Seawolf Campaign series version 3. China's saber-rattling has crashed the Asian economy, and China decided best way to sustain itself is to take over Spratly islands and its resources. US is not going to stand for that and scrambled USS Seawolf out of Guam...
-----
00:00 Start
Previously, USS Seawolf dashed back to Guam and picked up a SEAL team to be dropped off at Yulin Naval Base, Hainan Island, PROC. We did that, then failed to catch a Russian surface naval group (flying PROC flag) in the South China Sea because we decided to dash back to Guam for more weapons, having offloaded most of it to load the SEAL team. Our latest assignment is... Go back to Guam and load ANOTHER SEAL team for Yulin again? We must be really gunning for that base!
02:00 Yulin again
We were able to avoid all contacts from Guam to Yulin, despite being detected by maritime patrol, by detouring around the south of Paracel Islands.
With prior knowledge of the area, we again pinpointed the ships patrolling the area, and recalled the minefield location (roughly).
We snuck in when north/south patrol ship was heading south.
We dropped off the SEAL team without incident. But that's only half of the battle, as the dipping helo must have caught a whiff of us, and dropped a torpedo 8 km to our south, and now both of the nearest escorts are heading for that spot. And one of those ships WILL detect us on active sonar if they keep coming closer.
With no other choice, we launched 2 (out of 7) torpedoes, and sank both ships, right after one ship slowed way down to detect us. As that also cleared our surroundings (helo is nowhere near us) we disengaged. Yulin naval base was lit up, and COMSUBPAC was happy.
NEW PRIORITY MISSION: Go into Formosa Strait (between Taiwan and China) and destroy the PLAN wolfpack there.
We again went around the Paracel Islands and got into position without bumping into any other PLAN contacts. That is good because we only have 5 torpedoes and 1 MOSS decoy onboard.
12:50 Shallow Waters
Unfortunately, Formosa Strait is shallow AND noisy. We detected only 2 civilian contacts, forcing us to go active to hunt for our prey.
15:44 Wolfpack Hunting
After going active with one ping, we got a contact to northeast, which we immediately launched a torpedo at.
A minute later, we got cavitation to the east, which we also launched a torpedo at.
Both subs replied with multiple torpedoes. Both subs are sunk. They were identified as a Song and a Kilo. We retracted towed array, hugged the bottom, and went to flank speed to evade, and those torpedoes never acquired us.
However, another launch transient was heard to north-northeast. There was a third sub out there. We launched against that bearing, but when we slowed, we heard nothing. We went active again, and found a contact to our east-northeast. That means she's close. We turned the torpedo toward that direction, then with another ping, got a positive lock-on, and that sub, identified as Song class, was sunk as well. MISSION ACCOMPLISHED.
NEW PRIORITY MISSION: TLAM strike against Qingdao.
We had to dash back to Guam to load TLAMs. As for how I fare in the next mission... That will be in the NEXT episode. So, stay tuned!

In the hypothetical Cold Waters (DotMod) Y2000 NATO campaign, Taiwan declared independence, and Great Britain delayed returning Hong Kong to China after massive protests. China threatened retaliation, which crashed the Asian economy. Russia decided to have an arms fire sale to China... and China is buying naval assets (along with Russian "advisors") to take over the South China Sea and its resources, plus attacks on nearby countries. NATO decided to intervene... and the first response was US Navy Submarines... USS Seawolf, the most advanced predator of the oceans...
