Chapter 12: Oceanic Black Holes

At the same time, on the east coast of the United States, in addition to continuing to use the P-8A Poseidon antisubmarine patrol plane to search, the US Navy also dispatched two "Perry"-class frigates and four carrier-based SH-60 "Sea Hawk" antisubmarine helicopters to scatter a large number of detection buoys to launch a dragnet search on the entire east coast of the United States. The U.S. side even used three satellites to monitor this sea area from space. After a morning of tossing, still nothing, the Chinese submarine disappeared without a trace.

"Mr. General, after a morning of searching, we have not found any trace of the Chinese submarine." Secretary of the Navy Ronald reported to Levi.

"How is that possible? Could it be that its speed has completely exceeded the speed of an ordinary submarine? None of our planes have been found? Levi looked at Ronald in disbelief.

"As for the speed of this 'Don'-class submarine, we have not yet mastered it, but, judging by my experience, it cannot be very fast, and it is impossible for it to quickly escape when our planes arrive there. I think it must have been a new stealth technology that left us undetected. Ronald judged.

"If that's the case, then we're in a very big danger, and we can't even find the submarine that runs to our doorstep, so what kind of global strategy are we talking about?" Levi had a real challenge.

"Mr. General, I propose to mobilize our 'Ohio-class' nuclear submarines to find them." Ronald proposed.

"Well, it seems that it can only be like this, Chinese submarines have simply become black holes in the ocean." Levi felt incredible.

As Ronald judged, the 805 boat did not go far at all, it only maintained a distance of about 10 nautical miles from the American search ship planes, and went around in circles with them unhurriedly.

The 805 boat is China's latest new type of nuclear submarine equipped with the Navy, due to the second-generation silencing tile with a thickness of 150 mm on the surface of the hull, and the use of high-damping materials to make propellers, air curtain noise reduction, titanium alloy steel hull, and the installation of anti-acoustic sound source system and other unique technologies, the stealth ability is stronger, the noise can be reduced to below 90 decibels, and it is difficult for the enemy to find it whether in water or space.

Du Haiwei was also very satisfied with the performance of his submarine, although it had been tested many times before it was installed, but this was the first time it was tested in actual combat.

When the P-8A Poseidon anti-submarine patrol plane flew over for the first time, he was still a little uneasy, and skillfully used the seawater cline to evade the search. However, in the large-scale search of the US side, it is impossible for it to continue to use the seawater cline, and can only expose itself to the sea.

Fortunately, due to the superior performance of the new submarine, right under their noses, the American side was unaware of it, which made him full of confidence.

"Report to the captain, the passive sonar has spotted a submarine heading towards us." The sonar soldier reported.

"Submarines?" Du Haiwei realized that the United States did not find them on the surface of the sea, so he started to look for them underwater.

"Stare it to death for me." Du Haiwei commanded the sonar soldiers.

"Yes." The sonar soldier is gone.

"Combat alert. Dive to a depth of 600 meters. Be silent. Du Haiwei gave the order.

With the combat alert, the whole boat went into combat readiness at the first level.

It is the improved 597 boat of the latest "Ohio" class nuclear submarine of the United States, although it also has very strong stealth, but in front of China's 805 boat, it seems to be backward. In the vast ocean, the sound waves displayed by the 805 boat are at best a whale.

At this moment, the American submarine turned on the passive sonar, as well as all the detection equipment except the active sonar, and quietly detected the way forward.

After all, the Americans are Americans, and with rich combat experience and advanced equipment, they still discovered the clues of the 805 boat.

"Report to the captain, 5,000 meters ahead of us on the left, there are signs of a submarine diving." The probe reported to the captain, Colonel Carl.

"Full speed ahead, catch up." Karl ordered.

Boat 597 immediately caught up, however, everything returned to calm, and Karl found nothing.

"No, it's here." Karl said to himself, and his intuition told him that the Chinese submarine did not leave.

In fact, the 805 boat was 200 meters below it, lying quietly on the seabed, staring at its every move.

Carl is very familiar with the sea area in this area, he knows that 600 meters below is the bottom of the sea, and the Chinese submarine is hiding on the bottom of the sea, but unfortunately the maximum depth of the 597 boat is only 400 meters, and it can't go down.

"Dive 50 meters." Carl decided to give it a try.

50 meters down, however, a huge pressure was already felt in the boat.

"Continue to dive 50 meters." Karl stared at the depth gauge and continued to command.

Before 50 meters, the sea water had already begun to spray through the gap in the door of the 597 boat.

"Report to the captain, keep diving, we may be crushed." Chief Engineer reported.

"Stop diving and go up to 400 meters." Reluctantly, Karl gave a new order.

"Drop a towed probe to probe the bottom of the sea." Carl couldn't do anything, and he thought about it, hoping that their advanced towed probe would be able to spot the Chinese submarine when they scanned the seabed.

"Report to the captain, the U.S. submarine dropped a towed probe." The sonar soldier reported.

"Keep an eye on it and get around it." Du Haiwei knows that although the American towed detector is very advanced and can scan everything on the seabed, it has an Achilles' heel, that is, it is very slow.

Hour by hour, Carl stared at the images sent back by the towed probe, and found nothing in the depths of the ocean floor except for fish and other sea creatures.

"If you can't get rid of it, destroy it." Karl remembered the vicious look on the face of the Admiralty Minister when he gave him the order. He decided.

"Float up, ready to launch a deep-water torpedo." Karl hoped to rely on their deep-water torpedo's own tracking and detection system to find the Chinese submarine and destroy it.

At this time, Du Haiwei's heart also rose to his throat, he understood that the American submarine had discovered their approximate location, and he speculated about its next move.

"Prepare to launch the bait." At the same time, Du Haiwei also gave the order.

"Whoosh", "Bang" Almost at the same time, boats 597 and 805 fired deep-water torpedoes and decoys. The two torpedoes whistled and tracked the bait, and then the "boom" sounded a violent and dull explosion, and the two submarines were impacted to varying degrees, especially the 805 boat because of its proximity, the amplitude of the impact was naturally much more serious, and in an instant, the hull shook violently, and the equipment in the boat was temporarily damaged by the impact of the shock wave, and the lights flickered on and off.

"Twenty meters up and full speed." Duhaiway gave a new order.

The 597 had risen to the surface, and Karl happily walked onto the bridge, waiting to see what would float in the wrecked Chinese submarine.
