Chapter 809 Attacking the Nuclear Submarine

Like other US weapons development ideas, the US is not developing complex models to deal with threats. The torpedo equipped by the US Navy is mainly one. This mk48 torpedo has greatly improved the performance of the torpedo by continuously improving the software.

This torpedo is 585 meters long, with a diameter of 533 mm and a speed of 55 knots. Like other torpedoes, it uses a thermoelectric swash plate, uses Otto 2 fuel, and has a system power of 500 horsepower, with high energy density, low noise, and no tail. The torpedo warhead is a blasting warhead with a charge of 100-150 kilograms. A single lightning hit can sink a large submarine or medium-sized surface ship.

As the torpedo sails forward, the lines dragged at the tail are constantly being released. This is a wire-guided torpedo and is also the most common way torpedoes. The wires can transmit the target data obtained by the submarines in the rear, making the attack more sharp!

At this time, the deadly torpedo was sailing towards the opposite target quickly, and the propeller at the tail turned, stirring up countless cavitations.

Thors gritted his teeth and listened to the sonar's report. One kilometer, eight hundred meters, five hundred meters, and three hundred meters, the torpedo was getting closer and closer to him!

"Shut off the engine, lift the rudder, continue diving, and all the personnel are falling down the front cabin to gather! Release the air curtain interference!" Thors shouted.

At this time, he was already sailing at a designed dive depth of 200 meters, and in order to get rid of the other party, Thors had to continue diving!

With his order, the propeller at the tail stopped rotating, and the tail rudder moved to lever the submarine's bow to sink. At the same time, more submarine crews ran forward, causing the bow to go down more quickly, and the huge submarine began to continue diving.

At the same time, dense bubbles were sprayed out from countless thin tubes on one side of the submarine. These bubbles formed a tight air curtain on the side of the hull. This air curtain would block the transmission of sound and confuse the other party's sonar, just like the meaning of a fighter launching a hot flame bomb.

The engine shutdown and the tail propeller stops, the biggest noise source is also lost at the same time.

The control system of the digital circuit was briefly confused, and the loss of the target made the torpedo confused. According to the pre-set procedure, it was only three hundred meters away from the target. At such a short distance, the maneuverability of the target underwater was quite limited, so it chose to continue sailing in a straight line!

After passing through the air curtain wall, the noise behind completely disappeared. After continuing to sail for fifty meters, the torpedo chose to explode.

The attack failed!

"What's going on?" Captain Locke asked. He was very confident in the mk48 torpedo. But the attack failed.

"The target radiates the air curtain wall, blocking the signal. When the signal disappears, our sonar loses the target." The sonar reported.

How is that possible? It’s only a few hundred meters away. In this case, the sonar effect is quite good, and it will actually lose the sound signal? Then there is only one possibility. The other party turned off the engine without any sound!

Do you think this would make me helpless? Captain Locke couldn't help but sneer: "We are conducting a dragnet search in this sea area, releasing signal floats, and requesting support."

If the engine is turned off, it can temporarily disappear in the sonar, but the other party loses its maneuverability at the same time. His Los Angeles-class submarine can search for the other party.

Moreover, the other party is just a submarine, but the other party has surface ships and anti-submarine aircraft, so the other party will definitely not be able to escape! If the other party does not move, the final result will be to exhaust all the electricity and will not be able to move at that time.

The other party was a diesel-electric submarine, which Captain Locke could completely confirm.

Although they cannot communicate with each other for the time being, submarines have another way of communication. They use a one-time communication float to release it, and the float will float up to the water surface and send messages.

He has dived to 230 meters underwater. Every ten meters down, an atmospheric pressure will be added. At this time, the design depth of the submarine has exceeded, and Thors is still persisting.

During World War II, the submarines designed diving depth was only more than 100 meters. Sometimes, in order to avoid attacks, they would even hide at a depth of 300 meters underwater, which far exceeded the design depth of the submarine, and it was still fine.

Now, under the extreme circumstances, even if you dive to a depth of 300 meters, there is no problem. All cabins have reported the situation and the submarine is in good condition.

The only problem is that the power consumption was five percent after the maneuver. At this time, as long as you make any sound, you will be discovered by the other party and attacked. Moreover, the other party will definitely call a large number of surface ships and planes to come, and it will be even more difficult for one side to escape.

What to do? Thors was thinking that as a captain, he must be responsible for the lives of more than 60 people in the boat, and also fight for the honor of the Pakistani Navy!

