid raising national security concerns in our country. Over."

Lawrence put it down again, sat down and asked for a cup of tea. It would take a while to convince these stubborn idiots to move away.

RBS Independance

"Lets get one thing clear, we have no interest in conquest of your small nation, if we did we'd have already launched sorties against you" Tom said "We are here to avoid Storms futher out to sea"

6 Nautical Miles from Elshire City, Galony.
6:45pm, 23rd April 2009.

Lawrence sipped his cup of tea. It was hot, a bit too hot, but he wouldn't complain. There were more important matters at hand which would cancel out the need for a complaint about a cup of tea bdeing slightly too hot for Lawrence to enjoy right away.

Whenever the latest Battlehawkian communication came in, Lawrence was suprised by the captain's use of the informal phrase 'let's get one thing clear'. That was a first for him to hear that over a radio, but he brushed it off.

"RBS Independance, RBS Independance, we have located an area further out which is unpopulated by storms and it is expected it will not be struck by a storm soon. Co-ordinates sent, over."

"What do you think?" Tom asked his Xo
"We shouldn' let a small country boss us about it'd damage our image, that said our being a threat to them will also damage our reputaiton as non-conquest orianted" Jenny King replied.
"Alright, I'll have a good, think I'll reply shortly"

6 Nautical Miles from Elshire City, Galony.
7:19pm, 23rd April 2009.

Lawrence finished off the last of his tea and stared at the radio. The Battlehawkians were taking a while to reply. He wouldn't talk to them again until they messaged him. Until then, the ship would keep advancing towards the Independance.

Lawrence noted how many ships were named Independance, before deciding to pick up the radio again. If the Battlehawkians went on total silence, he had no idea what he would do.

"RBS Independance, RBS Independance, do you agree to our request? Over."

"Helm Officer, slowly take us away, put us a mile away and hold there, we're still vunreable from pirates and other nations without our escort, they may not notice us if were closer in" Tom ordered. The Independance slowly began to turn

BRIDGE OF THE USPS Triton

The Triton was making 29 knots, since things had escallated with her sister ship the Atlas they had been pushing it to come to her aid. They were the closest of the 6 operating Philimbesian carriers, close but still a ways out. They're course brought them way too close to national waters for the Captains liking but it was needed.

"Sir!" The RADAR operator called.

"Double Contact two carriers."

Captain Brian Barker glanced over at the op. "How far?"

"75 Nautical Miles. One ship is in Galony's waters, the other international.

"Keep me posted." Not much was going to slow him down getting to the Atlas, he knew Bartlet would get herself into a pickle eventually she was going to need the air power he had.

((OOC: Aww. Well, I'm not letting this die.))

International waters near Galony.
8:02pm, 23rd April 2009.

Five B-1 Lancer strategic bombers were flying above the RBS Independance, having just taken off from a nearby military base. They had noted a movement by the Independance further away from national waters, though they wouldn't allow the Battlehawkians to move closer. The escorting ships probably weren't far now, so if they were going to attack the supercarrier, it would have to happen soon.

The Lancers decided just to hover above the supercarrier. Attacking it without being provoked would be political suicide and would probably give the Battlehawk a new state. They were just waiting to so what the Battlehawkians would do with five F-16s and five Lancers flying over their ship.

ooc i hope FSS Territorial is a Airbase

RBS Independance

"Conatacts, above, repeat contact above, Recommend Alert One!" A Tac officer reported.
"Alert one!" Tom ordered "Launch a wing of fighters, have alert 5 be reay"
Within Two Minutes Six F-32's were airbourse in a CAP.

OOC: Can a B1 come off a carrier?

OOC: I was just thinking that

OOC: Can a B1 come off a carrier?

ooc No and it Can't hover too

ooc No and it Can't hover too

((OOC: I edited it and 'hover' was an expression, obviously.))

International waters near Galony.
8:21pm, 23rd April 2009.

The F-16s seemed to become the guards of the bombers, and formed a protective circle around them, right above the supercarrier. Whenever the radar picked up a few 'F-32s' flying towards them, the Lancers got ready to drop their bombs and possibly start a war, while the F-16s were ready to attack the Battlehawkians, starting a war anyway. It all depended on if the Battlehawkians were cowards or if they were hunters, really.

