Doomsday: I Build a Space Fleet

After all 18 anti-ship missiles were launched, unmanned combat boats numbered 1 to 9 also began their full-speed charge.

[Battle Duration: 0:44:05]

Upon detecting the overlord's actions, unmanned combat vessels 16-21 began launching self-propelled acoustic decoys to both sides. At the same time, these six unmanned combat vessels dispersed to both sides in groups of three.

During the turn, the six unmanned combat vessels also launched a heavy torpedo in the direction of the approaching overlord.

[Battle Duration: 0:44:45]

Thirty-six self-propelled acoustic decoys wove a huge jamming net at sea, while the seekers of the six heavy torpedoes had already pre-loaded the acoustic signatures of the decoys, so this huge jamming net was like a one-way smoke screen spread out in the water.

With the help of this jamming net, the six heavy torpedoes successfully reached the side of the overlord.

[Battle Duration: 0:44:50]

Using the sonar device on the sea surface, Lorraine quickly learned the destructive effects of the six heavy torpedoes.

[A heavy torpedo struck the Overlord directly in the midsection; as it swerved to the left to avoid the torpedo, it crashed into the blast radius of the heavy torpedo launched by boat number 20.]

[Battle Duration: 0:45:20]

[The Overlord's maximum speed has dropped to 50 knots, and it is currently chasing unmanned combat boats 19-21, which are maneuvering towards the northern sea area.]

[Combat craft numbered 1 through 9 are expected to arrive at the flank of unmanned combat craft number 19 in one minute and twenty seconds.]

[Unmanned combat vessels 16-18 are changing direction and are expected to arrive behind unmanned vessels 19-20 in one minute and fifty seconds.]

Lorraine then slightly reduced the size of the holographic sand table and looked at the 10-15 unmanned combat boats that were maneuvering toward the ambush area.

[The encirclement is expected to be completed in two minutes.]

[Battle Duration: 0:45:42]

[All torpedo boats have arrived in the waters west of the destroyer group and are maneuvering north of the main destroyer. They are expected to reach their designated positions in 3 minutes and 10 seconds.]

[Battle Duration: 0:46:00]

In an attempt to further buy time, unmanned combat boats numbered 22 to 30 behind the three destroyers launched all of their missiles.

[Battle Duration: 0:46:10]

The unmanned surface vessels 19-21, which were being pursued, fired their remaining six torpedoes at the overlord that was chasing them from behind.

At this moment, a total of 42 heavy torpedoes appeared in the waters surrounding the overlord and were heading towards it.

[Battle Duration: 0:46:20]

A total of 42 heavy torpedoes exploded in the water almost simultaneously, and the powerful shock wave created a huge bulge on the sea surface.

[Battle Duration: 0:46:40]

[The ocean behemoth is rapidly ascending, its target being the unmanned combat vessel No. 19. Its current speed is 65 knots, and a collision is expected in 20 seconds.]

Because the target creature was too close to combat vessel No. 19, in order to avoid accidental damage, the unmanned combat vessels No. 1 to No. 9, which were already in place, did not launch heavy torpedoes at the Overlord.

[Battle Duration: 0:47:02]

Instead of leaping out of the water, the overlord made a sharp turn and submerged on the port side of combat boat 19. Then, a huge tail fin emerged from the water and slammed heavily into the middle of the hull of combat boat 19.

Yao Guang did not equip these unmanned vessels, which were carrying out anti-submarine warfare, with bow armaments, so they could not take this opportunity to attack the Overlord.

[Battle Duration: 0:47:04]

[The port hull of unmanned combat vessel No. 19 is cracked, the port connecting bridge is broken, the port acoustic decoy launcher has lost connection, and the maximum speed has dropped to 30 knots.]

At the same time the damage report popped up, Lorraine also received the analysis results that Cleveland had just obtained.

[The torpedo's destructive effect met expectations. This marine behemoth has extremely strong resistance to explosions; only a direct torpedo hit can achieve the best destructive effect.]

The algae on the surface of this giant creature are likely responsible for providing it with energy. Furthermore, this marine behemoth possesses a strong regenerative capacity, although observations indicate that the regenerative effect is gradually declining.

After reading the analysis report, Lorraine glanced at the number of torpedoes stored inside the flagship and finally revealed a sinister smile.

"Now we'll see whether you have more energy reserves or more industrialized products."

[Battle Duration: 0:47:10]

Lorraine divided the 10 unmanned torpedo boats into two groups, preparing to launch torpedoes at the Overlord in batches.

Subsequently, Lorraine began to call upon 10 unmanned torpedo boats that were waiting at the Red Peak Island military pier, ordering these unmanned torpedo boats, fully loaded with torpedoes and depth charges, to join the hunt.

