George. USS Washington nuclear-powered aircraft carrier.

With a full load displacement of 100,0400 tons, a length of more than 300 meters, and a deck width of 76 meters, this steel behemoth sailed slowly on the surface of the sea like a floating city.

The huge flight deck is full of all kinds of combat planes that represent the majesty of its maritime supremacy, but because of the special nature of the escort mission, the number of fighters carried by the Washington is not large, and most of them are Sea Hawk anti-submarine helicopters and Viking. Originally, this fixed-wing anti-submarine aircraft was only equipped with a small number of equipment per aircraft carrier, and it mainly carried out reconnaissance missions, but in order to adapt to the war with the Atlanteans, the number of aircraft carriers on each escort mission was increased by four times, because it had been discontinued for many years, and it could only be drawn from other aircraft carriers, and even pulled out of the aircraft cemetery for repair.

This is the most important rapid anti-submarine support weapon of US imperialism.

On the right side of the Washington, is the destroyer USS Brisbane, which is responsible for protection, of course, this is only close protection, thirty kilometers away on its left is the cruiser Normandy, twenty kilometers in front of it is the destroyer Canon, and fifty kilometers in front of it is the destroyer King Kong from the sea, and fifty kilometers away from the right rear there is also the destroyer Zhongyun, which is just a relatively special node on the escort line, and on this long escort line, there are more than 200 warships of the United States and Japan. It stretches from San Francisco to Tokyo.

"Report to the Captain, anomalous metal echoes have been spotted underwater."

"Metal echoes?" The captain, who was originally leisurely looking at the sea, turned his head and looked at the sonar officer who came to report in surprise.

"Yes, multiple metal echoes, very close to each other, and constantly moving, but without any mechanical noise, it is certain that it is not a submarine." The sonar officer said.

Looking at the sonar screen, there were at least seven obvious metal reflection sources at least two thousand meters underwater, even the experienced captain was a little dazed, this is definitely not a submarine, the submarine cannot be so small, and it is impossible to move at such intervals.

"Quick, the order enters the combat state, all ships immediately concentrate on the mothership, and all anti-submarine helicopters take off with bombs!" Although he did not understand what it was, the captain instinctively sensed a hint of danger, and he did not hesitate to give the order to prepare for battle.

After receiving the order from the mothership, the Normandy, Canon, and even the Brisbane all approached the target position, and on the deck of the Washington, with the terrible sound of battle sirens, a pilot hurriedly ran out, and then a series of Seahawk anti-submarine helicopters took off one after another, and at the same time, the six Seahawks in the sky who were responsible for guarding first flew over the target.

In the command room of the USS Washington, the captain stared intently at the screen, the points of light that represented the source of reflection had stopped moving, and seven points of light formed a circle like open petals, lying just below the course two kilometers in front of the Washington.

"Turn the rudder right, avoid this thing, and order the helicopter to drop a deep bomb." The captain hesitated for a moment before ordering.

Whatever it is, it's not a good thing anyway.

"Uh, what's the turn?" Wang Yue, who was lying on the bed thousands of kilometers away, looked at the location of the Washington USS marked by Lucy's newspaper staff on the big screen and said in amazement.

He didn't know that because of his negligence, the preparations before the second fool sprint, its position had been exposed prematurely, and in order to get the fastest sprint speed, the second fool had to put down those spare torpedoes and mines first, and only carry four torpedoes to attack, but the alloy steel cylinders that were placed around forgot to protect them.

"Ma's, don't care, attack!" The guy immediately shouted with a sinister grin.

The two huge drains, like jet engines, instantly spewed out high-speed water, and its huge body was like a cannonball, with a cavity formed at high speed, bounced up from the ground abruptly, and at a high speed of nearly 200 knots, it flew straight at the Washington that was turning.

In the open sea, its body immediately lost its cover.

Less than three seconds later, the screams of the sonar officer rang out from the USS Washington: "Atlanteans! ”

"Port side rocket deep launch!" Almost at the same time, the captain's roar rang out.

After the tragedy of King Sejong, all the warships of the United States and Japan were urgently equipped with rocket depth launchers, and this primitive weapon was actually the most effective against the Atlanteans, whether it was a giant octopus or the high-speed monster fish. In particular, aircraft carriers, which have sufficient positions and are the most important warships, are equipped in large quantities, and there are eight six-link rocket depth bomb launchers on the left and right sides of the Washington, which are copied from ancient mousetrap drawings from historical sources.

Long pole depth charges with rockets in the tail immediately flew out of the edge of the port deck one after another with a jet of flame, and at the same time the Sea Hawk anti-submarine helicopters in the sky began to drop light torpedoes on the sea.

But at this time, the second fool has already begun the second sprint.