The Territorial was still there, all ready to defend and attack if needed. Another carrier of the same class would be joining her quickly, the FSS Sabretooth.

BRIDGE OF THE USPS Triton

The RADAR operators eyes opened wide. "Captain multiple contacts! Signatures of bomber and fighter aircraft, getting dicey out there sir"

"Christ" Barker said to himself. "Weapons activate the RIM-116's, and the CIWS, get a set of 18's on the cats! Helm speed to 18, communications let PACCOM know we might be delayed."

A chorus of "Aye Aye Captains'" followed the end of Barker's statement.

ooc No and it Can't hover too


OOC: I guess if you lined up like 5 in a row... :D I was getting to the hovering. Sorry carry on.

((OOC: I edited it and 'hover' was an expression, obviously.))

ooc well those who have no idea may get the idea they could ,best let them know now then later

BRIDGE OF THE TRITON

"Sir..." The captain was getting tired of hearing is RADAR op say that "Secondary contact, on our six, closing fast. Signatures is an Invincible class carrier, matching that of one of the first two, the other is an Excelsior carrier."

Barker grabbed his binoculars and check in front of him, black specks circuled high above larger dots in the water. He could barely make out the colors of the larger dot, it looked like... "Battlehawk." He said, who in their right mind would attack a Battlehawk cruiser with an invincible class ship. He strained his eyes. Couldn't make out the colors of the ship.

"Launch the fighters, Open a channel, all frequencies."

"Unidentified ship, this is the USPS Triton, stand down your persuit immediately!"

4 F/18 screamed off the catapults and into the sky. In unison the executed high g turn and streaked passed the carrier, enroute to intercept the ship behind it.

Above international waters near Galony.
8:21pm, 23rd April 2009.

As Battlehawkian planes were closing in, the Lancers and F-16s didn't move. The F-16s stood their guard. The two aircraft carriers visible on the sea. Both seemed to be staring at Independance, expecting the worst. A nearby air base, New Leinstar Air Base, was on high alert, several F-16s and B-1s ready to take off at any moment if the tensions exploded into a full out battle.

One of the F-16s fired a warning shot.

((OOC: Philembesi, are you attacking the Battlehawk or me?))

Viper Squadron

"Holy shit they fired!" Viper Three exclaimed as they scattered as the enemy missile was fired.
The F-32's blasted over the Galony aircraft and came about, this time their weapons ready

At which carrier mine or Battlehawks.

((OOC: The Battlehawk's aircraft, of course.))

OOC: of course...

I
Barker checked the course again, they were in international waters. This was ridiculous.

Open a channel to the Battlehawk carrier. After the channel was open. "This is Captain Brian Barker of the USPS Triton. Any particular reason why this knat's buzzing you?"

Viper Squadron

"Holy shit they fired!" Viper Three exclaimed as they scattered as the enemy missile was fired.

Above international waters near Galony.
8:55pm, 23rd April 2009.

One of the F-16s took off in pursuit of the F-32s, the others standing put. The pilot followed them, his weapons ready but not firing anything. A few more F-16s jetted off from New Leinster, about three, and they looked set to join in on the pursuit, their weapons ready.

The carriers moved slightly backwards, as if retreating. Or were they just luring the supercarrier? That was for the captain of the Independance to decide.

If the Battlehawkians were well up-to-date with news in Galony, they would know that security forces had been strengthened in Elshire City, several destroyers, cruisers, patrol boats and ground forces put on high alert. Clearly the Galonians were expecting something.

President John Henry Eden had been evacuted to Alwood, a city in southern Galony. Just in case.

"Captain, Captain, RBS Independance, we parked near to ther waters to wait for our escorts, safe from storms and other nations" Tom replied "They've overreacted"

OOC: Galony Am I being ignored?

The F-32's applied airbrakes and pulled up, drastically slowing their speed, the enemy jets would hopefully speed forward ahead of them and the pursuit would be reversed

"Understood Independence, be advised our escort is also behind us, four Hobart Destroyers and two Virgnia subs, all coming hard, we can help if you need it." Barker returned.

"Our escorts are still some time away so anything you can do will be appreciiated" Tom replied

"Galony fleet, this is your first and last warning. We are operating in a non hostile manor in international waters. Stand down or we will be forced to retaliate." Barker said on all open channels.

