Pacific Ocean, ten nautical miles east of Vladivostok. Pen%Fun%Pavilion www.biquge.info{{}}/

A swarthy behemoth, like a ghost, with the head of the front end, piercing the tumbling waters, like a large shark.

On the bridge in the middle, a flag with a sickle and axe is still flying. The K-132 on the side has a few small white sè characters, which are almost invisible in the dark.

Forty-year-old captain, Admiral Yezhov above the bridge breathed in the cold sea breeze with satisfaction, and they were about to dive.

"Attention, boys, in two minutes, get ready to start diving." Colonel Yezhov said.

Hearing this order, the young Soviet submariner, began to prepare.

Before this mission, Yezhov once asked a fighter: "We are about to go on a combat readiness cruise, and it is possible that we will not be able to float for more than a month under the water, do you feel uncomfortable?" ”

"No, because, in addition to work, I can go to the gym to exercise, I can also go to the swimming room to swim, and our submarine, even if it doesn't float for three months, there is no problem!"

They are proud, because the submarine under their feet is the largest nuclear submarine in the Soviet Union except for the Typhoon class, the 949A class nuclear submarine, and the number given to it by NATO is called the Oscar 2 class nuclear submarine. {{}}

This nuclear submarine is a unique type of submarine of the Soviet Union. In Western countries, there are only two kinds of attack nuclear submarines and missile nuclear submarines, missile nuclear submarines carry long-range ballistic missiles, undertake the task of secondary counterattack after being attacked by nuclear weapons, and in order to protect missile nuclear submarines in the sea areas far away from their own side. It is necessary to use attack nuclear submarines to assume the task of underwater protection against enemy submarines.

The Soviet Union, on the other hand, did not have a strong aircraft carrier force, and used missiles as the main weapon to attack the opponent's warships, especially the opponent's aircraft carrier formation, and the Soviet Union developed multi-type supersonic anti-ship missiles and adopted the method of saturation attack. to strike at the opponent's aircraft carriers.

And carrying supersonic anti-ship missile carriers, in addition to warships, in addition to aircraft. There is another kind, which is a nuclear submarine!

With nuclear submarines, there are a lot of advantages. The biggest advantage is that the nuclear submarine sails underwater, is relatively hidden, will not reveal its whereabouts, and sails to the periphery of the opponent's circle of fire, for example, at a distance of 500 kilometers, it can send all the anti-ship missiles it carries, and after sending it, it can also take advantage of the cover of sea water to slip away. {{}}/ is a very huge tactical sudden xing.

So, among the submarines equipped by the USSR, there was a special cruise missile attack nuclear submarine, and the latest model of the development of this nuclear submarine was also the fourth generation of cruise missile attack nuclear submarines of the USSR. It is this 949A-class nuclear submarine at Yezhov's feet, which is the second nuclear submarine of this class, and the first is deployed in the Northern Fleet.

This nuclear submarine, with a total length of 150 meters and an underwater displacement of up to 18,000 tons, has a typical double-hull structure. All made of titanium alloy, which is expensive to build. Between the inner and outer shells, at a distance of four meters wide, 24 P-700 Granite anti-ship missiles, NATO code ...... The double hull is a common design for Soviet submarines, and the submarines of Western countries have a layer of steel plates on the outside and various equipment installed inside, so that there will be a disadvantage, when the shell hits something, causing the shell to break, then, the entire submarine will be in danger of sinking.

For Western countries, this is understandable, but for the Soviet Union, it is different, because most of the Soviet submarines are active in high latitudes, and when they float, it is possible that there is no seawater at all, but thick ice, and they need to use their shells to break the ice. {{}}

Therefore, the Soviet submarines, on the outside of the single hull, were covered with another shell, the outside was a non-pressure-resistant shell, filled with all kinds of equipment that did not need to be made by personnel, and after diving, between the inner shells, in addition to the equipment, was seawater. Another advantage of this is that it is highly resistant to blows.

When a torpedo is hit, it will cause damage to the non-pressurized hull outside, but if the power of the torpedo is not enough, it will not damage the internal pressurized hull, and the submarine can also carry out various normal activities, in particular, the Oscar 2 class nuclear submarine (or called Oscar Shunkou), the distance between the two layers has reached four meters, which means that the existing anti-submarine torpedoes in the United States are tickling for it.

However, as long as the Granite carried by the Oscar level 2 is hit, even if it is an aircraft carrier, it will definitely not be able to carry it. Moreover, 24 missiles, even if they are fired in two parts, will successfully break through the air defense circle of the American aircraft carrier and successfully take out the opponent.

Striking American aircraft carriers, this is the mission of Oscar 2!

