Chapter 889: One Ship Arrested

readx;

With the huge shaking of the hull, Johnson knew that he had not escaped the Soviet submarines, and that they had already collided together. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info{{}}[.]

In the collision with the Soviet submarines, it is only themselves who suffer, because the Soviet submarines operate in the Arctic region most of the time, and in order to ensure that they can break through the ice under the glacier, they are all double-hull structures, and they are built very strongly.

However, the Los Angeles class is only a single-hull structure, once the pressure hull is damaged and the hull is flooded, it is very likely that it will sleep underwater forever, and since they began to track Soviet submarines, in order not to expose their existence, they have not reported any of their actions to their superiors, that is, even if they are wrecked now, their superiors do not know where to save them.

They became the type of submarine wrecked in World War II and the specific location and cause of the wreck could not be determined, and could only be classified as missing.

In this case, the quality of the crew will play a big role.

"Check the damage to each cabin, and the whole boat is ready to surface urgently." Johnson said.

The Soviet submarine is a structure of small compartments, such as the Oscar 2-class nuclear submarine, the whole ship is divided into ten compartments, which can ensure that one compartment will not sink if the water enters the water, but the Los Angeles-class submarine is only divided into three compartments, which is conducive to arranging various equipment and saving volume, but under the huge impact, if there is a compartment into the water, then, the whole submarine, I am afraid that it will not have time to float, it will be pulled to the bottom of the sea by the turbulent inflow, which will be a terrible thing. {{}}

The crew carefully examined it, and as a result, they did not hear the terrible sound of high-pressure launching into the water. Now they are sixty meters deep, and the water pressure is equivalent to six atmospheres, and in this case, there is nothing to stop the rush of water.

Fortunately, there was no water, however, they continued to stay underwater. It's still very dangerous.

"Remove the seawater from the first ballast water tank and urgently float up." Johnson ordered. At this time, he could no longer care that the sea above his head was the Persian Gulf, not on the ocean.

Compared to the embarrassed Americans. Yezhov was still relatively free, and the impact just now caused the hull of the K-132 submarine to be violently impacted. However, in order to ensure that the ice broke out from under the huge ice, the hulls of all Soviet submarines were built very strongly, so the impact only caused partial damage, but for this huge submarine, there was no greater harm. {{}}

"Continue to dive at a speed of ten knots. We're slow out of here. Yezhov ordered.

The sonar room had already heard the unlucky submarine draining the sea water with compressed air, and they were indeed in a hurry, and it seemed that the impact was not light. As long as the K-132 can escape, it will never admit that it did it himself.

"Wow!" With the bow of the ** drilled out of the sea, a behemoth. Revealing his body from underwater.

"The hull of the lower part of our hull is so badly damaged that we can't be subjected to any more pressure, and there is a danger that can occur at any time." At this time, the crew who inspected the hull reported.

Fortunately, although this time the impact was so violent, HY-80 steel. This excellent shell material has withstood this test.

Overhead, an anti-submarine helicopter had already flown over, circling the Los Angeles-class submarine.

After receiving the news of the submarine, Abdul immediately ordered the helicopter to rush to this sea area, and the real anti-submarine operation was about to begin, but there was no anti-submarine operation yet, and the other party actually surfaced on its own. {{}}

According to international practice, for submarines of unknown nationality, when the other party is hiding underwater, they can resort to various means, but for submarines floating on the surface, it means that the other side has given up underwater resistance and only needs to send them out of their own territorial waters.

Therefore, the anti-submarine personnel on the helicopter, feeling that the sonar buoys they brought this time, did not come in handy.

"In the sky above us, two helicopters appeared, belonging to the Iraqi Navy." After ascending, a sailor who opened the hatch of the conning tower and went to observe it said.

Although Johnson is very calm on the surface, as the commander of more than 100 submariners on the submarine, he must show composure and self-confidence, no matter what the situation, but in his heart, in fact, he has begun to hesitate a little, this submarine that has been seriously damaged, can it be successfully driven back to the base?

As the 15th Submarine Detachment attached to the Seventh Fleet, the Los Angeles-class submarines in the western Pacific are all stationed on Guam, and they have to sail for more than 10 days from here. {{}}

The first thing I did after going up was to report what was happening here to the Seventh Fleet Command via satellite.