OOC: Galony Am I being ignored?

((OOC: No. Just what exactly are you doing?))

Above international waters near Galony.
11:15pm, 23rd April 2009.

As night absorbed Galony, news was starting to leak about the stuation in the seas and how the government had secretly closed off Galonian waters from fishing and cargo vessels.

The F-16s didn't fall for the Battlehawkian tricks. They did speed ahead, but quickly came back and were soon chasing after them again. They were advancing on them, slowly but surely, just waiting for that first shot.

6 nautical miles from Elshire City, Galony.
11:19pm, 23rd April 2009.

Lawrence was getting tired, and he would be going to his Quarters soon. He was now sipping strong coffee in order to keep him awake for the last few minutes before he probably died in his sleep.

"Philimbesian fleet, Philimbesian fleet, we will not stand down in defense of our national security issues. Please leave the international waters near our nation. Over."

A Pennsylvanian DESRON was approaching the area, they would not let a Battlehawk carrier get attacked

the DESRON consisted of
1 Ticonderoga CGM
2 Arleigh Burke DDGs
11 Zumwalt DDGs

Above international waters near Galony.
11:15pm, 23rd April 2009.

As the Pennsylvanian Destroyer Squadron approached Galonian waters, a small Sheffield-class guided missile destroyer started sailing slightly north of the DESRON. It was actually on a routine patrol run, with no ambitions to get involved in the madness unless President Eden ordered them to. The FSS Ruane, named after the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Doctor Patricia Ruane, was approaching the DESRON slowly yet confidently, and it sent a message to the DESRON squadron.

"Pennsylvanian Destroyer Squadron, Pennsylvanian Destroyer Squadron, this is the FSS Ruane, requesting why your squadron is on course near Galonian waters. We warn you that there is a heated situation in our waters and request you leave."

"Our navy has no intentions to attack any ships in our waters, we merely want them to leave. Over."

"We are going to stay in international waters, do not order us to do things in International Waters like you did with the RBS Independence"

The DESRON commander ordered from the USS Zumwalt

The F-32's had given enough time for another flight of F-32's to take of from the independenace and were soon on the Galonian Aircrafts tails

Alwood, Galony.
11:46pm, 23rd April 2009.

President John Henry Eden had his face in his hands. The situation in the seas had gone mad, and it was only a matter of time until those damned bloody foreigners kicked off a whole fiasto because they just couldn't withdraw from a country whose Navy would probably lose several ships to one supercarrier, which was obviously why he didn't want a supercarrier just not in Galony's waters. Then everybody else had joined the Battlehawkian bandwagon and before his breakfast of cereal, toast, eggs and tea his Navy would probably be wiped out, the economy in a deep hole and public opinion turning towards the Galonian National Socialist Party. He downed the last of his whiskey and kicked the small table it had been sitting on, knocking it over.

He quickly called up the Chief of Staff, General Harry Lucas.

"Lucas? Hello...yes, I know..."
"Get the military on high alert...no, I am not crazy, we have three foreign fleets near our waters, goddamn it!"
"Yes, I've been drinking whiskey..understood, I'll stop for the night...Bye."

The Pennsylvanian Fleet Commander sent word to the RBS Independence saying that the ships would be at her location in 2 hours to escort her

Two of the aircraft dropped back, leaving about two chasing the original aircraft and two others chasing more aircraft. This little dispute was quickly turning into a precursor for war, the last thing the troubled economy of Galony needed to recover. Alas, Galonians finally had a reason to be paranoid!

Soon, one more F-16 joined the group chasing the Battlehawkian aircraft which were chasing the Galonian aircraft. All of them were ready to fire.

The Pennsylvanian ships now had IR Locks on all Galonian F-16, and were ready to fire if a shot was fired

Lawrence picked up the radio and spoke into it slowly.

"We will not stand down. All foreign forces should leave the area now. Over."

"If you will not cease your operations in International Waters against a Foreign Ship, you may just go ahead and mark your graves right now"

6 Nautical Miles from Elshire City, Galony.
1:25am, 24th April 2009.

Lawrence didn't reply. There was no need to to. The Ruane and a few other destroyers were ready to fire at the foreign ship and sink it. As soon as they fired, they would be sunk.