In addition to anti-ship missiles, the Oscar-2 class has a variety of advanced torpedoes, which can cope with a burst even if it encounters an American Los Angeles-class attack nuclear submarine. {{}}

If we talk about the shortcomings of the double hull, I am afraid that it has caused the volume to become larger and the displacement to increase, and the Los Angeles-class nuclear submarine, the main force of the United States, has an underwater displacement of only 7,000 tons, less than half of the Oscar 2 class.

With a large displacement, you need a larger nuclear reactor, a larger steam turbine and a larger generator, a larger propeller, and with that comes a lot of noise.

The nuclear submarine is underwater and can become a hidden killer because it will not be seen, but the noise will reveal its identity.

Therefore, this is also a major aspect of the improvement of the Oscar class to the Oscar 2 level, all the vibration equipment, are installed on the shock absorption base, outside the hull, laid sound-absorbing tiles, the main source of noise, is the propeller.

Among all the noise sources of the submarine, the noise of the propeller is the largest, when the propeller stirs the seawater and provides power, it also stirs up a lot of noise, but if the propeller of a special shape is adopted, the flow of seawater can be completely coordinated with the rotation of the propeller to minimize the noise, and the propeller of this special shape is very troublesome to process, and the degree of jing is very high, which can only be done by multi-axis linkage large CNC machine tools. {{

And now, the great Soviet Union can finally process this large seven-bladed large side-rotating propeller, which is an order of magnitude lower than the original propeller, and even comparable to the Los Angeles class.

Last year, the Soviet Union began to retrofit new warships with such propellers to increase power and reduce noise.

After the submarine is equipped with troops, it is necessary to join the combat readiness duty, arrange the cruising mission, and now, finally, it is the turn of the K-132.

With the order of the captain, all the personnel began to prepare, the personnel on the bridge began to enter the interior of the submarine, and the last crew to go down, closed the hatch.

The whole submarine has become a world insulated from the outside world.

"Ballast water tank filling."

This huge submarine requires more than 100 officers and sailors to work on it, although it is because of the huge size of the ship, but it is also related to the backward cāo system, which has not achieved more automation.

As the valve was opened, seawater poured into the main ballast tanks in front and rear, and the huge hull, like a ghost, slowly sank into the dark water.

"Balance the hull and check the seals of each part."

As a submariner, the danger is very great, and even a small problem can lead to a catastrophic consequence.

Therefore, strict cāo work is necessary, and after the dive, it is necessary to check the condition of each part, especially for this submarine that is on a long voyage for the first time.

Having received a report that the parts were normal, Colonel Yezhov gave the second order: "Two cars, three forwards." ”

With his order, the two seven-bladed large side-rotating propellers weighing several tons in the tail began to stir the sea water at a faster speed, and the entire underwater monster began to accelerate forward.

Due to the design, the resistance of the submarine underwater is less than that of the water, and the propeller is more efficient underwater, so the underwater speed is higher than that on the water.

"The horizontal rudder leans forward 30 degrees and dives to a depth of 30 meters." Commanding this Oscar submarine, Yezhov was calm, and they hoped to gain something from this voyage.

Western pacific.

As the sun shone hotly on the waters of northeastern Philippines, an aircraft carrier battle group centered on a large aircraft carrier and surrounded by several destroyers and cruisers was undergoing a routine training exercise.

This aircraft carrier is the Kitty Hawk.

Since the Kitty Hawk entered service in the sixties, it has also been a battle-tested aircraft carrier, almost fighting on the front lines of the Western Pacific, the Vietnam War, the Iranian hostage incident... The Ninth Carrier-based Air Wing on the aircraft carrier has already flown 180,000 hours and taken off and landed on the aircraft carrier more than 7,000 times.

Aircraft carriers are the maritime power that the United States is most proud of.

The temperature on the deck is very high, an F-14 fighter is already on the take-off line, the bullet shè hook in front of the fighter's nose wheel has been put down, and it is being connected to the bomb shè, the tension rod behind has been connected to the nose wheel, the tail deflector has been folded, and the bullet shè in a yellow sè uniform is ready.

After all the preparations are done, play the shè long lunge, put the right hand behind you and point the left hand forward.

Suddenly, the flames spit out by the engine in the tail of the F-14 turned into a bright face, and the steam bomb cylinder in the lower part, nearly a ton of freshwater steam, pushed the piston, producing an acceleration of four Gs.

Suddenly, the pilot felt his body, all clinging to the flight seat, the muscles of his face were pulled up, and in a huge push back feeling, the F-14 fighter left the deck.

The aircraft carrier itself does not have any attack capability, and the strength of the aircraft carrier lies in the carrier-based aircraft it carries.

Under the sea, two Los Angeles-class attack nuclear submarines searched about fifty nautical miles in front of the formation. They are tasked with underwater protection against encounters with enemy nuclear submarines. rq
