Surveillance
« on: January 16, 2016, 09:43:07 pm »
A Floréal-Class Frigate, a ship designed for surveillance and/or coastal protection recently put into service with the Alliance Navy, puts to sea from its port in Northern France. It's current course will take it straight through the North Sea and along the coast of Norway.

The ship is relatively small for a warship, and sighting it on radar will reveal what appears to be a large fishing boat or something of that nature. It would take direct visual examination to make out that it is, in fact, a warship and not a civilian craft.

The original frigate is near the northern coast of Norway. It has begun proceeding to the east, through the Barents Sea.

A second Floréal-Class Frigate exits port in French Guiana, making its way south along the Brazilian coast line. After a short amount of time, it activates its surveillance equipment. Radio messages are intercepted, land based radar locations are triangulated, ship positions are charted, etc.

The original frigate, having received new orders, begins returning to its home port.

The other continues its task along the Brazilian coast line.

A sailor aboard the Alentejo-class cruiser HMS Minho, which is on its regular patrol, spots the strange vessel. After notifying the watch commander the Minho begins hailing the vessel.

The Captain of the frigate orders a course change, taking the frigate towards international waters. After the new course is set, he answers the cruiser's hails by opening a channel. He says nothing.

A Hobart Class Destroyer notices the ship, and starts sailing towards it, weapons at the ready.

The  Minho will hold its position, observing the unidentified vessel and asking it to identify itself. If it makes no aggressive actions, however, Minho will not arm weapons.

The Minho's requests are unanswered as the unmarked ship sails into international waters, heading East.

Said loud hum is promptly ignored.

The Imperious, a Sovremennyy-class destroyer, gains a visually of an unidentifiable vessel flying Francophone colours. The Imperious moves to intercept the vessel while attempting to hail it's commander, while beginning to train its main cannon at its bridge.

A large 125m long whale erupts from the ocean about a click from the Francophone Alliance's Ship. Graciously and miraculously, it begins to fly away to the heavens.

The frigate's fire control systems go active and paint the Imperious with fire control and tracking radars. Two Exocet missiles are continually fed updated firing solutions on the ship. The frigate's 100mm gun rotates, pointing at the Imperious.

The commander responds to Imperious's hails. "This is Capitaine Toutain of the frigate Vendémiaire. State your intentions."

The Flying Whale climbs to 20,000 feet and positions itself directly over the French Ship.