Lawrence said a prayer to God. Then, the evacution onto the helicopters began. Most of them would go. Lawrence and a few others would stay. They would see what would happen.

Space

378 Miles above the surface of the Ocean, 2 Satelites were moving into Position, one
was a PhotoReconSat, the other was a RFG-233 Kinetic Strike Platform

Galonian Coastline

The Radar sets onboard the 14 Ships in the Squadron picked up the Helos lifting off, that and the lack of reply made them think that this was a Declaration of War, as a result, 8 Harpoon Anti-Shipping missiles, 4 Tomahawk Cruise Missiles were fired at the enemy vessels, and 1 SM-4 SAM Missile at each Galonian aircraft in the area, while above the Atmosphere the Kinetic Strike Platform was moving into position to strike at Galonian Bases and Important Facilities

((OOC: Are you PMT? Because this thread clearly states 'MT' and you appear to have developed some form of superlaser which can be fired from space, which I've never heard of in any military arsenal.))

OOC:Kinetic Strike is not a Laser, its is a Tungsten rod fired from a Platform in Space that uses Kineitc Energy, Speed, to create a Blast equal to that of a 1 Kiloton Nuke, but no radiation, it does its damage by causing a upheavel of the Earth, look up EndWar Kinetic Strike on Youtube, should be able to find a video of it, it is MT but its just on the Brink between MT and PMT, MT is uncertain to as how far as it goes but i put the end of MT at 2025

One of pilots shot down had a grudge with the USPA.

His father, who had beat him, came from that nation, and quite simply, he wanted revenge. So whenever USPA missiles shot off both the wings of the Falcon he commanded, he started steering it right towards the nearest USPA ship, hoping to go unavoided by the ship's missiles and experience retribution.

OOC: Galony didn't you have a second carrier enroute? I'm sorry I was playing that as it was coming from behind the Triton.

ooc wow you couldn't wait for Hawk to return

OOC: Galony didn't you have a second carrier enroute? I'm sorry I was playing that as it was coming from behind the Triton.

((OOC: Yes, but I'm roleplaying that already being with the Territorial. Oops. And yes Imperial, we couldn't. I'm already at de facto war with USPA and probably Philimbesi. I'm not waiting till tomorrow night for Battlehawk to come back on.))

2:24am, 24th April 2009.

The FSS New Leinster, an Iroquois-class destroyer, had just got in range of a USPA vessel, in the midst of the chaos. It was stocked with missiles and full with fuel, having just came out of the New Leinster Coastal Naval Base. It had its orders, which would start a war most likely.

Three missiles took off, approaching the USPA vessel at an alarming speed. It was getting closer...

2 of the Missiles were Downed, and the 3rd Fell for the Chaff and exploded 1,200 Feet behind the Cruiser, but its shockwave alone played hell with almost all of the Electronics onboard

At the same moment, 18 Harpoons took off towards the New Leinster

3:01am, 24th April 2009.

The FSS Workhorse, a Virginia-class submarine, was sneaking beneath the chaos of the waves, going unnoticed by the ships busy with battling above. It was given a quick mission, fire a few torpedoes and get out of the battle. The Workhorse had to sink one or two ships.

It had just got in range of a USPA vessel. It was just about in range of a Philimbesian vessel.

"Fire torpedo one, two, three four, first two at USPA, others at Philimbesi!" shouted the captain.

In a few minutes, four torpedoes were fired. Two were going for the USPA vessel, the others at the nearest Philimbesian ship. As soon as the torpedoes were launched, the Workhorse started on full speed back to the nearest naval base, its mission unknown even to the Galonian ships above.

OOC: OK we'll pretend that a Nimitz Class Carrier wouldn't notice a sub... as much as we'll pretend that a nation that has a Defense budget (http://nstracker.jfsoftware.com/index.php?nation=Galony) of 0.00 can afford any of the stuff you've launched at us already....

"Contact! Incoming torpedoes!" The sonar op called out. "Bearing one zero nine, NIXIE has been deployed and is active. At the end of the tether at a safe distance the NIXIE system began to return the torpedoes pings amplifying them and sending them back in an attempt to confuse and decoy the torpedoes.

