Lose someone!

Aircraft carriers have huge bodies, and the entire fleet is even more huge. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info However, what does this score compare to? Compared to fishing boats, of course, it is a giant, but compared to the ocean, it is too small.

Therefore, even the warships of the Soviet Navy, painted red on the deck, sailing on the ocean, are difficult to be visually detected, and human beings are always small compared to the earth.

Therefore, if the US Navy wants to track the Soviet Navy, it needs certain technology, for example, using satellites to continuously track the traces of the other side, and using the radar of carrier-based early warning aircraft to scan the sea area where the other side appears and determine the direction of the other side.

Satellite tracking is limited, the use of optical reconnaissance satellites, that must be used in the daytime, at the same time, it is also to predict the appearance of the other party in advance, specifically targeted search, if you don't know where the other party is, search the entire sea, it can definitely be called a needle in a haystack!

Originally, the aircraft carrier's early warning aircraft should have been dispatched when its own satellites could not illuminate, but yesterday, because the other side was carrying out replenishment, the speed was very slow, so in order to take care of the life of the carrier-based early warning aircraft, it did not immediately sort, and in general, after nightfall, the fleet's speed would slow down to avoid the danger of collision. Therefore, the US Navy also relaxed its vigilance, and it was not until the second half of the night that an E-2 early warning aircraft took off to carry out routine flights and at the same time locate the Soviet aircraft carrier.

Of course, there is another reason for this, the take-off and landing of carrier-based aircraft is originally a difficult project, and every take-off and landing is a test of life and death, and taking off and landing at night is even more difficult. Even the most well-trained carrier-based aircraft wing can guarantee 100 percent of the ability to take off at night, but at most, less than 60 percent of pilots can land at night.

Therefore, when the US Navy launched an attack in later generations, it always set off in the middle of the night, so that when it came back, the sky would be bright.

The pilots of the E-2 early warning aircraft, which has the ability to take off and land at night, have just completed their shifts during the day, and those on duty at night today just have the ability to take off at night and do not have the ability to land at night, so they were lined up in the second half of the night, and they were just routine flights.

As a result, the E-2 AWACS aircraft took off on the dark deck with the help of a light stick, climbed to six thousand meters, turned on the radar, scanned the sea surface, but was taken aback, the sea area that had predicted the aircraft carrier of the Soviets should appear was now nothing, empty!

The E-2 early warning plane flew for a week and searched all the 400 nautical miles of sea near its own side, but it was not found, so the first mate on duty could only call the captain up.

Lose someone! This is extremely humiliating, our own aircraft carrier formation has never lost with the navies of other countries on the ocean!

"What's going on?" Hurriedly washing his face and coming to the bridge, Harold asked the first mate.

Hearing the introduction, Harold's brows also furrowed, and he already had a vague premonition that the Soviets were playing a trick and teasing themselves!

In the afternoon, the Soviets made a resupply in preparation for their sea race! And when it got dark, the entire fleet of the Soviets, at maximum speed, left the original route and ran away!

Not counting the supply ships, just counting those warships, they can be driven up to 30 knots, from the time it gets dark, until now, nearly ten hours have passed, and the other side has run out of 300 nautical miles! If this is the distance, the sea area that you will be searching will increase exponentially, so to speak, you have almost lost the ability to search for the other side!

The AWACS aircraft cannot be too far away from the aircraft carrier, otherwise, it will also be in danger, and in addition to the AWACS aircraft, the radar of other fighters is too backward and cannot detect too far a distance.

"Notify the Pentagon, adjust the orbit of the satellite, and after dawn, let more satellites search this sea area." Harold said.

Now, what else can be done? The only way to do this is to let the satellite do a needle-in-a-haystack search, and this kind of search, even if it is destined to be ineffective, is the only way!

What a shame that I was actually slapped by the Soviets once!

"What about our submarines?" Harold continued.

During the Cold War, the confrontation between the United States and the Soviet Union at sea was more about submarines under the surface of the sea, and this departure, the USS America aircraft carrier formation brought out two Los Angeles-class submarines, one of which was guarding under its own aircraft carrier formation, while the other was close to the other side 100 nautical miles underwater, quietly tracking.

"Yesterday, just after you left, the USS Indianapolis reported that it made contact with a Soviet submarine and, in order to avoid an accident, disengaged." The first mate reported.

Due to the serious underwater collision accidents that have occurred in the past, the submarine forces of the US Navy are now more cautious and sometimes temporarily retreat to avoid a fierce underwater confrontation that will lead to another collision. After all, the submarines of the Soviets were double-hulled, and if they really collided, it was the submarines of the Americans who suffered, and those crazy Ivan did this more than once.

Obviously, the Soviets had long discovered the submarine they were accompanying and had not expelled it, and last night, before they played a conspiracy, they shielded their own eyes and ears and drove away their submarine!

Damn it! Looking at the chart, Harold's mind was thinking rapidly, where did the Soviets go? Their suspicious whereabouts this time are not to stir up the Falklands War with the British? Or were they just passing by, really going to the Indian Ocean naval base?

Time passed little by little, the sky slowly brightened, and the four AWACS planes on the USS America aircraft carrier all took off and flew in all directions, under the protection of Tomcat fighters, searching for a wider sea area.

At the same time, overhead, the reconnaissance satellite also opened its eyes wide, scanning the entire sea area.

It's a pity that the morning passed, and until noon, no trace of the naval formation of the Soviets was found, and from noon to afternoon, until dark, and still no trace was found!

The US Navy is crazy, it is impossible for them to scan the entire Atlantic, they have lost the whereabouts of the Soviet Navy! If it is during the war, it means that they will be attacked from unknown directions at any time!

However, at least it can be determined that within 500 nautical miles of our side, they are safe, and the British naval formation, which will no longer be harassed, will reach the vicinity of the Falklands safely! (To be continued.) )
