Chapter Fifty-Four: Missing Sub Pt2

NARUTO'S P.O.V: BRIEFING ROOM 1800 HOURS 

"As of yesterday morning, we have confirmed that one of our Stealth submarines is missing within the water of Japan, near its regular patrol routes. All outgoing transmissions to the sub came back with no response and the transponder of the vessel isn't active. Our mission is a search and rescue of the sub and its crew, should that not be possible, then this is a search, rescue, and destroy, rescue the crew and detonate the sub underwater." 

The room was silent as the situation was grave, a stealth nuclear powered and nuclear-capable sub is missing within its normal patrol routes, meaning either the Japanese is in on the invasion of the US or Russia is growing more balls to attack a guided missile sub. 

"So hold up, How come a stealth sub, capable of torpedoes and a missile capable, be missing? A sub that size can't be taken out but any Russian Submarine or ship" 

The concerned voiced opinion came from Clay, the other's agreeing with his statement and to be fair, I agree as well, there was no way that the sub's sensors didn't pick up that ship before it was in the range of them. 

I mean the sub has acoustic warfare systems, they are just no way it can be spotted by a ship that easily unless something was wrong or the sub's crew has been compromised. The first answer was entirely stupid since they wouldn't send out the sub if they know something was wrong. 

The second one could be a possibility as the Transmission was making no sense. They dived at 15 degrees and full speed as well, meaning they were getting away from something but what. A ship could be the answer but it still doesn't add up, how does a ship get that close without radar, sonar, or the acoustic officer not picking up anything?

"That's what we are going to find out Clay, the plan is complex and has death at every corner, I can't force any of you guys to go so this decision is up to you all. Are you willing?" 

I looked around at the three teams in front of me, I could see that they were thinking about it. This mission, the plan to execute said mission and the possibility of death were almost certain, they were little to no intelligence about the area or the enemy possibility. 

"We are all up for it boss, just say the word"

I looked at Pops and the task force, seeing them all nodding to agree with him and I nodded at them in thanks. 

"Bravo is always ready for the challenge Commander" 

Jason said and I turned my attention towards Bravo to see them all agreeing with the Masterchief. I looked towards my team, they were hesitant about going and I understand, they were still adjusting to this life of Special Forces. 

"We go where you go boss, Demon Dogs is always ready to go."

I smiled at the answer and could see the determination on their faces, guess they took nicely to Santos being the leader when I wasn't there. 

"Alright, that is good and all but what about the fact that we don't know where it is and that the sub is a stealth one as well as that there is an unknown amount of enemies present, so what's the plan?"

 I looked up at my mother who was with us and just smiled. 

"The plan...."

Helicopter blades spin up in the distance as you could see the teams boarding their different Sea Stallions. 

"..We used the helicopter's transport and our eyes and ears, Demon will be in the air, their mission is to search the surface of the water, look for any surface ship and it's their job to take it out, any way they can."