"Report, nuclear reactor failure." I have just finished reporting to the fleet command, and the focus is on reporting that the submarine tracked has excellent silent xing ability, which must be a newly developed submarine by the Soviet Union, and then reported the collision incident, the submarine has surfaced, and can still continue sailing, without damage, I hope that the US Navy will come to respond.

Just after the debriefing, Johnson received the worst news, the reactor had failed!

"Check if there is a leak." Johnson immediately ordered that the nuclear reactor, while providing almost unlimited endurance power, was also a Pandora's box, and if something happened that caused a nuclear leak, they would be in trouble.

Fortunately, the impact occurred in the middle, in the front of the submarine, are torpedo compartments, if there is a violent impact, it may lead to an explosion, and the rear of the submarine, is a nuclear reactor, if there is a violent impact that causes the nuclear reactor to break, it is a more dangerous situation, even if the submarine is exploded and sunk in front, it is just the submarine's own business, if there is a nuclear leak, it will threaten the ecological environment here, if the nuclear leakage causes pollution around, then, the consequences are more serious, because, It's a very busy oil shipping line, and if oil tankers stop sailing because of this, the price of oil will skyrocket around the world. Now the impact took place in the central district, the area where people live and move, and they were shaken to the ground, but fortunately not a single person was in danger of life.

But now, the nuclear reactor actually failed? For many years, the United States has been using pressurized water reactors, and has not developed perverted sodium reactors like the Soviet Union, not because the American technology cannot reach it, but because the United States is using the most mature technology, and has made a balance between advanced and mature water, for example, it has been improving the self-circulation capacity of pressurized water reactors, so that when the reactor has problems, it can use its own circulation capacity to take away excess heat, so that there will be no bad accident of core melting.

"There were no nuclear leaks." Personnel in the engine room behind the wheel said: "Some sensor failures caused the reactor to shut down in an emergency and it could not be restarted. ”

Why are the bad results of the impact only now being revealed? However, it is fortunate that it is now shown that if the reactor is stopped under water, it will be even more troublesome.

But now, the reactors are shut down, which means that they have lost power! In fact, as the power of the nuclear submarine, as long as the nuclear reactor is installed on the submarine, it will almost not be stopped, and this emergency response will only occur if it encounters extremely special circumstances, for example, this impact caused the reactor to be abnormal.

"Reports, meteorological data, in eight hours, a storm will appear in the northern Indian Ocean, which could reach the Arabian Sea region." Just then, another piece of news came.

They have no power, and, even if they have power, after going out, they will face storms, if in normal times, submarines will not be afraid of storms on the sea at all, because the storms are all on the water, more than fifty meters, there will be no wind and waves, except for undercurrents.

But now, they don't have that ability.

At this moment, on the sea in the distance, two Iraqi frigates had already rushed over, using light language to indicate that this is Iraq's territorial waters, please leave immediately!

……

The collision only caused damage to the enclosure, and knowing that the American submarine had been forced to surface, Yezhov was very satisfied.

He did not know that in his tail, an Iraqi submarine, was already following.

"Forward four, left rudder one," Mustafa said from the conning tower, "received news of another submarine?" ”

"Yes, they have rushed to the predetermined sea area and are ready to intercept." Said the co-captain.

At the time of the collision, Mustafa's submarine did not collide with the two unlucky guys in front because it was behind and stopped in time, and now, finding the submarine and trying to escape, he immediately commanded the submarine and followed.

After the collision, it is not known whether the other party was injured or not, in short, the speed slowed down and sailed at a speed of ten knots, so that his submarine could easily catch up, but, because of the full-speed pursuit just now, nearly half of the electricity was consumed, and now, at a speed of ten knots, at most, chased out of the Strait of Hormuz, they had to surface to recharge.

It is hoped that another submarine will be able to pick up the class.

Ismail lamented that he had lost this opportunity, and his submarine sonar men also heard the loud noise made from the underwater, but unfortunately, they were thirty nautical miles away at this time.

In order not to expose themselves, they moved towards their intended target at a speed of eight knots, and at the same time, using their sonar, they kept searching for the target.

K-132 did not know that due to the damage to the enclosure, the noise during the voyage became significantly louder. Moreover, behind it, there is actually a submarine.

Two conventional submarines, in the Persian Gulf, began the battle of "encirclement and annihilation" of a large nuclear submarine, and their advantage is that they are familiar with every water area here.
