436 Octopus Torpedo? Torpedo!

Since the rise of Britain since the Industrial Revolution, the only thing that can threaten its homeland is the naval attack led by Ruitt and the Führer's Sea Lion plan, which not even the emperor has swept across Europe.

In 1667, he led a fleet to venture into the Thames, and directly threatened London, and captured the "Royal Charles", the flagship of the British Royal Navy at that time, in the military port.

At this time, the commander of the Dutch Far East Fleet, who was bloodied by the 38th Task Force of the Great Song Dynasty with naval guns beyond the imagination of ordinary people, suddenly became possessed by Ruyt, and he decided to rush to the Great Song people's fleet with only three combat ships and fight to the death with it, rather than obediently hang up the white flag and surrender.

The Dutch quickly adjusted their formation to reduce the area of the warships, attempting to get closer to the Great Song warships parked outside the port of Batavia at the expense of one or two warships.

"Hey, this is going to rush over and fight us! With so many electronic devices on our ships and their counter-shooting, they are going to lose a lot of money. Yang Guang said after seeing the adjustments made by the Dutch.

"Oh, it's still too young, we dare to bring our little brother here to pretend to be forced, didn't we think you would come to jump over the wall in a hurry?" Guo Wei said.

"Tell the torpedo operator to set the depth of the torpedo and end this torture show as soon as possible." Yang Guang said.

As a dreadnought-class destroyer wearing the hat of "the king of the world's anti-submarine capability," the 650 ship switched to two KT-190 quadruple anti-ship missile launchers that launched "Sandfly-M" anti-ship missiles on the two sides of the ship, resulting in the 650 ship carrying a lot less rocket-boosted torpedoes than other "dreadnought"-class destroyers. But after all, he was the master who wore the crown of the "anti-submarine king", and even if he lost weight in anti-submarine, he still installed eight 533 mm (21 in) torpedo tubes under the protection of the hinged cover above the stabilizer fin behind the rear chimney.

The heavy torpedo with a 650 mm diameter of 533 ships was a composite guided torpedo, that is, wake guidance and sonar guidance. The so-called wake guidance means that the torpedo tracks the wake generated by the propeller when the ship is sailing and the track generated by the hull movement, and judges the course, speed and position of the ship through the measurement of the velocity, direction and temperature of the water body, and guides the torpedo tail to chase the attacking ship. The destructive nature of wake guidance is enormous, mainly attacking the ship's power system, i.e. the propeller as well as the rudder. As for sonar guidance, I won't repeat it here.

Because of these torpedoes, Guo Wei will laugh at the Dutchman's desperate blow with "too young", in front of destroyers and frigates equipped with modern torpedoes, these ironclad ships that do not even have the most primitive anti-torpedo jamming equipment are impossible to play any hand-to-hand combat, even if they don't rely on high speed to get rid of you, they can also play with you!

As for the "Duke" class frigates and the "Brandenburg" class frigates, although they did not go mad enough to carry heavy torpedoes with a diameter of more than 500 millimeters, light torpedoes such as American-made Mk46 torpedoes and British-made Marconi "Stingray" torpedoes were not something that those ironclad ships without mine protection belts could withstand.

The commander of the Dutch Far East Fleet felt that in addition to the reason why the bow of his warship was facing the Great Song people to reduce the area of the bombs, the Great Song people were afraid of hand-to-hand combat was the main reason, and he estimated that the Great Song people were already preparing to turn to speed up in order to widen the distance between themselves and their own.

"Increase your speed, don't let the Great Song people distance us!" The commander of the Dutch Far Eastern Fleet issued an order.

To the surprise of the Dutch, the Great Song did not turn to accelerate, and still stopped at the sea where they had anchored.

"Beware of their torpedoes, since they have naval guns that are beyond our range, it is very likely that they will have torpedoes with a range longer than ours." The commander was also an experienced admiral.

It's just that torpedoes in this era were driven by compressed air engines, and the first thermodynamic torpedo (also known as steam gas torpedo) was not used until eight years later by the American E. · Bliss invented.

In the impression of the Dutch, the most advanced torpedo is only a dozen knots and a range of several hundred meters, even if the Great Song people have advanced technology, it is already a miracle to be able to double or triple the range of the torpedo.

However, with this loud bang, the tail of the Dutch warship that rushed to the front was swept away from the sea by the white waves, and the Dutch did not even know that they were being attacked by something. What the heck!? Did the Great Song people lay mines near here? It can't be, they have just arrived in the waters of Batavia, and it is impossible to lay mines in our path! Could it be a torpedo fired by the Great Song people? They have torpedoes with a range of more than 5 nautical miles!?

Before the Dutch could figure out what their warship was attacking, the hull of the warship, which had been hit by a 533-mm heavy torpedo in its stern, had begun to tilt, and a large amount of seawater had apparently poured into the hold.

The total combat weight of the 650 mm torpedo launched by the 533 ship is 1500KG, and the warhead weighs 400KG, well, compared to the 63 type torpedo that Maozi used to attack large ships such as Hangma, this charge is still a little less, but it is more than enough to open the scoop for the ironclad ship.

The shock wave brought by the explosion of the 400KG high-energy explosives in the water is much more terrifying than that stirred up on the ground, as we all know, the density of water is about 1000 times that of the air, so the energy transmitted by the explosion of the same equivalent is 1000 times greater than that in the air, which is the famous "multiplication effect", the energy brought by the explosion of 400KG high-energy explosives is enough to tear apart any warship hull material that can be manufactured by metallurgical technology in this era.

The explosion of this 533-mm torpedo, which was fixed at a depth below the bottom of the Dutch warship, created a huge shock wave and bubbles in a very short time. Since the water is incompressible, the blast wave carries a large number of bubbles to the bottom of the Dutch warship and spreads out, thus forming a foam jet; In addition, the shock wave acts on the hull, which will not only directly destroy the hull but also lift it up, and then the diffused foam "dilutes" the buoyancy of the water near the bottom of the ship, thus making the hull sink rapidly, which causes the hull to be in a state of up and down shock, and the hull damaged by the high-energy shock wave can withstand such a toss, after several "bending", and finally the Dutch warship was broken by its own weight.

A huge crack opened in the hull near the stern that could not be repaired, and the huge water pressure brought by the massive influx of seawater caused the Dutch warship to enter a vicious circle of capsizing, and no amount of miraculous damage could save it from sinking to the bottom of the sea.

Then the Dutch Far East Fleet, which was approaching the Great Song Fleet at "high speed", was attacked one after another, and this time the Dutch finally determined that they had been torpedoed by the Great Song people.

In fact, not to mention the 533-mm heavy torpedoes that detonated below the bottom of the ship, even the American-made Mk46 and British Marconi "Stingray" light torpedoes that directly hit the waterline armor of the Dutch warship could have caused fatal damage to the Dutch.

The Dutch warships that had been hit by light torpedoes and pierced the waterline armor thought that the change in the surface of the hull had caused the speed of the ship to drop rapidly, and the goal of getting close to the Great Song people was out of reach, and all that was left was to make a desperate effort to delay the sinking of the ship.
