"Greko-Turkish war" or just "Sardine in the can"


JULY 3rd 2015

Morning 10:00 am.
The Greek Prime minister Alexis Tsipras is standing over his desk at the “Maximou” mansion (Ministerial Building in the center of Athens-Greece, near the Parliament) reading the latest reports about the Turkish military provocations over the Aegean Sea. Just across the room his military advisor George Alkistos along with the minister of defence Panos Kamenos and some military officers are waiting quietly.
PM: So what do you make of it Alkistos?
Alkistos: Well sir, it is obvious that the Turks are willing to go forward this time with the Oil research in and around our territorial waters in Lemnos (Lemnos is a Greek island in northern Aegean).
PM: Do we have any idea has of how far are they willing to go?
Kamenos: Our latest communication interceptions as well as some “other” sources in Turkey indicate that they will try to advance their aggression to levels similar or even greater than the “Imia” crisis in 1996.
PM: But what can they possibly hope to achieve at this point in time?
Alkistos: A crisis with Greece at this point in time serves more to them than any prospect of peaceful co-existence or European Union membership. Their internal social and economical troubles as well as the tension in the Iraqi border with the Kurds has put them on a panic road I’m afraid.
Air Force officer: Sir, may I interrupt you for a second?
PM: Yes, tell me.
Air Force officer: We really need you to sign and approve the security measures and readiness initiation of our military. We need to implement the rules of action for this one, as they were defined in last months session of the National Security Council, and we need to do it now!
PM: Yes, you are right. Give me the papers, I will sign them now.

11:30 am
General Abdul Oktsalian of the Turkish General Staff is walking down the narrow concrete corridor of Defence Ministry’s Nuclear Bomb Shelter. He has just finished briefing several high-ranking officers about operation “Sardine”. His thoughts are concentrated to the overall logistics and unknown parameters of the plan, his plan.
If successful Turkey would gain one more small piece of the Aegean Sea control and may be force Athens to a total resolution about the Aegean disputes of the last 40 years. But most of all it will quite down the internal problems of the last months which threaten the very existence of the Turkish state. It all depends on the Greek politicians chickening out again. They did in the past they will now. And besides their military officers are completely controllable by politicians so their initiative will be limited.

12:00 Northern Aegean
The Turkish research vessel “Inonou” finally arrived at its destination. The waters were international but the buffer was disputed between Greece and Turkey for over 40 years about oil drilling rights. The crew immediately starts preparations for a series of seismic tests. As they do so a Greek Patrol Boat appears west of their position at 6nm.
The captain contacts the Turkish navy Headquarters in a short cut-off way of message “The Sardine is in the can”.

12:30 Northern Aegean
The captain of the Greek PB “Armatolos” has his ship on alert for the past several hours, ever since he received orders to monitor the movements of “Inonou”. His commands were very specific: Monitor and report, in no way intervene unless instructed to my headquarters. Right now he starts to wonder how will this cat and mouse game end.

16:00 Aksaz naval station – Turkey
Inside the communications room of the naval base the Turkish officer in charge is waiting in anxiety.
Outside almost thirty ships from frigates to patrol craft have been preparing for departure.
Suddently the phone rings. He picks it up. A voice on the other end say’s “The Sardine is in the can, go shopping”.
He hangs up and runs to the intercom of the base. He yells, “Go shopping. I repeat, Go shopping. This is not a drill. Go shopping”.
The naval station is now on a frenzy of all kinds of activity. All ships are beginning to depart from their parking spaces and one after the other start to exit the port.

