Chapter 461: Four Hundred Meters Deep
The torpedo is automatically searched by a set program, and just now, after discovering that the sound appeared in this sea area, but after sailing past, nothing was found, and this optimized torpedo naturally turned around and looked for it again. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
This U-turn startled Johnson, at this time, this torpedo is behind his own, searching for the position of his own propeller, even if the propeller stops and the sea water flows by, it will excite a sound!
The submarine's hull sonar is placed at the front and does not have the ability to detect sounds directly behind, which has just been discovered through the towed body array sonar in the tail.
What to do? Johnson gritted his teeth: "Forward three, full speed!" ā
Full! Following Johnson's order, the nuclear reactor began to operate at full power, and high-pressure steam was pressed into the tail steam turbine, which drove the tail propeller through the shaft and began to spin at high speed.
At this moment, the noise increased suddenly, and the torpedo, as if stimulated, switched from a search state to a full-speed attack state! This electrically driven torpedo, with its motor fully open, swam in the direction of this obvious target!
"Ten, nine, eight, seven...", the sonar man counted down, and when he counted to five, Johnson shouted: "Right full rudder, release the air curtain!" ā
Since it is impossible to deceive this torpedo, it can only be hard-hitting! Under water, the response of the rudder surface is related to the speed, the faster the speed, the more sensitive the response of the rudder surface, so when the torpedo is about to collide with his own side, Johnson ordered the right full rudder to turn, and at the same time release the air curtain interference, for the torpedo that needs to rely on sound to navigate, those tumbling bubbles are their biggest interference!
Now, whether it can attract the attention of other warships on the surface is already so much that it is too much to dodge this torpedo first!
The E53-72 torpedo failed, and just as it was about to hit its target, a wall of bubbles appeared in front of it, and when it passed through this wall, it had already passed by the turning submarine. And just going full speed has wasted a lot of its power, making it unable to travel any longer distances.
Having rushed out of the target a hundred meters, it detonated its own warhead.
"Boom!" This voice reached the submarine, and many sailors almost cheered and successfully dodged the torpedo!
"Pounce, pounce." Just then, the sonar heard two peculiar sounds.
"Report, two more torpedoes, pounced! Five nautical miles away! ā
Originally, the other three torpedoes had lost their targets and were wandering in the sea far from here, because they were not sailing at full speed, so there was still half of the charge left, but now, the Los Angeles class, which was sailing at full speed, transmitted the noise through the sea, so two of the torpedoes caught up!
"Damn it!" Johnson couldn't help but curse, the Soviets fired four missiles at once, this is simply madness! What to do?
"Dive, four hundred deep!" Johnson shouted, "Quick, dive urgently!" ā
In the water tank at the bow, the seawater at the tail began to be injected, and at the same time, the crew who had nothing to do ran towards the front cabin, and the rudder surface action of the elevator, all the operations, made the state of the submarine change rapidly, and the head leaned downward, quickly plunging towards the deep sea!
The maximum depth of this anti-submarine torpedo of the Soviets is 300 meters, and they are now at a depth of 200 meters, as long as they dive to a depth of 400 meters, these torpedoes will be helpless!
Relying on the depth to avoid the enemy's blows, this was originally a life-saving magic weapon for Soviet submarines, and now, it has been applied to American submarines, for the Los Angeles submarine, high-strength alloy steel is used, which can dive into the sea at a depth of 460 meters!
The submarine was like a big fish, swimming rapidly downward, getting deeper and deeper.
At three hundred and eighty meters, the attitude changes, and at four hundred meters, the submarine is leveled.
"The target sailed at a depth of three hundred meters and did not continue to dive." The sonar officer reported.
Damn torpedo, there's no way to do it, right? Johnson gave the sonar officer's order: "Continue to pay attention to the movement of the water. ā
After this toss, in terms of time, the Soviet carrier-based helicopter must have flown in, and in the next time, it is time for your own side to fight with the Soviet carrier-based helicopter!
Their carrier-based helicopters, carrying torpedoes of the same color, are unable to attack submarines at a depth of 400 meters, and for the time being, they are safe.
Johnson guessed right!
Just as the underwater submarine was spotted and the Dreadnought class began to carry out emergency anti-submarine operations at the same time, on the platform behind the Kiev, two Ka-27 carrier-based helicopters, had already taken off quickly!
If you take off from the Dreadnought, because the helicopter is now in the hangar, you need to push it out, and when you get to the take-off and landing platform, you need to extend the folding rotors, refuel, and a series of preparations before it can take off. And on the aircraft carrier, it is much more convenient, in the parking area behind the bridge of the aircraft carrier, two Ka-27 helicopters on standby, having completed all preparations, after receiving the order, pushed forward to the deck area, and they can take off!
According to the target position of the Dreadnought class transmitted from the data link, the two helicopters flew to the predetermined sea area, and then dropped buoys one by one.
It is very difficult to find underwater sounds if there is only one sonar, and if multiple sonar buoys are placed in each direction, so as to form an array, it is easier to determine the target orientation through geometric knowledge.
At this time, the two aircraft carriers had already taken off four MiG-23s each to carry out support operations on land, and after recovering from the tense atmosphere after takeoff, Admiral Durt's eyes were also focused on the current anti-submarine warfare.
"An American Los Angeles-class submarine has entered the distance of forty kilometers of our formation." Lieutenant Colonel Andreyev reported to General Durt.
Forty kilometers! If it's an American heavy torpedo, it's already within range! This is the challenge of the Americans! Since the Americans are not yet dead, then completely blow the confidence of the Americans!
War? Do the Americans dare to really go to war? They're just messing around like clowns now! Before the arrival of the aircraft carrier formation of the Americans, give the US Navy a little disadvantage!
"Encircle this submarine with all your might, either blow it up and sink it, or force it out of the sea!" Admiral Durt said loudly: "We, the Soviet Navy, are not at all afraid of threats from any quarters, whether in the air or under the water!" (To be continued.) )
