Like other weapons in the United States, the United States does not develop a variety of complex models to deal with threats, and the torpedoes equipped by the U.S. Navy are mainly one, and this MK48 torpedo has greatly improved the performance of the torpedo through continuous improvement of software.

This torpedo is 5.85 meters long, 533 mm in diameter and has a speed of 55 knots. Like other torpedoes, it uses a thermodynamic swash plate machine, uses Otto 2 fuel, has a system power of 500 horsepower, and has the characteristics of high energy density, low noise, and no wake. The torpedo warhead is a blasting warhead with a charge of 100-150 kg, which can sink a large submarine or medium surface ship with a single mine hit.

As the torpedo sails forward, the line dragged by the tail is constantly being released, which is a wire-guided torpedo, and it is also the most common way of torpedoes, the wire can transmit the target data obtained by the submarine in the rear, and the attack is sharper!

At this time, the deadly torpedo was rapidly sailing towards the opposite target, and the propeller in the tail rotated, stirring up countless cavitations.

Torles gritted his teeth and listened to the sonar's report, one kilometer, eight hundred meters, five hundred meters, three hundred meters, that torpedo, getting closer and closer to his side!

"Turn off the engine, raise the tail rudder, continue to dive, and the personnel are all gathered in the front compartment! Unleash the air curtain interference! Thors shouted.

At this time, he was already sailing at a design depth of 200 meters, and in order to get rid of the other party, Thors had to continue diving!

With his command, the tail propeller stopped turning, and the tail rudder action, prying the bow of the submarine to sink, while more submariners ran to the front, causing the bow to go down more quickly, and the huge submarine began to continue diving.

Meantime. On the side of the submarine, dense bubbles erupted from countless thin tubes, and these bubbles, on the side of the hull, formed a tight air curtain. This air curtain will block the transmission of sound and confuse the opponent's sonar, just like the meaning of a fighter jet firing a heat flare.

When the engine is turned off and the tail propeller stalls, the biggest source of noise is lost at the same time.

There was a brief confusion in the control system of the digital circuit, and the loss of target made the torpedo confused, following a pre-set procedure. It is still 300 meters away from the target, and at such a short distance, the ability to maneuver underwater targets is quite limited, so it chose to continue sailing in a straight line!

After passing through the air curtain wall, the noise behind it completely disappeared, and the torpedo chose to self-detonate after continuing to sail for fifty meters.

Attack failed!

"What's going on?" Captain Locke asked. He was very confident in the MK48 torpedo. But the attack failed.

"The target radiated an air curtain wall, blocking the signal. When the signal is gone, our sonar loses its purpose. The sonar officer reported.

How is that possible! The distance is only a few hundred meters, and the effect of sonar in this case is quite good, and the sound signal will be lost? Then there is only one possibility, the other party turns off the engine and there is no sound!

Think you can make no way for yourself? Captain Locke couldn't help but sneer, "We're in this sea. Conduct a dragnet search. Release the signal buoy and call for backup. ”

If the engine is turned off, it can temporarily disappear in the sonar, but at the same time, the opponent will lose the ability to maneuver. This Los Angeles-class submarine can search out the other party.

Moreover, the other side is just a submarine, but it still has surface ships and anti-submarine aircraft, and the other side will definitely not be able to escape! If the other party does not maneuver all the time, the final result will be to exhaust all the electrical energy, and then they will not be able to move if they want to.

The other party is a diesel-electric submarine, which Captain Locke is completely able to determine.

Although they can't float to communicate for the time being, the submarine has another way to communicate, using a disposable communication buoy, which is released, and the buoy will float all the way to the surface and send a message.

Having already dived to two hundred and thirty meters underwater, every ten meters of descent, the pressure of one atmosphere increases, and at this time, the design depth of the submarine has been exceeded, and Thors is still holding on.

During World War II, submarines at that time were designed to dive to a depth of more than 100 meters, and sometimes in order to avoid attacks, they would even hide to a depth of 300 meters underwater, far exceeding the design depth of submarines.

And now, my submarine has no problem at the limit, even if it dives to a depth of three hundred meters, and the situation has been reported in various compartments, and the submarine is currently in good condition.

The only problem is that after a maneuver just now, the electricity consumption is another 5 percent, and at this time, as long as you make any noise, you will be discovered by the other side and attract an attack, and the other side will definitely call a large number of surface ships and planes to come, and it will be more difficult for your side to escape at that time.

What to do? Tors was thinking that as the captain of the boat, he must be responsible for the lives of more than 60 people on the boat, and he must also fight for the honor of the Pakistan Navy!