16:45 Rhodes Island Greek Naval Observation Post
-Sir!
-What is it sailor?
-I think you should see something on radar, sir!
-Ok, I am coming in a minute sailor.
-I think you should come now sir!
The commanding officer goes over the radar screen. What he sees makes him stair and wonder for a while.
-How many sailor?
-At least twenty sir, but there might be more coming out later, and I can’t tell anything about possible submarines exiting as well…
-Do they have an exercise or something we don’t now about?
-No sir, I checked before calling you.
-****! Call headquarters at Salamis now!!! Also alert the Gunship near Kasos Island to change course and try to monitor their movements and someone please find where the hell is our ESM controller. I want all we can get by our equipment transmitted to fleet HQ asap.
Suddenly everything goes black.
-What happened?
-Sir we lost power all over the post, we have no power to run equipment and radar or communicate outside the Island. I think we have been sabotaged!
The commanding officer runs outside to a near tavern by the beach. He rushes inside and asks the tavern owner if they have power, he says to him no. Then he checks his mobile. “Thank god for mobile telephony it has signal and so he immediately starts dialling the number of the Fleet HQ.

17:00 Eskisehir 1st Air Command HQ
The base is already sealed off. The personnel are already on alert. Four F16’s fully armed are on 2 minute alert on the edge of the runway.
The rest of the planes are getting ready…
17:20 Salamis Naval Station (Greek Navy Fleet HQ)
An adjutant is running like hell down the corridors of the Fleet HQ building.
He storms inside the office of the Fleet Commander without even knocking the door.
Fleet Commander Nik Dim astonished by this behaviour is ready to explode.
- Sorry sir, but it is dead urgent!!!
- What is it adjutant?
- Sir, we just received a call from the commanding officer of our Naval post in Rhodes, with some very disturbing information about movements of the Turkish fleet over the southeastern Aegean!
- A call? What do you mean a call?
- A phone call sir, he called us from his mobile.
- What? Why the hell didn’t he use the military communication channels of the post?
- It appears that the power generation in Rhodes is down due to unknown reasons, possible sabotage sir!
- Sabotage, for god boy be more specific, what did he say?
- Almost the entire Turkish fleet stationed in Aksaz is out of port deploying in the Aegean or is getting underway. They managed to detect around twenty units of all types just before their equipment went down. But they cannot estimate current positions and destination.
The admiral stood for a second without saying anything, his mind went to the meeting he had a few weeks ago at the General Staff HQ in Athens. Back then they were suspecting something will happen just by looking at the reports of the Turkish provocations, but now it was actually happening, but what exactly?
- Sound General quarters! Get my staff in the OC on the double, I want all ships in port to get underway and ready to receive orders. All leaves are recalled. We are going into combat readiness immediately.

17:40 OC Greek Fleet HQ Salamis.
Admiral: Good Evening mr Kamenos (Defence minister), I guess the rest of the military leadership is with you at the General HQ Operations Center?
Def.Min: Yes Admiral Nik Dim, just brief us on the current situation.
Admiral: I have ordered one of our Gunships near Rhodes to proceed asap to the estimated position of the Turkish fleet and give us some more information about its order of battle. Also a Super Puma of the Air force is underway right now to try and give us a closer live time look of things. We have a couple of Frigates south of Siros and five other patrol units around the Dodecanese, which are all merging to the area.
I will have five more frigates and several guided missile fast attack boats underway in about one hour and it will take them at least six hours to deploy in operationally acceptable distance, but by that time the Turks will have the entire Dodecanese surrounded.
Def.Min: What are your estimates Admiral, how should we proceed?
Admiral: First things first sir. We establish a clear view of the tactical moves they make, and then we position to start taking the targeting advantage just in case. As you understand I only refer to the navy sir. The other branches should co-ordinate as we have planned since it appears to be a mainly naval crisis developing.
Def.Min: Let me pass you over to the Chief of Tactical Air Command at Larissa AFB to brief you Admiral.
Air Force Chief: We have initiated alert readiness in all our bases radars and air defence installations. We are getting into full combat readiness within the next 20-30 minutes. Our ESM data and communication intercepts suggests a huge mobilization of the Turkish Air Force, but nothing is flying, at least up to the range of our radars, I mean not even the regular daily violations of FIR and airspace! At this time my conclusions are that an aerial surprise attack is out of the question, it will just fail!
However we remain vigilant! I already gave order to launch our AWACS in order to get a better picture of the sky and sea.
Def.Min: Thank you very much gentlemen, I now want to hear your report General Pankal.
Gen.Pankal (Army Commander): Well sir our units in the islands are undermanned and over stretched due to the continuous limitations of army service, but they have been alerted and started evacuating their camps a few minutes ago in order to deploy to their combat positions, but it will take at least three hours till they are 100% ready.
In Evros the same but at least there the percentages are close to 100% and the ground is in our favour.
Def.Min: What is happening in Turkey General?
General: Their ground units appear to have a defensive posture, but as you know this can be deceiving. We have some reports of Artillery and MLRS batteries positioning, and several battalions of Special Forces moving around the Asia Minor coastline, but that is all. All major units are in their camps. Let me add though that the same was happening in the “Imia” back in 1996.
-Thank you General and the rest of you gentlemen, we will be in contact later on, I now have to brief the Prime Minister, don’t forget we have that other thing in Lemnos going on as well and I hope that they are not connected somehow.

