The Ohio-class nuclear submarine is actually essentially a strategic nuclear missile submarine, and this thing is loaded with a belly of nuclear bombs.

You must know that this is the flagship of the Amejian Navy series, equipped with 24 "Trident" IID5 submarine-launched ballistic missile launchers.

Each of these ballistic missile launch systems can carry 12 MK-5 re-entry vehicles and 12 W88 thermonuclear warheads with a yield of 475,000 tons, with a range of up to 11,000 kilometers.

This means that if only one Ohio-class strategic missile submarine launches all 24 Trident IID5 missiles, it can convert 288 cities and targets into radioactive dust in 30 minutes.

Even in peacetime, nuclear submarines often act alone, cruising in the oceans like a ghost.

It doesn't need an escort formation to escort it, because in peacetime there is no one who doesn't have a long eye to fight this thing, and attacking this thing is tantamount to a declaration of war.

In the case of Huaxia's nuclear submarines, the number of establishments occupied is directly one division, and they only accept orders from the highest military headquarters.

Of course, since the nuclear submarine was put into service, there have been many nuclear submarines that have been sunk due to accidents, and none of them have been sunk.

If any nuclear submarine is sunk, it will be subjected to nuclear retaliation by the other side by any means, and no one can afford to shoulder this responsibility.

Unless it's because of an accident.

At this time, the Ohio-class strategic nuclear submarine "Nautilus" was turning on the sonar device at full power to scan the ocean surface.

More than a dozen underwater acoustic detection devices on the submarine have all been turned on, mainly ANBQQ-6 sonar, which in addition to scanning the surface, is also monitoring the surrounding movements in real time.

This kind of sonar mainly works actively, and the detection distance reaches 5-10 nautical miles, so even the information on the seabed is scanned by them.

"Sir, we have found a very long cable on the bottom of the sea, according to the information, it is near the active volcano area under the sea, and the electromagnetic interference is very strong.

No one would lay a submarine cable in such a place, and the unknown object just now also followed this cable. At this time, in the sonar room, a monitor printed out the scanned seabed infographic and handed it to the captain.

Through this pale green sonar scan of the seabed, the captain could see at a glance the picture displayed in the picture, highlighted in dark green.

"Follow this cable and take a look, maybe there's something special to discover." The captain also frowned at this time, and opened his mouth to command the others.

"Sir, we're going to deviate from our normal cruising course." At this time, someone spoke again.

"Don't worry, the South Pacific is also our third alternate cruise route, floating to a depth of 200 meters, and reporting our position to the Department of Defense."

The captain beckoned and spoke to the communications soldier beside him.

"Yes sir!" The Signal Corps took the order and left.

Soon, the inside of the submarine began to get busy.

At this time, the captain of the submarine also walked to the upper command room of the submarine and began to command in an orderly manner.

At the same time, he, together with the co-captain, in their respective control positions, entered a small piece of command.

"Ready to start ascent, the water is 200 meters deep."

"Ready to pump, the drain has been opened and the seawater is being discharged." fantasy

"The engine room is in place, the engine is started at half power, and the afloat process begins."

.....

Everyone was methodically ascending, preparing to ascend to a depth of 200 meters, and using long-wave communication devices to communicate with the Supreme Command.

The shorter the wavelength of ordinary electromagnetic waves, the greater the loss, because the density of water is 800 times that of air, and electromagnetic waves become heat as soon as they are emitted.

However, ultra-long wave can solve this problem, if it is used, it can receive shore signals at a depth of 300 meters, so as to avoid detection by satellites and enemy aircraft.

However, the ultra-long-wave communication ability is limited, sometimes a string of characters even needs to be transmitted for dozens of minutes, for them who cruise silently, do not expose the water, and use ultra-long-wave contact in the sea, which can avoid exposure to the greatest extent possible.

"According to the sonar scan, this long cable extends from the South China Sea, and the unidentified underwater object that has reached 300 knots underwater is also from the South China Sea, David, I really don't understand what these Chinese people are doing."

At this time, the deputy captain felt the continuous rise of the submarine, and also turned his head and looked at the captain on the side.

"Whatever it is, Veron, we have to find out, and when we reach the height, we will immediately contact the headquarters and ask them to send an aircraft carrier fleet to search this area.

This is an area of the high seas, and they have no reason to stop us, and when the time comes, they will admit it, and if they don't, we will send salvage ships.

Fish everything back to the bottom of the sea to see what it is, so that you can run at a speed of 300 knots underwater. The captain's name is Wei Lun, a middle-aged man in his forties, who is also determined to win.

You must know that they are nuclear submarines, and they basically walk sideways in the open sea, and no one dares to touch them at all, because moving them is equivalent to declaring war and preparing to bear the wrath of nuclear retaliation.

If it is in seawater, the fastest speed is a torpedo called "supercavitation".

When an object moves faster than 100 knots in water, a singular water vapor bubble forms in the rear, creating a mechanical effect ——— a "supercavitating" fluid.

This kind of torpedo hits under the water, basically one hit and one accurate, but the fly in the ointment is that this kind of torpedo cannot turn at all.

In other words, the possibility of supercavitating torpedoes was also ruled out, because the sonar source they heard 6 nautical miles away would turn.

They were desperate to find out what the unidentified underwater object was.

At the same time, they have risen to a depth of 390 meters, and if they rise another 90 meters, they will be able to communicate with their headquarters through ultra-longwave communication devices.

"Alarm, alarm, alarm, there is an unknown object approaching at a rapid pace."

However, just as they were making this wishful thinking, dozens of unknown signals suddenly appeared on the sonar chart displayed in the command room.

"Knock knock...."

These unknown signals moved very fast, and even appeared on the sonar for less than five seconds before shooting directly at them.

They could clearly hear what appeared to be something striking the hull of the submarine, and at the same time, there was a violent vibration throughout the interior of the submarine.

It was the first time that the insiders had encountered such a strange thing, as if their submarine had hit the bottom of an iceberg.

But it's summer, and it's still warm in the South Pacific, so there's no such thing as an iceberg.
