927 Battle of Jutland (2)
Above the Skagerak Strait, the outer duty frigate of the Fourth Task Force of the Datang Navy is on a vigilance mission. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 The Frost is the 76th ship of the Frost-class missile frigates, after Hu Fakui came to power to increase the Navy's ship-building efforts, the original plan to complete the Frost-class construction plan in 1820 has actually been completed last year, a total of 116 Frost-class ships are widely used in the Datang fleet, becoming the main ship of the Datang Navy's anti-submarine forces.
Although the development speed of the Datang Navy is fast, the truly all-round naval ships are still the next generation of Liu Renjing-class missile destroyers, whether it is the Bainan-class or the Baishuang-class in service, they all have their own focuses, not to mention those warships converted from cruisers. The Bainan-class destroyers are more anti-aircraft and anti-ship, while the white-frost-class frigates are more anti-submarine. The modified New York class and Guangzhou class are also divided into two categories: air defense and anti-submarine.
On the Frost, the sonar officer in the CIC reported to the captain in a loud voice: "Report to the captain, our sonar has found an anomalous target in the edge of the first convergence area, and it is judged to be an enemy submarine. ”
Captain Liu Ze is a fat man who looks simple and cute, with a two-fold mustache, which looks particularly funny, in the eyes of his naval colleagues, Liu Ze is a joke, but he always smiles good-natured and does not comment.
Liu Ze sat on the captain's seat and confirmed again: "Are you sure?" ”
The sonar officer did not hesitate, and said: "That's right, the noise signature of the German submarine is somewhat similar to the Navy's early Snapper class, and the decibel number is higher, and this signal is slowly moving northwest at a speed of 4 knots, probably for reconnaissance of our intelligence." ”
Liu Ze bowed his head, still speaking innocently, and said, "Let our osprey take off." ”
With a full load displacement of 4,260 tons, the White Frost class is the largest frigate ever built by the Datang Navy, and although various electronic equipment takes up a lot of hull space, a hangar large enough to accommodate two medium-sized anti-submarine helicopters has been built at the rear. The superstructure of the white frost class is mainly made of aluminum alloy, and the degree of modularity is relatively high, which basically saves money and cuts costs, which makes the white frost class low cost, short construction period, and convenient for a large number of construction, so the Datang Navy has built hundreds of such anti-submarine ships in one go. Cheap does not mean that it is not easy to use, the White Frost class has excellent anti-submarine capabilities, and is not even inferior to the Guangzhou-class anti-submarine cruisers, even the helicopter Guangzhou class can only carry one, and the White Frost class is enough to carry two.
Under normal circumstances, frigates will not keep helicopters cruising in the air, and only in wartime will helicopters attack, after all, the endurance of helicopters is not comparable to that of maritime patrol aircraft and fixed-wing anti-submarine aircraft.
The Datang Red Eagle, which was built on the prototype of the Z-20 in the plane, and the HNA version is the Z-20H, which also became the Osprey and is a first-class anti-submarine weapon.
An anti-submarine helicopter flew up to the position of the enemy submarine shown on the sonar and dropped the sonar buoy, and the sonar officer of the Frost quipped: "The German submarine has come to us like a gong and a drum." ”
Without saying a word, the Osprey helicopter immediately dropped a light anti-submarine torpedo, although this torpedo was small and not very powerful, but it was a guided weapon anyway, and went straight to the discovered U-boat. Both torpedoes hit the U-boat, and the Germans were shocked. In order to avoid being discovered by the Datang Navy, they kept their actions under the water, but they were still discovered by the Datang Navy.
The light torpedo, although light, easily poked two holes, and after the submarine in the water was flooded, the fate was basically determined. Although the German U-boat learned from Master Datang to build a watertight cabin, the speed of water inflow was too fast, and even if a few cabins were abandoned, there was no way to change the fate of the submarine that finally sank to the bottom of the sea.
Liu Ze grinned, but he couldn't see any complacency. He reported his results to the captain of the fleet, Lin Huansheng, and Lin Huansheng encouraged him: "Yes, this is the first result achieved by our Datang Navy. ”
Liu Ze said: "Commander, you have an overreputation, performing anti-submarine missions in the strait is even less difficult than our usual training, if you put something over, then we will stay in the academy in vain." ”
What Liu Ze said was the truth, Lin Huansheng's plan to lure the enemy was actually not an arbitrary choice. Although the technology of British and German submarines is very old, no matter how old the technology is, it may be effective in the case of verification. Like the miniature submarines of the North Koreans in the 21st century, they can cause problems for technologically advanced South Koreans. In the formation of formations in the strait, the Datang Navy has the following advantages. The water depth in the Skagerrak Strait and the surrounding waters of the North Sea is actually very shallow, and it is well known that the deeper a submarine dives, the more difficult it is to be detected. At the same time, although the Skagerak Strait is wider than other straits, it is still a sea area about 50 kilometers to 150 kilometers wide, which greatly reduces the scope of the Datang anti-submarine fleet to perform its tasks, making it easier for the anti-submarine ships of the Datang Navy to detect enemy submarines.
This is the method used by Lin Huansheng - to use the choice of battlefield to increase the advantage of his own weapons and limit the use of enemy weapons.
In less than ten minutes, the Frost Bully once again discovered an enemy target, this time the enemy was even more unlucky, the U-boat had a very limited diving time, and had to float up frequently to ventilate. And when the submarine surfaced for ventilation, it had already been discovered by the towed sonar of the Frost.
Liu Ze directly ordered the Frost to move closer to the submarine this time, obviously the Frost's rapid advance startled the submarine, and the Germans hurriedly wanted to dive urgently to avoid the pursuit of the Tang people, but the reason why Liu Ze wanted to approach was mainly to bring his anti-submarine weapons into range.
There is a "shuttle" anti-submarine missile launcher on the Frost, with a range of 20 kilometers, which can be said to be the latest and most effective anti-submarine weapon in Datang. The range of the torpedoes on the U-boat was only a little over 10 kilometers, and it was obviously impossible to launch at this time, not to mention that the Frost was coming from the side of the submarine, and it was difficult for the submarine to turn on the spot and turn the torpedo tubes head and tail towards the Frost.
So, she's just a target for the Frost Bullying.
The sudden launch of the pike anti-submarine missile, also known as the rocket-assisted torpedo, rushes at the enemy at a very high speed, and it can be much more powerful than the light anti-submarine torpedo carried by a helicopter. The shuttle directly cut the yacht in half, and the violent explosion even killed many German submariners on the spot.
The Frost Bully was like a man who couldn't open it, suppressing the U-boats who tried to spy on the military. (To be continued.) )