18:00 Turkish Military HQ Ankara
In a dark projection room a senior military officer briefs the Turkish military leadership using slides, photos and satellite feeds from Israel as well as UAV’s video.
- The “Sardine” is under way for more than six hours now and everything is going as planned. We are combat ready in every aspect and we can counter any Greek response to the unfolding of our objectives and actions. As far as we know they have acted just like we expected, and we can now set in motion the diplomatic part of our plans. By the time they discover the real destination of our fleet it will be too late. We are now in the position to begin transferring aircraft from the Far East to our west bases in order to increase the numbers of aircraft in our favour.

20:00 South-eastern Aegean sea
Inside the Greek Gunship everything is silent, no lights, no sounds!
-Captain!
-Yes sailor!
-Still nothing sir, their ships are nowhere around Rhodes or Kos.
-ESM controller sir, I pick up some signals very faint North of our position around 12nm in distance, they look like Link-16 incoming, but encrypted.
-This can only suggest a frigate size vessel, but what is it doing so north. Sending a fleet of 30 ships deep inside Central Aegean is practically suicide!
-What is it they want there sir?
-Tactically and strategically nothing… Unless they want to go even north … to …
Oh ****! Get me Fleet HQ now!!!

21:00 Maximou
Kamenos: It is now confirmed sir the Turkish fleet is heading towards the wider area around Lemnos. We also have reports of another fleet exiting the straits as well.
As of now we have over twenty ships underway, but they are all under the central Aegean moving north and will take some hours to catch up with the Turks in the open Northern Aegean. However now we can monitor their moves by AWACS and naval helicopters, as well as our naval posts in Skiros, and Chios.
PrimeMinister: Do we have any idea about what they intend to do?
Kamenos: No sir, but they might have something to do with their research vessel out of Lemnos the “Inonou”.
PM: What is the status over there anyway?
Kamenos: Well sir the reports from our PB “Armatolos” indicate it just waits conducting seismic tests as it is supposed to.
PM: Well emphasize to the captain of the PB that I don’t want another “Imia” like fiasco. I just had a call from Pr. Bush asking me what is going on with our mobilization, as if he doesn’t now anything about the opposite side mobilization. He really got to me about that other thing, you know … the … with the other guy…
I really thing that this should be handled by the military this time. Contact the Chief of staff and tell him that in all matters of military for the duration of this crisis he can act according to the national rules of engagement. New rule people, politics for the politicians, diplomacy for the diplomats and military for the Generals!
Kamenos: But sir…
PM: Just do it.
21:30 Turkish Defence Ministry
General Abdul Oktsalian is sitting in his office going over the latest reports from the field as well as the reports for the unfolding of his plan and things to come.
In general his calculations were correct and the Greek side has acted as he predicted.
The political intervention phase of the plan though (the first phase actually, and one of the most importance) had failed a few months ago. The failed assassination attempt of the Greek Prime Minister in February, meant that the political situation in Greece would be stable for the duration of this crisis. It doesn’t matter anyway, he thought. Since they act according to their usual patterns and since they didn’t found who was behind the car bomb, that’s ok. The plan was simple in principle.
First we get the Greeks all up and down with multiple violations of their airspace all over the Aegean (that seemed to work quite well in the past) and while we are at it we map their defences and responses and do a bit of a recce to several potential targets. Secondly with the oil research vessels in the Aegean, we create the scene for our diplomatic and political game, in order to pre-empt any international reaction.
The next steps would then be initiated and will be the ones defining the outcome of this crisis.
His thoughts were interrupted by the sound of the phone ringing.
-Yes!
-General sir, the Prime Minister Heartdogin is on the “Outcom” secure line, sir.
-Ok, I will pick it up.
General: PM Heartdogin, to what do I owe this late call?
PM: I just wanted to ask how everything is going General!
General: Everything is going according to plan PM. Is there a reason you ask?
PM: I just had a call from the Greek PM Tsipras. He asked me what do we think we are doing in the Aegean. I told him I don’t know what is he talking about, that we are just conducting oil research in areas we both agreed to, and he was furious, unlike anything we had in mind. I really worry!
General: Just keep your end of the bargain PM and let us worry about the rest.
PM hanged up the phone. General Abdul was sceptic, always the politicians mess up in Turkey and the military has to clean up for them. Besides it is the Military that runs the foreign policy and keeps the country in one piece after all.
It was now 22:05 and he thought it was time to get a nap for a couple of hours before the things start to heat up.

