w. The investment is huge. Next to the ship platform, a production workshop must be built to weld the various prefabricated parts in advance to improve production efficiency.

If the boat platform is not large enough, it must be lengthened and widened.

However, despite the huge investment, Kusai also felt that this deal was absolutely cost-effective, because if you want the Black Sea shipyard to build an aircraft carrier for yourself, you cannot squeeze out the original aircraft carrier manufacturing of the Soviet Union. The only option is to start a new job and transform a new ship. In this regard, Iraq will also learn a lot of technology. You must know that since Kusai has invested, it will definitely not only pay, and will definitely "supervise" the use of funds. Naturally, you will learn a lot of technology here.

At this time, the Soviet shipbuilding technology was gradually maturing, especially a dedicated communication line from the Neva Design Bureau to the Black Sea Shipyard had been laid and directly onto two ship platforms. The experts from the Neva Design Bureau began to use the most advanced electronic computers to conduct 3D simulations of the asymmetric hull profile and internal basic structure of the warship in the Soviet Union for the first time. This greatly saved manpower and material resources, and only 17 people were required to prepare for the construction of the hull. Each of the 30 components used to assemble the hull was built within 1 to 1 and a half months. These technologies were of great benefit to transform the Iraqi shipbuilding industry.

It can be said that Iraq invested a lot of money for its first aircraft carrier, and what it received was not just the aircraft carrier. In later generations, people involved in this plan recalled, especially in Makarov, who had become the honorary general manager of Iraq's shipyard at that time. Iraq invested a large amount of funds to build Iraq's aircraft carrier, in fact, it was also digging the corners of the Soviet building. He linked a large number of Soviet technicians through this contract. Later, under various circumstances, these personnel chose to start a new life in Iraq. Kusai was so scheming that even the most outstanding politician at that time, it was definitely not as good as Kusai. At that time, Kusai was just a 20-year-old young man!

Of course, Makarov said this with a smile on his face, because he was very satisfied with his life, compared to the half-dead situation that he still stayed in the Black Sea Shipyard. He was satisfied and could watch the huge warships sailing down the Iraqi shipyard and sailing on all oceans, especially when he saw the former Soviet Union's biggest enemy, who could no longer compete with the Iraqi navy. He felt a hint of pride of victory.

The Iraqi Navy, with the strong support of President Kusai, is gradually thriving.

Developing the navy requires a large amount of money. President Kusai, who has grasped the pulse of the times, not only uses Iraq's oil resources and vigorously develops Iraq's industry, but also takes some unconventional measures from time to time.

July 24, 1985, Persian Gulf.

There were some winds and waves on the sea, but it was much quieter than the rough waves in the Indian Ocean. Two frigates with Iraqi flags were rising and falling with the waves.

The two warships are already familiar with the Persian Gulf. They often conduct some training here. The current Persian Gulf is the back garden of the Iraqi Navy. They often come out of the Strait of Hormuz and conduct some training outside the Gulf of Oman.

This time, the two Herden-class frigates of the Iraqi Navy, the Heden-Gigar and the two Girard frigates, were conducting anti-submarine training in the Persian Gulf. The two Iraqi Tr-1700 submarines were trained together.

Now, President Kurai is paying more and more attention to the navy, and they are also stepping up their strict requirements. Although the Heden class and the Tr-1700 have been equipped with troops for only one or two years, the Iraqi Navy has fully mastered the operation of these ships and is now a step further, that is, to truly have combat capabilities.

On the Heden, Captain Abdul looked at the waves on the sea outside, and his body swayed slightly to the floor, but was as stable as Mount Tai. At the time, a wave hit the missile boat less than 100 tons, which could wet the people. They could still wipe their foreheads normally and continue moving forward. Now, staying in the air-conditioned cockpit, although the temperature outside was very high, they could still maintain sufficient physical strength.

"Shut off the gas turbine, start the diesel engine, and go forward one, and prepare for anti-submarine training." Abdul said.

When conducting anti-submarine training, the gas turbine is too noisy, which will affect its sonar detection signal. Therefore, he ordered the gas turbine to be turned off, and at the same time, he began to expand into a search queue with another Jigar.

"Release the shaking fin, the anti-submarine helicopter is dispatched, release the towed sonar, pay attention, the anti-submarine training begins." Abdul ordered.