[Battle Duration: 0:47:30]

The Overlord returned to the vicinity of the No. 19 unmanned combat vessel and then struck the midsection of the No. 19 combat vessel again with its tail fin.

[The starboard side of the No. 19 unmanned combat vessel is cracked, the starboard connecting bridge is bent, the starboard acoustic decoy launcher has lost connection, and the maximum speed has dropped to 23.8 knots.]

[Unmanned combat vessel No. 19 has fallen below the return-to-base and maintenance thresholds. The bow sonar has switched to active mode and begun maximum-range detection.]

[Battle Duration: 0:47:35]

Unmanned combat vessels numbered one through nine began to turn and then launched 18 torpedoes using the torpedo launchers at the stern of the hull. These 18 heavy torpedoes locked onto the Overlord, which was attacking unmanned combat vessel number 19.

[Battle Duration: 0:47:42]

A series of huge splashes of water exploded on the side of the No. 19 unmanned combat boat. Through the optical probes equipped on the unmanned combat boat, it could be seen that some gray-green "impurities" were mixed in with these splashes.

Three heavy torpedoes hit the Overlord directly.

[Battle Duration: 0:47:44]

[The No. 19 unmanned combat boat has suffered multiple cracks in its hull. Backup power has been activated, and it is expected to sink in 3 minutes and 20 seconds.]

[Battle Duration: 0:47:55]

The giant ocean creature exhibits varying degrees of deformation on its back and abdomen.

The ocean behemoth is attacking unmanned combat vessel number 20.

[Battle Duration: 0:48:00]

The ocean behemoth launched an attack from the stern of combat boat No. 20. The torpedo tubes at the stern of unmanned combat boat No. 20 lost contact, its main propulsion system failed, its hull was damaged, and its maximum speed dropped to 5 knots.

[Battle Duration: 0:48:05]

[The ocean behemoth is turning towards unmanned combat vessel No. 21 and is expected to make contact in 40 seconds.]

"Unmanned combat vessels 16-18 launched torpedoes behind unmanned combat vessel 21, and the torpedoes were switched to impact fuses."

[The impact fuse has been activated and is expected to reach the target location in 35 seconds.]

Subsequently, unmanned combat vessels 16-18 turned to the left, revealing the last remaining torpedo in the triple 533mm torpedo launcher at the stern.

[Battle Duration: 0:48:37]

As one of the heavy torpedoes was about to reach the rear of the No. 21 unmanned combat vessel, the Overlord, which was moving to the left of the torpedo, immediately began to turn.

[Battle Duration: 0:48:39]

A huge splash of water erupted to the left rear of the No. 21 unmanned combat vessel, and the splash even hit the torpedo tubes at the rear of the vessel.

[Battle Duration: 0:48:40]

Before the waves had subsided, two more huge splashes of water exploded behind the No. 21 unmanned boat, this time successfully causing the pursuing overlord to briefly lose sight of its target.

The explosions of these two torpedoes also successfully forced the Overlord to slow down and change direction.

[Battle Duration: 0:48:45]

The sonars equipped on unmanned combat vessels 16-18 emitted low-frequency sound waves at maximum power at the same time.

These three low-frequency sound waves interfered with the overlord once again.

在16~18号无人作战艇拖延的时间里，21号无人作战艇已经跑出去了100多米，但此时它和霸主也只有200米左右的距离

At this moment, the closest to these four unmanned combat vessels are the torpedo boats Strike 1 through Strike 5, but they still need 67 seconds to reach the scene.

[Battle Duration: 0:48:50]

After a moment's hesitation, Lorraine decided to have the five torpedo boats fire simultaneously ahead of schedule.

Immediately afterwards, a series of high-pressure gas ejection sounds and the sound of torpedoes hitting the water rang out on the sea surface.

However, the 20 torpedoes did not head towards the current location of this overlord, but instead headed towards the area below the No. 21 unmanned combat boat.

After launching the torpedoes, the five torpedo boats began to turn, choosing a route that would cross the sea area but would allow them to return to the flagship as quickly as possible.

[Battle Duration: 0:49:17]

[The ocean behemoth is about to arrive at the left side of unmanned combat vessel No. 21]

[Battle Duration: 0:49:20]

This time, the overlord's tail fin slammed diagonally towards the stern of combat boat No. 21. After this impact, the left side of the stern of combat boat No. 21 was dented, the left connecting bridge broke, and the left side of the hull detached.

The moment the tail fin entered the water, one of the torpedoes launched by the torpedo boat struck the tyrant's tail fin with pinpoint accuracy.

Due to the close proximity, the torpedo not only shattered the tail fin of the tyrant, but also tore a large hole in the middle of the hull of the No. 21 combat boat.

[Battle Duration: 0:49:21]

The remaining 19 torpedoes exploded around the Overlord, completely tearing the bottom of the No. 21 unmanned combat boat apart.