23:00 Somewhere South-east of Lemnos territorial waters
Inside the PB-Armatolos tensions are running high. They have been monitoring the deployment of Turkish naval forces coming out of the straits, and still had to keep an eye for the “Inonou”. Being the only Greek ship in the area was a bitch.
-Captain!
-Go ahead sailor.
-Our sensors picked up activity near the Turkish research vessel, sir.
-What sort of activity?
-We have now confirmed the positioning of four frigates and two corvettes along with several smaller units in screening formation around the “Inonou”.
It appears that the “Inonou” is also getting ready to depart from its current position.
-Report to HQ at once!

23:30 Fleet HQ Salamis Naval Station
Admiral Dim is inside his OC receiving reports about the Aegean situation.
-Do we have the list of Turkish units in the Aegean yet?
-Yes, sir.
-So give it to me.
-Our “Friends” and “Allies” sir, have developed the following order of battle:
2 MEKO200TN and 2 O.H.PERRY frigates escorted by 2 corvettes and four missile boats. No word on Submarines though.
4 MEKO200TN and 4 O.H.PERRY frigates escorted by 3 corvettes and 6 missile boats, are currently taking battle positions trying to cut our fleet from entering the North Aegean. Also no word on Submarines locations.
They have also place several other lighter units in hiding locations all over their coastlines.
-What about our positioning?
-We currently have only one PB the “Armatolos” in the Lemnos area. We do have two missile boats at Sporades islands just west from there, but they are in hiding status and you said not to compromise that and leave them as a reserve.
Our fleet is deploying along the line separating the Central Aegean sea trying to break the Turkish order of battle. In terms of numbers we have 2 MEKO200HN and 6 STANDARD frigates, escorted by 6 missile boats and two Gunships. We also have 1 MEKO200HN and 2 STANDARD frigates, escorted by 4 missile boats and 2 Gunships moving to take position in the Southern Aegean just in case.
Four of our Type-209 Submarines are heading north, but way back the rest of the fleet!
-Any feed at all about their submarines?
-Actually we do have a report from GNSA (Greek NSA) operators in Aksaz, which indicates six out of eight Type-209 SS’s are in docks. The other two though, we don’t know.
-Judging by the speed of the Turkish deployment in the Aegean it seems whatever their objectives are they plan to achieve or initiate them within the next 24 hour’s, so those SS’s have to either be way behind the rest of their fleet, or positioned in advanced in the last few day’s, and since they can’t maintain underwater operations for more than 20 hour’s I believe the next few hours will be the hot ones!
-What are your orders Admiral?
-Inform National HQ and the Prime Minister, that we should be on high alert for extreme level confrontation with Turkish military within the next 24 hours. Also alert our fleet for the recent development and dispatch the nearest frigate to assist our Gunship between Kos and Rhodes in ASW operations. I want those sub’s found!
First thing in the morning I want the P3B’s on the air again.
-Anything else sir?
-That’s all for now, keep up the good work!
24:00 Over North Aegean Sea.
The ERJ145-Erieye has been patrolling for the last six hours, trying to detect the Turkish Air Force movements. So far only a couple of C-130’s have landed at Bandirma AFB coming from the east.
-Major Georgiou, you should see this sir!
-Is it what I think it is?
-Yes sir, at least 20 maybe 30 low flying aircraft, probably F16’s coming in from the eastern part of Turkey. We haven’t picked up any KC135’s orbiting over western Turkey, so they must be coming from the east.
-Link this to the HQ back in Larissa, also to the other units through Link-11 & 16.

