Chapter 699: Nuclear Submarine Treasure Hunting Team

As a training base for the Atlantic Fleet, the U.S. government has invested heavily in the Guantanamo Naval Base, so the infrastructure here is quite complete, including airports, barracks, material warehouses, ammunition depots, oil depots, maintenance sites, garages, command centers, radar stations, anti-aircraft missile positions and dock berths, as well as family quarters, schools, hospitals, recreation centers, shops, restaurants and beach resorts.

According to the terms of the agreement signed between the mercenaries and the Cuban government, the right to use the Guantanamo naval base belongs to the mercenaries and is on a permanent lease. At the beginning of the year, the United States Government decided to withdraw its navy from the area, and as soon as the relocation of the other side was completed, the receiving representative of the mercenary navy led a working group to quickly enter the base.

The Atlantic Theater Command has five naval bases in the ports of Rio de Janeiro, Puerto Madryn, Puerto Veracruz, Puerto Luanda, and Puerto Guantanamo, and has six standing aircraft carrier battle groups, which account for half of the mercenary navy.

With the construction of the Single-Crown Bay Naval Base and the inclusion of the South Kuril Islands in the Golden Triangle Federation, there is no need for the Mercenary Navy to maintain too large a navy in the Pacific Ocean, and it is enough to have two nuclear-powered aircraft carrier battle groups of the USS Enterprise and USS Washington, so Wu Chen renamed the Third Fleet of the Pacific Fleet the First Fleet of the Atlantic Fleet, and planned to be stationed in Rio de Janeiro, temporarily using this naval base as a home port.

At present, in addition to the USS Midway, an incomplete battle group, there are also the USS Independence, the USS Kitsacche-class amphibious assault ship, two Ticonderoga-class missile cruisers and two Ali Burke-class missile destroyers, four Spruance-class missile destroyers and four Perry-class frigates, two Stronghold-class electronic reconnaissance ships, two Austin-class dock landing ships, and four Los Angeles-class attack nuclear submarines.

Wu Chen, Dennis and the top brass of the Atlantic Theater Command came to the side of the Papa-class cruise missile nuclear submarine, and the captain greeted them with a crew of fifty-four people.

The Papa-class cruise missile nuclear submarine is Wu Chen's collection, not specifically for combat, the only one in the world, one of the twelve nuclear submarines built by the former Soviet Union in all titanium alloys, and also the world's fastest nuclear submarine, with a maximum speed of 44.7 knots and a diving depth of 800 meters.

Although this is an experimental nuclear submarine, its attack power is also very terrifying, and it is equipped with 10 Kraken-type anti-ship missiles, which are 8.84 meters long, weigh 3.1 tons, have a warhead of 840 kilograms, and have a maximum range of 110 kilometers, which can carry a nuclear warhead. There are also six 533-mm torpedo tubes, which have been modified to fire supercavitating torpedoes and heavy torpedoes of the MK-48 type.

In addition, the modified cruise missile nuclear submarine of this class can also be equipped with the launch of the Burst Spider 1 submarine-to-air missile, which is the latest achievement of the Golden Delta Academy of Sciences, using optical fiber guidance and infrared imaging, equipped with a three-stage thrust engine, the maximum range of the road-based type is 25 kilometers, and the maximum range of the submarine-launched type is 15 kilometers, which can deal with helicopters and armored vehicles, which is the characteristic of all nuclear submarines of the mercenary regiment.

The Papa-class cruise missile nuclear submarine is equipped with the world's most advanced detection equipment, a behemoth of nearly 9,000 tons, a hull 106.7 meters long and 11.6 meters wide, and can release deep-water detectors.

"This mission is to dig out the shipwreck treasure of Port Royal and the wealth of the underwater ruins, I will use the filming as a cover to drive a Sacramento-class supply ship and a Wichita-class supply ship above the ruins, the external excuse is to assist the crew in filming, as for how to do the rest, it is up to you!"

"Our mercenary corps navy, currently has the world's most powerful nuclear submarine force, the future will reach nearly two hundred terrifying number, the annual expenditure is about four billion US dollars or more, the current Golden Triangle Federation and the Atlantis Sea State of the financial revenue is low, I have to find a way to raise enough funds, your work is very important and very meaningful, I hope this excavation operation, can exchange ten years of funds for the nuclear submarine force." Wu Chen said to the officers and men of the nuclear submarine.

It is true that he has the most powerful nuclear submarine force in the world, and the advanced nuclear submarines he has obtained from the US Navy include two Seawolf-class attack nuclear submarines, eight Virginia-class attack nuclear submarines, 10 Ohio-class cruise missile nuclear submarines, and 40 Los Angeles-class attack nuclear submarines, which is 60 ships.

The former Soviet Union has six Alpha-class attack nuclear submarines, four Serra-class attack nuclear submarines, fourteen Akula-class attack nuclear submarines, eight Oscar-class cruise missile nuclear submarines, six Typhoon-class ballistic missile nuclear submarines, one Papa-class cruise missile nuclear submarine, five Delta-class ballistic missile nuclear submarines, six Charlie-class cruise missile II nuclear submarines, twenty Yankee-class strategic missile nuclear submarines, three Yankee-class cruise missile nuclear submarines, and one Yankee-class attack nuclear submarine, which is seventy-four.

Even if you don't mention the above 134 nuclear submarines of various types, the mercenary corps will also build 15 Deep Blue-class attack nuclear submarines, 15 Atlantis-class all-titanium alloy ballistic missile nuclear submarines, and 15 Tsunami-class cruise missile nuclear submarines, the technology comes from the Ohio-class, Virginia-class, Boreas-class and Yasen-class, which are the most advanced models in the world.

Whether it is cruise missile nuclear submarines, attack nuclear submarines, and ballistic missile nuclear submarines, no country in the world can compete with the nuclear submarine force of mercenaries under water, not even the United States.

However, nuclear submarines belong to the most sophisticated top-level equipment of the navy, and the annual expenditure of a nuclear submarine can cost two or three hundred million US dollars.

According to the calculation of 100 people in a nuclear submarine, the average soldier has a guarantee of 200,000 US dollars a year, and the captain has to have a minimum guarantee of 1 million US dollars, and the salary alone will cost more than 20 million US dollars!

The treasure hunt is not complicated, this sunken site is only a dozen meters from the sea, and the depth is not more than twenty meters, divers can stay for a long time, such as those special forces with good physical fitness, such as the American Navy SEALs, half an hour is easy, and there is no problem with another fifteen minutes.

Amphibious assault ships and nuclear submarines can release more than 100 divers and more than a dozen submersibles at a time, and with the help of the most advanced detectors, it is estimated that the entire site can be searched in two months. During the day, when the treasure is hidden, and the treasure is hoisted onto the ship at night, no one can imagine such a thing.