"The American submarines are searching for us, but at a depth of 200 meters, and they will not find us for the time being." The sonar soldier continued to report.

The difference in depth determines that the Americans are doing useless work for the time being, but as long as the Americans find that they are in the wrong direction, they will definitely change the depth, and when the time comes, they may meet in a narrow way.

If you want to retreat, you must first get rid of this submarine of the Americans! The only way is to injure or even destroy the opponent! In Toles's heart, he suddenly had an idea.

"Start the motor, full power, right full rudder, sail in the eastern direction!" Toles said: "Recover to a depth of 200 meters!" ”

Full power, this is simply going to attract the other party's blow! The co-captain twitched his facial muscles on the side, but still did not speak.

At this time, the American submarine had just searched far away, and the other side was searching back and forth at a distance of ten nautical miles, and now it was just the farthest point. As soon as your engine starts, the opponent will chase you!

As the motor starts, the propeller begins to rotate rapidly, and the propeller that rotates at high speed makes a sound of rushing water, passing through the seawater, and it is transmitted far away in an instant.

"Target found, ten nautical miles behind!" On the Los Angeles-class submarine, sonar soldiers reported excitedly.

"Left full rudder, chase over!" Locke shouted excitedly.

Sure enough, the other party still couldn't hold his breath and wanted to get out at high speed? No kidding! The maximum speed of a diesel-electric submarine is only twenty knots underwater, while an attack nuclear submarine can easily go up to thirty knots, and if the other party wants to escape at this time, it is simply a big mistake!

The nuclear submarine that turned its head began to chase in the direction of the target, and in order to catch up, the power of the Los Angeles-class submarine was turned to the maximum, and the propeller rotated rapidly, propelling the submarine, and soon reached a high speed of thirty knots.

Pursue! As long as you can chase a distance of five nautical miles, you can launch the MK48 torpedo again! Locke had already ordered the officers and men of the torpedo compartment in front to prepare four torpedoes, and this time they would shoot out at an interval of five seconds, even if the other side used the air curtain wall again, at most one or two torpedoes would be dodged, and all four would dodge, it would be impossible!

Ten nautical miles is a matter of twenty minutes for a submarine sailing at high speed, and Locke is already imagining the scene of torpedoes hitting the opposing submarine.

In the past 20 years, the captains of American submarines have no experience in actual combat, even in the Cold War, the two sides confronted each other underwater, and never fired a torpedo, and after the end of the Cold War, the sovereignty of the United States over the ocean is sacrosanct, and even the Russian Navy has to retreat, where can the United States find a decent opponent! This time, Locke may well be the captain of an enemy submarine with a torpedo for the first time in twenty years!

Thinking of this, he was even more excited.

Pursuit, keep the pursuit!

However, when half an hour had passed, he realized that something was wrong.

Ten minutes ago, the sonar soldier reported that the other party was moving away quickly, and Locke should have been vigilant, but he was excited at the time, and now, after ten minutes of continuous pursuit, when the sonar soldier reported that he had lost his target, he woke up suddenly.

Damn, it's a trap!

When the captain of a nuclear submarine has been in office for a long time, his mind will be confused, and the other party is using a diesel-electric submarine! Underwater high-speed sailing is deadly, and it will use up all the power in an hour! And if the other party had been sailing at a rapid pace for half an hour just now, plus the electricity consumed before, the other party should have run out of power!

As long as a mature captain will never make such a mistake, then, there is only one possibility, the other party's departure is an illusion!

Underwater, everything depends on sound to explore the enemy, and sound, too, can be faked.

For example, just now, Thors accelerated his submarine to the maximum, the propeller rotated at the highest speed, and the hull sailed eastward, giving the other party the feeling that he was leaving at high speed, and then, slowly reducing the speed, in the other party's feeling, he was not slowing down, but also leaving at the highest speed, even the most experienced sonar may not be able to hear it.

In this way, Thors tempted the opponent's submarine to pursue, and then he dived and let the other party chase after him, only to realize that something was abnormal.

It's too late, and you've already got the most suitable position for the opponent's tail at six o'clock!

"Four torpedoes, thirty seconds apart, fired!" Thors commanded.

In the torpedo compartment of the head section, the launch tubes were opened one after another, and the four torpedoes left the launch tubes with an interval of thirty seconds and pounced on the tail of the opponent.

Only by killing and dealing with it can you get a short respite!

Tors is confident enough to at least injure the opponent and force the opponent to float! These four torpedoes are the latest torpedoes "developed" by Pakistan! The main technologies came from the collapse of the Soviet Union! (To be continued.) )