00:10 May 4th 2006 – Greek Defence Ministry Situation room
Greek Prime minister Kamanlis along his military advisor Alkistos, are entering the situation room serving as an OC for the entire Greek Military. From here he can issue orders to all units of Greece all around the globe and also receive up to date and live information of what is going on. As he enters he is welcomed by the minister of defence and the chiefs of the armed forces. A short briefing takes place and several guidelines are passed over the table to the Chain of Command.

00:30 Inside the OC at the Naval HQ – Salamis NS
Admiral Dim has just received the revised National Rules of Engagement issued by the General HQ.
-Listen up people, this is what I want you to do!
Start transmitting the following to all our ships out there.
-Sir, if I may take some of your time?
-What is it Thanos, you know better than to sir me, you’re my second in command go ahead speak your mind!
-Ok then Nik, what about “Papanikolis” SS?
-What about it?
-You know exactly what I mean. You send her out for tests a week ahead of schedule, just after you alone brief it’s Captain and crew, one by one, and then taking them away till departure. Then she sails without anyone knowing its destination and mission and you don’t even bother just to inform me, your second in command?
-So?
-What is going own Nik. Tell me.
-You don’t need to know at this point Thanos, you just don’t need to know.
-Well who does? Does anyone, or not?
-Me, the PM and the Defence minister are all we need to know about it for the moment!
-So you’re not going to tell me? Where is that sub Nik? Given the situation I need to know!
-I am sorry I can help you on this one, really sorry!

00:35 Greek Defence Ministry Situation room
-PM can I have a moment?
-Yes Alkistos.
-Alone sir?
-Ok, walk with me.
-Are we sure about this? I mean this guy, how are we sure he is real?
-The car bomb was real Alkistos, and I would be dead if it wasn’t for him. Besides there are other things as well.
-What things?
-I spoke with him a few hours ago, and that is why I issued the new revised national rules of engagement! We will know in the next hour or so if he is real, this one will really be his ultimate proof that he is for real!
-I hope so sir, for all of us, I hope so!
-What’s that on the TV monitor over there, someone open up the volume!!!

“This just-in to our CNN headquarters in Atlanta. It appears that there is some kind of military tension building up in the Aegean Sea, and it has started escalating a few hours ago. We now go live to our reporter Attalah Ibrahim from CNN-Turk in Istanbul”
“Good morning Monika, from the moody and rainy Istanbul. As our sources in Ankara inform us Greece has initiated an enormous military mobilization the last hours and it all seems to indicate that it is related to the recent research trip of a Turkish vessel in the Aegean. As sources on the Turkish Defence ministry are telling us, Greeks have started mobilizing in a way that can only be described as a pre-text to military action. Naturally the Turkish military is put on alert as they try to finger out what the intentions of the Greeks are. As soon as we have any more news will give them to you Monika. Attalah Ibrahim for CNN-Turk Istanbul”.

PM: This totally changes the whole game people, just follow orders and stick to what we said before. I better get ready to receive some hone-calls that will start coming from the EU states and the US. Oh boy, and that Papadadeou (Greek opposition leader) will start his rhetoric’s again. Thanks god it’s only 00:40, at least I have until they wake up to prepare for them.
Alkistos: Is that what you were expecting?
PM: No not that!