Six MK46 anti-submarine torpedoes were the first to enter the water, and then the thunderhead active sonar was turned on, capturing and locking on the target in less than two seconds, and then swooping down diagonally at a speed of 40 knots.

At this time, the second sprint was also completed, and after the two sprints, it had entered a thousand meters of water depth, but this was far from enough, because at such a depth, even his eyes could not see the Washington on the surface of the sea, and the light could not be transmitted from the sea to such a depth, he had to enter within five hundred meters of water to do so, so the second fool immediately started the third sprint.

At this time, the first rocket depth bomb on the sea also fell into the water, but it took longer for them to reach the depth of attack with their own weight, and at the same time, on the Normandy, Brisbane, and Gannon, Asroc anti-submarine missiles were also flying out of the launch canisters one after another, rowing straight at the two fools.

The third sprint of the second fool was completed in a few seconds and was four hundred meters deep.

With its light-sensitive eyes, the Washington's huge shadow loomed against the backdrop of the sea's sunlight.

Without the slightest hesitation, the four wrists and feet with the launch canister were raised in front of him almost at the same time, and then the other four wrists and feet rolled up the cap with the runner, like pulling out an ordinary bottle stopper, and the terrifying strange power of the second fool instantly pulled out the cap with the rubber sleeve, and the seawater immediately poured in.

At the moment before the torpedo in the launch canister was fired, the four launch canisters were fine-tuned at the same time, and the mouth of the barrel was all facing the Washington, and with the recoil generated by the compressed air, the four wrists and feet moved back slightly, and four heavy torpedoes more than six meters long flew out of the launch barrel with air bubbles, and then the engine started, and under the impetus of the tail propeller, it flew straight to the Washington more than 700 meters away.

And it was at this time that the first torpedo arrived.

Looking at the small torpedo that suddenly appeared in the seawater, the second fool did not hesitate to abandon the launch canister and suddenly turned around and rushed into the deep sea, the speed of the anti-submarine torpedo and its high-speed sprint could not be compared at all, and the torpedo, which was already less than fifty meters apart, disappeared from view almost instantly.

However, the torpedo that relied on active sonar self-guidance did not stop the pursuit, but continued to follow the sonar signal to the second fool, behind it, the same torpedoes one after another pierced the deep sea, and on the sea, the Asroc anti-submarine missile launched on the Brisbane also arrived, the booster and the warhead separated, and the torpedo as the warhead also followed the companion in front.

And in the sea above, four heavy anti-ship torpedoes were dragging a pronounced track under the simultaneous action of engines and buoyancy, crashing into the waterline of the USS Washington in a straight line with an upward slope.

"Torpedo! Four torpedoes! The speed is forty-six knots, and the distance is six hundred meters! The heart-rending screams of the sonar officer on the USS Washington rang out.

On this giant aircraft carrier, countless screams rang out in an instant.

It was the first time it had been attacked, and the first time the Nimitz-class aircraft carrier had been attacked in decades of service, not to mention the ordinary sailors, but the captain and his officers were in a bit of a trance, and the notion that they were almost never really attacked in their brains, it was just a routine exercise for them.

But not today, the trajectory of the four torpedoes pierced the huge ship like a knight's spear.

"Rocket deep bomb interception, anti-submarine torpedo interception, torpedo decoy launch active sonar..."The captain of the USS Washington came to his senses instantly, and then wiped the cold sweat on his head and kept yelling.

The rocket deep bomb that was still being fired at the second stupid position immediately changed the navigation path of the target to the underwater torpedo, and at the same time on the Brisbane, which had just turned in front of the Washington, four anti-submarine torpedoes immediately fired and crashed into the four torpedoes, and the torpedo decoy dragged behind the Washington also began to emit active sonar signals outward, of course, it belongs to dancing to the blind man, and the MK8 has no seeker, no matter how strong its sonar is to attract you, it has no meaning.

In fact, the other two means of interception are also meaningless, the launch position of the second fool is too close, only 700 meters, the torpedo of 46 knots is only half a minute away, the anti-submarine torpedoes on the Washington are all shot out to attack the second fool, it is too late to play a second round, the Brisbane is more than a kilometer away, the speed of the MK46 torpedo is only 40 knots, it is impossible to arrive in this time.

As for the rocket depth bomb, this is really useful in theory.

The remaining ten rocket-deep bombs on the port side of the Washington were all fired in an instant, but they still failed to fall into the water in front of the four torpedoes, leaving them with too little reaction time, the two almost passed by, and it also took time for the deep bombs to fall into the water to reach the depth of the explosion, so it was not until the first torpedo hit the Washington that the water column of the deep bomb explosion rose on the water behind it.
