Chapter 808 Underwater Confrontation

The eyes of the whole world are once again focused on the Indian Ocean. When the US Aegis warship was attacked underwater and almost sunk, the whole world was looking at the United States. The powerful United States, the global maritime rights cannot be violated. Facing a new challenge, what should they do?

Everyone can think that it is very likely that Pakistan and the United States have something unpleasant, because just when the Americans dispatched a large number of warships and anti-submarine aircraft to search for submarines in the Indian Ocean, the Pakistani navy was dispatched.

The two aircraft carriers formed a huge fleet, left the dock, and headed for the deep sea, and their goal was the sea area where the United States was carrying out maritime anti-submarine operations!

On the blue sea, the confrontation between the two navies is imminent!

At this time, the underwater world is still silent.

In the 200-meter-deep sea, the Supporter-class submarine is sailing in absolute silence.

After launching the submarine-launched missile, the submarine had already exposed its target, so Captain Thors ordered to sail at high speed and leave the sea area at that time. Although the American anti-submarine aircraft soon arrived and were busy rescuing the hit warship, the Supporter-class submarine quickly sailed to the northeast.

Continuing to sail northeast, it arrived at the Maldives, an island country in the Indian Ocean, consisting of more than 1,200 small coral islands, of which 202 islands are inhabited. It is also the largest coral island country in the world. From a bird's eye view, it looks like a string of pearls scattered in the Indian Ocean. The scenery here is beautiful and it is a famous tourist destination in later generations.

Now, the underwater composed of these islands and reefs is very complicated. As long as you enter the Maldives, you will no longer be discovered by American warships and anti-submarine aircraft. Escape with the help of complex sea areas is the most suitable choice for a conventional-powered submarine.

So. Thors' plan is to enter these coral reefs, but he did not succeed.

Just after the sonar operator reported that he heard a sonar buoy being dropped in the distance, Thors knew that it was the American P-3C aircraft that began to encircle him. This special anti-submarine aircraft has advanced performance. It can also drop torpedoes. He injured the American warships, and the Americans must sink him in revenge.

Just after the sonar operator reported, Thors ordered the submarine to turn off the motor. As a conventional diesel-electric submarine, there are two ways to dive underwater. In the snorkel state, the submarine's diesel engine can provide power and charge the battery at the same time. Below the snorkel depth. It can only rely on precious electricity.

When retreating just now, it was directly using the power of the battery to navigate at a depth of 100 meters. After all, it just did a big thing. If it sails in the snorkel state, it is easy to be discovered by the aircraft's sea search radar, and it will be difficult to escape at that time.

The power consumption of the battery has a lot to do with the way it is used. If it travels at a speed of 3 knots, it can travel nearly 300 nautical miles, and if it travels at the maximum underwater speed of 20 knots, it can travel for a maximum of one hour. That is, the power is exhausted after a distance of 20 nautical miles.

This is the disadvantage of conventional diesel-electric submarines, so now there are various AIP submarines, that is, air-independent propulsion engines, which can allow submarines to have longer underwater navigation time, and the ultimate king is still nuclear submarines. Only nuclear submarines can solve the underwater power problem. Achieve uninterrupted navigation, and the voyage depends only on the physical endurance of the crew.

Just when retreating, the submarine was traveling at a speed of ten knots. Even so, the submarine's power is now only half left. Under surveillance on the surface. Thors could only order the submarine to sail at a low speed of three knots and dive to a depth of 200 meters in the sea.

This is already the maximum diving depth of the Supporter-class submarine. This depth helps to conceal the submarine's sound signal. At a speed of three knots, the noise is already quite low. Now, it is almost integrated into the background sound of the sea and is no longer audible.

However, in this case, it is simply a delusion for the submarine to surface again to charge.

The submarine implemented power control. Except for the necessary equipment that was still running, most of the power supply was interrupted. Half of the lights in the corridor were also off. It was a bit cold under the water at a depth of 200 meters.

The food was also cold. In this case, the heating device could not be used in the restaurant on the submarine. Canned food was delicious for people on the shore, but it was very uncomfortable for the submarine crew to eat. It was too greasy to eat it every day.

"Two cans per person, must be eaten." Thors said. At this time, he, the captain, needed to give orders. Only in this way could the soldiers maintain sufficient physical strength.

