Chapter 935 First Stage Anti-Submarine Warfare
Beep!
A fleet of three steel battleships, one large, two small, and three steel battleships split the waves and sailed majestically across the high seas of the Eritrean Sea, leaving only three long white wakes on the sea.
However.
In the fleet, the two small escort battleships “Pangolin” and “Warthog” under the flag of dukedom are actually not the main [battleships] in the navy, but two [fast cruisers]. ].
[Specifications] Length: 169 meters; Width: 16.9 meters; Draft: 5.8 meters; Standard displacement: 7430 tons.
[Arms]: Main guns: 4 double-mounted 152mm 50x caliber guns; secondary guns: 4 single-mounted 102mm 45x caliber guns; anti-aircraft guns: 3 quadruple mounted 12.7 62 mm anti-aircraft guns; Torpedoes: 2 quadruple 533 mm torpedo tubes.
【Speed】: 29 knots.
Just as the [International League of Democracy] has already successfully launched its own [full-heavy artillery battleship], the [Aegis of the Sovereign] will of course not let its own naval strategy system appear. blank.
These [Fast Cruisers] are actually playing the role of Level 5 and Level 6 ships in the past sailing era.
In particular, Tulip, which has the largest colony in the world, needs a large number of cruisers to maintain the security of the colony.
Even if they can’t be used as a finalized main battleship, they can be used to scout the enemy; launch a breakout engagement; protect the battleship fleet to the open sea; or use wolf pack tactics to besiege the enemy’s large warships.
As for the flagship and lead ship in the fleet, there is no doubt that it is the [full heavy artillery battleship · super fearless class · Crown Prince].
Captain: 177.8 meters; Width: 29 meters; Draft: 8.7 meters; Displacement at full load: 28,900 tons.
No matter from the comparison of that parameter, it is the most powerful battleship in the world civilization, and it is not one of them.
It is the flagship of the Black Sea Fleet among the three fleets of Garriott dukedom: Black Sea Fleet, Shattered Star Sea Fleet and Yellow Golden Sea Fleet, and a powerful barrier guarding the capital.
However, at this time, the atmosphere in the captain’s cabin, which is very luxuriously decorated, is not very harmonious.
The female officer with a slender figure and a straight military uniform cocked her feet and sat on the captain’s chair, looking at the captain’s docile standing in front of him. Faint smile:
“Elantra, do you know what’s wrong with you?”
The latter’s face was full of grievances, and there was no such thing as a vice-admiral:
“Dear, wronged Ah!”
“Wronged? That Miss Negrito, who was in charge of the reception, was about to get into your arms at the ball. I remember it was Fatima Sana, or Eldest Young Lady, a high caste from the Si Family?”
“Peacock Islands” is indeed the “Museum of Ethnicity and Belief” of the entire human world, although Miss Fatima is still He is a Negrito, but he was born in the upper class.
In other words, she belongs to the mixed blood of the alien Niemans and Negritos. She has long maroon hair, high nose and deep eyes, and her skin is also a very healthy wheat color.
What’s even more rare is that although she is only 18 years old, she has already obtained a bachelor’s degree from the Faletis Tulip Art Academy, and is the first to graduate in the same period. close friend.
On the end is an absolute beauty who wants to have good looks and connotations.
“How can you smear someone’s innocence out of thin air? It’s not because it’s not convenient for you to attend the farewell party, so you can’t let me dance with a man, right?” The lower abdomen, the heart said: You look down on me too much, even if I have the heart, how can I have the courage?
“hmph, let my brother beat you up when you get home!”
hearing this, His Excellency the general who doesn’t make sense can only return a wry smile, although he is very self-aware, a hundred I can’t beat my brother-in-law who is [Truth Representation].
But he’s almost forty years old anyway, and it’s hard for him to say something like “let my brother beat your brother” to his wife anyway.
Dare to fight against Irina’s “brutal” rule?
Although she doesn’t look very pregnant, her limbs are slender and graceful. In fact, she is almost three months pregnant.
Now this is a treasure!
If it makes her angry, I’m afraid the whole family will unite and kill herself.
When the time comes, I’m afraid it will become a mixed doubles of two [Demi-God] immediately! cannot afford to offend, cannot afford to offend.
Right now.
dong! dong! dong!
With the rapid knock on the door, a voice like the sound of nature sounded in Elantra’s ears:
“Reporting ship” Your Excellency Chang, the sonar feedback, there is an unknown thing following us underwater!”
Hey!
The Elantra rushed out in a single stride.
Since there was a military situation, Irina, as the deputy captain, couldn’t tell the difference, so she followed closely from behind and rushed into the bridge.
Because both the sonar squad and the radar squad are under the control of the radar department, the radar captain reports the enemy’s situation to the two captains:
“Report to the captain, the unknown object has power, and the speed is ten It was captured by passive sonar five minutes ago, and the distance from us is currently one kilometer.
