The Sea Lynx did life off to get a better handle on the identity of the target sub. Fitted with Mk 46, sonar buoys and drag buoy. Three S-3s took off from Vuvuut Naval Base, two armed with 2 Mk 46 torpedoes each and sonar buoys. The third S-3 serving as a tanker for the first two S-3s.
. Lt. Commander Zain said, "Sonar, how did this sub get this close? ... Chief get two other sonar chiefs to review the data of the sonar, find out what happened or did not happen."
Capt to air commander.... just locate with passive, keep a distance stay between the sub and the cargo ships,"
Ensign Brook, pilot of Sea Lynx, "roger, we will keep distance stay between sub and cargo ships."
The suspected Chinese sub continued to close on the 3 cargo ships. Which were carrying the anti-ship missile that are called Carrier Killers, in common speech.
.........
......
Master Chief said, "Commander, we reviewed the data, couple of thing that you need to know! The sub apparently was lurking just off the plateau and around the rocks.... It isn't Chinese, its matched to a North Korean Romeo, one of the 20 they operate." The two chiefs and the Lt Cmdr review the computer visuals to ** CENSORED ** the data. "I confirm the Master Chief" said Chief Rulan. Lt.Cmdr, "is that accurate Chief?" Lt Cmdr Zain, "damn, I don't like it at all. get the capitain on the speaker. Capt, the submarine is a Romeo sub, North Korea sub."
"It is, clear, it is NK SSN Romeo 14. Made in the USSR, on the Sea of Azov."
Lt.Cmdr, "I agree, with your assessment, the data supports your findings. Ah, Capitain, it is north Korean Romeo 14 submarine. I darn well do not like it at all, ma'am."
Capt Huron, "let me see.... the screws.... the noise indicator.... where did it originate from, where is that? thanx Chief... show me what you have? That SOB. Knew we would be here, Heard the cargo vessels for hours."
.
"Activate the sonars, drop the active sonars, collect & process the targeting data. Let the sub hear the helo with sonar buoys only and the S-3s. I do not want him to think he will survive if he does anything. got it. General quarters!!! Get the other helo airbourne."
Several in the CIC responded, "yes ma'am, or Aye, aye Capt."
She walked to bridge to give her a moment alone to think, looking at the waves as the wind blew off the starboard stern.
In the bridge, "I have the bridge." LtCmdr Scotty, replied, "Capt has the bridge". Capt continued, "pick up to 10 knots, listening is more important that closing on the sub, it is North Korean Romeo 14. I think it may want to attack a cargo ship, to sink it. Possibly just cause trouble. cmdr Scott, we will protect those ships to the best of our ability trying to avoid a war or damage. But we will protect the ships and outselves, pending any other orders from Fleet, understand?"
LtCmdr Scott, "yes, ma'am".

