Chapter Eighty-Eight: The Collapse of Myths
Below the clear water, like a volcano erupting lava, the flames of the explosion flashed suddenly, and the stirred water column instantly turned into a monstrous wave and erupted from the port side waterline of the Washington, and the 100,000-ton giant aircraft carrier fell to the right as if it had been punched by the hand of the gods.
Immediately there was a scream of terror on the deck.
But before the screams of the American imperialist sailors fell, the second one arrived, and they could even watch how the white track characteristic of the steam gas torpedo under the water crashed straight into their feet.
The impact of the explosion of the first torpedo still caused some interference to this one, which was supposed to explode at a depth of five meters below the waterline, but it was slightly lifted upwards and exploded almost close to the waterline, and the flames of the explosion instantly scattered and splashed with waves and steel fragments, and it looked very shocking like a brilliant flame meteor.
But for the officers and sailors of the US imperialist Navy on the sea and in the sky, this scene is a complete nightmare, and the most terrifying nightmare, they look at the sprayed flames one by one, and they can't even believe that this is reality, their aircraft carriers, their nuclear-powered aircraft carriers, their sea supremacy that has been arrogant to the world for nearly half a century, making countless challengers desperate...
In this way, the body that was once considered inviolable was torn open.
The only thing to be thankful for is that they were lucky, because the other two torpedoes did not hit, but grazed in the bow of the ship and then jumped into the distance, which is normal, the direct aiming torpedo was not high in the first place, and it required a complicated launch procedure, and Wang Yue just took the eyes of the two fools to aim visually, and it was impossible to be as stable as a submarine when launching, if it was not close enough, I am afraid that none of them would hit.
But these two torpedoes shattered a myth that had lasted for decades, shattered the last fig leaf on the body of the US imperialists, and unceremoniously poured a soak of urine on their once suffocating Statue of Liberty.
And at this time, on the sea not far from the Washington, it was like a boiling pot and countless exploding water columns were densely arched, these were those torpedoes and deep shells that attacked the second fool, they could not hurt the second fool, even if the US imperialist has now improved them and greatly increased the depth of the attack, but it is absolutely impossible to hit below two thousand meters, and it is difficult to even one thousand meters, and the water pressure will easily detonate them who are already in a combat state.
However, two torpedoes want to sink a Nimitz-class aircraft carrier, which is too fantastic, not to mention this kind of 100,000-ton super sea fortress, even a heavy aircraft carrier in World War II can not be sunk by two torpedoes.
Of course, there are such strange exceptions as the Shinano.
"How many such torpedoes can sink this aircraft carrier?" In the Haizhou Divine Beast Palace, Mr. Krabs asked an agent Lucia.
At this time, the Lucia satellite in space and the photoelectric radar on the AWACS aircraft had detected the fire of the explosion on the Washington, which means that the Atlantean attack was successful, and the entire hall was cheering even the Lucia people and the Jinguo, in fact, even they did not expect this to be the result, and the Lucians were just gambling, in their opinion, the best choice for the Atlanteans was not to attack the US imperialist aircraft carriers, but to attack the oil tankers with those torpedoes.
Including the Emperor Pu in Moscow and those generals in the General Staff of Huaguo were also very surprised at this time, this kind of thing cannot be hidden from Huaguo, although they did not participate, it does not mean that they did not pay attention.
"Your Excellency Divine Beast, if you want to sink a Nimitz-class aircraft carrier, with the power of the torpedoes we use, I'm afraid it's impossible to hit less than ten of them." Agent Lucia said respectfully.
"Huh?!" Boss Wang, who was hundreds of kilometers away, couldn't help but feel sad, this number did make him very depressed, but then he showed a fierce expression like a vicious wolf.
By this time, there was already a lot of chaos on the USS Washington, two torpedoes that had exploded below the waterline had opened two large holes in its hull, and sea water was pouring into the huge ship.
Fortunately, the huge body, the well-designed hull, the countless compartments, and the well-trained damage management quickly played a powerful role at this time, and after the initial confusion, the officers and men of the American imperialist navy quickly woke up from the shock, and immediately began to deal with the danger in accordance with the standards of many years of training, and the water ingress was brought under control in a very short time.
Even the operation was not affected, those anti-submarine helicopters loaded with torpedoes and depth shells took off one after another in a hurry, including Vikings, began to enter the take-off zone and were shot out by catapults.
