Like the "Thornfish", the "return" from the western Pacific also has the "echinoderm."

Class 2 electric submarines and Class 2 attack nuclear submarines, which had previously operated in the East and Yellow Seas, turned to the waters near Jeju Island at night to carry out "free hunting" missions. 【No pop-up novel network】『bubble book』

In addition to the six submarines that accompanied the carrier battle group, the other six submarines all performed the same hunting mission.

The force is not much, but it is strong enough.

As the best submarine captain in the Republic, Hua Jianfeng is very aware of the characteristics of submarine warfare. It is not the quantity that determines the victory or defeat of the submarine, but the quality. 1 submarine with advanced performance and commanded by a talented captain is worthy of 5 submarines with mediocre performance and commanded by an average captain. In the Fourth Indo-Pakistani War, the "Killer Whale" commanded by Du Xinghua killed three Scorpio-class conventional submarines of the Indian Navy in one go; In the East China Sea War, Hua Jianfeng, Du Xinghua, Liu Haifeng and others also staged a good show of encircling and suppressing Japanese conventional submarines.

Although submarines are called "deep-sea assassins", their activities still have their own rules.

In naval warfare, it is impossible for submarines to attack surface warships and other submarines at will, so they must choose a favorable ambush location, grasp the best time to attack, and use the most effective means to attack. These characteristics are the "limitations" of submarines. The waters around Jeju Island are not new to the Navy of the Republic, and there are not many suitable locations for submarine ambushes. Whether it is a submarine of the Republic Navy or a submarine of the South Korean Navy, they have to go to the ambush site. In this way, as long as several submarines preemptively enter the ambush site, they can prevent South Korean submarines from attacking the aircraft carrier battle group.

The most effective weapon for submarine attacks on surface warships is not missiles, but torpedoes!

In terms of ammunition carrying capacity, submarines are the worst ships, and even the worst weapons delivery platforms. Even the "Seawolf" class, which has the strongest bomb-carrying capacity, can only carry multiple torpedoes and missiles, while a warship with the same displacement can carry hundreds of missiles, and a bomber can carry more than 1C missiles. Because the key to the survival of submarines is "concealment", submarines rarely dispatch in groups during operations, and even in the "wolf pack tactics", submarines also move alone, and only rush to the ambush area after receiving the news. As a result, submarines cannot compensate for the lack of firepower with the number of troops like other combat platforms. Even the Oscar-class cruise missile submarines, designed specifically to deal with US aircraft carriers, can fire up to 24 anti-ship missiles at targets at a time. For a fleet with powerful anti-aircraft and anti-missile capabilities, it is not difficult to intercept 24 anti-ship missiles at the same time.

In addition to being inefficient and easy to intercept, missiles will also expose the submarine's whereabouts after being fired.

Before the missile hits the target. Anti-submarine patrol planes and anti-submarine helicopters will reach the submarine. Drop sonar buoys with anti-submarine torpedoes. Sink the submarine!

In real combat. No captain will use anti-ship missiles first.

In general. The submarine first sneaked up with a torpedo. It is determined that the target loses the ability to fight back. There is no threat in the vicinity. Only then will the final blow be carried out with missiles on the premise that the price of torpedoes far exceeds that of missiles.

And so it goes. The submarine must try to get as close as possible to the target of the sneak attack.

After Lin Xiaolei returned to the Navy Headquarters. The generals made a division of labor. Zhang Weichang is responsible for coordinating the command. Dou Haikun was in charge of air defense operations. Mu Qingyun is in charge of anti-ship and support operations. Hua Jianfeng is responsible for anti-submarine and logistical support.

The 3 aircraft carriers were organized into an aircraft carrier battle group. The offensive and defensive strength has been greatly enhanced.

Counting the additional 6 HJ2000B early warning aircraft, there are a total of 18 early warning aircraft in the fleet, which can simultaneously carry out 24-hour uninterrupted air defense alert patrols in two key directions during normal use, and can continue patrolling in the third direction for 12 hours if necessary. With HJ2000B detection capability, even if it hovers over the fleet, it can see combat aircraft 5C kilometers away, stealth planes 250 meters away, and sea-skimming missiles flying 150 kilometers away, providing the fleet with an air defense warning time of 1C to 25 minutes. If the patrol area is expanded, the air defense warning time can be increased to 25 bells, so that the three aircraft carriers can release at least 30 air defense fighters during this period to effectively intercept incoming targets.

Unlike the aircraft carrier "Republic", 3 aircraft carriers of the "Huaxia" class are not equipped with J13B fighters.

Each carrier-based aviation wing has 3 fighter groups, 1 group is armed with 24J-15BB fighters, and 2 groups are equipped with J-15BA fighters.

The J15BB is an "enhanced air defense type" of the J15B, equipped with a more powerful fire control radar, improved bay design, can carry 6 interceptor missiles and 2 combat missiles, can carry more anti-aircraft missiles on the wing hardpoints if necessary, use more lightweight composite materials and reduce unnecessary ground-to-sea attack equipment, which can be installed at any time if necessary, so that it can obtain better maneuverability. Although the air combat capability of the J15BB is not as good as that of the J14B of the HNA and the J14A of the Air Force, the air combat capability surpasses the FA18F and F35C of the United States, the Rafale M3 of France, and the Su43 of Russia, and is the best carrier-based air defense fighter in the world.