"The American submarines are searching for us, but they are only at a depth of 200 meters and will not find us yet." The sonar soldier continued to report.

The difference in depth determines that Americans are doing useless work for the time being, but as long as Americans find that their direction is wrong, they will definitely change the depth. At that time, they may meet in a narrow road.

If you want to retreat, you must first get rid of the American submarine! The only way is to injure or even destroy the other party! Thors suddenly had an idea in his heart.

"Start the motor, full power, right full rudder, sailing eastward!" Thors said: "Restore diving depth of 200 meters!"

With full power, this is simply a blow from the other party! The deputy captain twitched his face muscles on the side, but still didn't say anything.

At this time, the American submarine had just searched far away. The other party searched back and forth with ten nautical miles. It was just the farthest. As soon as the engine was started, the other party would chase after him!

As the motor starts, the propeller begins to rotate rapidly, and the high-speed rotating propeller makes a rustling sound of water, and passes through the sea water and instantly spreads far away.

"Discover the target, ten nautical miles behind!" The sonar soldier reported excitedly on the Los Angeles-class submarine.

"Zuo Manru, chase after him!" Locke shouted excitedly.

Sure enough, the other party still couldn't hold back and wanted to leave at high speed? Don't joke! The maximum speed of a diesel-electric submarine is only twenty knots underwater, and attacking a nuclear submarine can easily reach thirty knots. It would be a huge mistake for the other party to escape at this time!

The nuclear submarine that turned its head started chasing towards the target direction. In order to catch up, the power of the Los Angeles-class submarine was driven to the maximum, and the propeller turned rapidly, pushing the submarine, and soon reached a high speed of 30 knots.

Chase! As long as you can chase the distance of five nautical miles, you can fire the mk48 torpedo again! Locke has ordered the officers and soldiers in the torpedo compartment in front to prepare four torpedoes, and this time it will be fired out in five seconds. Even if the opponent uses the air curtain wall again, at most one or two torpedoes will be avoided, and all four will be avoided. That is impossible!

The distance of ten nautical miles is only twenty minutes for a submarine sailing at high speed. Locke is already imagining the scene of a torpedo hitting the opponent's submarine.

In the past twenty years, the captains of American submarines have no practical experience. Even during the Cold War, the two sides confronted underwater, and never fired torpedoes. After the end of the Cold War, the United States' ocean sovereignty was sacred and inviolable. Even the Russian Navy had to retreat. Where could the United States find a decent opponent! This time, Locke is likely to be the captain who used to hit an enemy submarine for the first time in 20 years!

Thinking of this, he became even more excited.

Chase, continue to chase!

However, half an hour later, he found that something was wrong.

Ten minutes ago, the sonar soldier reported that the other party was moving away quickly. Locke should be alert at that time, but he was very excited at that time. Now, after continuing to chase for ten minutes, the sonar soldier reported that he lost his target, he suddenly woke up.

Damn it, this is a trap!

As the captain of a nuclear submarine, his mind will be confused. The other party is using a diesel-electric submarine! It is fatal to sail underwater at high speed, and it will consume all the electricity in one hour! If the other party had been sailing rapidly for half an hour just now, plus the power consumed before, the other party should have run out of power!

As long as a mature captain, he will never make such a mistake. Then, there is only one possibility, the other party’s departure is an illusion!

Underwater, everything depends on sound to explore the enemy, and sound can also be faked.

For example, just now, Thors accelerated his submarine to the maximum, the propeller rotated at the highest speed, and the hull sailed eastward, giving the other party the feeling of leaving at high speed, and then slowly reducing the speed. In the other party's feeling, he was not slowing down, but leaving at the highest speed. Even the most experienced sonar may not be able to hear it.

In this way, Thors seduced the other party's submarine to chase, and then dived, letting the other party chase over the head, and the other party realized that it was abnormal.

It's too late, and we have already obtained the most suitable position at the end of the opponent at six o'clock!

"Four torpedoes, thirty seconds apart, launch!" Thors ordered.

In the first torpedo compartment, the launch tubes were opened one after another. The four torpedoes left the launch tube and rushed towards the other party's tail.

Only by killing the opponent can you get a short chance to breathe!

Thors has enough confidence that at least it can hurt the opponent and force the opponent to float up! These four torpedoes are the latest torpedoes "developed" by Pakistan! The main technologies all come from the disintegrated Soviet Union! (To be continued.)
