Chapter 808: Underwater Confrontation
The eyes of the whole world have once again focused on the Indian Ocean, when the American Aegis warship was attacked underwater and almost sunk, the whole world was looking at the United States, the powerful United States, the world's sea power is inviolable, facing a new challenge, what should they do?
Everyone can imagine that it is likely that Pakistan and the United States have had an unpleasant situation, because just when the Americans sent a large number of warships and anti-submarine aircraft to search for submarines in the Indian Ocean, Pakistan's navy was dispatched.
The two aircraft carriers formed a huge fleet, sailed away from the dock and sailed into the deep sea, and their target was the sea area where the United States was launching an anti-submarine war!
On the blue sea, the confrontation between the two navies is close at hand!
At this time, the underwater world is still silent.
In the 200-meter-deep water, the supporter-class submarine is sailing in absolute silence.
When the submarine-launched missile was launched, the submarine had already exposed its target, so the captain Thors ordered a high-speed voyage out of the sea area at that time, although the American anti-submarine planes also arrived soon and were busy rescuing the hit warship, relying on this gap, the supporter-class submarine moved quickly to the northeast.
Continuing northeast, you'll reach the Maldives, an island nation in the Indian Ocean made up of more than 1,200 small coral islands, 202 of which are inhabited, making it the largest coral island nation in the world. A bird's-eye view from the air resembles a string of pearls scattered across the Indian Ocean. It is a beautiful place to visit, and it is a famous tourist attraction in later generations.
Now, the underwater composition of these islands and reefs is very complex, as long as they enter the Maldives, they will no longer be detected by American warships and anti-submarine aircraft, and escape with the help of complex sea areas is the most suitable choice for a conventionally powered submarine.
So. Tรณrce's plan was to enter the reefs, but he didn't succeed.
Just after the sonar crew reported that he heard a sonar buoy drop in the distance, Toors knew. It was the American P-3C plane that began to encircle and suppress him, this special anti-submarine aircraft, with advanced performance, and can also drop torpedoes by air, and damaged the American warship by itself, and the Americans must have sunk themselves in retaliation.
Just after the sonarman reported, Tors ordered the submarine to turn off the motors, and as a conventional diesel-electric submarine, there are two ways to dive underwater. In the snorkel state, the submarine diesel engine can be used to provide power and charge the battery at the same time, while below the depth of the snorkel, only precious electricity can be relied on.
When I was retreating, I was sailing directly with the power of the battery at a depth of 100 meters, after all, I had just done a big thing and sailed in the state of a snorkel. It is easy to be detected by the aircraft's maritime search radar, and it will be difficult to escape when the time comes.
The power consumption of the battery. It has a lot to do with the way it is used, if it travels at a speed of 3 knots, it can travel nearly 300 nautical miles, and if it travels at a maximum underwater speed of 20 knots, it can travel for a maximum of an hour, which is a distance of 20 nautical miles. The battery is gone.
This is the disadvantage of conventional diesel-electric submarines, so now there are all kinds of AIP submarines, that is, they do not rely on air propulsion engines, which can allow submarines to have a longer underwater voyage time, and the ultimate royal road. It is still a nuclear submarine, and only a nuclear submarine can solve the problem of underwater power and achieve uninterrupted sailing, and the range depends only on the physical endurance of the crew.
At the time of the retreat, the submarine was traveling at a speed of ten knots, and even so, now the submarine's electricity is only half left, and with the surface surveillance, Tors can only order the submarine to sail at a low speed of three knots, and it has dived to a depth of 200 meters.
This is already the maximum depth of the Supporter-class submarine, which helps to conceal the sound signal of the submarine, and at a speed of three knots, the noise is already quite low, but now, almost all of it blends into the background sound of the sea, and it is no longer audible.
It's just that in this case, the submarine floats up again to charge, which is simply a delusion.
The submarine was subject to power control, and most of the power supply was interrupted, except for the necessary equipment, and the lights in the aisle were half off, and it was 200 meters deep in the water, and it was somewhat chilly.
The food is also cold, in this case, the heating device cannot be used in the restaurant on the submarine, and canned food, which is a delicious thing for people on the shore, is very uncomfortable for the crew of the submarine, it is this every day, it is too tired.
"Two cans per person, which must be eaten." Toors said. At this time, it is necessary for him, the captain, to give orders, and only in this way can the warriors maintain sufficient physical strength.
