Thomas received a message from the submarine below, and the unknown submarine under the water actually dived to a depth of 500 meters, sailing at a speed of 32 knots. Pen, Fun, Court www.biquge.info{{}}

At this time, the malfunction of the bomb shè had been eliminated, and two S-3 anti-submarine aircraft flew off the deck of the Kitty Hawk one after another.

The S-3 anti-submarine aircraft can have an anti-submarine radius of five hundred nautical miles, so, if they want, they can completely not lose tracking the damn submarine for more than ten hours, and the surface ship can also sail at high speed and track the damn submarine all the time, but what can they do if they catch up? As long as the other party stays in the water and stays in the water below 500 meters and does not come out, they have no way to deal with it.

Five hundred meters! Thomas could almost tell, although he didn't find out the people in the submarine, he could also know that it must be a Soviet submarine!

The Soviets always liked to make this kind of thing, for example, big depth, big speed. The year before last, they had discovered that a Soviet submarine was sailing underwater at a speed of more than 40 knots, which exceeded the speed of all the torpedoes equipped by the US military, that is, even if they fired shè torpedoes, they could not catch up with each other.

This time, Thomas's face was very ugly, he knew that if it was in wartime, I am afraid, the aircraft carrier under his feet would be very dangerous. {{}}

All the members of the formation already knew that the submarine was very close to their formation, and after showing off its might, it blatantly fled.

Definitely can't let it go!

The tail reactor is running at full power and has been sailing for more than three hours.

"Forward one. Slow down navigation, sonar room, detect if there are dangerous targets around. Yezhov gave the order.

Just now in the process of sailing at full power, the noise of the submarine itself is still very loud, and the detection range of the sonar will be greatly reduced, and now, they have come to a hundred nautical miles away. It's time to relax a bit.

As the submariners in the engine room made a cāo, the propellers of the huge submarine began to rotate and slow, and the speed slowly decreased.

"The other party's submarines are starting to slow down." On board the Baton Ruri. Captain Johnson received a report from the sonar room.

"Slow down immediately, reverse at full speed, and be ready to follow the steering. {{}} Don't expose us. He immediately commanded.

For three hours, the Los Angeles-class submarine followed closely behind the unidentified submarine without stopping.

Because, for the intrusion of this unknown submarine, the Los Angeles-class submarine was obviously a mistake, and he had to find out the thief who invaded their water, which could be regarded as saving face. And more importantly, of course, this is clearly a new submarine of the USSR, which he must follow. Record the underwater acoustic features of this submarine, and each one can record it, and at the same time, it must be followed all the way to the military port where the other party is docking, and then determined by the agents. This new submarine, what exactly is it.

So, the Baton Ruri broke away from the aircraft carrier formation and went on a new mission, following the unknown Soviet submarine.

And another Los Angeles-class submarine, a hundred nautical miles east of the aircraft carrier formation, has received new instructions. It will take over its task and protect the underwater safety of the aircraft carrier formation.

During the Cold War, submarines on both sides often carried out such activities underwater, especially the Los Angeles-class attack nuclear submarines, which tracked Soviet ballistic missile submarines, which had long been familiar with it. {{}}

Johnson has always been behind the other party, and here, it is the blind spot of the other party.

For a submarine, there is a main sonar in front and a side sonar on both sides, so approaching from the front or from the side is not a good choice, and it will be discovered by the other party at any time.

Only in the back, because all submarines have huge propellers in the back, so it is impossible to arrange sonar here, and even if it is, it will be disturbed by the noise of the propellers and nothing will be found.

So, similar to fighters, for submarines, there is an absolute blind spot in the back.

The Los Angeles class is also sailing at maximum speed, and in this case, its own noise is also very loud, but because it is following the K-132, its noise will not be received by the K-132, but the huge propeller at the tail of the K-132 is always in front of it (or called the front and bottom), so it sounds very clear.

This kind of underwater high-speed tracking drag racing was carried out like this for more than three hours.

Now, hearing that the other party was slowing down, Johnson immediately ordered to slow down and prevent rushing in front of the other party. {{}}

Slowing down first, they found out that there was a reaction time, so Johnson didn't just let the submarine reduce the power, so that the deceleration was not fast enough, and the propeller had to be reversed, so that the maximum deceleration effect could be obtained to prevent accidents. This technique of underwater tracking is very familiar to every submariner.

