As the Battleship Ciela Bonaparte reached the reported coordinates, the crew immediately initiated standard submarine search procedures. Captain Emeriau, stationed on the bridge, directed his officers with precision.
"Activate the sonar sweep," he commanded. The sonar team, working with the ship's advanced equipment, began a systematic search of the surrounding waters. The sonar's pings, emitted at regular intervals, penetrated the depths, scanning for any sign of the elusive submarine.
On the deck, the crew readied the anti-submarine weaponry. The ship was equipped with depth charges, designed to target submarines. These charges could be deployed rapidly upon detecting a submarine, creating powerful underwater explosions intended to damage or destroy the hidden enemy.
Leclerc, overseeing the deck operations, reported to Emeriau. "Depth charges are primed and ready, Captain. Aerial reconnaissance is ongoing."
