Chapter 167 Aircraft Carrier Nemesis
Captain Hill's face turned pale and he dialed the communication equipment to request support from the Norfolk base.

"This is the USS Eisenhower. The engine is completely damaged and cannot be replaced on the spot. It needs to be towed back to the base for repairs. Please send assistance immediately."

After receiving the news, the Norfolk base fell into a brief silence.

Everyone was shocked.

Aircraft carrier malfunctions due to jellyfish are usually low-probability events. How could this happen to the USS Eisenhower?
"I can only say that the Eisenhower is really unlucky."

Soon, the top management of the Norfolk base came up with a response plan.

They dispatched another aircraft carrier, the USS Truman, to the area where the damaged USS Eisenhower was located to carry out rescue operations.

The USS Truman will tow the Eisenhower back to base.

The USS Truman sailed towards the accident area at full speed.

After receiving the communication from the Norfolk base, Colonel Hill, the captain of the USS Eisenhower, breathed a sigh of relief.

He communicated with other officers on the bridge:
"The Truman is on its way and will be here soon. It won't be a big problem."

However, this joy did not last long.

……

Half an hour later.

The communication station equipment at the Norfolk base suddenly rang, and an incredible message came:

“This is the USS Truman…We have the same problem!

"The jellyfish was sucked into the compressor, the engine was damaged, and it is now completely unable to move! Urgent rescue is needed!"

Admiral Bellinger, commander of the Norfolk base, was almost stunned when he heard the news.

No!

Your USS Truman is going to rescue the USS Eisenhower, how could you sacrifice yourself?

The fact that two aircraft carriers were paralyzed in a row for the same reason puzzled Bellinger and the experts at the Norfolk base.

what happened?

Is it possible that I saw a ghost?

Meanwhile, the USS Eisenhower.

Captain Hill had just learned the news about the Truman.

At first, he thought it was some kind of misunderstanding, but only after repeated confirmation did he accept the fact.

He was speechless for a moment and sat in the command chair on the bridge, unable to speak for a long time.

The adjutant beside him whispered:

"Is this a coincidence, or is there some other reason?"

Hill took a deep breath:

"Is it really such a coincidence that two aircraft carriers have experienced the same malfunction one after another?"

……

A few kilometers below the sea surface.

Jianghuai floats leisurely in the water.

He lurked in the shadows of the ocean, watching grimly as these giants fell into trouble.

"This is just the beginning."

Jiang Huai laughed secretly in his heart:

"Next, I will gradually dismantle the US's maritime hegemony and make you sink deeper and deeper into the quagmire."

……

The atmosphere in the conference hall of the Norfolk base was extremely solemn.

Dozens of engineers and officers sat around a huge long table, with a report on the aircraft carrier's failure in front of them.

A senior engineer spoke first. He adjusted his glasses and said in a heavy tone:
"The cause of the engine failure on the Eisenhower and Truman has been confirmed.

“Swarms of jellyfish were pouring into the compressor system through the seawater intakes, causing blockage and damage to critical components.

"The probability of this happening should be extremely low, but now two aircraft carriers have encountered the same problem in a row."

This caused a murmur. After several biologists whispered to each other, one of them stood up and said:

"Based on our research on the Atlantic ecosystem, although jellyfish populations may increase significantly during certain seasons, it is unusual for them to actively flock to a metallic behemoth like an aircraft carrier.

"Jellyfish have a biological instinct to avoid these high noise and high temperature environments."

A general asked in a deep voice:
"So here comes the question. Why do these jellyfish behave in such an abnormal way? Is it a natural change or...something else?"

The conference room fell into a brief silence.

No one can give a clear answer.

Admiral Bellinger knocked on the table, interrupting the noise of the meeting.

His voice was majestic, with a hint of impatience:
"Whatever the cause, we need to resolve the problem immediately. It is unacceptable to have two aircraft carriers stranded at sea."

He looked at the logistics commander and gave the order:
"Since the aircraft carrier cannot move, I can't risk sending a third aircraft carrier, so we will send a tugboat.

"Organize dozens of tugboats and form a rescue team to tow the Eisenhower and Truman back to the base for repairs as soon as possible."

The subordinates carried out the order immediately.

The dock at the Norfolk base quickly became busy.

……

Soon.

Dozens of tugboats were urgently mobilized, and the crew members quickly went out to sea under intense command.

After the tugboat team left the base, the command center has been monitoring their movements in real time via satellite.

Everyone held their breath, hoping that the operation would be completed successfully.

However, just half an hour later, an urgent call suddenly rang out from the communication device.

"This is Tugboat One! Our engine is broken. After inspection, we found that it is blocked by jellyfish! Requesting support!"

"Tugboat Seven reporting! Our thrusters have completely stopped functioning! The situation is similar to a carrier failure!"

"Tugboat Fifteen...our engine is disabled too!"

The voices of the correspondents came one after another, and bad news came one after another.

As the tugboats approached the Eisenhower and Truman, they all encountered almost the same problem.

Invaded by a swarm of jellyfish, causing breakdown and paralysis.

There was dead silence in the command center. The officer on duty stared blankly at the tugboat mark on the screen which gradually stopped moving, at a loss as to what to do.

"Are these jellyfish crazy? Are they all dying?"

Someone exclaimed in a low voice.

Almost at the same time as the tugboat lost contact, the captains of the Eisenhower and Truman sent emergency communications again.

Captain Hill's voice was filled with disbelief:

"Report! The engine systems of the escort ships and destroyers accompanying the aircraft carrier have also malfunctioned one after another! The situation is exactly the same as the aircraft carrier, and swarms of jellyfish are pouring in again!"

The command center at the Norfolk base fell into unprecedented chaos.

The communicators were busy collating reports from various fleets, while the engineers were anxiously discussing response plans.

After hearing this series of reports, Admiral Bellinger slowly stood up with an expression of disbelief.

He could hardly believe his ears.

"Two aircraft carriers, more than a dozen frigates, and the tugboat fleet that went to rescue them...were all paralyzed by jellyfish?"

His voice trembled with anger.

He glanced at the staff officers around him, and everyone had their heads lowered.

As a powerful navy of the United States, it was made so embarrassed by a group of marine creatures with no intelligence at all.

Bellinger gritted his teeth, slammed the table hard, and shouted:

"We must find out the truth! Investigate why the jellyfish went crazy!"

The Norfolk base was in chaos.

The experts held a second emergency meeting.
