Chapter 1693: Dud Rate

The Americans were depressed, they did not expect such a thing, the Germans wrote and directed themselves, and succeeded in putting the pot on the heads of the Americans, and besides, no matter what they say, the Mexicans will not believe it.

This is nothing short of a diplomatic insult.

Just when the White House was having a headache and annoyance over this matter, on the other side of the ocean, another operation of the US Navy was slowly unfolding.

Sneak attack on the naval bases and shipyards of the Germans!

The city of Saint-Nazaire, a town and seaport in the Loire department of the French Atlantic, is located on the west coast of the French Atlantic, on the right bank of the mouth of the Loire in France. It is the outer port of Nantes, the fourth largest port in France, and is the first port with the most complete face of the Atlantic, providing transportation of oil and gas, coal, timber, feed, etc.

And on the side of the harbor, there is the largest shipyard in France.

Although the flags fluttering on the shipyards have become swastika flags, people are still living a normal life every day, they are working hard, building warships, and at the same time, in exchange for a good income, now the whole of Europe, almost all of them are using a unified euro currency, which greatly facilitates circulation and promotes economic development.

Although it is still in a state of war, the industrial level of France is more prosperous than before the war, and the busy tower cranes are building battleships like building blocks, the sparks of the arc are shining, and a new landing ship is gradually showing its prototype.

"This scene is really pleasing to the eye!" At this time, just off the coast of the shipyard, a few nautical miles away, a submarine was exposing its periscope, looking at the shipyard as if it were its prey.

On the submarine "Black Shark", Captain Dait was staring at the periscope with his eyes on the busy scene.

This is quite a dangerous behavior.

In the submarine drill code, it is believed that the use of periscopes is very dangerous, and it is easy to expose oneself and be attacked by the enemy, so the most common tactic of the US Navy submariners is to lurk underwater, use sonar to locate the enemy, and then attack, after all, the use of sonar is quite covert.

As a result, this made their results quite small, and the sonar of this era, the effect is obvious, using sonar to locate and launch torpedoes is like a blind man touching an elephant.

Darth Peite is one of the more daring submarine commanders, bold enough to use periscopes in the offshore area to look at the opponent's shipyard, and at the same time, he can also choose a good target, and wait until the evening, and then use his own torpedo to kill all the targets that have been launched and are being outfitted!

You will definitely be able to create a brilliant one, and you can complete those tasks that cannot be completed by aircraft.

Captain Daspit turned the periscope, just half a circle, and suddenly, there was a burst of joy that an aircraft carrier was being tested at sea in front of him!

The straight deck, the elevator on the side of the board, it is absolutely not wrong, it is an aircraft carrier, I really didn't expect to meet a big guy here!

Due to the distance, Captain Daspit did not see clearly, he originally thought it was an attack aircraft carrier, but in fact, it was just an escort aircraft carrier of less than 10,000 tons.

At this time, the aircraft carrier was undergoing sea trials, and it was slowly sailing on the surface of the sea, which was simply a good target!

At this time, Captain Daspit hesitated for a moment, he thought about the targets in the harbor, there were three or four, all of them belonged to him who could attack, and then looked at the present, there was only one.

If you attack this one target, you will definitely be surprised, and the subsequent targets will not be able to attack again.

It was a difficult choice, but Captain Daspit only hesitated.

What goals are most valuable? Of course, it's an aircraft carrier, and now, since there is an aircraft carrier, there is no reason for you to give it up, even if it is an aircraft carrier that has not yet entered service, it is quite important.

"Attention, the left rudder is full, ready to seize the firing position, the bow of the boat is launched, the torpedo is loaded, and the depth is three meters." Captain Daspit finally gave the order.

With his order, the submarines were quickly mobilized, and they crossed the Atlantic Ocean to the coast near France, just to come and attack, and now, now that they have a target, it is time to kill it fiercely!

Four tubes, one after another, were loaded with four MK14 torpedoes, which were the only type of torpedo they could carry.

Closer, closer, the target at this time, neither sea and air escort, nor taking a zigzag route, is simply a target placed on the water, and the position of one's own attack is exactly the side of the opponent, almost at a ninety degree angle, and there is absolutely no possibility of missing the target.

Daspitt already felt that victory was beckoning to him, sinking the ship in front of him, it was easy, the difficulty was how to escape the blow afterward, this place was too close to the opponent's coastline, as long as he launched an attack, in a while, there would definitely be an earth-shattering escape.

Then also brave the regional battle!

"Launch!"

With the sound of high-pressure air, one after another torpedoes came out of the water and headed towards the target in front, the captain of the entire US Navy's submarine force who dared to use a periscope to observe and direct the launch was probably the only one who dared to use a periscope to observe and direct the launch, and now he was about to create brilliant results.

His hands trembled, ready to press the shutter at any moment.

The periscope is attached to a camera, allowing the captain to take photos when needed, as well as as a record of the results.

At this time, Daspitt's eyes were firmly fixed on the target, and the electric torpedo could not see much of a trajectory, although the propeller in the tail stirred the seawater, there would be some bubbles, but there were too few.

He can only look at the target.

One second, two seconds, three seconds... Time was slowly passing, and Daspitt gradually changed from the excitement and excitement just now to the disappointment and puzzlement.

What's going on?

It must be able to collide, and he will not make a mistake in calculation, but the other party is unscathed, and there is no explosion of torpedoes, what is going on?

At this moment, the target suddenly emitted a black smoke and had begun to accelerate, and a report came from the sonar room, and the sound of three impacts was heard!

Hearing the sound of collision indicates that the torpedo collided with the opposing ship, but there was no explosion, why is that?

It's definitely a fuze problem!

Dustpitt was quite speechless, he had heard before that this torpedo was unreliable, with a dud rate of more than 70 percent, but he didn't expect his luck to be so bad, the first time it was fired, the dud rate was actually 100 percent!

What to do?