The North Korean SSN Romeo 14 moved closer to the shipping lane of Nuvuut rather quickly after the sonar buoys went active pinging. away from the port with a 120 degree to port, then made noise, the slowed and 145 degrees to starboard. There are several ships in the lanes ingress & egress. Targeting the trailing cargo vessel, with spread pattern of 3 torpedoes fired at range of 12 miles. When SSN Romeo 14 fired acquired firing solution by the S-3. dropped blue smoke flare. to cordon off area as marker for the other S-3 and the Sea Lynx. The S-3 245 came after acceleration dropping on the deck. It slowed droped sonar buoy and Mk 46.
Co-pilot... "released, 46 in the water, 46 in the water. Active target confirmed."
After cutting control wires upon hearing sonar buoys, cut wire to the torpedoes, the Romeo increased depth to get below the thermo cline layer. decoy release, decory release 3 times.
....
On the frigate Baron Radcliffe, "Commander" said the sonar operator, "I'm tracking 3 torpedoes from Romeo 14, sent alert to the ships. Sent warning on emergency frequency for all ships. There a problem sir, 2 other torpedoes from another location, about 14 nautical miles, 12 miles from known target.... its now moving, classify as Romeo....".
Lt.Cmdr Zain, "Communications alert Nuvuut and Fleet, ask for some more planes, we need some damn help out here. Chief, let the bridge know. Ask the Capt come down here ASAP!!"
"Commader, 2nd target is Romeo 9."said Sonar,.... "Romeo 9 fired 2 torpedoes at unknown targets. He is going deep now, commander."
S-3 leader, dropped Mk 46 on Romeo 14, "Mk 46 released, sonar."
In the CIC, Zain said, "Capt, the Romeo fired 3 torps at ships in the channel. There is a second Romeo and it fired 2 torpedoes at ships. That was a dang surprise, ma'am."
Capt replied, "have the S-3 done anything for the known romeo? Lets get some more help out here, let rescue know, Coast Guard will need to get out here A-sap."
Zain, "Capt, called for help two Mk 46 dropped on this Romeo by S-3s, our helo was monitoring more toward shore line.'
"Capt impact, impact, explosion in area of Romeo 14", reporting Chief watching the HUD display for sonar.. ....E-3 reporting, "2nd Mk46 explosion, ma'am. .... sounds of breaking hull." Chief, "confirming collapsing hull, Romeo in the death dive ma'am."
.
Impact of a torpedo on a passenger liner registered in Belize, out of Nova Scotia. The passengers were watching whales the previous 2 days. following the whales. Engine room hit. The ship and passengers had warning of 6 minutes. Most of the passengers are from Canada, then the US and some Europeans and Japanese. 3 passengers are members of the Canadian Parliament, 1 from the US House. Boats dropped, passengers in the boats. Most of the crew in the boats and away, about 800 meters from the ship.
.
Torpedo his cargo ship, 2nd torpedo his the same ship. All crew members drop in the enclosed life boats. Ship sunk in about 12 minutes, no loss of life.

4th torpedo explosion in nets of ocean fishing trawler, Trawler starts to burn from the stern. One life boat has 6 members, the other fell and damage with explosion. 4 men in the water, 2 pulled in the life boat, unknown on the others.

[chrisswim]

The two S-3 aircraft flew to pursue the North Korean SSN Romeo 9, Last known area is about 22 nautical miles from the sinking of Romeo 14. About 38 nautical miles from coast of Greenland, less than 80 nm from Canada. The Towed Array of the Type 23 frigate Baron Radcliffe lost detection of Romeo 9. Evaluation of the data collection, was able to go to a deeper depth off the cliff of the sea bed.
. The Sea Lynx had dropped the dipping sonar to listen to and for Romeo 14 for comfirmation data. The sonar needed to go below the thermo cline layer for the best results to ensure it was not a decoy by Romeo 14. .... finally, below sonar operator of the Lynx calls out, "Chief listen, look at the display .... breaking up now, about 8000 ft deep." The Chief replies, stay on it Raggins."
The were dropping their last few sonar buoys. The tanker returned to base already. The S-3s being out of buoys were recalled to Nuvuut Naval Base. The ground crews were trying to get two other S-3s ready with a Mk 46, buoys and tanked, while having the flight crews brief with enough info to be successful.
. After another 10 minutes which seemed longer, over the radio "Sea Lynx 8, retrieve your drone, and head NW twenty-two NM to point 135.40 and 38.28. You have the only 46 available, want to get this guy,... " starts to pull up the cable with sonar, which takes some time.
....
flying northwest to re-locate Romeo 8. "to FFG Radcliffe... we are getting low on fuel, we will not be here long," ... from the FFG, "we know, Sea Lynx 3 is on the way, if your detect anything, that would be helpful to prosecute on this S.O.B. "

[chrisswim]

