Radio ham operators were very busy on the military HF Monday night June 25, 2007 into Tuesday morning listening in on the huge volume of frantic radio traffic between military units from all branches engaged in tracking down and killing a submarine off the east coast.
Bombers were flying racetrack patterns; Special Forces were ready; a nuclear weapon was captured and disposed of.
These were the details to the cryptic message of June 25, 2007 from The Hawk regarding an emergency interdiction mission.
Radio traffic was so heavy that units stopped using encrypted radio and even began using VHF. The traffic reached hundreds of messages per hour and Iran is possibly involved in the action.
A similar type of operation was also described by Debka in DEBKA-Net-Weekly Intelligence Report, 18 June, 2002:
"Some sources report firefights between hunters and terrorists trapped in sea containers, in which between 15 and 25 terrorists may have died. In Miami and Savanna, containers with secret human burdens were unloaded from incoming vessels. Anti-terror squads shifted the boxes to a quiet corner of the harbor, drilled holes in their sides and filled them with gas and smoke bombs. The stowaways suffocated to death.
For all their efforts, the US hunters have not apprehended a single live al Qaeda terrorist landing by sea."