Now, the hull is still a little shaken, and taking off a helicopter from the narrow tail deck is very dangerous, almost the same as taking a bicycle tightrope. Therefore, reducing the hull's shaking is very valuable, and the shaking fin is the best-effect anti-swing device. It is installed on the two side wings of the ship, and the cross-section is wing-shaped, also known as the side rudder. By rotating the shaking fins by the control mechanism, the water flow generates a force on it, thus forming a shaking torque and reducing swaying to reduce the hull roll.

With Abdul's order, the shaking fin opened and the hull shaking suddenly eased.

A ab212 helicopter started slowly taking off from the helicopter platform of the Heden with waves. The helicopter's rotor rotated, driving the fuselage away from the helicopter platform, and then flew towards the predetermined target against the wind.

With the arrival of these two warships, the Iraqi Navy began to have a carrier-based aviation force. In order to fly more than five tons of helicopters to take off and land on a narrow platform, they shed sweat.

In order to support naval construction, these helicopter pilots were originally from the Army. Moreover, President Kusai is said to be planning the Navy Aviation Force and plans to draw a group of pilots from the Air Force and transfer to the Navy.

At sea, a very important danger faced is the submarine underwater. Therefore, anti-submarine warfare is a key project. These warships ordered by Iraq are equipped with anti-submarine helicopters and have strong anti-submarine capabilities.

With Abdul's orders, the anti-submarine drills officially began.

Underwater, two submarines that had arrived here a day ago were waiting for their "prey" to arrive. The tr-1700 is a big guy among conventional submarines. It has a displacement similar to that of the Heden class. It is equipped with the improved French Thomson Sintra sonar and has excellent performance.

The tr-1700 has a very high degree of automation, and only less than thirty people are needed in each submarine. Now, they are on their own positions.

Although the Iraqi submarine soldiers were established for a short time, they have always learned first-class submarine confrontation techniques under the guidance of German instructors. Now, both submarines, both underwater, have turned off their engines, sank on the bottom of the sea, quietly using their sonar to listen to the movements around them.

The Persian Gulf is the busiest bay in the world, with some oil tankers above their heads. Therefore, the one who focuses the most now is the sonar soldiers. A qualified sonar soldiers need to undergo many training to hear the sounds of all known ships and civilian ships and distinguish them.

Even if a crew member on a freighter five nautical miles away drops a coin on the deck, he must tell how big its denomination is, whether it is facing up or down! Of course, this statement is definitely a myth, but it is necessary to distinguish the other party's model, especially for submarine soldiers.

Voice is related to their lives.

"On our heads, there are two large tankers, about ten nautical miles apart. One of them is the Vientiane of Iraq, and the other should be the Japanese parent asterisk, heading towards Kuwait." The sonar soldier reported to Mustafa that because he often heard these sounds, he could easily separate these tankers.

"Didn't other sound signals be found?" Mustafa asked.

“Not yet.”

When the Iraqi Navy conducts exercises, it will definitely not set up plans. Where to contact, what means to use, and what results will be achieved in the end. The exercises of the Eastern powers in later generations often have not started, and the winner will be decided. The winner will always be the Red Side.

They were just performing exercises in the Persian Gulf waters, and this area was very wide. The mission of the two frigates on the water was to find the submarine. As long as the submarine was discovered and the location of the submarine was simulated to launch anti-submarine torpedoes, even if it was won, it almost meant that it would be killed as long as it was discovered. The mission of the submarine was to use active sonar to illuminate the frigate before it was discovered by the frigate, which means that it could launch torpedoes and kill the frigate on the water.

This is a real confrontation exercise, the closest to actual combat confrontation exercise, and it makes no sense to do that kind of false.

In this kind of exercise, both sides can use their own various means. For example, Mustafa plays a game of waiting for the rabbit very cunningly. He is lurking on the channel, and the sounds of passing oil tankers will cover him. He will only dispatch after discovering the target, quickly seize the launch position and complete the simulated attack.

The Persian Gulf waterways are busy, but, besides the narrow Strait of Hormuz, there are also large areas of their waters to wander.

They had been lurking underwater for a day, and because of shutting down all unnecessary equipment, their electricity, consumed only three percent, was enough to carry out a bold and decisive action.

The sonar knew that he was carrying out important tasks, so he was listening carefully, hoping to hear the sounds of the two familiar frigates.

However, it has never happened, maybe it will appear at the next moment, or maybe it will not appear in one day.

He was not discouraged.

Suddenly, he found a special sound, and another very faint sound suddenly separated from the oil tanker of the parent asterisk. Welcome to your support, which is my greatest motivation.m