Sea Lynx 3 on station, dropping some sonar buoys in passive mode to detect the sub. Previous indications it was heading west. Triangulation of several buoys indicate that it is approaching Canadian waters, about 24 miles from their 12 mile limit. It maybe trying to get between two land areas. It is shallow as the depth of the ocean has decreased.
. A look out on the Sea Lynx returning spots a man in the water near the area that the Romeo 14 fired its torpedoes. Swung around and were able to rescue him which took 20 minutes. He was freezing. When back on the FFG Radcliffe, after him being given dry clothes and refreshment he was questions to some degree, with language difficulties. It appears that he was lookout on deck when Romeo went under and the doors were closed. This would have been prior to the attack. He is under guard with bully club and a chief took a sword from one of the plagues in the Chiefs' lounge, which should scare him.
. Capt Huron, Communications, let Vuvuut and Fleet now of current location, transmit data on secure line. Suggest that HQ inform the Canadian Defense Minister that they have a rouge North Korea SSN Romeo, that we have identified as #9. Let the Canadian government know that CoC is prosecuting this target as an act of war.
. S-3 has taken off with one Mk 46 torpedo, and gas tank. One that landed will be re-fueled and re-armed and loaded with sonar buoys. Take about 30 minutes to arrive on point after take off.
....
To the Canadian government, "the Defense forces of the CoC Navy have identified two North Korean submarines, attack subs, of Romeo Class. romeo 14 fired 3 torpedoes and hit a cargo ship which sank. The CoC Navy sank Romeo 14. Romeo 9 fired two torpedoes hitting an Ocean Line that sail from Nova Scotia. It has sunk, rescue efforts are taking place currently. Romeo 9 is approaching Canadian waters, moving away from the CoC navy, as we prosecute. We will sink it or possibly capture it."

The Commonwealth of Chrisdom has received a request for membership by Senegal. One element that is motivating this is the reduced air traffic at the airport in Dakar since the runway at Nouakchott which has then captured business. Also because of the air flights being rerouted because of the Commonwealth. Additionally, the security of a larger network of member countries for mutual defense, additional business opportunities. Of course the Commonwealth will help extend and expand the runways at Dakar, Senegal. Also extend rail lines into Senegal to help with transport and the port in Dakar. Significant economical opportunity for Dakar and Senegal.
. CoC Cabinet will meet to evaluate this request. It does appear favorable. The Leader of the Upper Chamber in Parliament is favorable disposed. The Nigerian representative for the Lower House is also delighted to hear about the request from Senegal.
.
F-35 deliveries of the C & A models is at a slower delivery rate than expected. Discussion with France for the Navy version of the Dassault Rafale. The Commonwealth has acquired 50 more Super Etendards.

North Korean SSN Romeo 9 on the surface... Canada, emergency services, RCMP, SOS, SOS, SOS.
We are a North Korean submarine that is being attacked by an aggressive force of CoC. We are asking for help. Also asking for Asylum from the Republic of Canada. SOS. We are asking for help from emergency service, the RCMP. We are north of Nova Scotia by 58 miles. SOS, HELP!.
Submerged in shallow water, speed 6 knots.
.
Message from CoC to Canadian leadership. Do not accept the the aggressive submarine, North Korean SSN Korean 9, do not grant asylum. We ask that you either require SSN Romeo 9 leave your waters immediately. We are conducting rescue operations for survivors of two ships attacked by this submarine and its sister attack sub.

[chrisswim]

Sea Lynx 3 hovers just above the surface of the ocean 12.1 miles from shore, fires the Mk 46 torpedo targeting Romeo 9. .... it travels a distance of 8 miles .... hit sunken fishing underwater.
. The SSN R-9 sends out another message. SOS, SOS, seeking help against these attacks by CoC. Seeking asylum from Canada.

[chrisswim]

"To the CofC fleet and the North Korean Subs this is the Captain of the Battleship HMCS Confederation of the Atlantic Fleet, you have entered sovereign waters, alter course immediately or we will take defensive action". The 4 St Laurent class Destroyers escorting the Battleship deploy there sea king helicopters to began ASW operations while the Battleship assumes her defensive posture and Launches here own Sea kings as well. the newly commissioned light carrier Bonaventure launches her CA-4 Skyhawks and S-2 trackers to provide air cover.

from Romeo 9
Capt. of Battleship HMCS Confederation of the Atlantic Fleet, we are requesting help. By international treaty and law of all nations, you must respond. We are requesting Asylum. We need assistance, we have injuries. We are running from an aggressive navy force and air attack. We are requesting asylum.
.....
Capt, this is Capt Huron of the the FFG Baron Radcliffe, we have not entered your waters, we are currently 13.4 miles from your shoreline. Please adjust your radar, have it calibrated.
We are pursuing a submarine that fired unprovoked several torpedoes at a Canadian ocean liner. Rescue operations are finishing up. The toruists & staff are being treated and cared for at this time.

