his is after two weeks of patrol in the North Atlantic that the nuclear-powered attack submarine (SNA) Sapphire arrived in the waters of Florida to participate in a major exercise ten days with the US Navy. The objective of this exercise was to train a US carrier battle group (CSG 12 Carrier Strike Group 12) composed of the aircraft carrier Theodore Roosevelt, several Ticonderoga or Arleigh Burke-class frigates and a type of submarine Los Angeles, prior to operational deployment.
The exercise scenario involved an assault of American economic and territorial interests by fictitious statements. In response, a naval force, led by Theodore Roosevelt was established to deal with any eventuality.
During the first phase of the exercise, the Saphir was integrated into the navy girlfriend in direct support with the mission to make anti-submarine warfare in SOUMAIR cooperation with maritime patrol aircraft type P3-C Orion P8 Poseidon. He had to postpone all contacts obtained on enemy submarines and share them with other anti-submarine means of theater (maritime patrol aircraft, helicopters and frigates ASM).
In a second phase, the Sapphire, was integrated with enemy forces and mission was to locate the aircraft carrier Theodore Roosevelt and other buildings friend naval force and be ready to attack. The political situation deteriorating by the day, the Saphir has quietly slipped in the heart of the screen formed by the American frigates protecting the aircraft carrier, while avoiding detection against-pervasive air assets. On the morning of the last day, the order of fire was finally given, allowing the Sapphire fictitiously sink the Theodore Roosevelt and most of his escort.
After the year ended, the Saphir won Norfolk largest naval base in the world, for a stopover for maintaining links with the US Navy. There were many discussions with the crews of Los Angeles, especially with sailors from Newport News SSN designated host building during the stopover.
The admiral commanding the submarine forces and strategic oceanic force (ALFOST) joined the Sapphire stopover to meet with the commander of the Sapphire, the Rear Admiral Butler, commander of Carrier Strike Group 4 (CSG4) and Vice Admiral Tyson, deputy commander of USFFC (US Fleet Force Commander). This meeting allowed for a first debriefing exercise and to reaffirm the need for interoperability between the two navies.
This is essential for effective integration theaters of operations, particularly in the Arabian Gulf. This exercise has again shown the added value of the employment concept in multi-struggles / multi-sensor of French ANS.
Waiting for the next fiscal year as say the underwater US forces "happy hunting!"