Captain Kym Walker had no idea what they had done to his Virgina Class sub, but he liked it. After the drydock in Hyperion Cay it was faster and more maneuverable then it had ever been.

"Captain Urgent Message from the Triton. Torpedo's fired from this heading!"

"Set course, all hand Battlestations. Charge the tubes. Looks like we get to play with the new weapons boys!"

While this conflict was going on between multiple countries, the older and almost decommisioned Hr.Ms Stabler (http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/2/26/SNS_Dedalo_(R01)_underway.jpg), an Independece class light aircraft carrier, of the Noordeinde Navy sailed multiple Nautical miles away from this conflict.

The 4 F35 Joint Strike Fighters (http://norway.usembassy.gov/uploads/5r/1_/5r1_vV-0hgHZFh5AN0Fjxw/JSF_real_500x400.jpg), who normally would be onboard, were in the air and noticed what was going on, they immediatly reported to the bridge of the Hr.Ms Stabler (http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/2/26/SNS_Dedalo_(R01)_underway.jpg) what was going on.

Captain John Cabbot first opened a channel to the Galony Navy because it seemed to be that this conflict was going on in Galony waters.

"This is Captain John Cabbot of the Hr.Ms Stabler (http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/2/26/SNS_Dedalo_(R01)_underway.jpg) of the Noordeinde Navy, we noticed a conflict going on in Galony waters, can we have a status report of what's going on?!"

OOC: May I remeber to you what you wrote! And I just haven't received any issue with militairy involved, maybe that's the reason why so far my defense budget is 0,00$.

OOC: Not saying anything different just marveling at the fact. It's also based on the questions you answered in the beginning... I can't speak for the others, but it's all good with me though. As long as everyone doesn't get crazy.

"Captain intercepted message on Galony radio. "

The message from Noordeinde was relayed to the captain. He looked at his bearing and location. "Apparently he's looking at a different map than me since we're smack international waters and he thinks were in Galonys... open a chanel"

"Noordeinde vessel this the USPS Triton, use extreme caution as the Galonian has fired with no warning on several different vessels in the area!"

"sailer is this the right frequency, I have the Philimbesi Navy on the line now" Captain Cabbot asked.

"yes sir, I think our radio transmittion has been intercepted."

Captain Cabbot decided to answer to the Philimbesi Navy.

"Captain Cabbot of the Hr.Ms Stabler (http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/2/26/SNS_Dedalo_(R01)_underway.jpg) here of the Noordeinde Navy, we understood your transmittion, we will be look be on the look-out for hostile manouvres of Galony. And I just got verrified by of 1 of the pilotes who returned onboard that this situation is taking place in International waters, if I'm right? And for godsake how did this mess occure?!"

"Confirmed we are approximately 10 nautical from the line. As to how this happened, your guess is as good as mine."

"Understood, our position is let's see... 17 Nautical Miles of the line. Is there anything we can do? On the moment 3 out of 4 F35 joint Strike Fighters (http://norway.usembassy.gov/uploads/5r/1_/5r1_vV-0hgHZFh5AN0Fjxw/JSF_real_500x400.jpg) are airborn, and I have 4 Westland Lynx (http://sitelife.aviationweek.com/ver1.0/Content/images/store/8/0/f801e9c6-1896-4fde-90c0-f7ecf6ccee44.Large.jpg) helicopters onboard, those are the only 2 Squadrons onboard. But both quite effective if I may say."

But both quite effective if I may say."

OOC: Right now too much of the story is up in the air. Have to wait to see if the torpedoes took the bait, and what his sub is doing to evade the ALFS.

"17 Nautical... that's around where the sub was Captain."

"Use extreme caution there is an unaccounted for submarine in the vicinity, an attack group of our F18's (4) and a helicopter is now searching the area, using ALFS. They have been alerted to your location and will not attack. "

"Also be advised, a Philimbesian marked fleet is due in from heading one eight zero. 4 Hobart Destroyers and 2 Virgina Submarines. "

(OOC: the carrier is on one of it's last missions, a world tour exercise, before, decommisioning. The planes which are airborn were airborn for exercising take-offs and landings on the carrier, and while flying they discovered what is going on, all planes are unarmed and not in the air for combat.)

