Chapter 499: Torpedo Launched!

readx;

The main weapon used by the original submarine is the torpedo, and Germany has always attached great importance to the development of underwater forces, and during World War II, it developed the world's first electric torpedo and the world's first acoustic self-guided torpedo, and after World War II, because Germany was a defeated country, it could no longer develop a thermal engine power torpedo, and could only develop this ordinary electric torpedo, which led to a gap between the SUTXING torpedo and large thermal torpedoes such as MK48 and "Sailfish" from the basic energy data 5 Original debut] However, The biggest advantage of this new type of torpedo, which was developed in 1980 for export, is that the noise is very low.

"The torpedo has been loaded." In the torpedo compartment in front, the sound of the sailor's report was heard.

The SUT torpedo is an electric mine developed by Germany after many years of research, with three-dimensional maneuverability, which can attack enemy surface ships and submarines. SUT torpedo has a diameter of 533 mm, a total length of 6.15 meters, a weight of 1414 kg, a maximum sailing depth of 400 meters, and a minimum sailing depth of 2 meters. The mass of the torpedo warhead is 260 kg, loaded with TR8870 high-energy explosives mixed with TNT and Hesokin, and one torpedo can sink a local ship of 3,000 tons.

Originally, this torpedo could have been provided by active sonar, but in this case, the active sonar needs to send shè sound waves to the target, which will make the other party perceive. So, Mustafa chose the old way: using an attack periscope, visually providing hair shè data!

"The target, starboard one degree, distance, seven nautical miles, ready to send shè. ≦≧”

It would be a bit outdated to have an advanced wire-guided torpedo in this way, but it was a means of making the incident an accident, otherwise they would have known it when they heard the hull being hit by the attacking sonar. It must have been their own torpedo.

"The data has been entered."

"Hair shè!"

Under the surface of the sea, which no one can see, the TR-1700 submarine has opened the hair cover of the bow. The water pressure balance system starts to work, so that the rear of the torpedo to be fired is the same as the outboard sea pressure, so that when the torpedo moves forward during the fire process, the sea water back pressure acting on the head of the mine is offset by the back pressure acting on the tail of the mine, and then, with a bang, the compressed air in the high-pressure air cylinder of the fire system enters the tail of the torpedo in the hair tube. The compressed air that entered the tail of the torpedo began to expand. Pushing the torpedo in front and the sea water near and around the minebody, the hair hose was extruded.

A torpedo, more than six meters long, began to drill out of the hair pipe. The tandem propellers in the tail section began to turn against each other, stirring the surrounding sea water, stuoping. Start moving towards your goal!

The torpedo is followed by a wire at the tail, and as the torpedo advances, the pay-off device is rapidly releasing a wire less than a millimeter in diameter, which connects the submarine and the torpedo, and can help the torpedo get closer to the target at any time. ≦≧

The McCain was still moving peacefully, and they were still less than a hundred nautical miles away from their destination. When you arrive tonight, you can unload the goods overnight, so that you are safe.

Green still doesn't take it lightly, he knows that the closer he is to the finish line, the more danger he is likely to become.

Afar. Central Arabian Sea.

An E-2C Hawkeye pre-aircraft hovered at a distance of 200 nautical miles from the front of the aircraft carrier formation, monitoring everything on the sea.

The radar crew looked at the dots of light on the screen, which were another cargo ship coming out of the Strait of Hormuz, under the protection of the peninsula's defense forces.

It seems that there is nothing to do with the Americans here, but. They are still not reconciled, they just stay in the Arabian Sea and do not leave.

Except for those signals. Coming out of the Gulf of Aden, there are also several cargo ships, one of which is heading towards the Gulf of Oman, which is the Americans' own cargo ship. ≦≧

Although sanctions have been imposed on Iran, those agricultural products are not covered.

He looked at those points of light, a little dazzled, the E-2 pre-jing machine was just a small pre-jing machine, there were only three of them, after more than three hours of work, he was already a little tired.

A few nautical miles away from the cargo ship, the small echo signal, which he had not paid attention to, was most likely just a small fishing boat.

He didn't know, it was the echo of the submarine's periscope. He missed an opportunity to protect America's own ships.

"Hawkeye Three, ready to return." In the headphones of the pilots in front, they received an order from the aircraft carrier, and they were running out of fuel.

"Yes, ready to return."

Underwater, the stu torpedo, is still sailing forward, and its speed at this time is the normal cruising speed, twenty knots!