It is speculated that it should have been near our route in advance, and the noise created by the movement was only noticed by us.”
[Sonar] itself is a technology for navigation and ranging through electro-acoustic conversion and information processing. The key point is not ultrasound, but electro-acoustic conversion and information processing.
This is a problem that was solved by [Electrical Engineers] in recent years. It is very different from the sonar on [Crown of Miracles] that can only be used with the help of the ship spirit “Mei”.
The new-style sonar equipped on the [Crown Prince] has a passive detection distance of about 20 kilometers and an active detection distance of about 50 kilometers.
Although passive sonar is turned on all day, it does not need to actively emit ultrasonic waves, and it will not expose its own existence due to the use of sonar.
But the performance is much worse than that of active sonar, especially if the noise of the measured target is close to or even less than the ocean background noise, it is basically no different from blind.
This is also the basis for the radar chief to make the above judgment.
“Order, the Warthog approached for reconnaissance, and gave Captain Colonel Mandel permission to fire first!”
When one of the two cruisers slowly left the team and sailed on its own when.
A kilometer beside them, in the same direction, an unremarkable rod suddenly shrunk underwater.
“Sir, the noise of the diesel engine has exposed us, do we want to launch an attack now?”
“It would be great if the [Magnetic Stone] could be miniaturized, with a high degree of silence. The submarine will not be so easy to find.”
The captain sighed with emotion, and then ordered:
“Order: Open the front sealing hatch of the No. 1 torpedo tube and fill it with Seawater.”
[Golden Palm Federal Submarine Nether Soul Class Sea Snail]
[Specifications]: shell diameter 5.3 meters; length 36 meters; surface displacement 493 tons; The maximum surface speed is 14 knots, the underwater speed is only 10 knots, the maximum diving depth is 60 meters, and the crew is 20 people.
【Arms】: 50mm and 37mm guns each; 6 450mm torpedo tubes.
Limited by the current level of technology, the Commonwealth-built [Nether Soul class] usually sails on the surface, and the combat weapons are torpedoes, mines and artillery.
Because the current torpedoes are all direct torpedoes, the range is short and the reliability is insufficient, so the submarines are equipped with artillery. If they encounter a weak merchant ship, they can pursue the artillery on the surface.
As for the provocation by going to the route of the Dukedom fleet this time, it was not a whim.
【International League of Democracy】After all, it is different from a monarchy. As the monarch, Alwin can decide a lot of things without considering the cost and balancing the interests of all parties.
Especially in terms of technical route, no one can control Alwin’s will.
But in a “democratic country”, the arms research and development department, the navy, the members of Congress, and the “eyes of wealth”, the backer of the money, each have their own interests.
Everyone has their own ideas about the future development route of the Navy. No matter how rich they are, it is impossible to have all the technical routes.
To tell the truth, the arms race has been going on for years without any benefit, and it is time to show some results to the big man in Congress and the father of money.
Whether it can be achieved or not, only when there is friction can we cheat. It is to apply for more funds!
Of course.
【Sea Snail】The front-line fighters of the whole boat dare to use the confidence of the world’s strongest battleship.
It is their belief that at present, this powerful weapon and equipment that can stay underwater for a long time is almost invincible.
And they’re not sea monsters, [song of sea monster] simply doesn’t work for them.
This time, what could be more exciting than challenging the world’s strongest battleships for the actual combat? The Federal Army’s highest medal, the Palme d’Or, is beckoning to them!
“Dive down, get out of the periscope depth!”
For this submarine, the periscope depth is seven meters.
“Target the nearest cruiser, torpedo tube number one, launch!”
Whoosh!
A white line flew out against the water.
The torpedo is 2 meters long, weighs 220 kilograms, has a charge of 40 kilograms, a speed of 30 knots, and a range of 4 kilometers.
The combustion chamber was first invented by the weapons expert genius engineer Levitt (mortal), and the gas generated by the combustion of high-pressure air and fuel was sent into the cylinder to drive the piston movement, making the world’s first [thermal power] Torpedo] (also known as steam gas torpedo).
But this fish can only be used to attack surface ships.
So when a submarine is attacking an enemy ship, it must float to a distance of 3-15 meters from the water surface before it can launch torpedoes.
At 16:35 in the afternoon, the sun on the equator was very bright. Although the true face of the enemy had not yet been seen, the lookout post of the “Warthog” had already discovered the torpedo trail of the unfathomable mystery.
I thought it was some kind of sea monster, but Captain Mandel, who had prepared the [sea monster song], was horrified:
“Left full rudder, avoid— !”
At the same time, there were two murderous-looking white waterlines, which drilled out of the sea one after another, and rushed towards the [Super Fearless Grade Crown Prince] not far away.