00:45 Turkish Armed Forces HQ Operations Center
-General Abdul Oktsalian, I wasn’t expecting you so soon, did you have some rest?
-Yes major Battan, I did! But I had to come since we have a piece of the puzzle missing?
-You mean the Greek “Papanikolis” SS.
-That one is a big piece missing right now. It is the best Submarine the Greeks have, actually the best conventional sub in the world for that matter and because it can stay underwater more than 14 day’s and we don't know it's whereabouts for a week it is giving me a big headaque!

00:50 Southern Aegean somewhere Between Amorgos and Dodecanese Islands.
“Mpoumpoulina” a STANDARD class Greek frigate is conducting ASW sweeps for the last hour or so.
-Con sonar, I have a contact, bearing 035, shallow moving slow, looks like a Type209
trying to ventilate sir, distance 7nm!
-Launch ASW Hilo, I repeat launch hilo!
Order “Maxitis” Gunship to intercept to the location as they are close enough.

01:00 AB212ASW Helicopter flying over last known submarine position
-We’ve got them sir, they are inside Amorgos territorial waters and submerged!
-Ask the Frigate what to do.
-Done sir.
-They want us to keep monitoring it till the “Maxitis” arrives.

01:15 “Maxitis” Gunship
Captain: Ok this is how we proceed. We don’t want to attack them but we also don’t want them to shadow our fleet from behind, especially within our territory. Remember the chain of command does not wish any direct attack unless they initiate it first. Reports indicate that they were trying to ventilate which means they were under for a long time and now are low on battery. So we will try to force them to the surface and then escort them in international waters were they must remain on surface as the International Law depict.
Weapons Officer: What do you suggest Captain?
-First we make a fast and noisy pass over them. Then we fire two depth charges 50m to the front and left of them, we then turn around pass over them again and fire two more 50m to the rear and right of them. Co-ordination with the AB212ASW is crucial.
We just want them to get the message and surface their sub. However have the Hilo informed to be on alert of firing its Mk46 if the sub becomes hostile.
Move it people !!!
01:20 1st Tactical Air Command HQ Eskisehir AFB
The Commanding officer (CO) of the 1st TAC has been briefing the Chiefs of staff (COS) for the last ten minutes about the deployment of additional F16’s from eastern bases to west.
CO: So with the end of the transitions we now have almost 90% of our F16’s concentrated in the western AFB’s. We are currently preparing the new arrivals for defensive missions, since all other aircraft are already equipped and stand-by to perform attack missions.
COS: How long to you expect it will take for all aircraft to be in 100% readiness?
CO: Till 2:00 we will be 100% ready.
COS: What about the HARPY’s what is their status?
CO: They are in position sir, once launched the Greeks will have a hand full.

01:30 Turkish Armed Forces HQ Operations Center
In a dark room lighted only by a huge projection screen, General Abdul Oktsalian underlines the specifics of his plan for the future.
-We are now in the position to “Open the Sardine can” whenever the chance that we wait emerges. However I should point out that we will have to proceed even if the Greeks don’t take the bite we give them. In detail it will go like this:
In a matter of minutes our research vessel will start trying to enter the Lemnos territorial waters in order to perform geological survey for oil. At least that is the official line. As it does so it will be screened by our naval units in order to avoid the interception of any Greek unit in the area. The purpose of the entire action is to provoke the Greeks into assaulting our vessel. The minute they do, the Captain of the “Inonou” will set his ship on fire and after the crew abandons it we will sink it and claim the Greek action is responsible. This will be the pre-text under which we will then launch without warning a limited. I repeat limited, air campaign over the North Aegean with objective the destruction of all the primary Radar systems of Greece in the area and especially those controlling the PATRIOT missile launchers. This will be done by massive use of HARPY AR-UAV’s and the cover of numerous F16’s supporting the fleet, after the radars are out. An MLRS ATACMS missile will take out the bunkers of the land based Exocet’s in Lemnos. In order to avoid heavy resistance from the Greek F16’s and Mirage-2000, we will also demonstrate extreme violations of their airspace to the south in order to lure most of their fighters away from the area of interest. This will also act as a lure for them regarding our overall intensions
Another significant mission will be the attack against the Soudha AFB on Krete, which houses their best fighters the F16+. As planned a week ago a squadron of 10 F4P2000’s is transiting as we speak south of Krete and already refuelled in international airspace outside of Greek radar range. They are thought to transit to Libya for an international air-show, but in fact they are armed with 2 heavy standoff missiles each. With those missiles they will attack Soudha.
At the same time our naval units will attack all major Greek naval units with SSM’s, and by the element of surprise will devastate them within minutes. Distances between ships correspond to them not being able to react sufficiently.
The overall time frame for this action is an hour and our estimates indicate loses up to 20% for our naval forces and up to 80% for the Greek navy. Loses for the Air force are not so predictable but by the surprise massive use of AMRAAM’s against anything flying west of our aircraft. By the lack of information the Greek pilots will have about civilian flights in the area. And the difference in numbers we believe a 70-80% loses for them and a 10-15% for us. We may take a civilian airliner or two down though, but that is ok since, in the havoc that will be created, none will be able to put the finger directly on us. The first aircraft as well as the UAV’s will start launching at 02:00, so please stay alert.
Then we sit back and wait the international community to intervene and push the whole Aegean dispute to the negotiating table. With us having the overall military advantage. And the Greeks trying to save whatever they can.
That’s all. I expect from all of you the best!

