The nuclear submarine encountered by the Margaret is the latest nuclear-powered attack submarine of the Chinese Navy to enter service - "Chunjun", "Chunjun" is the name of the famous sword in the Spring and Autumn Period of China, this sword is said to be cast by the sword master Ou Yezi, cut gold and jade, sharpen iron like clay, in China's "Anthology", "Huainanzi" and other ancient books are mentioned.

Nuclear-powered submarines can be divided into two categories, one is a nuclear-powered attack submarine like the Mingjian-class, and the other is a strategic missile nuclear submarine, the nuclear-powered attack submarine is mainly equipped with heavy torpedoes, submarine-launched missiles, cruise missiles and other sea-to-ground attack weapons, and the strategic nuclear submarine is mainly equipped with submarine-launched ballistic missiles.

In Lin Yuan's era, nuclear submarines, especially those equipped with submarine-launched ballistic missiles, were an important part of a country's strategic nuclear strike force, and belonged to the important weapons of the country that could not be taken lightly.

The attack power of nuclear-powered attack submarines is extremely strong, so Lin Yuan thought of all kinds of famous swords in ancient China, and according to Lin Yuan's weapon naming principle of "promoting traditional Chinese culture", these nuclear attack submarines were named "famous sword class", and this time they went on the expedition with the aircraft carrier fleet.

Since the British army did not have submarines in India, the Chunjun boat had been in an unrivaled state, so Lin Yuan sent the Chunjun boat to the vicinity of the port in Mumbai, waiting for an opportunity to strike at the port, and now it finally came in handy.

The captain of the Chunjun boat is named "Xie Tao", and he is the submarine liaison officer on the Beijing ship, because there are nuclear submarines in the Beijing submarine formation, and for the coordination of the nuclear submarine and other ships, the nuclear submarine formation sent a team of officers who are proficient in nuclear submarine operations to serve as liaison officers on the Beijing ship, and after the nuclear submarine entered service, these liaison officers became the commander of the nuclear submarine.

Xie Tao is in his forties this year, his figure is slightly fat, and the top of his head is also a little bald, but his eyes are shining with a sharp light, as if his gaze can penetrate the thick sea water and directly see the enemy in the sea water.

Xie Tao gave the order to increase the power of the reactor, and the reactor operator immediately carried out the operation, which accelerated the nuclear reaction, and the speed of the nuclear submarine quickly increased, rushing towards the Margaret.

At this time, the nuclear submarine is in a state of sea navigation, the opponent is a civilian ship after all, there is no need for the nuclear submarine to launch an attack in the submersible state, Xie Tao held the periscope handle in his hand, looking at the Margaret, although the nuclear submarine has powerful underwater acoustic detection equipment, but Xie Tao still prefers the feeling of looking at the opponent.

Xie Tao picked up the ship's communicator, adjusted it to the channel of the communication chief, and said: "Send a message to the large cruise ship, give them ten minutes, turn the bow of the ship and return, otherwise our boat will sink it!" ”

The chief of communications loudly agreed, adjusted the communication frequency to the common frequency of international maritime communications, and sent the news, and Captain Royce did not panic when he received the news, because he did not believe that a submarine could catch up with him, and he was still ordering the Margaret to speed up.

Ten minutes passed, and the Margaret not only did not mean to turn the bow of the ship, but got faster and faster, and the sonar chief on the Chunjun boat sent a message to Xie Tao: "Report to the captain, the Margaret has increased the speed of the ship, and it is now close to 20 knots. ”

Xie Tao smiled helplessly, picked up the communicator and adjusted it to the frequency band of the torpedo compartment, and said loudly: "Launch a 'Yu-2' torpedo to strike at the Margaret." ”

The torpedo chief replied in a loud voice: "The torpedo compartment understands!" ”

The torpedo chief received the order, and the torpedo compartment immediately got busy, the sonar room sent the sound characteristics of the Margaret, and the operators entered the sound characteristics into the torpedo, the Yu-2 torpedo is an acoustic self-guided torpedo, which can automatically search for the sound waves emitted by the target after being launched, and then hit the target.

While inputting the sound characteristics of the target, the operators opened various valves outside the torpedo tube, filled the high-pressure water vapor into the launch tube, and when it was ready, the torpedo chief reported to Xie Tao: "Report to the captain, a Yu-2 torpedo, ready, whether to launch?" Please instruct. ”

Xie Tao said in a deep voice: "Launch!" ”

The torpedo chief repeated Xie Tao's order in a loud voice: "Fire!" ”

The operator pressed the trigger wrench, a canister closed plate located in the bow of the pure Jun boat, a torpedo left the hull under the impetus of high-pressure water vapor, and at the same time, the hull trim system was immediately activated, injecting a certain amount of seawater into the bow, the Yu-2 torpedo was a 550 mm caliber heavy torpedo, weighing up to 2000 kg, the bow suddenly reduced so much weight, without the trim system, the hull would lose stability under the action of unbalanced moment.

At the same time as the hull of the boat was stabilized, the fired Yu-2 torpedo was downstream to the Margaret under the control of the propulsion motor, and the sound guide head was quickly activated, the Margaret was a large ship equipped with four propellers, and it was moving at high speed, so the sound was very loud, and the torpedo locked onto the target without much effort.

The high-speed propelled torpedo approached the starboard side of the Margaret, and the seeker immediately issued a detonation command, and the 300 kg of explosives loaded with the warhead immediately detonated!

At the moment of detonation, Xie Tao saw a water curtain dozens of meters high rising from the bottom of the ship, although the Margaret was a large ship with a displacement of up to 50,000 tons, it still shook violently, as if a big hand on the bottom of the sea pushed it hard, when the water curtain fell, I saw that the starboard side of the Margaret was blown out of a huge gap, and the steel plate that was twisted by the explosion was exposed in the gap, and the messy debris drifted out of the gap.

A large amount of seawater poured into the hull, the hull tilted to the right at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the people and goods on the hull fell into the water like dumplings, and the explosion of the original Yu-2 torpedo was too powerful, and half of the watertight compartment on the starboard side of the Margaret was destroyed, and the Margaret continued to tilt to the right.

On the Margaret, Captain Royce picked up the communicator and shouted: "Abandon ship, all personnel immediately abandon ship, put down the lifeboat, put down the liferaft." ”

With the order of Captain Royce, the Englishmen in the cabin ran out one after another, and by this time they had no regard for decency, let alone gentlemanly manners, and everyone tried to escape to the dinghy or the life raft, and the women and children were squeezed to the end.

But the Margaret sank faster than anyone could have imagined, and before the dinghy and the life raft could be put into the water, the hull sank, and the huge whirlpool was like an incomparably huge monster, and those who did not have time to escape were swallowed into it.