But just as the damage controllers were doing their best to protect their aircraft carrier in the cabin, the sonar officer's exclamation sounded again in the command room: "Atlanteans, Atlanteans again!" ”
Yes, of course Boss Wang can't just stop there, his goal is to sink the Washington is not just a wound, this small injury can be revived in less than two months after it is driven back, in that case, this attack will be meaningless. There are still four torpedoes there, although even if these four are added, it is still unknown whether they can sink the Washington, but since they are done, they must be ruthless, even if they smash those mines as grenades, even if they transfer the silver shadow, they will send the Washington to the bottom of the sea, which is related to the dignity of His Majesty the Emperor of the Atlantean Empire.
When the water pressure shock caused by the torpedoes and mines overhead was crushed by the water pressure gradually subsided, the second fool who grabbed the other four torpedoes ejected and began the second round of attacks.
By this time, all the anti-submarine torpedoes and depth shells on the port side of the Washington had been exhausted, and the sailors were desperately pushing torpedoes and depth shells in an attempt to reload before the Atlanteans attacked, but this was obviously impossible.
The Brisbane, which was its bodyguard, immediately did not hesitate to insert itself into the port side of the Washington after discovering that the underwater Atlanteans had begun to attack again, and at the same time, the remaining two anti-submarine torpedoes and twelve rocket deep bombs in the bow of the ship were quickly fired, and the Seahawk anti-submarine helicopters in the sky smashed all the remaining deep bombs.
But this could not stop the attack of the two fools, the first time they had no effect, this time it will not be effective, under the command of Wang Yue, this terrifying monster rushed straight to the Washington at a speed faster than a torpedo.
All the officers and men of the U.S. Imperialist Navy on the entire sea were like crazy, all the weapons they could use were smashed underwater, and all the remaining Asroc anti-submarine missiles on the Normandy, Brisbane, and Cannon were all launched, and they flew over in dense clusters, like a flock of predatory seabirds, and even the naval guns on the Brisbane joined the attack, creating a dense barrage on the port side of the Washington.
But it's a pity that speed, without speed, is in vain, those torpedoes with a speed of up to forty knots, even if they lock on to the target, in the face of the crazy sprint speed of the second fool, they can only follow behind and eat fart.
The giant octopus kept squirting water at high speed like a jump, always maintaining a high speed of more than 100 knots, starting from two thousand meters underwater, drawing a diagonal line towards its target, like a cannonball out of the chamber, until it was at the bottom less than 100 meters deep.
And to its left side, swarms of torpedoes were desperately coming.
The second fool didn't even look at the direction of those torpedoes, and even ignored the Asroc anti-submarine missile fired by the Brisbane that entered the water less than 400 meters away, and after seeing the huge bottom of the Washington overhead, he immediately raised the four torpedoes without hesitation, and then dragged the launch canister, and raised his wrists and feet in an instant before the torpedo was fired, regardless of the danger that he might be injured by being too close, he almost blocked the launch port to the keel position and watched the four torpedoes shoot out.
The distance was too close, although after shooting the torpedo, he didn't even bother to take a second look, and the second fool immediately jumped down, but the impact of the explosion that came in an instant still pushed it up, but fortunately, the rough-skinned second fool didn't care about this little thing at all, and after looking at the dozens of torpedoes that almost rushed in front of him, he suddenly accelerated, and rushed directly into the bottom of the sea.
USS Washington.
The firing distance of these four torpedoes was too close, because of the length of the two fools' wrists and feet, it was less than thirty meters away from the keel position at the bottom of the ship when it was launched, and such a distance was no different from launching directly from the top, and there was no problem of missing at all, and as a result, none of the four torpedoes missed, and all of them exploded at the keel position of the Washington.
Four pills that add up to more than one and a half tons exploded under eleven meters of water, and the terrifying power that was bound by the sea water and had nowhere to vent was all turned into a powerful water pressure impact and crashed into the keel of the Washington, even a 100,000-ton giant ship could not withstand such a violent force, and the huge body was thrown upwards fiercely, and even some fighters that were taking off were directly thrown up.
The explosion instantly formed a huge cavitation in the seawater, when the power of the explosion passed, the huge body of the Washington fell again, the buoyancy of the sea water outside the cavitation area supported its two ends, but the seawater in the middle cavitation area did not have time to fill, and its weight of 100,000 tons in the middle of the air became the deadliest killer at this time, under the action of the bending force of 100,000 tons, even the sound of steel deformation and tearing from below could be heard in the command room.
The Washington is finished.
Its keel has been deformed even if it is not broken at this time, maybe it will still not sink, but as a warship, it has lost its value of repair.
The captain looked at the sailors who were in a mess with a pale face, called the deputy captain to hand over command to him, and then walked into the captain's room and closed the door, and soon a gunshot was heard inside.
