On this morning of rising east, the sun is rising, and he welcomes the new day with a new smile. Handle everything in this new day with a smile. But "George. Lieutenant Commander Ozraben, the commander of the USS Washington ballistic missile nuclear submarine, couldn't smile anymore. He felt death coming towards him and his 127 comrades on the submarine.

The Chinese Navy has laid a wide net around its submarines, with sonar systems all around. The constant sound of the explosion of the Chinese "small bombs" on his submarine made Lieutenant Colonel O'Zraben feel a tingling in his scalp, and he loudly ordered the sailors in charge of the submarine: "Reverse, reverse, reduce the speed to the "slowest", and then dive to the bottom of the sea. ”

In the face of the heavy encirclement of the Chinese Navy under the sea and in the air, it is very reasonable for him to give such an order. He confidently lowered his submarine sound below 90 decibels, and he could turn "George. The USS Washington is hidden in the background noise of the ocean, which is even greater in the East China Sea due to the shallow water. It is completely possible to cover up the whereabouts of submarines, so that China's anti-submarine forces can no longer hear and find themselves, play hide-and-seek with China's anti-submarine forces for a while, find an opportunity to sneak silently to the Okinawa Trench, where the water is deep and there is a lot of room for maneuver, and then find a way to escape back to the North Pacific Ocean through the wide Miyako Strait.

"George. In the explosion of the grenade, the "Washington" nuclear submarine slowly circled around the seabed of the East China Sea at a depth of more than 90 meters, with the Chinese anti-submarine helicopter. Although the explosion of the grenade was deafening and made people feel panicked, it was also "harmless" and could not cause substantial damage to the submarine.

American "George. The hearts of the officers and men on the USS Washington nuclear submarine also slowly relaxed.

China's East China Sea Fleet's DH618 and DH617, two carrier-based Sea Hawk anti-submarine ships, have been upgraded directly. The USS Washington strategic missile submarine was used as their practice target ship, taking turns in the "George Camp." USS Washington" nuclear submarine is located in the sky above the position. Throw grenades to play. But "George. The big fish of the Washington just can't be "fried". It doesn't seem like this, you can't just save money, for Lao Mei's rough-skinned nuclear submarine, the grenade's warning is not powerful enough.

The East China Sea Fleet decided to intensify its "warning" to the US nuclear submarine. The USS Washington nuclear submarine carried out a "warning" attack with depth charges.

Captain Bruce Lee, who piloted the Sea Hawk anti-submarine helicopter "DH618", and his co-pilot adjusted the depth charge drop interval adjuster. The four ED41-10 bombs mounted on the belly bomb rack, with a diameter of 280 mm and a total weight of 105 kg, are simple and compact in the water depth range of 25-100 meters, and the bomb body is half-filled with high-energy mixed explosives, and the depth charges are set to be continuously dropped at intervals of 40 meters, and the water pressure fuse is set to detonate at a depth of 30 meters.

They flew unhurriedly to "George. In the sky above the sea area where the USS Washington strategic missile nuclear submarine is located, the four depth charges on the belly bomb rack are divided into left and right, and the fuse safety pins of each depth charge are pulled out in order: 1-2-3-4. Everything went according to the setting, with the 4 depth charges activated, and the continuous disengagement from the belly hanger.

After the depth charges were dropped from the Sea Hawk anti-submarine helicopter "DH618", the stability of the air and underwater ballistics was ensured by the stabilizer, and the ED41-10 depth charge was equipped with a drag parachute. When the bomb leaves the helicopter mount at a certain distance, the drag parachute separates from the depth charge, so that the depth charge with a length of 1.25 meters and a charge of 60 kilograms quickly approaches the target submarine with a standard landing time of 23.37 seconds and a maximum diving speed of 10 meters per second.

The first ED41-10 depth charge was launched in the "George. The USS Washington strategic missile submarine entered the water 80 meters in front of the starboard side, and the second bomb was at a distance of "George. The USS Washington nuclear submarine exploded 40 meters in front of the starboard side, and the entry points of the third and fourth bombs were both at a distance from the "George Brown". The USS Washington strategic missile submarine is less than 20 meters on the port side.

