This situation persisted until the afternoon of the 5th.
When the Communication Advisor rushed in with the message, Stark was startled. After reading it, his emotions were a turmoil.
From Diego Military Port, a submarine conducting a search mission south of the Howay Islands discovered a Liangxia Fleet heading north.
According to the submarine's report, the speed of this Special Mixed Fleet is around 16 knots, with dozens of large and small warships.
Crucially, it might be the Forty-first Special Mixed Fleet.
The report used the word "might," indicating that the submarine did not visually observe the enemy ships but made a judgment based on intercepted noise signals.
If the enemy's warships were seen, the submarine captain would provide a definite statement.
The problem lies here.
The fleet's speed isn't high, and the distance between the submarine and the fleet must be quite far, making it difficult to obtain a clear noise signal.
