Chapter Eighty-Nine: The Anti-Submarine Ship Alert
Now, the Cold War has reached its climax. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 Although on the surface the United States and the Soviet Union were still amicable and even shook hands in space, the confrontation between the two sides has always been ongoing.
On the ocean, NATO has always deterred the Soviet Union by relying on its superiority in naval force, and the submarines of both sides are often engaged in silent contests underwater. The Soviet Navy's tactics were to rely on its own surface ship forces to disperse NATO submarines, and then go into the depths of the ocean to defend its submarines to launch ballistic missiles.
Therefore, the Soviet Navy should further enhance the ocean-going anti-submarine power to balance the opponent, and this large anti-submarine ship of the Type 1135 "Haiyan" class, known in the West as the "Krivac" class, has played a milestone role in the development of medium-sized ships of the Soviet Red Navy.
The warship is quite advanced, such as the power system, which uses the advanced M-7 All-Fuel Combined Power (COGAG), using two M-8K main gas turbines with a power of 18,000 hp each and two M-62 cruise gas turbines with a power of 6,000 hp each. Such a power configuration is the envy of the British, who are proud of their shipboard gas turbine technology. The total power of the whole ship reaches 48,000 horsepower, the maximum speed can reach 32 knots, and it can adapt to the requirements of anti-submarine or anti-aircraft maneuvers such as frequent switching formations or forward steering, and the performance is advanced, so that more than 40 ships of this warship series have been built in later generations.
The standard displacement is 2810 tons, and the full load displacement is 3200 tons, which is similar to the brigade class in Huaxia, and can also be called a destroyer.
At this time, this ship sailing in the Baltic Sea is the latest entry into service of the Haiyan-class large anti-submarine ship in the Baltic Fleet, the Alert. The warship was built in '73 and was only on duty for the first time on June 4, '74.
At this time, the warship was sailing in the Baltic Sea, it had left its home port and was about to cross half the world on a long journey to the Far East for a maritime exercise.
At this time, on the bridge, the captain of the Vigilance, Lieutenant Commander Portulone, was looking at the sea in the distance with a telescope, and in half a month, the sea here would freeze, and in another month, the port would be completely frozen. Due to the geographical location of the Soviet Union, there are not many good ports suitable for the navy!
This could not help but make Portuline think about the upcoming mission, for the officers and men of the Navy below, they all thought that this was an ordinary exercise, after all, at the height of the Cold War, the Soviet Navy also often conducted joint exercises, and the troops of the Far East sometimes went to the Moscow Military District to exercise. However, only people at the level of their captains know that this exercise is not necessarily a simple exercise, and there may be a follow-up battle plan, and everything will not be known until the Far Eastern Military District. Moreover, this warship of our own side is likely to belong to the Pacific Fleet of the Far Eastern Military District in the future.
"Knock knock." At this moment, a voice came from below, and a middle-aged man in a crisp navy uniform walked up the gangway.
"Saberlin, what's the matter?" Portuline asked the man who came in.
W.A. Saberlin, the vice-captain of the Vigilance, is also the second captain of the warship in charge of political work. (The Soviet army has been in force again since '42, with absolute power, and the Soviet army has created the post of political deputy commander, which is similar to our political commissar.) )
"Report to the captain, there's a leak in the bottom fuel tank!" Sablin said anxiously.
This is an ocean-going voyage, although out of the Baltic Sea, it will meet with more warships, and there will be supply ships to replenish in the middle, but after all, you still have to rely on your own warship during this voyage, due to the maintenance of the base in Riga, your own warship has fallen behind, and you must sail at high speed.
"Let's go, let's see." Lieutenant Colonel Portulene lowered his binoculars and followed Saberlin to the bottom of the cabin.
Only footsteps were heard, and several people walked in a hurry, as well as the first mate of the warship, who came down with them.
As a captain, familiarize yourself with every position of the warship as well as your own body. Although the warship had only been taken over by Portuline for two years, he was already fully familiar with it.
The fuel tanks of the warship are at the bottom, which can lower the center of gravity and increase the stability of the warship.
Two minutes later, came to the bottom of the cabin.
"Report, there's a serious leak here!" The sailor next to him, Shayin, also looked very anxious.
"Don't worry." Portuline said he didn't smell a lot of fuel, indicating that the leak wasn't serious.
Pushing open the hatch on this side, Portulone stepped in first, and then the first mate followed.
"Crunch." At this moment, suddenly, the hatch at the back was actually closed! Portuline's eyes were dark, and he didn't turn on the lights to prevent the spark from igniting the leaking fuel.
"Hello? What's going on? Portuline shouted, banging the hatch.
Outside, Sablin patted Shain on the shoulder: "Good, good job!" Schein, I'm going to gather all the people on the warship and announce our decision! I believe that justice is ours! We must ignite the glorious Leningrad and continue to burn the flames of the revolution! ”
Saberlin's face was filled with determination, and he had been preparing for this day for a long time!
As the person in charge of political and ideological work on the warship, Saberlin often gave political lessons to the sailors on the warship. In class, Sablin told his sailors how the workers, soldiers and peasants, under the leadership of the great Comrade Lenin, organized themselves to fight against the bureaucrats, capitalists and landlords and culminated in the October Revolution, which overthrew the Tsar. He focused on Leninist ideas on the democracy of the workers' and peasants' soviets.
The effect was immediate, and in the past, there were often wilting and dozing sailors in similar classes, but they showed great interest in Saberlin's teaching. The sailors liked Saberlin, believing that Sablin was very amicable among the officers.
No one knew that Saberlin's original political class was for this day!
The Soviet top has made a serious mistake, and now, it is time to correct this mistake! Saberlin is very convinced that as soon as he arrives in Leningrad and shouts from the heights, there will be a large number of ringers, and Saberlin himself will become a hero of the Soviet Union!
"Comrades, except for the officers on duty, please assemble on the foredeck at once." Soon, the voice of Deputy Captain Sablin came from the loudspeaker inside the warship.