[chrisswim]

"North Korean sub your request for asylum in Canada has been denied, alter course out of our sovereign waters now or action will be taken".

"CofC fleet your presence is not welcome here, if your holding any survivors from the Ocean liner we sent out some rescue aircraft to take them back to Canada, afterwards you will leave".

from Romeo 9, we are unable to make it out, we ran ground in these uncharted waters. We need assistance. we ask for rescue.
NK SSN Romeo 9 asks for Asylum.
.
There is not a fleet here. It is one FFG, the Baron Radcliffe, Type 23 frigate. There are 2 planes in the area and helicopter from out ship in International waters. We are here under freedom of navigation rights.
.
As for survivors from your ocean liner, the coast guard and private citizens are taking care of them. Many should be on shore as this time being taken care of with change of clothes, blankets, food, and medical attention including free Rx prescriptions for your old people.
. We will leave when we are good & ready and not before.
.
From Naval Base at Nuvuut, to Canadian task force and Battleship Capitain, You are welcome to charter some flights of air craft to pick up the tourists and staff from the Ocean Liner Poseidon II. Please return the North Korean SSN Romeo 9 to the Commonwealth fleet.
.
To reporters in press briefing, "There have been over 4000 people rescued and brought to Greenland. They are having their needs addressed, they are being processed and evaluated in terms of medical conditions and certainly any injuries that occurred during the sink of the Poseidon II. The sinking of the cargo ship there are some injuries to the crew. IT is a hardship. From the other two cargo ships, which one was military, supplies and equipment have been delivered. So, that is working as it should. Some equipment set up. although since the cargo ship was sunk, missing much of the needed supplies and equipment for NS Nuvuut. But we are able to make due", said Admiral Jonesy.

[chrisswim]

Radio communication on open frequency: The Commonwealth of Chrisdom will grant asylum to romeo 9 and its crew.

[panzergator]

Lessee, here, CofC, first you tell Canada not to grant this supposed NK sub asylum, then, you turn around and offer its crew asylum yourself. Do you have a sub out there masquerading as an NK unit, torpedoing various ships, that you don't want unmasked?

[MechCommander]

The Royal Canadian Navy and the Unified Canadian government finds this very suspicious, why would a North Korean sub travel all the way to Atlantic just to seek asylum? that makes no sense at all, not to mention the presence of only one CofC frigate chasing it? we will launch a full investigation into this matter.

[chrisswim]

Ahhhhhh, Ohhhhhh. an investigation. Wow. This sub and its sister sub each sunk a ship. The Canadian ocean liner Poseidon II and a cargo ship entering port at Nuvuut.
guess you will have to determine what the North Koreans purpose was in sinking each ship or what ship was the real target, and why....
.
Adm Jonesy, "Are you going to sink the Romeo or push it out so we can take care of it?
Either is fine by us. After all, they sank an ocean liner thats port is in Canada. Maybe they are asking for Asylum to avoid getting sunk like Romeo 14. Sink it or we can if you are not able to do so. Oh yeah, go investigate all you want, we encourage that. Please be sure to send it out. over".

[chrisswim]

El Shiek, Sorry we did not get the chance to sit and talk on the flight back from the G-20 conference.
.
Great meetings and really like the IMF, International Monetary Fund, the way they allocate financial resources to help. Various member nations will receive billions of US dollars, multiple billions. Really helpful with the growth so that we can gain hundreds of billions ir not Trillions as the small countries (Yer buoti, etc) get a few hundred thousand dollars. This will help the global economy grow, create wealth as the little guy in the little country gets screwed. How beautiful is that!!! LOL, haha. Laughing all the way to the bank.
.
Heck, there is a country or two that were to receive a few billion, instead they will receive a few million and the Commonwealth will pick up billions more from a dozen countries. This will help the citizens on the Commonwealth and our member nations. Iceland, Greenland, Togo, West Sahara, etc. are examples.

[panzergator]

And Cof C will tax them all.
