The main weapon used by submarines is torpedoes, and Germany has always attached great importance to the development of underwater forces. During World War II, during World War II, the world's first electric torpedo and the world's first acoustic self-guided torpedoes were developed. However, after World War II, since Germany was a defeated country, it could no longer develop thermal-powered torpedoes, and could only develop such ordinary electric torpedoes. This led to a gap between Sut torpedoes and large thermal torpedoes such as MK48 and "Saidfish". However, the biggest advantage of this new torpedo, developed in 1980, is that it is very low noise.

"The torpedo has been loaded." The sound of a report from the sailors came from the torpedo compartment in front.

The sut torpedo is an electric mine developed by Germany after years of research. It has three-dimensional maneuverability and can attack enemy surface ships and submarines. The sut torpedo has a diameter of 533 mm, a total length of 6.15 meters, a weight of 1,414 kilograms, a maximum navigation depth of 400 meters, and a minimum navigation depth of 2 meters. Its power uses a silver-zinc battery and a dual-turn DC engine to drive a set of counter-rotating propellers. The torpedo warhead is 260 kilograms, and it is loaded with a TNT- and Black Sorkin high-energy 60xs mixed with TNT and Black Sorkin. One torpedo can explode and sink local ships of 3,000 tons.

Originally, this torpedo could use the method of actively sonar to provide data, but in this case, the active sonar needs to emit sound waves to the target, which will make the other party perceptive. Therefore, Mustafa chose the ancient method: using an attack periscope to visually provide the launch data!

"The target, starboard, distance, seven nautical miles, is ready to launch."

It is too outdated to let an advanced linear torpedo adopt this kind of launch method, but this is a means to make this incident an unexpected event. Otherwise, they would know that the hull was hit by the attacking sonar. It must have been their side who fired the torpedo.

"The data has been entered."

"emission!"

Under the sea surface that no one can see, the tr-1700 submarine has opened its first launch cover. The water pressure balance system begins to work, allowing the rear of the torpedo to be launched to be the same as the outboard sea water pressure, so that when the torpedo moves forward during the launch process, the back pressure of the sea water originally acting on the lightning head is offset by the back pressure acting on the lightning tail. Then, with a bang, the compressed air in the high-pressure air bottle of the launch system enters the tail of the torpedo in the launch tube. The compressed air entering the tail of the torpedo began to expand. The front torpedo and the sea water near and around the lightning body are pushed out of the launch tube.

A torpedo more than six meters long began to drill out of the launch tube. The tandem propeller at the tail began to rotate, stirring up the surrounding sea water, and stu torpedo. It began to move towards its own target!

Following this torpedo, there is also a wire at the tail. As the torpedo advances, the wire releaser quickly releases wires with a diameter of less than one millimeter. This wire connects the submarine and the torpedo, which can help the torpedo approach the target at any time.

The McCain cargo ship was still sailing calmly, and they were still less than a hundred nautical miles away from their destination. After arriving tonight, they could unload the cargo overnight, so that their side would be safe.

Green still didn't take it lightly. He knew that the closer he was to the end, the more likely he was to be in danger.

Distant. Central Arabian Sea.

An e-2c Hawkeye Early Warning Plane hovered over a distance of 200 nautical miles in the front of the aircraft carrier formation, monitoring everything on the sea.

The radar operator looked at the light spots on the screen, which were another cargo ship that was coming out through the Strait of Hormuz under the protection of the peninsula defense forces.

It seems that there is nothing Americans here, but they are still unwilling to give up, just staying in the Arabian Sea and not leaving.

In addition to those signals, there were also several cargo ships coming out of the Gulf of Aden, one of which was heading towards the Gulf of Oman, which was the Americans' own cargo ship.

Although sanctions were imposed on Iran, those agricultural products were not included in the scope.

He looked at the light spots and was a little dazzled. The e-2 early warning aircraft was just a small early warning aircraft, and the operators were only three of them. After more than three hours of work, he was already a little tired.

A few nautical miles away from the cargo ship, he had never noticed the small echo signal. It was most likely that it was just a small fishing boat.

He didn't know that it was the echo of the submarine's periscope. He missed a chance to protect the U.S. own ship.

"Hawkeye III, ready to return." The pilot in front received an order from the aircraft carrier in his headphones, and their fuel was insufficient.

“Yes, ready to return.”

Underwater, the stu torpedo was still sailing forward. At this time, its speed was the normal cruise speed, twenty knots!