[Battle Duration: 0:49:35]

The Overlord slowly sank to a depth of 100 meters to the left front of the No. 21 combat boat.

According to information sent by unmanned combat vessels 16-18, Lorraine was able to detect that the tail fin, which had been hit by a heavy torpedo, was rapidly forming.

"The first phase of the operation has been completed. The destroyer launched 60 anti-submarine missiles, forcing the hegemon to begin tightening its encirclement."

Being hit by the tail fin means that the Overlord's mobility will be drastically reduced, while the rapidly developing tail fin means that the Overlord is rapidly consuming the energy stored in its body.

It must be said that this accidental torpedo launch was indeed somewhat unexpected, but it is something that simulated combat and exercises cannot replicate.

Following Lorraine's order, the Peregrine 20F anti-submarine helicopter, hovering above the sea, retracted its towed sonar and began flying toward the destroyer to replenish its consumed aviation kerosene and replace its onboard equipment.

Unmanned combat vessels numbered 22 to 30 began to advance from the northern waters toward the location of the overlord, while unmanned combat vessels numbered 10 to 15 in the eastern waters also began to move toward the central area.

However, the three destroyers located in the southern waters did not move; they simply adjusted their sonar detection systems to maximum power.

At this point, the unmanned combat boats departing from the dock will still need 50 minutes to reach the battlefield.

[Battle Duration: 0:49:40]

With the sinking of unmanned combat vessel No. 21, unmanned combat vessels No. 16-18 became the target of the Overlord's attack. At this time, the Overlord was advancing towards the closest unmanned combat vessel No. 18.

[Battle Duration: 0:49:45]

At this point, there were still 5 minutes before the initial encirclement was formed. During these 5 minutes, the three unmanned boats had only one mission: to delay the enemy for as long as possible.

These unmanned boats have lost all their weapons and acoustic decoys.

The three Peregrine 20F anti-submarine helicopters were stripped of their sonar and equipped with four lightweight torpedoes, ready to provide cover for three unmanned surface vessels.

At the same time, Lorraine adjusted the torpedo launching method of the torpedo boats, changing it to a single torpedo boat launching two torpedoes simultaneously.

[Battle Duration: 0:50:00]

The Strike Six torpedo boat was the first to reach the vicinity of the three unmanned boats, and then launched two heavy torpedoes simultaneously.

This time, the Overlord did not ignore the two heavy torpedoes. Upon detection, it immediately changed direction and moved towards the direction from which the torpedoes were coming.

Then, at a distance of about 100 meters from the torpedoes, it suddenly made a sharp turn and dodged the attack of the two torpedoes.

[Battle Duration: 0:50:30]

After dodging the torpedoes, the Overlord began to advance in the direction from which the torpedoes had come, preparing to launch a counterattack against the torpedo boats.

[Battle Duration: 0:50:35]

After receiving the message from the data link, the Strike 6 torpedo boat launched three depth charges in the direction of the approaching Overlord, followed by two torpedoes.

[Battle Duration: 0:50:45]

Two depth charges exploded in water at a depth of 0 meters. Under the cover of the explosions, the torpedo boat quickly turned and escaped the battlefield.

As a precaution, the three unmanned boats located behind the Overlord each fired a low-frequency sound wave at maximum power towards the Overlord.

[Battle Duration: 0:50:50]

Perhaps due to the excessive energy consumed in repairing the tail fin, the Overlord did not pursue the torpedo boat traveling at its maximum speed of 60 knots, but instead turned around and launched another attack on the unmanned combat vessel.

[Battle Duration: 0:51:00]

The refitted Peregrine 20F anti-submarine helicopter arrived at the flank of the unmanned surface vessel. Based on the information collected by the unmanned surface vessel, the anti-submarine helicopter slightly adjusted its position and descended its altitude. Then, it dropped two light torpedoes on the left side of the Overlord's path of advance.

[Battle Duration: 0:51:10]

The two torpedoes dropped by the anti-submarine helicopter traveled along the predetermined route and successfully appeared to the left rear of the Overlord. In order to avoid being injured, the Overlord swung its tail fin and propelled itself to make a sharp turn, successfully dodging the attack of the two torpedoes.

[Battle Duration: 0:51:20]

After identifying the overlord's evasion method, the anti-submarine helicopter launched two more lightweight torpedoes in the same manner before beginning its return journey to the DDG-1 ship.

Meanwhile, an anti-submarine helicopter that took off from DDG-2 arrived at the position where the Overlord was about to evade the torpedoes, and then descended.

[Battle Duration: 0:51:30]

Faced with two light torpedoes coming from the same angle, the Overlord swung its tail fin and used the same trick again, but then it faced two light torpedoes that had just been dropped by an anti-submarine helicopter.

The two lightweight torpedoes exploded precisely on the head of the Overlord.
