Chapter 636 - Targeted
"Don't panic, calm down! This sea is a safe area, just like our backyard. "The captain of the Louisiana was alarmed by an unprecedented circumstance, and the majestic lieutenant colonel reassured everyone as soon as he appeared.www.biquge.info
"Please leave the central control room immediately, return to your cabin to rest quietly, and wait for orders." The lieutenant commander first drove the old Henry and the others away, and then walked up to the officer on duty, and after asking the other party's response and records, he said, "There is no problem with your disposal. ”
Fishing boats, I have encountered a lot in the past. But the situation today is a little different. Second Lieutenant Jackson couldn't help but remind: "Sir, there are a total of six distant-water fishing boats operating within five nautical miles of us, and all of them have turned on active sonar, which is very abnormal. ”
Needless to say, Lieutenant Colonel Captain also heard the incessant sound of 'Duang, Duang' from inside the boat. This surprisingly loud sound can only show that the emission source of the sound is very close to itself, and the power is amazing.
"Where are we now?" The captain asked the helmsman and the electronic charts quickly gave clear information.
The Tiger Cruise departed from Singapore's Changi Military Port, one of America's most loyal doglegs in Southeast Asia. According to data given by the inertial navigation system, the Louisiana is located on the edge of the South China Sea, which is equivalent to running into trouble just after leaving the port.
If it's another U.S. ship, you can call for support in case of trouble. But now the 'Louisiana' is more than 150 meters underwater, and even extremely long-wave communications have been cut off, and it is impossible to communicate with the outside world at all.
And as a ballistic missile nuclear submarine, concealment is the Louisiana's most powerful weapon, and it can't just call people to help. Quiet cruising is what makes it special.
"Increase the power and sail at half speed." Lieutenant Commander commanded. The 'Ohio' class can run at a speed of twenty-five knots at the fastest, and although it is not as fast as the 'Seawolf' or even 'Virginia', it is enough to be proud of the world.
And now, whatever happened, it was a matter of writing it in the logbook and giving it to the Naval Intelligence Agency to investigate. All the Louisiana has to do now is get out of the current dangerous environment.
"Maybe we happened to run into a few Chinese fishing boats equipped with high-power active sonar, but high power doesn't mean anything, they can't have high-precision sonar receiving and analysis equipment, let alone our voiceprint information, we just leave here."
Theoretically, the absence of voiceprint information means that the submarine cannot be recognized from the marine clutter environment. But this time, the captain's words did not reassure the officers and soldiers in the central control room, because the six fishing boats turned on active sonar together, which was also too weird.
In the depths, the Louisiana is like a huge black fish, and its propellers stir the water to propel it away from its current waters. But after less than ten minutes, the sonar soldier sent another warning: "Sir, those six fishing boats are following. ”
Damn, keep up?
The positions of the six fishing boats have been marked on the electronic chart, and if the nuclear submarine sails at half speed, it will not be able to get rid of these guys who are desperately trying to get closer. Seeing this obvious sailing trajectory, even the lieutenant colonel was stunned for a few seconds.
Can't you? This has never happened before.
The Chinese have been clamoring that the South China Sea is their territory, but in fact it has historically been under the de facto control of the United States. In order to prevent Chinese warships and submarines from rushing out of the first island chain from the South China Sea, the Americans have military bases in the Philippines and Singapore to guard them.
The reason why the Chinese have made a lot of noise in the international community in recent years is that these moves have made the US Navy, which was originally playing casually in the South China Sea, very unhappy.
Now it's even more troublesome, Eagle Sauce's nuclear submarine was targeted by fishing boats not long after it left the port - if this fishing boat can find nuclear submarines, then what's the deal? Rabbit, what kind of black technology is your fishing boat equipped with? Are you going to go against the sky?
"Dive another fifty meters, full speed, and get out of it immediately." The captain of 'Louisiana' realizes the danger, and it's no fun to be targeted by several fishing boats. This means that in the future, Eagle Sauce's nuclear submarine will not want to casually break into the South China Sea.
The fishing boats in the South China Sea dare not say how advanced they are, but pulling out one or two thousand of them is like playing. This is more efficient than any sonar monitoring network, and it still has artificial intelligence.
But for the crew of the Louisiana, a big question arose - they had encountered fishing boats in the past. Not to mention fishing boats, what boats haven't been encountered? Active sonar has also been encountered a lot, but there has never been such a situation today. This is the rhythm of being stared at!
Don't think much about why? There is one thing that is difficult to accept, but it is already obvious. The lieutenant commander said to the officer on duty Jackson with a gloomy face: "Recorded in the logbook, our voiceprint information should have been mastered. ”
The leakage of voiceprint information is like the name, appearance, and identity information of the criminal have been mastered by the police. No matter where you go in the future, as long as you show up, the possibility of being targeted will greatly increase.
Now that computers can replace manual data comparison, it is fast and convenient, and enemy submarines and anti-submarine ships will be able to easily distinguish the sound of the Louisiana from a bunch of noises.
"What the hell!" Thinking that he would not be able to play happily in the future, the lieutenant colonel couldn't help but scold. But now the nuclear submarines are about to flee at full speed, and the six fishing boats above their heads still don't let them go.
On a converted 1,000-ton fishing boat on the sea, more than a dozen PLA Navy officers and men in civilian clothes were happy to find the north. In front of them was a whole sonar system, and it was this newly modified sonar that caught the nuclear submarine at the bottom of the sea.
Although this set of sonar transducers is not as large as that on warships, they can turn on active sonar unscrupulously, and the signal feedback strength is dozens of times higher than that of passive sonar. They clearly watched the 'Ohio'-class nuclear submarine dive from a depth of 120 meters to a depth of 220 meters, which was already approaching the maximum depth of the 'Ohio'-class nuclear submarine.
On the fishing boat, a sonar soldier said happily: "The results of the voiceprint comparison are out, this is the last 'Louisiana' of the 'Ohio' class of the US Navy." Exactly the same as the features in the new database. ”
A naval officer also closed his mouth happily, "These bastards are really swaggering towards our territory, obviously bullying us and not recognizing it." But now that the voiceprint data is in our hands, the passive sonar of warships and submarines can be found out at a certain distance in the future. ”
The captain of the ship walked in outside the cabin wearing a civilian camouflage uniform, and there was a fierce maritime militia. Seeing that everyone was laughing, he asked happily, "Since you have found it, is there a way to sink it?" ”
"That's not going to work, we'll just have to expel it." The officer felt that it would be nice to be able to identify the target from the noise of the sea and drive them away. "In fact, it has already begun to accelerate its escape, and we will report the mission to our superiors immediately."
"How boring is that?" The boss of the ship clearly felt that it was not cool enough to toss like this, "You have to teach a lesson at one time, and these Americans will know that it is powerful." Don't you just feel that the trouble caused by the sinking is too great? We can make it float up! ”
Float up? The officers and soldiers looked at each other a little, and the opinion of the captain of the ship sounded quite cool, but the superiors did not give such an order, and the consequences were unpredictable.
"Leave it alone, I'll take care of it."
"Boat boss, don't mess around!"
"What can I do? I'm just a fisherman, I can't cast a net! (To be continued.) )
