Chapter 491: Underwater Confrontation

Time goes on. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The anti-submarine formation lined up, all the warships, almost combed the entire sea surface nearby, but nothing was found underwater!

On the Nimitz, everyone on the Nimitz was extremely depressed.

Vice Admiral Jonathan frowned, was it his own error of judgment, or did the submarine of the Soviets really exist, but had just slipped away?

If it is said that the submarine of the Soviets has slipped away, then it means that the submarines of the Soviets have a huge advantage and can henceforth wander freely around the American aircraft carrier formation? How can this be! Even if they had the electronic technology of the island country, it would be impossible for the Soviets to make such technological progress against the sky, right?

And if you say that your judgment is wrong? Vice Admiral Jonathan will not agree, everyone knows the resume of Vice Admiral Jonathan, this vice admiral who is almost sixty years old, served on a frigate during World War II, and his task is to protect the transport fleet on the Atlantic route, and during the long voyage, Vice Admiral Jonathan's frigate sank at least three German submarines!

This veteran general has a congenital sensitivity to submarines.

"Report, the CIA sent the underwater acoustic data here." Just then, the adjutant broke the silence and walked in to report.

If you want to play hide and seek with submarines, underwater acoustic data is very important! During the long Cold War confrontation, the US Navy was familiar with the hydroacoustic data of all oceans of the world, except here!

After taking the water acoustic materials, Lieutenant General Jonathan's face showed an angry expression and threw the stack of materials aside. Damn it!

"Mr. Lieutenant General, what's going on?" Captain Miller took the stack of materials, looked at it, and was also shocked.

Damn, the density cline here turned out to be just over a hundred meters! That damn submarine must have slipped into the density jump!

"Send the Omaha, dive one hundred and fifty meters deep!" Miller immediately gave the order.

Now, our own anti-submarine has been going on for four hours, and the submarine of the Soviets under the water, if it had sailed at full speed, must have run more than a hundred nautical miles! If the other side had sailed against itself in the first place, now it is only more than 200 nautical miles away from the Soviet aircraft carrier formation, and if it wants to intercept them, it can only rely on underwater submarines!

During this time, the Groton has always been on standby in the sea area that it is searching, and if the Groton is dispatched, even if it sails at full speed, it will not be able to catch up with the submarines of the Soviets, you know, the Soviets always go to extremes in these parameters, and they have even found that the submarines of the Soviets have run at a speed of forty knots underwater!

Fortunately, with a double aircraft carrier formation, it is impossible to have a nuclear submarine underwater, just between the aircraft carrier formation of the own side and the aircraft carrier formation of the Soviets, there is also an Omaha on standby, and the task of this submarine is naturally to intercept the submarines of the Soviets and prevent the submarines in the aircraft carrier formation of the Soviets from breaking through their own anti-submarine lines.

Although it lost its target last night, the Omaha sailed to the designated position today during its continuous search, monitoring the movements of the Soviets' carrier formation.

Now, just in time for the Omaha to intercept it!

Because of the shallow water that was already close to this place, the Omaha only dived at a depth of 50 meters, and let the Omaha dive to a depth of 150 meters, it would be able to track the trail of the Soviets' submarine!

Recently, the United States has always been at a disadvantage in the confrontation with the Soviet Union, especially the US Navy, which must not be reduced to a joke for the Soviets!

After receiving the order, the Omaha left and began the operation.

Dive!

Knowing that there might be a Soviet submarine underwater, the Omaha didn't make much noise, tilted its hull three times, sailed silently, and finally dived to a depth of 150 meters in a minute.

"Report, suspicious sound source found, distance five, speed thirty, voyage 270!"

After leveling, the monitoring of passive sonar immediately came out with the result and found an unknown target!

It can only be an unknown target, because in the confrontation with the Soviet Union, such a sound signal has never been found! The database cannot be compared, it should be the new submarine of the Soviets!

Moreover, it can now be found that it is also because the submarine is racing underwater at a high speed of thirty knots! At this speed, the noise of the submarine is simply unavoidable. Moreover, it is very timely for your own dive, and that submarine is only five nautical miles away from you!

The disadvantages and advantages of the density cline were equally prominent, and the Soviet submarines, while using the density cline to hide their whereabouts, were simply unable to detect various situations above the cline! And now, the own side is right behind the Soviet submarine, how can the own side not keep up with the position of such a chrysanthemum?

"Release the communication buoy, find the Soviet submarine, our boat is tracking, ask for support!" Captain Collison said.

Request support! As long as the surface warship receives the news, there will still be many countermeasures, the sonar buoy of the anti-submarine aircraft, the throwing depth can be set to one hundred and five, locate this submarine under the water, and then throw the torpedo, the same depth is set to one hundred and five, under such a loud noise, it is too easy to damage the submarine of the Soviets!

In fact, needless to say, if you send two active sonar waves over now, you can scare the Soviets' submarines enough! I don't know how many times I've played this kind of game in the more than ten years that Collison has been a submariner.

And now, in addition to requesting support, another task is naturally to catch up!

"Full speed ahead!" Collison continued to give orders.

The other side's current speed is only 30 knots, while its own Los Angeles class will exceed 32 knots when sailing at full speed, so it will definitely be able to catch up with the Soviets' submarines!

In addition to being afraid that the Soviets' submarines would run away, on the other hand, they naturally wanted to collect as much as possible the sound characteristics of the other submarines and supplement them to the database.

Moreover, thinking of the report of his own intelligence system, Collison is also pondering, maybe, this is the Oscar-class cruise missile nuclear submarine of the Soviets, right?

Keep up! The distance between the two sides is getting closer and closer, and after receiving the news, the S-3 anti-submarine aircraft that took off should be able to arrive within an hour, and then their own side will completely occupy the initiative!

"Three distances, we're too close!"

"No, keep pursuing!" Collison wondered a little in his heart, why was the power on the water so slow to react, and it hadn't caught up yet?

"Distance two, we have to slow down!"

"Oh, no!" Just then, the sonar suddenly let out an exclamation. (To be continued.) )
