Chapter 486: Discovery of a Soviet submarine

When the aircraft carrier formation is sailing at full speed, the sound of the propeller churning the water, the sound of the bow breaking the water, the sound of the engine, all kinds of noises are intertwined, increasing exponentially, and one of the results of these is the loss of underwater monitoring!

The US aircraft carrier group is not invincible, and although it flaunts its might on the sea and air, it is still weak underwater. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

Yes, the U.S. aircraft carrier group has obvious superiority on the water, but,-for-tat, the Soviet Union has also developed a series of nuclear submarines to pose a new threat, and in order to protect underwater safety, the Los Angeles-class submarines have a huge responsibility.

If it weren't for the target to accelerate with your own aircraft carrier formation, it would not be easy for you to discover the other party! The USS Groton, the seventh of the Los Angeles class, sailed with the Nimitz while keeping the water safe, and the USS Groton followed as the carrier formation accelerated, but in order to prevent accidents, it released its own towed sonar.

Just as it was about to patrol and catch up with the aircraft carrier formation, it noticed a special noise under the water, which was somewhat like a fish blowing bubbles, and some were not like it!

The sonar with excellent hearing, listening carefully, using advanced American technology to build a submarine, the sonar performance is also extremely good, the electronic computer is carefully compared, but found that this signal is different from any kind of sound in its own signal bank!

But, to be sure, this sound is not made by nature! It is definitely a new Soviet submarine!

Having come to this conclusion, the Groton released a communication buoy and told the mothership to begin an underwater hunt!

Attacking nuclear submarines, the most important task in the Cold War, was to search for enemy nuclear submarines!

Moreover, with the release of the communication buoy, the mothership will definitely send other anti-submarine forces to coordinate anti-submarine operations! Just a few days ago, one of our own nuclear submarines was abused by the entire aircraft carrier formation of the Soviets, and the Soviets were really black! How dare you really use force! With hundreds of rockets, you can bomb your own submarine hard!

This submarine was controlled by the Soviets, and the secrets on it were obtained by the Soviets, which was another major loss for the United States! Now, the submarine is tethered to the port of Chakhbahar, waiting for a diplomatic war of words.

At this time, if you also capture a submarine of the Soviets, the effect will be different!

The same idea was not only in the mind of Captain Battier of the Groton, but when the information was sent to the Nimitz aircraft carrier, all the top naval officials, including Jonathan, were moved.

Just now Jonathan wanted to dispatch Tomcat fighters, which could only be a deterrent to the Soviet aircraft carrier formation, and even if it was not good, it would enter the air defense circle of the Soviet aircraft carrier formation, and it would be attacked by the Soviets, and this kind of misfire was not recognized by the White House, and now, a new opportunity has quietly arrived!

Behind your own formation, a nuclear submarine of the Soviets appeared! Although the Los Angeles-class report is now an unknown target, there is no doubt that this is definitely a nuclear submarine of the Soviets! In this case, it is right in front of the Soviet Navy that a unique anti-submarine contest will be staged! See how the Soviet Navy coped!

After all, until the carrier-based aviation of the USSR matured, the only task of the Soviet Navy was to protect their nuclear submarines, reach the oceans and create opportunities for their nuclear submarines to launch ballistic missiles!

"Change to full-fledged anti-submarine aircraft, take off the S3 anti-submarine aircraft, and be sure to force the submarines of the Soviets out of the sea!" Jonathan said: "This time, let the Soviets know our true strength!" ”

The aircraft carrier of the US Navy is the real sea giant, relying on catapult take-off, which can make the types of carrier-based aircraft more diverse, in addition to the Tomcat for air defense combat, the A-7 for ground attack, and the all-rounder Hornet, they also have a special fixed-wing anti-submarine aircraft S3!

The S-3 anti-submarine aircraft is the first carrier-based anti-submarine aircraft equipped with a turbofan engine developed by Lockheed Corporation, which is used to replace the S-2 anti-submarine aircraft, in addition to being able to carry out continuous search, surveillance and attack on submarines, and carry out anti-submarine protection for its own important naval forces such as aircraft carriers and task forces, it can be used as a refueling aircraft, anti-submarine command and control aircraft and electronic countermeasures aircraft after modification. It can be said that this is also an all-rounder aircraft.

After entering service in 75 years, this anti-submarine aircraft has become an important anti-submarine force of aircraft carrier formations!

Now, after receiving the order, the two S-3 anti-submarine planes that were urgently lifted up from the side lift soon came to the ejection position, and the four flight personnel sat in an anti-submarine plane, which were the chief and co-pilot of the front cabin and the tactical coordinator and sonar officer of the rear cabin, and at the same time, two torpedoes were already mounted under the wings, which could be put into anti-submarine operations at any time, in addition to the exterior that could be seen, on the pylons in the belly, there were also depth charges.

The TF34 turbofan engine roared, and after an emergency ejection into the air, two anti-submarine aircraft pounced on the target indicated by the Groton, circling nearby, constantly throwing sonar buoys down.

Although anti-submarine has been around for decades, the basic method remains the same, and the most effective way is to use geometric principles to form an array of long-distance sonar buoys.

On board the anti-submarine aircraft, the sonar crew is listening carefully, and in addition to his sensitive ears, the onboard equipment is also providing maximum assistance. Univanc's 1832A multipurpose digital computer is providing fast computing for acoustic data processors by processing signals from sonar buoy receivers for synthesis and processing.

And then, there was no then!

Generally speaking, the noise of the Soviet submarines is very loud, and after the anti-submarine aircraft takes off, even if the opponent's submarine is sailing at a low speed, the unique noise of the opponent's propeller can be analyzed to determine the position and movement of the opponent.

But now, the kind of signal reported by the Groton was not received at all, and the submarines of the Soviets seemed to blend into the background noise of the sea!

Anti-submarine aircraft are constantly flying in the sky, and the tactical coordinators on both planes are constantly switching new tactics, but there is no reaction under the water!

The Americans were stunned, in the past, their own submarines were often on the periphery of the Soviet submarine base, following the submarines of the Soviets to play games, the Soviets' submarines were very noisy, they could be heard fifty kilometers away, and they sailed at full speed, and the noise was even more obvious, and now it seems that the Soviets are amusing themselves?
