Chapter 762 Maritime rights and interests

As a secret nuclear submarine, it was built on a special boat platform next to the Karachi Shipyard. A giant tent was set up above the boat platform to prevent the discovery of reconnaissance satellites in space. It was built from the hull, launched into the water and installed, and finally tried sailing were carried out in secret.

In fact, the manufacturing of nuclear submarines in various countries is almost the same process, with tight guards around them to prevent external personnel from peeping.

This nuclear submarine was launched in 1991. As the first nuclear submarine, it has been conducting various systems of sea trials and replaced some new equipment, which has led to a slow progress. Until now, the sea trials have finally ended and successfully entered the naval submarine force sequence.

The submarine base is located on the side of the military port terminal of the Karachi Shipyard. A huge cave reservoir has been specially built here. The waterways are connected to the sea and are reserved for the submarine forces.

Such a submarine base was also built in accordance with the style of the Chinese submarine base. Now, Mhamad has arrived at the submarine base and is enthusiastically visiting his first nuclear submarine.

The cave lanterns are brightly lit, eliminating the sea water in the ballast tank, and the submarine is in a floating state.

The whole body is covered with sound silence tiles, and the seven-blade large side oblique propeller at the tail is shining.

The displacement is more than 6,000 tons. Compared with the previous diesel-electric submarines of one or two thousand tons, this is indeed a big guy.

Submarine soldiers wearing summer sailor suits stood in two rows next to them and were inspected by Mhamad.

"Dear soldiers, all the elites of the Pakistani Navy, behind you is the pride of our Pakistani Navy, nuclear-powered attack submarines! You are underwater soldiers and warriors guarding our Pakistani. I hope you can master the operation of this nuclear submarine as soon as possible, carry forward the spirit of not being afraid of hardship and not being afraid of death, guard the sea frontier of our Pakistan, and be the underwater protector of our aircraft carrier formation!"

The function of a nuclear submarine is to protect the underwater security of its own aircraft carrier formation and prevent the attack of enemy nuclear submarines. As for the nuclear submarines accompanying missiles, it is pure nonsense.

Ballistic missile nuclear submarines also have strong underwater confrontation capabilities and do not need to attack nuclear submarine protection at all. Underwater, they are all single submarines. If two ships sail together, it will be an unsolvable problem just for underwater communication. By connecting with sonar, it is simply exposing their own targets. Apart from sonar, there is no second way.

Pakistan's current attack nuclear submarine is to escort the aircraft carrier. After this nuclear submarine is put into service, Pakistan summarizes various technical experiences. At the same time, a large number of old nuclear submarine experts have joined in to jointly develop newer nuclear submarines and ballistic missile nuclear submarine technologies. We must also make breakthroughs in the future.

The sailors were full of fighting spirit, and they all turned from diesel-electric submarines. They were full of confidence to master this advanced submarine.

"Let's go in and take a look." Mhamad finished speaking, and then said to the naval commander beside him.

The naval commander was stunned. Although this nuclear submarine is absolutely safe, if there is nuclear radiation or something, it will affect the president's health?

He instinctively wanted to stop him, but Mhamad obviously would not consider these things. He had already stepped into the interior of the submarine.

The submarine made of steel is also absolutely rough inside, with dense pipelines. Mhamad inspected the torpedo room forward, and saw the introduction of the fully automated torpedo loading equipment made in France, which was far better than China's own method of loading with hanging hoists and other methods. Then he saw the modern electronic system in the operating room and nodded constantly.

Finally, when he arrived at the power chamber at the back, Mhamad asked in detail about the protection of nuclear radiation and told the soldiers to pay attention to safety, so he crawled out.

In addition to caring about combat effectiveness, the president also cares about the safety of submarine soldiers! This makes every soldier feel warm.

After inspecting the nuclear submarine, Mhamad came to Karachi Shipyard again and observed the aircraft carriers he built.

The final installation stage is in an orderly manner. On the deck, four steam catapults have been installed and can take off the maximum weight of four Tomcats at the same time. The efficiency of this aircraft carrier can be equivalent to the three Endeavours.

Four-sided phased array radars are being hoisted on the bridge. These radars are the radars of Pakistan's self-produced Friendship Shield System, which can give this warship a powerful air search capability. At the same time, the integrated combat system can also assign intercept targets to other warships without the Friendship Shield System.

"The hangar below us was designed in the beginning with our new type of fighter jets in mind, and prepared a constant temperature hangar. If necessary, we can also carry a squadron's latest fighter jet." Standing on the wide flight deck, Mhamad listened to the person in charge of the Karachi Shipyard.