When sailing to a distance of four nautical miles from the opposing side, the front of the torpedo began to work with its own passive acoustic self-guidance system.

It immediately found its target: the noisy cargo ship!

"The torpedo has found the target. ≦≧," said the torpedo crewman.

"Prepare to cut the wires."

The STU torpedo adopts a combination of line guidance and self-directed guidance, and when the distance is close, it can be guided by itself, and when the target is lost due to interference, it will be converted to a line guide.

But now, the other side is a cargo ship and does not have any ability to create interference at all, so as long as the torpedo finds its target on its own, there is almost no possibility of defeat.

Sure enough, after the STU torpedo found the target in a passive way, it immediately found that the target was too easy to identify, and then, according to its own program, it used its own active acoustic self-guidance method to target the target, and sent two sound wave pulses to determine the position.

These two pulsed sound waves are much smaller than the sound waves emitted by the submarine itself.

Therefore, the crew of the cargo ship McCain, although they heard two small sounds, did not react when the pulsed sound waves hit the hull of the ship.

At this time, the torpedo finally fully confirmed the target, and according to the program, the propellers behind began to accelerate and turn, accelerating to the ultimate speed: forty knots!

It's the final sprint!

"Boom!" A huge explosion caused all the personnel on board the McCain, including Captain Green, to be immediately shocked. ≦≧

Green's first reaction was that they had struck a thunderbolt!

Damn the Iranians, they really can't communicate, how can they lay mines in such a sea area!

Mines and torpedoes, both explode underwater, and for people with no military experience, it is simply impossible to distinguish between the two.

The only thing that made Green feel fortunate was that the explosion occurred at the back of the hull, far away from the front hold, otherwise, if it exploded in the middle or the front, the munitions carried in the ship might explode together, and in that case, the entire ship would probably disappear in a violent explosion at once.

Although Green swore by when he set out, he still needed to make a lot of determination if he took the lives of all the people on the ship in order to transport the munitions.

And now, it's time to make it critical.

The anti-sinking of merchant ships is far inferior to that of warships, and now a powerful torpedo exploded in the tail of the cargo ship, completely tearing the keel of the tail of the cargo ship McCain and affecting the engine room. If the explosion had occurred in the middle of the country, it would have been quite possible to blow the ship in two.

Several compartments at the bottom have begun to be flooded.

"Report to the captain, now the tail has been seriously flooded, and the ship will sink into the water at any moment." A crew member ran up and said.

What the? Isn't it just a mine? The captain looked back, only to see that the tail had begun to tilt, and his face changed, he didn't expect the boat to enter the water so quickly!

What to do?

"Drain the water immediately, and we must rescue this boat!" Green said.

He didn't notice that in the distance, the thing that had been exposed to the surface of the sea all along, had quietly retracted under the water.

After observing the effect of the attack with the periscope, Mustafa was very satisfied, the ship was hit in the tail, it was already rapidly tilting, I am afraid that it would soon sink into the water, they had successfully completed the task.

Well, the following is the need to hurry up!

You know, they attacked the cargo ship of the Americans, and if this matter spreads, I am afraid that the reputation of Iraq and Iran will be as stinky, and attacking civilian ships is an act that makes everyone in the world ashamed.

"Advance three, dive to a hundred meters, left rudder two, immediately out of the hair shè position." Mustafa said.

At the same time, another TR-1700 submarine, knowing that it had been attacked, also began to accelerate its disengagement.

The work of wiping the butt is left to someone else.

"Captain, the water is so bad that we simply can't do the job of rescuing the boat." A Jewish crew member shouted.

"Nonsense! Then give me the rescue! Green yelled.

"Captain, let's send out a distress signal!" Another crew member said.

At sea, in the event of a distress, as long as the SOS signal is simply issued, the nearest ship will come to the rescue, which is the unshirkable responsibility and obligation of sea navigation.

"No, we can't send a distress signal." Green immediately dismissed the idea. Because, the secrets of the ship must not be revealed.

"We can ask the U.S. Navy to come to the rescue." "Now they're only a few hundred nautical miles from here, and we can hold out until their helicopter arrives," said the first mate. ”

And what about the helicopter? They could have been rescued, but wouldn't the ship have to sink? The captain didn't think it was a good idea.

In fact, they knew in their hearts that the Mossad had received intelligence that the escort ships of the defense forces on the peninsula were only fifty nautical miles away from them, but they did not want the Arabs to interfere.

However, they do not want, it does not mean that the Arabs will not come, they have been ready for a long time! To be continued