The J15BA is a model on the J15B that enhances its naval attack capability according to the needs of carrier-based aviation. In order to maximize the combat efficiency of carrier-based aviation, J15B

The versatility of the 5BB reached 85%, and in addition to the fact that a large number of materials were not mined in order to reduce costs, the J15BA was not very different from the J15BB in other respects, and it was still capable of performing anti-aircraft combat missions if necessary.

The use of a single type of carrier-based fighter has very obvious advantages for logistical support.

Although the displacement of the "Huaxia" class is about 10,000 tons less than that of the "Ford" class, the carrying capacity of the aircraft under normal conditions is comparable to that of the "Ford" class. In addition to the use of a smaller fusion reactor as the main power of the "Huaxia" class, the main thing is to use a single type of fighter to reduce the space occupied by maintenance equipment.

Under normal circumstances, the "Huaxia" class carrier-based aviation wing has a total of six groups, including three fighter groups, one early warning aircraft group, one transport helicopter group, and one antisubmarine helicopter group, carrying 72 fighters, early warning aircraft, large helicopters, and six antisubmarine helicopters, totaling 86 combat aircraft.

Compared with the "Ford" class, the "Huaxia" class, in addition to the use of twin ship islands, has only three catapults.

In fact, the sortie capability of the "Huaxia" class aircraft carrier is no worse than that of the "Ford" class, mainly because the "Huaxia" class uses a more advanced electromagnetic catapult powered by a 12-stage composite battery, and the "Ford" class still uses a ground-based electromagnetic catapult powered by the "flywheel power reserve system" from the 5th stage and uses a 6-stage composite battery to power the machine. Among the three catapults of the "Huaxia" class, except for the one located at the nose of the beveled deck, which is used to catapult early warning aircraft, which catapults one for every 30 catapults, the two catapults located on the take-off deck can catapult carrier-based fighters weighing less than 24 tons at a rate of 20 each. If all 3 catapults catapult fighters, it can catapult 8 fighters in 1 minute. The maximum ejection speed of the "Ford" class is also 8 per minute!

The number of fighters that can be dispatched at one time is not entirely determined by the speed of ejection.

Because it takes different times for fighters to perform different tasks, and the remaining fuel when returning to home is also different, the "mission cycle", "recovery efficiency", and "combat radius of the fighter" also have a significant impact on the sortie ability of the aircraft carrier.

In air defense operations, the "mission" period of a fighter is generally 90 minutes, and the remaining fuel is less than 15.

The "recovery efficiency" of the "Huaxia" class aircraft carrier is 1 aircraft per minute. From this it can be calculated that when performing air defense combat missions, an aircraft carrier will carry out a maximum of 36 fighters in 3 batches, or 24 fighters in one batch. If this number is exceeded, the fighters must be allowed to land on other aircraft carriers or refuel in the air to prolong the time the fighters stay in the air. The situation with the "Ford" class is not much different, when performing air defense combat missions, a maximum of 36 fighters are sorted, or 24 fighters are dispatched at the fastest speed.

It can be seen from this that the number of carrier-based air defense fighters carried by an aircraft carrier is basically determined by the maximum sortie capacity.

If you can't release fighters in an air defense operation, even if you carry more air defense fighters, it won't help.

In terms of combat capability, the "Huaxia" class is on par with the "Ford" class. According to the standards of the US military, an aircraft carrier battle group composed of three "Huaxia" class aircraft carriers can defeat the air defense system of a medium-sized country within 24 hours and the national defense force of a medium-sized country within seven days.

The strength of the air battle group is not only the aircraft carriers, but also the large number of escort warships.

An aircraft carrier battle group generally has 1 to 3 air defense destroyer cruisers, 2 to 3 multipurpose destroyer frigates, 2 to 3 anti-submarine frigate destroyers and 1 to 2 attack nuclear submarines. According to the combat configuration of the Navy of the Republic, one "Huaxia" class aircraft carrier battle group has one air defense cruiser, three multipurpose destroyers focus on air defense and anti-submarine, and anti-submarine frigates have point air defense capabilities and two "nuclear hybrid submarines".

3. The number of escort warships is not proportionately growing in the joint operation of 3 aircraft carriers.

In the case of a medium threat, ensuring the safety of the aircraft carrier requires only 2 air defense cruisers, 6 multipurpose destroyers, anti-submarine frigates with 3 submarines. "Redundant" warships can form a "support fleet" and be used to carry out other combat missions, including escort operations.

When the site was reorganized, Zhang Weichang transferred some warships to form a "support team" according to this standard.

Too many warships crowded together are easy targets, because the ROK Air Force has lost most of its combat capability, and the ROK Navy is too "small", so there is no need to "waste" the combat power of the fleet.

The most difficult task remains anti-submarine warfare.

The South Korean Navy does not have aircraft carriers, and there are not many fighters left. Only one AIP conventional submarine imported from Germany and France was able to really threaten the fleet of the Republic. In particular, those German-built 2211-class submarines, if they are allowed to get close to the aircraft carrier battle group, will pose a mortal threat to the aircraft carrier!