IC:The Captain was quite upset, afther being being in command of the Hr.Ms Stabler (http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/2/26/SNS_Dedalo_(R01)_underway.jpg) for over 15 years this world trip had to be great without any conflicts. But it was to late, and becomming emotional wouldn't be good as well and would be unproffesional. The Captain acknowledged the transmittion of the USPS Triton and transmitted back.

"Understood, directions of the Philimbesi fleet, we won't disturb them. And ofcourse were going to use extreme caution from now on due the hostile submarine."

"By the way, special attentions for your F18's, we are going to withdraw the F35 Joint Strike Fighters (http://www.ois.com/images/stories/ois/f35_2.jpg) onboard, and prepare them for combat, afther that process they will be airborn again to support you and the Pensylvannian fleet who seems to be under attack as well."

AS the the Shit hit the fan, the Independance launched every last F-32 they could. Within Ten MInutes 80 aircraft were airbourne. The Indepencande would support their friends. The Aircraft formed up and fired AIM-120's and AIM-9's at any and all Hostile aircraft in the area.

one of the F35 Joint Strike Fighters (http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3477/3241031001_1f084c789d.jpg), which just took off from the Hr.Ms Stabler (http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/2/26/SNS_Dedalo_(R01)_underway.jpg), made contact with the the huge battlehawks squadron.

"This is JSF 01 of the Noordeinde Navy, If I understood well the Galonians had problems with you because you were in international waters near their waters, and they started a war due that. Well althoug my whole squadron exists of 4 F35 Joint Strike Fighters (http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3477/3241031001_1f084c789d.jpg), we have your back, Over!"

"JSF 01, this is Battlehawk Squadron Lead, what is name and frequency of your home ship" Battlehawk Sqn Lead 'Foxeye One' Requested

"JSF 01 to Foxeye One, I hereby transmitt the frequency of my homeship the Hr.Ms Stabler (http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/2/26/SNS_Dedalo_(R01)_underway.jpg), to your board computer."

OOC:Galony, what types of torps did you launch at me?

"Hr.Ms Stabler, this is Battlehawk Squadron lead, please respond" Foxeye one announched

"This is Captain John Cabbot of the Hr.Ms Stabler (http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/2/26/SNS_Dedalo_(R01)_underway.jpg) of the Noordeinde Navy, I receive you loud and clear Foxeye, over."

"Requesting you fall into a formation with the Independance, over" Foxeye One requested

"captain Cabbot here of the Hr.Ms Stabler (http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/2/26/SNS_Dedalo_(R01)_underway.jpg), Noordeinde Navy, Sounds good to go in formation with the Independance. But here the following info of my ship for your captain, it's an Independence Class Light Airacraftcarrier (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Independence_class_aircraft_carrier), onboard left one Squadron of 4 Westland Lynx Helicopters (http://proto5.thinkquest.nl/~lle0555/lynx_22.jpg), and airborn the 4 F35 Joint Strike Figters (http://www.defenseindustrydaily.com/images/AIR_F-35A_AA-1_Test_Flight_lg.jpg), which seems to be you already met."

(OOC:The Carrier was on one of it's last "world tour exercises" before decommisoning, but came into this mess etc...)

"We'll give you what cover we can, we'll have our vessels on station soon, then in a postion of strength we'll decide what to do" Tom replied

"Understood Foxeye, and thank you for your extra cover next to the Squadron of 4 F35 Joint Strike Figters (http://www.defenseindustrydaily.com/images/AIR_F-35A_AA-1_Test_Flight_lg.jpg), Over!"

Tom looked out the porthole and watched as the small aircraft carrier pulled into Formation alongside the Independance

"1st Officer Smith, could you keep an eye open that we don't get to close to the Independance, we still need enough room for take-offs and landing of the F35's, and their should be enough space as well for "the plane guard" during landing precedures of the planes." Captain Cabbot ordered.

(ooc: If you might not know what the term "plane guard" means, our Navy uses Helicopters, which fly next to the carriers deck while planes take-off and land as safety precaution for planes which might end up in the water due a bad landing etc... So that they can safe and rescue the pilot immediatly.)

OOC: Look like Galony doesn't fight on the weekends.
