Chapter 460: Self-Guided Torpedo

The Soviets were so generous that they actually launched four SS-N-14 missiles at once against themselves! In this instant, Johnson knew how much danger he was facing!

This kind of torpedo that flew a distance of dozens of kilometers and came to attack its own side should be E53-72, this anti-submarine torpedo is a new type of universal anti-submarine torpedo developed by the Soviet Union after World War II, and it was developed on the basis of the first light universal anti-submarine torpedo SET-40 and its improved E40-75A developed in the 60s, the versatility is very good, and it can be equipped with fixed-wing anti-submarine aircraft, anti-submarine helicopters, surface ships and submarines.

This torpedo adopts a self-guided method, and the maximum distance of the target intercepted by the acoustic self-guidance system at the head is 580m, after all, it is not as long as the distance that the wire-guided torpedo can intercept with the large sonar of the hull. However, this torpedo is like a mad dog, constantly cruising back and forth in the area set by the system until it finds a target, or until it runs out of fuel or electricity and explodes!

Moreover, the development of electronic technology in the USSR in recent years has been very advanced, and God knows how sensitive the seeker of this torpedo is!

"The whole ship is silent, five knots of low speed, one on the left side, continue sailing!"

As soon as it is discovered by the Soviets, it should encounter the crazy anti-submarine attack of the Soviets, and those Soviet ships on the surface have at least thirty Ka-27 helicopters, and it is conceivable that with the first round of anti-submarine missile attacks, these helicopters will also take off from the deck of the warship and come together to strangle themselves.

At such a time, where can you run away? Once the carrier-based helicopter drops the sonar buoy, no matter how far away, it can find itself, unless it sinks on the bottom of the sea!

No, in front of the Soviets, it is not reliable to sit on the bottom of the sea, because all the warships of the Soviets have anti-submarine rockets, and once the anti-submarine rockets of the Soviets are launched, it is like a carpet, and when they plow this sea area all over again, their own submarines will definitely not be safe!

After World War II, the U.S. Navy eliminated multi-barreled anti-submarine rockets and single-mindedly improved the performance of torpedoes, while the Soviets continued to play the doctrine of artillery, not only did not eliminate anti-submarine rockets, on the contrary, more and more such weapons were deployed, and the caliber was getting larger and larger!

Originally, the submarine relied on concealment to be able to maneuver with surface ships underwater, but just now, Johnson's carelessness allowed his submarine to be discovered.

Actually, it's not entirely careless, if the Soviets don't let the Soviets know that there are American submarines underwater, how can they continue to fly fighter planes in a big way, instead of turning to slow anti-submarine warfare?

This is playing with fire, this is a hide-and-seek battle that makes every submariner excited!

In this case, Johnson did not give the order to retreat, but let his own submarines continue to advance! There is only one way out, and that is to get inside the Soviets' ship formations!

Wait until tomorrow, when your own aircraft carrier formation arrives, you will appear next to the Soviet aircraft carrier, scare the Soviets, and then leave arrogantly!

The unwritten rule of warfare at sea is that as long as the submarine surfaces, it is not hostile, the submarine is underwater, and the ships on the water can toss as much as they want, even if the submarine is sunk, there is nothing to say, just like a thief who enters the burglary is killed. And if the submarine surfaces and then attacks the submarine, it will be an act of challenging the bottom line, and when the time comes, the US aircraft carrier formation and carrier-based aircraft will be dispatched, and the entire aircraft carrier formation of the Soviet Union can be killed!

In terms of combat effectiveness, the formation of one aircraft carrier of the United States is enough to challenge the entire family base of the current Soviets!

"The torpedo in front of you has swam back again!" At this time, the atmosphere inside the submarine was highly tense, and the sonar crew was constantly listening to the underwater sound, and the four torpedoes were sailing in the direction of the outside, so that the head of the other side was deviating from their own side, and they could not hear their own sound at all, and the noise of their own side was also quite low at a very low speed of five knots.

And the torpedo in front, after sailing for a while, turned back again, and this time, the opponent's first sonar was facing him!

"Propeller stops, drift sailing!" Johnson gave the next order.

Although he believes in the quietness of his submarine, in order to avoid accidents, it is better to do it in the safest way!

With Johnson's order, the officers and men in the wheel nacelle, turned the switch, turning off the driving turbine in the tail section.

The propeller in the tail slowly stopped rotating, and the entire 7,000-ton submarine, under the huge inertia, was still slowly moving forward.

In the submarine, every crew member stopped moving, lest such a sound would attract the attention of that torpedo.

In the movie of the submarine warfare of World War II, the sonar soldier of the submarine was even filmed, and the sound of the other boatman's coins dropping was heard, and he could even hear which side was facing up, which was actually an extremely exaggerated shooting, but the unnecessary noise still could not be made, for the sake of his own life.

Only sonar soldiers were still listening carefully to the sound of the torpedo.

"Two hundred meters, one hundred meters, fifty meters..."

A light torpedo will not completely sink the Los Angeles class, as long as it does not hit the key parts and several compartments are flooded, it can still continue to float. And this last few tens of meters is a test of life and death!

"Zero meters!" The sonar's voice was soft, but everyone could hear it clearly, there was no sound of impact, it seemed that he had dodged!

"Start the propellers, three knots." Johnson said.

Due to the drag in the water, after the turbines are turned off and the propellers are stopped, the submarine will slowly stop moving, in which case it is the quietest, if nothing else, then continue to remain in this state, waiting for the few torpedoes in mad dog mode to run out of fuel or electricity is the most suitable option.

But not now, because, having discovered this submarine, the helicopters of surface ships will definitely arrive quickly! The farther the helicopter must be gone before the helicopter arrives!

The 7-blade large side-inclined propeller in the tail continues to rotate, stirring the sea water and making a gentle rattling sound.

The submarine is slowly starting to accelerate!

"Accelerate to five knots." Johnson continued. It's been a minute now, and that torpedo is starting to go away, right?

"Damn, that torpedo, it's turned around again!" Just after accelerating to the fifth section, the sonar officer heard a special sound, which made him can't help but be surprised, the torpedo, again!

What is this procedure? (To be continued.) )
