486. The battle between Iraq and Iraq

This kind of steel is used to make the flight deck of an aircraft carrier, and only steel of this strength can withstand the take-off and landing of carrier-based aircraft. At the same time, it is also an excellent choice for the manufacture of the hull of a nuclear submarine.

The yield of the French Triumph-class submarine is only about 550 megapascals, and it can dive to a depth of 500 meters, so the steel used for the deck of this aircraft carrier can be dived to a depth of 400 meters, which is a large margin, and if the limit is to dive to a depth of 6 or 700 meters, I am afraid it can reach six or seven hundred meters.

Extreme depth is a risky tactic that has to be adopted in order to confront the enemy's anti-submarine equipment during the battle, which was originally designed to dive to 200 meters, and can risk diving to 300 meters to invalidate the enemy's depth bomb.

Hearing the words of the Pakistani side, General Zhang's eyes suddenly lit up, in terms of nuclear submarines, it is not China that completely exports technology, and China also needs Pakistani technology!

In addition to the tail propeller, if the pressure hull of Huaxia's submarine is made of Pakistani steel, the diving depth of its own nuclear submarine can be greatly increased! This is too important for a submarine sailing in the ocean!

"We look forward to working with you to build a submarine with even better performance." General Zhang said.

"We're looking forward to it." With a smile on his face, Haziz and Stanim had already exchanged views, and after returning home, he reported to President Mhammad that the nuclear submarine would be developed on the basis of this nuclear submarine, and replaced with Western and self-developed electronic equipment, so that the performance of the submarine would be even better.

Now relying on the construction of the Supporter class in Karachi and the import of some sonar and other equipment, it is completely fine, at the same time. Claiming to be Pakistan's own technology to build nuclear submarines, Westerners can't say anything.

With nuclear submarines, this aircraft carrier formation will be even more complete, of course, until the full performance of this aircraft carrier is figured out. At the same time, Pakistan's own shipbuilding industry is more technologically advanced, so it can start construction on its own and build new aircraft carriers with a displacement of at least 60,000 tons, which is the most suitable.

The Pakistani navy continues to visit China, and the two sides are very friendly.

The situation in the South China Sea has gradually returned to calm, in order to better control the Spratly region. Huaxia announced the establishment of Hainan Province, and all the islands in the South China Sea were assigned to Hainan Province, and at the same time, the Hainan Special Economic Zone was established to administer all the South China Sea areas by administrative means.

The ancient East, a country that was once bullied by the outside world. Finally, with his own strength, he demonstrated his determination to defend his territory. It has attracted global attention. Soon, the attention of the global media shifted, after all, in this world, there are still many unstable factors.

Persian Gulf.

Because of Iran's export revolution and other reasons, the war between Iran and Iraq took place. It has been going on for eight years, and now both sides have lost a whole generation of young people, and each other's national strength has been greatly depleted.

And in order to maximize the impact on the other party's economy, driven by interests. The red-eyed Liang Yi aimed at the oil tanker sailing at sea.

Both Iraq and Iran are important oil exporters, and the oil of both sides occupies an important position in the national economy, in addition to hitting oil wells, there is also equipment to transport oil.

Iraq was the first to provoke, and Saddam Hussein was unruly.

As early as '83, Saddam Hussein publicly claimed that Iraq had five warplanes carrying Exocet missiles to attack oil tankers entering and leaving Iran. Iran immediately began to fight back: in the event of an attack on Iranian oil tankers or offshore oil facilities, Iran will immediately block the Strait of Hormuz! In 84, Saddam finally made a move, dispatching a French Super Hornet helicopter to attack 4 innocent civilian ships with AM39 Exocet missiles, sinking 3 and wounding 1. From then on, the two sides began to attack each other's oil tankers, and in 84 there were 69 merchant ships and oil tankers attacked, 53 in 85, 106 in 86, and 178 merchant ships and oil tankers attacked in 87.

Iraq's oil exports mainly rely on pipelines and are transported directly to the Mediterranean side, while Iran is located in the Persian Gulf and has geographical advantages. Although there are very few oil tankers in Iraq, the civilian ships of countries that support Iraq, such as Kuwait, are also the targets of their attacks, even neutral country tankers.

Now it is 88 years, only a few months before the end of the Iran-Iraq war, and the fighting on the ground is almost over, but the attacks from the sea have never stopped.

The sky is clear, and a super-large oil tanker flying the Chinese flag is sailing on the sea.

With a huge hull silhouette, a bulging belly, and a straight deck on top, anyone familiar with it will know that it is an oil tanker.