After saying that, Thors opened a can of canned fish, took a spoon, and ate it in a big gulp, and then, without frowning, chewed and swallowed it in his stomach.
Thors's emotions were contagious to everyone, and they all gulped down.
After touring the various cabins, Tors returned to the conning tower, and there was a smell of chemicals in the air, which was a means of oxygen production for the submarine underwater.
For nuclear submarines, there is sufficient electricity, and oxygen can be obtained directly through electrolysis of water, while conventional power submarines can only use chemical agents to turn carbon dioxide back into oxygen for submarines.
This state can only be changed when the sangular tube is in state, but now, this state is definitely a luxury.
"Captain, we're in a bad situation." The co-captain said to Thors.
"Yes, we don't have much power stored now, but we can't float up to recharge." "And, now we've lost contact with our superiors," Tolls said. โ
The scheduled contact time has long passed, the supporter-class submarine seems to be missing, and Thors is of course very eager to contact his superiors as soon as possible, but now he has nothing to do. No matter what method is used, as long as you contact your superiors, it will definitely attract the attack of the Americans, and your own rescue force has not yet arrived, and everyone on your submarine will be buried in the belly of the fish.
Similarly, the submarine also had no access to outside information about what it would do if the Karachi base in the rear realized that it had not been contacted on time.
In short, no matter what the final result is, Tors will not regret it, but his own submarine only carried one submarine-launched missile, and if there were two at that time, it would definitely be able to sink the opponent's warship!
"I am sure that the superiors will not abandon us, and based on the actions of the Americans on the sea, they will know that we are in trouble, and maybe our reinforcements are on the way." "No matter what the time or the odds are, we can't give up hope," Toors said. โ
Submariners, who deal with loneliness and loneliness all year round, must have a strong will to persevere.
"If our reinforcements are coming, there will definitely be a more serious conflict with the Americans." Said the co-captain.
Torrs also knew that when the time came it would be a big battle on the sea, would President Mhammad make up his mind? Or will they choose to abandon their own boat?
No! The president will never give up on his side, and there is no compromise in President Hammad's dictionary!
"Report, suspicious signal detected, behind us." Just then, the sonar man said.
As a new type of submarine, the Supporter class is very powerful, in addition to the conventional bow sonar, it also arranges sonar arrays on the side side, and also has towed body sonar, so the position of the tail is no longer a blind spot, and there is no need to do the terrible crazy Ivan maneuver to find out if the tail is following the enemy's submarine.
"Forward three, left full rudder." Tolls said that although the sonar crew could hear movement in the tail, in order to determine the specific model, they still needed to turn and use the sonar array on the side to face the other party.
The rudder surface of the aft cross rudder began to move, and the five-bladed propeller accelerated, and after the hull came to the side, the sonar listened carefully, and then his face changed.
"Los Angeles-class submarines! Fifteen nautical miles away! โ
Los Angeles-class submarines! This is the main nuclear-powered attack submarine of the United States, with strong combat power and mature technology.
Being tracked by such a submarine is definitely not a good thing! Tols's brow furrowed.
"Bang." At this moment, a softer sound was heard in the sonar's ears, and then, the sound of the sea churning, damn it, the other side fired a torpedo!
"The other side has already fired a torpedo!" The sonar shouted loudly.
Under the water, it was discovered by the other party, and a torpedo was fired, which was quite dangerous, and Tors still calmly gave the order: "Left full rudder, advance four, prepare to release air curtain interference, all personnel are ready to accept the impact, and the damage control personnel are in place!" โ
At this time, it is very dangerous to hand over the butt to the other party, or to aim the side at the other party, and the only way is to go up with the torpedo shot by the other party!
Later, the Los Angeles submarine was also fighting intensely, and it was a fluke that they found the unknown submarine underwater, and it was a fluke, the captain of the nuclear submarine, Locke, did not search for the sea area where the target retreated north like others, he used his submariner thinking, and if the other party wanted to get out of trouble, it was best to sneak away in the complex waters here in the Maldives.
So, they came to the outskirts of the Maldives, waited for the rabbits, and as a result, they really found a target underwater.
The humiliation of the bombing of the warship made the Americans angry, and after discovering the suspected target, the Americans directly fired the MK48 torpedo. (To be continued.) )
