Chapter 616 Choose a Strong One

"What are the Americans doing? Are they taking the wrong medicine?" Standing on the tall bridge, using a high-power telescope, he could clearly see the formation of the Americans. Captain Dovbonya was a little confused. The aircraft carrier formation was a protective circle, with the aircraft carriers placed in the innermost part, but now, the American aircraft carrier formation on the opposite side was actually lined up in a row!

Although the three aircraft carriers were lined up in a row, they were simply targets without any escorting warships on the left, right, or behind them! If he was authorized now, he could definitely use the first round of anti-ship missile attacks to destroy the American aircraft carriers!

What a pity this good opportunity is gone!

Before setting off, Captain Dovbonya was summoned by the Navy Commander-in-Chief Gorshkov, who explained to him the main strategic purpose of the operation, which was to put pressure on Turkey and fully contain the American military operations in the Mediterranean, but it was definitely not a war!

Going to war now is not good for the Soviet Union either! Because the Soviet Navy is still in the development stage. If in another ten years, there are more than a dozen aircraft carrier fleets sailing in the world's oceans, then the Soviet era will be truly here, and the navy can walk sideways around the world!

Just now, the Soviet Navy passed through the Turkish Straits, which showed the strength of the Soviet Navy and threatened Turkey. Turkey was indeed a soft egg and immediately wilted. But now, the American Navy is in front of them! The Americans will never compromise easily!

"The Americans want to stop us at sea. The line array they set up almost covers our route. If we want to continue sailing, we need to pass through the US Navy formation. It is obvious that the Americans will not let us pass through their formation. They want to stop us in this way." said the first mate on the side.

Blocking our own side, relying on this kind of array? Looking at the American warships on the sea in the distance again, Captain Doverbonia felt an indescribable contempt. Those guys on the opposite side, their foreheads must have been crushed, right?

"Immediately ask Moscow for instructions via satellite!" said Captain Dovbonya. "We request to ram the American fleet and open a path!"

Ask Moscow for instructions! Captain Dovbonya cannot act on his own. He still needs to ask Moscow for instructions for a direct collision with the US Navy.

The radio waves were quickly transmitted back to Moscow via satellite. Gorshkov, who received the news, quickly reported to Andropov.

Sitting in the chair, Andropov listened to the whole incident. His narrowed eyes slowly brightened: "In the Turkish Straits, our navy did a good job! Since we will not compromise in the Turkish Straits, then what do we have to fear in the Aegean Sea? Tell Dovbonya to do it with confidence. By the way, choose a sturdy ship."

The Aegean Sea is the high seas! On the high seas, the Americans want to stop their aircraft carrier fleet? The Soviet Union will never compromise and will definitely fight back!

The Aegean Sea is a famous tourist destination, and now is the peak season for tourism. Under the sunlight, the sea water is crystal clear, with a bright golden glow. The sea breeze is blowing, and the climate is mild. On the beach, countless tourists are swimming in the sea in swimsuits, enjoying this most beautiful time.

The sky is clear, the sun is shining, the sea breeze is warm, it’s a warm paradise!

Unfortunately, on this day, this scene was broken. On the sea, one steel monster after another exuded a solemn atmosphere. The most intense sea collision since the Cold War began!

The US Navy's warships were lined up in a row, occupying a wide sea surface, while on the opposite side, the Soviet naval formation was constantly approaching.

The roar of fighter planes could be heard from the sky from time to time. This confrontation could turn into a fierce maritime conflict at any time!

In the center of the U.S. fleet, the 7,700-ton Spruance-class destroyer USS Carron was facing the Soviet naval formation. On the bridge, the bearded Captain Raymond looked at the Soviet naval formation on the sea in the distance, picked up his microphone, and then his voice rang out from the tweeter.

"Soviet naval fleet opposite, we are conducting anti-submarine exercises, please move out of our exercise area, please move out of our exercise area!" Raymond shouted to the opposite side.

"This is international waters. We have the right to freedom of navigation. Please get out of the way!" On the other side, in the Soviet fleet, the Novorossiysk aircraft carrier turned on its loudspeakers and shouted to the other side: "Your presence has seriously disrupted our normal navigation! Please abide by international law and change course immediately!"

Find the strongest ship! After receiving the order from Moscow, Captain Dovbonya was prepared in his heart. If he had to say the strongest ship, it would definitely be his own aircraft carrier! And his own aircraft carrier formation would rely on this aircraft carrier to attack!

When an aircraft carrier is built, the most advanced steel plates are used, which have a very high yield strength. Safe sailing can be guaranteed even in sea conditions above level 10. Moreover, in an impending collision, the one with a larger displacement will definitely have the advantage!

Since the opponent has not revealed his weapons, we cannot use our weapons to kill him. And the opponent has set up such a formation. Therefore, facing these guys, our only choice is to use a collision tactic!

"We will not change course. This is our normal exercise. Please abide by international norms!" On the destroyer Karen, Raymond shouted into a tweeter while watching the changes in the Soviet formation opposite.

The two small-tonnage frigates in front are approaching to both sides, while in the middle, the aircraft carrier with a displacement of more than 40,000 tons is accelerating towards them!

What are the Soviets doing? Are they showing off their aircraft carriers to see who is bigger? If so, we should show off the three aircraft carriers at the back, whose tonnage far exceeds that of the Soviets' aircraft carriers!

While thinking about it, Raymond suddenly felt something was wrong, because the Soviet aircraft carrier was now accelerating!

Sailing a ship on the sea is not as easy as driving a car on land. A ship requires many people to operate together. At the same time, acceleration and deceleration require a lot of time and distance.

Now, the Soviet aircraft carriers are accelerating, and their fleets are accelerating! Through simple calculations, Raymond knew that according to this trend, when the enemy's aircraft carriers reach their own waters, they will definitely not be able to stop!

What were the Soviets going to do? They certainly weren't going to sharpen their weapons before the battle. They were sending out carrier-based aircraft at this time. God, were they going to use the aircraft carrier to ram their own ships?