When oil became an important energy source, transporting oil became an indispensable way for countries lacking crude oil, on land, using oil pipelines, and at sea, it was only possible to use oil tankers.

In the past, in order to pass through the Suez Canal, oil tankers were restricted, but for a period of time, the Egyptians closed the Suez Canal, and most of the oil tankers had to go around, and the oil tankers at this time began to grow larger and larger.

The one in front of him is the largest of all the oil tankers, its full load displacement, almost one million tons, and it is also the world's longest ship and the longest artificially created surface floats, more than 1/4 mile long, longer than the Eiffel Tower lying down, and is a super-large crude oil carrier.

This ship, the Sea Giant, was built in December 76 at the Oihama Shipbuilding in Yokosuka City, the island country of Yumo Heavy Machinery Industry, and the order was a Greek shipping company, and three years later, the ship was not finished being built, and the brother went bankrupt, and the ship was also resold to the Hong Kong ship king Dong Haoyun. After that, the ship continued to be lengthened by several meters, increasing its displacement, and finally reaching 825466 tons! turned into the world's largest ship.

After its completion, the tanker began its trip to the Middle East, but now, the Iran-Iraq war is in full swing, and sea transportation has to be dangerous at all times.

The ship attack has been going on for several years, and the Sea Giant has experienced several dangers. On October 5 last year, an Iraqi Mirage F-1 dropped a bomb and damaged the plane, and two months later, on December 22, it was damaged by a Mirage F-1 with a bomb; Fortunately, this is a sturdy tanker, which has been repaired and continues to operate.

Now, the tanker, carrying a large amount of crude oil, is passing through the Strait of Hormuz, an area controlled by the Iranian navy, with a large number of Iranian missiles on the shore.

Iraqi warplanes generally fly in the Persian Gulf, sometimes even attacking Iranian ports, but now, this is almost the largest distance that Iraqi warplanes can travel, and they will generally not be attacked again.

They are not worried about Iran's attack, because their company has always loaded oil from Iran, so it is also the Iraqi plane that attacked them.

Now Iraq is already a madman, not only attacking Iranian oil tankers, but also other neutral countries, as long as they are transporting Iranian crude oil, they are within the scope of their attack.

There is not much wind and waves on the sea, the navigator stands on the bridge, the waterway here is complicated, only the middle passage can be passed, and it is too difficult to sail on this giant of his own.

Several sailors, standing on the deck, nervous for so long, could finally relax, almost all of them risked their lives, and although the pay was high, none of them wanted to do it.

A sailor looked at the white clouds in the blue sky when suddenly, he heard a familiar roar in the distance.

In the blue sky, a silver bright spot appeared.

"Attention, there are planes!" The sailor shouted.

As he spoke, he heard a more familiar voice, a shrill whistling sound from far and near! The other party actually dropped a bomb!

"Quick, left full rudder!" The captain shouted that the other party had dropped the bomb again, and the other party's bomb must be avoided!

It's not a speedboat, it's a slow tanker, it takes a long time to move your body, and now, the situation is very urgent, you have to dodge the bomb that was dropped.

(Later generations used false rumors that Iraq used Exocet missiles, as if this Exocet missile did not cost money, and used anti-ship missiles against enemy warships, against an oil tanker, can it be used so frustrated?) )

"Boom!" The target of the bomb was not high, and at a distance of several tens of meters from the tanker, it fell into the water and exploded into the waves, which were more than ten meters high.

The captain breathed a sigh of relief, but the navigator shouted, "Quick, slow down!" ”

There are already shoals ahead, this supertanker, the draft is very deep, it will definitely have to run aground!

"Quick, the main engine is at full speed, reverse!" The captain also gave orders.

"Squeak." There was a special sound from the bottom of the boat, and then, the front end of the entire hull suddenly tilted upward, revealing more than two meters below the waterline.

Worst! Stranded!

The Iraqi plane continued to fly, shaking its wings proudly, and you could see that there were still bombs at the lower end of the wings, but the other side did not throw them, and circled around before flying back.

Damn it! The sailors on the ship cursed, and they also knew that they had narrowly escaped death. It's just that this oil tanker stranded near Kak Island is the largest of the company, and now, it seems that it will not be able to be saved in a short time, and the company is afraid that it will be even worse.

The company relies mainly on the transportation of crude oil by sea as its main source of profits, and now the company has lost its largest oil tanker. The sailors on the ship, all of them were pale. (To be continued......)