The latest fighter jet that Pakistan is developing is the Stealth Cat. The prototype of this fighter jet, Tomcat fighter, is originally a navy carrier-based fighter jet, so it is inherently capable of boarding the ship.

When Pakistan was developing, it was divided into two versions, the Air Force version, which canceled the hook and reduced the weight of the aircraft. The first batch of aircraft that entered the test flight brigade were this kind of aircraft.

Later, Pakistan will also develop a naval version, with the focus on strengthening the fuselage, landing gear, adding landing hooks, increasing sea corrosion protection, etc. This will increase the self-weight of the naval version, so it can only wait for the new engine to be successfully developed and increase thrust to make up for the performance degradation caused by the increase in the weight of the fuselage.

Mhamad nodded: "This aircraft carrier is a symbol of the rise of our Pakistani power. We must ensure quality and quantity, complete the construction of this aircraft carrier, and strive to enter the naval sequence as soon as possible."

Mhamad is full of confidence in this aircraft carrier, and Pakistan has become the second only to the United States that can manufacture aircraft carriers with displacement of more than 60,000 tons! It has surpassed many old capitalist countries!

It's a pity that Makarov is still staying in Ukraine. It seems that he still has fantasies and hopes that the Varyag will continue to be built successfully. Unfortunately, he has to wait another year or two before he can dig the old guy over.

In the past, Mhamad had confidence in the collapse of the Soviet Union and hoped to bring the Varyag to Pakistan. However, now that Pakistan has been able to build an aircraft carrier, Mhamad is no longer enthusiastic about the Varyag.

The Varyag used a leap deck, and the front of the hull was still anti-ship missiles, resulting in limited carriers. If it was brought to Pakistan, it would have to be disassembled. The large-scale operation would be almost the same as a newly built warship.

Therefore, Mhamad only introduced its subsystem, such as the catapult that the Soviets were testing, was packaged and brought back by Mhamad. For example, several anti-ship missiles with a range of more than 500 kilometers were also secretly brought back, preparing to imitate them.

Similarly, the collapse of the Soviet Union caused a series of warships under construction on the shipyard to fall into a state of stagnation, the Fearless and Modern Class, which were in a semi-finished state and were abandoned on the ship platform.

Those warships retained the characteristics of the Soviet era, had no stealth ability, had complex electronic equipment, and various antennas filled the entire bridge. At this time, Pakistan could already build its own Aegis warships and imitated supersonic anti-ship missiles, so they were not so keen on these warships.

If the price is right and it is almost scrap iron collected, Pakistan can consider purchasing it. If it costs hundreds of millions of dollars, then forget it.

Mhamad knew in his heart that some of the destinations of those warships would probably enter the Chinese Navy, which would not have any threat to Pakistan.

After visiting the aircraft carrier, it was already dark, and Mhamad had a meal with the naval officials at the Navy headquarters in Karachi.

At this time, Pakistan's naval activity areas were not limited to the Arabian Sea generation, but the entire Indian Ocean was the activity areas of the Pakistani Navy, and it was all the way to the Andaman Islands in the east.

"Our navy must be prepared." Mhamad sat at the dining table and said to the naval officials below: "The entire Indian Ocean is related to our maritime rights and interests in Pakistan. Our strength is not strong enough. Continuous development and growth are the unremitting goals of our navy."

"Yes." Navy officials replied in unison.

Before Mhamad became president, the Pakistani Navy was just a near-shore navy, but now it has developed into an ocean navy with aircraft carriers. Every naval official is full of worship for Mhamad.

"By the way, Americans in the west, what's going on recently?" said Mhamad.

"For some time, the US military supply ships in Guadal have been transporting supplies. We suspect that the US military is planning a large-scale military operation," said Navy Chief of Staff Zahar.

Americans are planning a large-scale military operation? Mhamad suddenly felt his eyelids start to thrust. Not good, Americans are afraid they need new actions!

"Order our army in Guadal Harbor to be vigilant and ready to deal with unexpected problems at any time!" Mhamad said: "Touch Xiao immediately through the secret line!"

Although Guadal Port was loaned to the Americans, Pakistan still had air defense forces left there to help the Americans to defend air defense in key areas and intercept ballistic missiles fired by Iran at any time.

Mhamad keenly felt that Bush must have made a big move! Taking advantage of the collapse of the Soviet Union, he must completely solve the Iranian issue! He must not let the Americans succeed easily! (To be continued.)