01:30 PB-“Armatolos”
The Captain reads again the message sent a while ago from HQ.
Just five minutes ago he spoke with his commanding officer back in Salamis.
Admiral Nik Dim was very specific. Under no circumstances we are to allow the research vessel to enter our territorial waters. Also under no circumstances we are to attack by use of our weapons the “Inonou” or any other Turkish unit, unless we are attacked first.
The situation was very bad from his point of view. Alone out-numbered and out-gunned, practically surrounded by enemies he had to be another “Leonidas” for Greece, and limiting his engagement rules wasn’t helping.
-Captain the Turks are on the move heading 340 towards Lemnos. The naval units have practically shielded the “Inonou”.
The Captain stood for a second, different thoughts were flying in his mind, country, nation, family, friends, all sort of rumble. He took a deep breath and said.
-Helm, set course to ram the steer of the “Inonou”. We will stop them the hard way. Get ready for some high speed manoeuvring because I don’t think they will let us pass through them that easily.

01:30 Gunship "Maxitis"
The Greek Gunship starts making his first high speed pass over the Turkish sub.
Weapons control officer has his finger on the release button for the depth charges.

01:35
The scene is set of an all out war between Greece and Turkey!
01:50 Greek Gunship “Maxitis”
After carefully conducting both passes and successfully delivering the depth charges the Gunship slows down and comes around for another pass over the submerged and battered Turkish Submarine.
-Captain, come and have a look, something is happening!
-Radio message sir, the Hilo reports the Sub is getting ready to surface.
-Confirm sailor I see her coming out now.
The Turkish submarine surfaces and raises its antennas mast.
The Turkish captain Giuzul Giortu knows exactly what to do. He is after all one of the most experienced captains of the Turkish navy. After signaling back to his HQ, he then signals the Greek Gunship.
-Radio message from the sub Captain, it’s the Turkish Captain and wants to talk to you sir.
-This is the Captain of the Hellenic Navy Gunship “Maxitis” George Stamos, with who do I have the owner of speaking?
-Captain Giuzul Giortu, Turkish navy. Captain Stamos you play a very dangerous game out here don’t you realize that?
-Well, I wasn’t the one starting it!
-Fair enough, let’s not waste any more time arguing about who is right and who is wrong. We both know I was inside your waters submerged and in violation of international sailing regulations, so let us just follow procedure, if that is ok with you.
-No problem what so ever, but you will remain on surface and head towards your naval station in Aksaz, or the minute I sence you are about to submerge I will fire upon your vessel. Is that understood?
-Yes Captain, if I had different intentions or for that matter different orders I wouldn’t even surface on the first place. I hope we meet again under more friendly circumstances Captain Stamos. Giuzul, out!
The Turkish submarine started to turn and finally headed towards Aksaz.