These 4 ED41-10 depth charges put "George. The USS Washington strategic missile submarine is sandwiched between the front and rear left and right handles. This throw was indeed a bit out of the "warning". Depth charges exploded one after the other, and four large gray-white water columns rose into the sky.

Captain Bruce Lee and the crew of the Sea Hawk anti-submarine helicopter DH618 looked at the foamy water below, and they knew that this time the American "George. The big shark of the "Washington" must have been blown up, bleeding from all over the body, and obediently floated to the surface.

With each depth charge falling into the sea, the entire "George. On the USS Washington missile nuclear submarine, you can hear the "Ping-huh!" from the submarine sonar detector. Ping-huh! Voice. This was followed by a deafening explosion of "boom, boom". "George. The hull of the USS Washington missile nuclear submarine trembled violently with the roar of the explosion

The 4 ED41-10 depth charges fell on the "George. The USS Washington strategic missile submarine is so close that it really has to put "George. The big shark of the Washington was shocked and bled out. Almost everything that moves on the submarine flies. A lot of mechanical and electrical equipment was damaged, and almost all the glass on the instruments on the bench was shattered. The light bulbs on the submarine were covered with wire mesh, but most of them exploded. After the depth charge exploded, the inside of the submarine was looted, and it was only a little bit close to turning the submarine into the sky.

Fortunately, the emergency lights were lit in time.

Pierre, the head of the shafting compartment, reported loudly: "The temperature of the spindle is too high. ”

First mate Major Francisco said to Captain Ozraben: "The automatic safety light has burned out and the horizontal rudder engine has failed. The horizontal rudder is still facing downward. If the engine continues to turn, with the horizontal rudder down, we will go all the way down and hit the bottom of the sea. ”

In the dim emergency light, Lieutenant Colonel Otzraben had a bloody face, a bag the size of a walnut on his forehead, and his face looked hideous, and he tried his best to maintain the composure that a nuclear submarine captain should have, and gave a series of orders in a loud voice: "Use the manual to pull the horizontal rudder up; control of the sinking of the submarine; Major Francisco, you immediately organize the damage management department to start working immediately; Turn on the nuclear radiation detector in the power room and missile launch bay to see if there is any nuclear leakage in the S5W pressurized water reactor and missiles, and immediately report our situation to the Pacific Fleet."

"George. The sailors on the USS Washington immediately took their positions and quickly and without thinking about it.

"George. The USS Washington nuclear submarine had two sets of horizontal rudder locators, one mechanical and one electric, and the inspection found that the front horizontal rudder was seriously damaged, and the electric locator failed. Fortunately, the mechanical one was still easy to use, but it also made a very loud crashing sound when it was wrenched, and sometimes it would jam all of a sudden, and with the efforts of the chief engineer and a few sailors, the horizontal rudder was finally brought to the "horizontal" position.

"George. Many of the pressure gauges, lights, and electrical equipment on the USS Washington strategic missile submarine were shattered, and the second compartment of the battery burst into a "rattle" sound of metal squeezing and twisting, and powerful water pressure gushed in from the tiny cracks, and the damage management personnel were desperately repairing it. The seawater caused a short circuit in the electrical circuit, causing the battery pack of the second compartment to catch fire, and the second compartment was shrouded in smoke, and finally Ozra decided to abandon the repair of the damage to the second compartment, cut off the power supply, and seal the second compartment.

"George. USS Washington" nuclear submarine, the magnetic compass was also damaged. This problem is troublesome, because when diving, you can't use a noisy gyrocompass, so the submarine can't check the course of the submarine.

The most terrifying and deadly of all is "George. The air regeneration unit on board the USS Washington nuclear submarine failed. When the submarine is underwater, it has a special air conditioning unit, an air regeneration device and an air purification device to provide it with fresh air.

The air conditioning device can maintain the temperature and humidity of the air in the submarine in a relatively appropriate range, so as to maintain a comfortable working and living environment for the crew and meet the requirements of the instrument for the environment and climate.