When sailing to the point where the other party is still four miles away, the passive acoustic self-guided system in the front of the torpedo begins to work.

It immediately found its target: the noisy cargo ship!

"The torpedo has discovered the target," said the torpedo operator.

“Prepare to cut the wire.”

The stu torpedo adopts a combination of line guide and autonomous guidance. When the distance is close, you can guide it yourself. When you are disturbed and lose your target, it will be converted into line guide.

But now, the other party is a cargo ship and has no ability to create interference at all. Therefore, as long as the torpedo finds the target itself, there is almost no possibility of failure.

Sure enough, after the stu torpedo discovered the target in a passive manner, it immediately discovered that the target was too easy to identify. Next, according to its own program, it used its own active acoustic self-guiding method to emit two sound pulses to accurately locate it.

These two pulsed sound waves are much smaller than the sound wave pulses emitted by the submarine themselves.

Therefore, when the crew on the McCain cargo ship hit the hull, they heard two small sounds, but they did not react at all.

At this time, the torpedo finally fully confirmed the target. According to the procedure, the propeller behind began to accelerate and rotate, accelerating to the limit speed: forty knots!

This is the final sprint!

"Boom!" A huge explosion immediately shocked all the personnel on the McCain cargo ship, including Captain Green.

Green's first reaction was that they were hit by a thunder!

Damn Iranians, they really can't communicate. How can they breeze in such a sea!

Mines and torpedoes both explode underwater, and for people without military experience, they cannot distinguish the relationship between the two.

The only thing that made Green feel lucky was that the explosion occurred on the back of the hull, away from the cargo hold in front. Otherwise, if it exploded in the middle or front, the arms carried on the ship might launch an explosion together. In that case, the entire ship would probably disappear in the violent explosion immediately.

Although Green said confidently when he set out, he still needed to make a lot of decision if he could save all the lives of the ship to transport arms.

And now, it is time to be critical.

The resistance of merchant ships to sink is far less than that of warships. Now a powerful torpedo exploded at the tail, completely tearing the keel at the rear of the USS McCain cargo ship and affecting the engine compartment. If the explosion occurs in the middle, it is entirely possible to blow the ship into two pieces.

The water has begun to be filled with several cabins at the bottom.

"Report to the captain, the water has been severely in the tail, and the ships will sink into the water at all times." A crew member ran up and said.

What? Isn’t it just a mine? The captain looked back and saw that the tail had begun to tilt. He changed his face. Unexpectedly, the ship was entering the water so quickly!

what to do?

"Drain the water immediately, we must rescue our boat!" Green said.

He did not notice that the thing that had been exposed on the sea in the distance had quietly shrunk under the sea.

After observing the attack effect with a periscope, Mustafa was very satisfied. The ship was hit at the tail and was already tilting rapidly. It might soon sink into the water. They had completed the mission successfully.

Then, the one below needs to get out of here!

You know, they attacked American cargo ships. If this matter spreads, Iraq and Iran will probably have the same reputation as Iran. Attacking civilian ships is an act that makes everyone in the world not ashamed of.

"Go forward three, dive to one hundred meters, rudder two, and immediately leave the launch position." Mustafa said.

At the same time, another tr-1700 submarine, learned that it had succeeded in the attack, began to accelerate its departure.

The work of wiping the butt is left to others to do.

"Captain, the water is in serious condition and we are unable to complete the rescue work of the ship." A Jewish crew member shouted.

"Nonsense! Let's rescue me!" Green scolded loudly.

"Captain, let's send a distress signal!" said another crew member.

At sea, when you are killed, as long as you simply send a sos signal, a ship sailing nearest will come to rescue you. This is the unshirkable responsibility and obligation of sailing at sea.

"No, we cannot send a distress signal." Green immediately denied the idea. Because the secrets on the ship must not be disclosed.

"We can ask the U.S. Navy to come and rescue," said the first mate. "Now they are only a few hundred nautical miles away from here, and we can hold on until their helicopters arrive."

So what if the helicopter comes? Can you rescue these crew members, but the ship will still sink? The captain doesn't think it's a good idea.

In fact, they knew in their hearts that the information from Mossad came to show that the escort ships of the Peninsula defense forces were only fifty nautical miles away, but they did not want the Arabs to intervene.

However, their not wishing does not mean that the Arabs will not come, they are ready long ago!
