V The King Posted February 14, 2009 Report Share Posted February 14, 2009 OOC: Out of curiosity, how are you deploying them? Submarines? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadowsage Posted February 14, 2009 Report Share Posted February 14, 2009 OOC: If memory serves, sea-crawlers ARE submarines? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maelstrom Vortex Posted February 14, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2009 (edited) ooc: Merchant submarines are taking them out to deployment zones and then dropping them into the water from flood able cargo bays and some are magnetically attaching themselves to the outsides of the submarines for towing.

V The King Posted February 14, 2009 Report Share Posted February 14, 2009 (edited) OOC: Might as well note that the Pacific is riddled with underwater SONAR/SOSUS systems and territorial waters are frequently scanned (though I don't think you're building in national waters), meaning that at least in the Pacific, your actions would be very well detected.

Chancellor Bismarck Posted February 14, 2009 Report Share Posted February 14, 2009 (edited) OOC: Also remember that most nations in the Indonesian area are in lockdown, so if they spot a merchant submarine within their lockdown zones they'll be destroyed immediately. In fact, reviewing it, it's impossible to cross a ship through Indonesian waters without getting it destroyed, and if you do cross that way, make sure to give Australia a wide berth, since Promised Land is also under quarantine.

Maelstrom Vortex Posted February 14, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2009 ooc: That they would. Pacific and mid Atlantic SOSUS nets would be detecting the motion of my subs.. but it's not atypical for my merchant submarines to be in motion. They're mercantile vessels.

Going more towards the central pacific staging areas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OOC: Similarly, stretching from Nova Scotia to the Canary Islands (north of that line, actually), I have a SOSUS, which would enable me to easily see these movements.

If you're going to be deploying things at the bottom of the sea, then that's going to be noticed. Merchant submarines are uncommon as well, and a higher movement of those would be noted. Also, consider you've deployed the sea-crawlers once already... EDIT: Me, Mudd, Shan and Triyun built some time ago a really wide SOSUS network, which covers pretty much the whole North and Central Pacific.I'll try to find a map of the Pacific SOSUS, though I don't remember who created the thread.

Maelstrom Vortex Posted February 14, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2009 (edited) The Dragonisian Navy knew they were being monitored, which is why they kept to international waters free and clear of all coastlines. They were going to move to their positions and wait further orders, not dispersed in a net, but actually traveling as a bit of a small fleet. Once they were in their staging areas, the ones in the Atlantic made their way towards the cape between Africa and Antarctica, staying as far away from the populated coasts as possible. The Pacific Fleet, which had organized itself south of Tasmania, moved into the central Indian Ocean. A defensive web stayed tight to India and Tasmania. 2000 missiles remained on defense.. 1000 were in each of the major fleet deployments.