The air regeneration device is the basic guarantee facility for the lives of people working and living in submarines. It is generally composed of regeneration fans, oxygen generators, carbon dioxide absorption devices and other equipment. The working procedure is roughly as follows: the regenerative fan can pump the dirty air in the cabin to the carbon dioxide absorption device through the air duct to absorb and eliminate carbon dioxide; Oxygen supplied by the oxygen generator is added to the treated air; It is then sent to each cabin through the air duct to provide people with breathing. This continuous circulation is carried out to purify the air and ensure oxygen supply. There are many ways to produce oxygen on submarines, including oxygen production from regenerated medicine plates, oxygen supply from oxygen cylinders, oxygen supply from liquid oxygen, and oxygen production by electrolysis of water.

The electrolysis of water oxygen production method can maintain oxygen production for a long time, but the power consumption is large, so the general nuclear submarine adopts this oxygen production method. "George. One of the important equipment for oxygen production by electrolysis of water on the USS Washington nuclear submarine has failed, the constant voltage constant flow plate is an important part of the air regeneration device, its input end is connected to the transformer with a wire, and the output end is connected to the cathode and anode of the ozone generator and the built-in thermocouple of the heater with a wire. If it doesn't work, the entire oxygen plant will be completely "shut down". Oxygen cannot be produced by just two sinks.

As a result of "George. The damage to the air regeneration device on the USS Washington nuclear submarine caused the control of harmful gases and impurities in the air in the cabin of the submarine to quickly exceed the standard value of the "allowable concentration", making it very difficult for the people on the submarine to breathe and the oxygen for the machines. "George. The concentration of carbon dioxide in the USS Washington has reached 3 percent, and the 132 officers and men on board can only breathe through a potassium mask.

Oxygen is the key substance for the human body to metabolize and is the first need for human life activities. When people are in an environment that lacks oxygen, they will have cold hands and feet, chest tightness and shortness of breath, palpitation, shortness of breath, bad breath, lack of concentration, paleness, nervousness, sweating, and vision loss

Captain Otzraben in view of "George. The "Washington" nuclear submarine was seriously damaged and the submarine was seriously deprived of oxygen, and after holding on underwater for nearly three hours, he made the decision to "surface" the submarine in great frustration. Under the leadership of the chief engineer, several sailors finally limited the horizontal rudder to "15 degrees upward", so that the submarine slowly surfaced.

"George. The USS Washington ballistic missile nuclear submarine, which is 116 meters long and 10.1 meters wide, has a displacement of 5,900 tons on the surface and 6,700 tons on the water, carries 16 "Polaris" A2 ballistic nuclear missiles, and can destroy countless lives. The captain, Lieutenant Commander Otsraben, was the first to emerge from the bridge of the submarine. Standing on the bridge of the submarine, he waved a white napkin at the Chinese anti-submarine helicopter flying over, indicating that he was in service.

Then he threw aside the white napkin, which symbolized his shame, and stood at the exit of the bridge. The officers and men of the USS Washington shook hands and warned every officer to be faithful to their duties. When you go to the Chinese, you can only say four things: your name, rank, number, and home address – and nothing else. Otherwise, there is treason.

The people who climbed out of the submarine didn't pay much attention to the seemingly normal and abnormal behavior of their captain. The first thing people do when they come out is to greedily breathe in the fresh and cool air outside, and at this moment they enjoy happiness, and only then do they really feel what is the real happiness in the world. There is no happiest thing in the world to say goodbye to the sailors and technical sergeants who are low and cramped, and who often make their foreheads hurt and want to do so, day and night, and occupy them day and night, and give off the smell of their own and others' stinking hammocks, and the smell of damp air, rotten and spoiled food, battery gas, sewage, stinky feet, sweat, dirty pants, bad breath due to lack of oxygen in the body, urine scratching, vomit, semen, smegma, and perfume. The foul and unpleasant mixed smell can breathe fresh air freely.

After Lieutenant Commander Otzraben shook hands with one of the last sailors to come up, he turned around and noticed that a gray Chinese destroyer with DH618 scrawled on the side of the ship was sailing towards him. Those officers and men in life jackets on the deck of the USS Washington ballistic missile nuclear submarine. He rubbed his wet eyes and went back to the submarine down the ramp of the conning tower.