After speaking, Thors opened a can of fish, took a spoon, and ate it in big mouthfuls. Then, without frowning, he chewed and swallowed it into his stomach.

Thors's emotions infected everyone, and they all ate in big mouthfuls.

After inspecting each cabin, Thors returned to the command tower. There was a smell of chemicals in the air, which was a way for submarines to produce oxygen underwater.

For nuclear submarines, there is sufficient electricity and oxygen can be obtained directly through electrolysis of water. Conventional-powered submarines can only use chemical agents to convert carbon dioxide back into oxygen for submarine use. The interior is a closed space, and the smell inside the submarine will become stronger and stronger as time goes on.

This state can only be changed when the snorkel is in the state, but now, this state is absolutely a luxury.

"Captain, our current situation is not good." The deputy captain said to Thors.

"Yes, we don't have much power stored now, but we can't surface to charge." Thors said: "Besides, we have lost contact with our superiors now."

The scheduled contact time has long passed, and this Supporter-class submarine seems to have disappeared. Of course, Thors also hopes to contact his superiors as soon as possible, but now he has no way. No matter what method is used, as long as he contacts his superiors, it will definitely attract the Americans' attack. The rescue force has not arrived yet, and everyone on his submarine will be buried in the belly of the fish.

Similarly, this submarine cannot obtain external information. I don't know what measures the Karachi base behind will take after discovering that they have not contacted on time.

In short, no matter what the final result is, Thors will not regret it, but his submarine only carries one submarine-launched missile. If there were two at the time, it would definitely sink the opponent's warship!

"I believe that our superiors will not abandon us. Based on the actions of the Americans on the sea, they will know that we are in trouble. Maybe our reinforcements are on the way." Thors said: "No matter when, no matter how difficult the situation is, we can't give up hope."

Submarine soldiers deal with loneliness and solitude all year round, and they must have a strong will to persevere.

"If our reinforcements are coming, there will definitely be a more serious conflict with the Americans." The deputy captain said.

Thors also knew that there would be a big battle on the sea at that time. Would President Muhammad make up his mind? Or would he choose to abandon the people on his ship?

No! The president will never give up on his side. There is no word compromise in President Muhammad's dictionary!

"Report, suspicious signal found, behind us." At this time, the sonar operator said.

As a new type of submarine, the Supporter class has very strong performance. In addition to the conventional bow sonar, a sonar array is also arranged on the side, and it also has a towed body sonar. Therefore, the tail position is no longer a blind spot, and there is no need to do the terrible crazy Ivan action to find out whether there is an enemy submarine following the tail.

"Forward three, full left rudder." Thors said. Although the sonar operator can hear the movement of the tail, if you want to determine the specific model, you still need to turn and use the side sonar array to face the opponent.

The rudder of the cross rudder at the tail began to move, and the five-blade propeller accelerated. Just after the hull turned sideways, the sonar operator listened carefully, and then his face changed.

"Los Angeles-class submarine! Fifteen nautical miles away!"

Los Angeles-class submarine! This is the main nuclear-powered attack submarine of the United States, with strong combat effectiveness and mature technology.

Being tracked by such a submarine is definitely not a good thing! Thors frowned immediately.

"Bang." At this moment, the sonar operator heard a lighter sound in his ears, followed by the sound of the sea water churning. Damn, the other party fired a torpedo!

"The other party has fired a torpedo!" the sonar operator shouted loudly.

It is quite dangerous to be discovered by the other party underwater and torpedoes are fired. Thors still calmly issued orders: "Full left rudder, forward four, prepare to release air curtain interference, all personnel are ready to accept the impact, damage control personnel are in place!"

At this time, it is very dangerous to give your butt to the other party or aim the side at the other party. The only way is to go up against the torpedo fired by the other party!

Behind, the Los Angeles submarine was also in a tense battle. It was a fluke that they found the unidentified submarine underwater. The captain of this nuclear submarine, Locke, did not search the sea area where the target retreated north like others. He used his submariner's thinking that if the other party wanted to get out of trouble, it would be best to sneak away in the complex waters here in the Maldives.

So, they came to the periphery of the Maldives and waited for it. As a result, they really found a target underwater.

The shame of the warship being bombed made the Americans furious. After discovering the suspected target, the Americans directly launched a MK48 torpedo. (To be continued ~^~)