For example, although the nuclear submarine has a high speed of 30 knots, under normal circumstances, it sails at a cruising speed of about 10 to 20 knots, so as to avoid exposing its position due to noise, and also avoid various possible failures due to the long-term operation of the reactor at full power. So, although the speed of the Los Angeles class was not fast enough, Johnson did not give up, and just like that, after chasing for three hours, the other party finally began to slow down.

This is still a nuclear submarine, if it is a conventional submarine, only relying on the electricity carried in its own battery, if it sails at full speed underwater, it can consume all the power in an hour, so the conventional submarine will only start at full speed when it occupies a place.

In order to avoid detection, and also because of the distance, the Baton Ruri did not contact the aircraft carrier, which would expose itself to the other side, and now, he is sure, the Soviet submarine did not find itself. {{}}

The sonar soldier listened carefully to make sure there was no movement around him.

"Attention all, left helm." Yezhov followed with another order.

For submarines, the tail is a blind spot, if there is a pursuer in the tail, it is impossible to find it in time, so there is only one way, turn quickly, so that the submarine that follows the tail will be exposed to the side sonar of its own submarine because it cannot follow the turn in time.

Following Yezhov's order, the submariners under the water immediately consciously grasped the objects around them and solidified their bodies.

Then, a huge centrifugal force came, and the submarine of more than 10,000 tons had already begun to turn around.

"The other party is turning left." Inside the Baton Ruri, sonar crews immediately spotted the other side's movements.

"Left full rudder, pay attention, immediately full left rudder, forward one." Johnson ordered.

The Los Angeles class in the back also began to steer, and the underwater tracking was so exciting.

The sonar crew of K-132 listened carefully to the surrounding movements again and confirmed that no suspicious targets were found, and Yezhov very cautiously ordered the right full rudder to search again, because the Los Angeles-class submarine was likely to follow.

However, no target was found.

"Dive up to a hundred meters and continue our original course." Yezhov ordered. They need to head southwest into the Indian Ocean, complete the voyage, and then return to their home port.

"A large surface vessel was found, which was supposed to be a large tanker with no load." The sonar soldier said.

"Keep up." Yezhov immediately thought of a way to follow the tanker underneath, which was the safest option, and the several sea areas through which they were about to pass were equipped with a large number of underwater listening devices arranged by the United States.

Continuing to ascend to thirty meters, the K-132 adjusted its course, and after two nautical miles, the K-132 followed a pot-bellied tanker sailing on the surface.

"Report, sonar signal from unidentified submarine disappears." On board the Los Angeles-class submarine, Johnson heard news that made him very depressed.

How can it be? The sonar signal of that submarine, inexplicably disappeared?

After following the submarine for a distance, Johnson felt more and more that this time they were following a very special submarine, and the noise of the other party was very small!

At the beginning, under water, in front of the aircraft carrier, Johnson's Los Angeles-class submarine, the reason why this unknown submarine was discovered at such a close distance was because the noise of the other party was too small!

For example, in the current Los Angeles class, when the opponent is sailing at a low speed, only a distance of less than five nautical miles can be completely sure to detect it, even if the opponent is sailing at full speed, it can only be sure to find the other party at a distance of 20 nautical miles.

This noise level is almost comparable to that of the Los Angeles class itself, and the noise of Soviet submarines has always been very loud, especially the noise of their propellers, which can be found from fifty nautical miles away.

When did the Soviet Union transform its submarines so quietly?

It is precisely this that arouses Johnson's interest even more, and it must be investigated! Keep up!

However, now that the other party has disappeared again, release the towed array sonar and find the other party again?

Johnson asks the sonars, "Where were they when they finally found out they were gone?" ”

"It's going up all the time, and then, the signal is gone." "However, at the time of the disappearance, there was an oil tanker on the sea, and the noise of the oil tanker was so loud that it drowned out the sound of the target, and when the oil tanker passed, the target disappeared," the sonar soldier said. ”

Tankers on the sea? The other party is rising? A thought flashed through Johnson's mind, the Soviets were so cunning!

"Rise to fifty meters, and we'll follow that tanker!" Johnson said. (To be continued.) If you like this work,. )
