"Report, thirty degrees on the starboard side, a hundred at a distance, noise from the aircraft carrier formation. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info{{}}**" Finally, the sonar was confirmed.
The aircraft carrier formation, at this time, is in the southeast of the Philippines, in fact, when the sonar confirms that it is the noise of the aircraft carrier formation, then there is no other possibility, it must be the American aircraft carrier formation!
This is the first time that the Oscar-2 nuclear submarine has encountered an aircraft carrier formation, just a hundred nautical miles away from itself.
At this distance, the Granite anti-ship missiles carried by the Oscar 2 could have been sent a long time ago, and Colonel Yezhov was very sure in his heart that the anti-ship missiles carried by their nuclear submarines could take out the opponent's aircraft carrier formation from a distance of 500 kilometers.
The 24 Granite SS-N-19 anti-ship missiles on the Oscar, the typical combat mode is to send several shè at intervals, when all of them are lifted into the air, one pilot bomb flies at high altitude in order to better capture the target, and the rest of the missiles follow covertly at low altitude, through the data link, the intercepted data is transmitted to the low-flying missile, and constantly corrects the flight trajectory by itself. During the flight, it will also receive medium-range guidance from helicopters or satellites. If the pilot bomb is destroyed during the flight, a low-flying follower bomb will immediately rise and become a guide bomb until the attack is complete.
So, if he wants to attack the opponent's aircraft carrier now, there is no possibility of escape at all.
But now, he could not attack, so, as a brave Soviet naval submariner, close to the opponent's aircraft carrier formation, to obtain more detailed information, in the course of the confrontation with the opponent's aircraft carrier in the future. will make a big difference.
So, now that the sonar has found the target. Colonel Yezhov made a choice very calmly and followed! Test the reaction of the opposing anti-submarine forces. At the same time, test your submarine to see if the mute can achieve what is stated in the technical manual.
"Collect the shark's tail, right-hand rudder three, twin, forward three, fifty nautical miles later. Twin machines advance one. ”
Advance fifty nautical miles in the direction of the other party, and then slowly get closer.
With Yezhov's order. The nuclear reactor at the rear of {{}} began to run at 70% of the full load, with sufficient thermal energy, so that a large amount of high-temperature and high-pressure steam was generated in the back pipeline, pushing the steam turbine behind, and then driving the two propellers in the tail to sail quickly under 100 meters of water.
In the Cold War, both sides often played this game last year. In the process of ascending, a Soviet nuclear submarine actually collided with an American aircraft carrier in a state of sailing, which made the Americans lose face, and if it was in the war, their aircraft carrier would have been killed long ago.
The K-132 Belsang Rhodes nuclear submarine is very lucky, because now the US aircraft carrier group is taking off and intercepting carrier-based aircraft. The medium-range anti-aircraft missile was preparing for an anti-aircraft operation, but it was pretended to be sailing close to the coastline of a certain major country when it was attacked by the shore-based aviation of the opposing side.
Therefore, in order to take off carrier-based aircraft, the aircraft carrier Kitty Hawk, is now sailing against the wind at full speed.
Carrier-based aircraft, if they want to take off from a deck more than 100 meters long, the difficulties faced are very huge, land-based aircraft need a runway of more than 1,000 meters, but aircraft carriers will certainly not be able to provide such a long distance. {{}}
The Soviet Union chose the way of jumping on the deck, making the bow upturned, increasing the angle of attack when the aircraft took off, and increasing the available lift, while the United States used a steam bomb, a high-temperature and high-pressure steam that pushed the piston of the bomb shè to drive the plane to accelerate forward, so as to artificially increase the speed of the aircraft to meet the requirements of take-off.
However, the current aircraft carrier's bomb shè is still not strong enough, and in later generations, only the C-13-1 and C-13-2 models of the C-13-1 and C-13-2 models newly developed by the United States have enough power to allow the aircraft to take off. The C-13-1 steam bomb has a stroke of 94.6 meters and can eject a 36.3-ton carrier aircraft at a high speed of 185 knots.
Therefore, if you want to make the plane take off, it is not enough to have a bomb, you must think about acceleration, and this acceleration is to let the carrier of the aircraft, the aircraft carrier, accelerate itself.
If the aircraft carrier accelerates, it will give the carrier-based aircraft an initial speed, although the carrier-based aircraft does not move, there is already a wind blowing, this is called deck wind.
For example, the F-14A fighter, in the case of heavy load, will reach a total weight of 31 tons, (they are all hateful immortal birds, each weighing half a ton, and in full state, it can be mounted on six). In this case, the aircraft carrier needs to sail at full speed to 33 knots before it can be safely launched.
What if the speed is not enough? In later generations, when Kuznetsov was equipped with a powerful fighter like the Su-33, it took off from the aircraft carrier, but the advantages of this fighter could not be brought into play, because even if the aircraft carrier flew against the wind at full speed, it was not enough for the fighter to take off with a heavy load, but only to reduce the weight, reduce the bomb and fuel load.
And even if the fighter does not take off with a heavy load, in order for the aircraft to take off safely and without accidents, it is still necessary to sail at full speed.
So, now the Kitty Hawk is running at full strength, which leads to a huge noise from the tail propeller, and this huge noise, through the sea, is actually received by K-132.
Cry wolf.
Putting away the towed array sonar at the tail, the K-132 pounced towards the direction of the Kitty Hawk aircraft carrier formation as if a wolf had seen a lamb, and in order to prevent detection by the other side, the K-132 did not move at full speed. {{}}
The vibration of the entire power plant is fully absorbed by the shock-absorbing base, and then through the sound-absorbing tiles laid on the side, the sound transmitted into the sea water is weakened again, and the large side-inclined propeller of the seven blades is deliberately concealing itself while providing power.
After traveling nearly fifty nautical miles, the K-132 slowed down again, and if the azimuth detection just now was accurate, they would probably have approached the opponent's formation fifty nautical miles at this time, and at this distance, they would be spotted by the Los Angeles-class attack nuclear submarine below the aircraft carrier formation at any time.
Moreover, the K-132 needs to be slow so that it can make its passive sonar work better, determine the exact position of the other party, and maybe use a towed array sonar.
Fifteen nautical miles ahead of the Kitty Hawk, a Los Angeles-class nuclear submarine, the USS BSN689 Baton Ruri, is faithfully carrying out its mission to check for potential threats that may arise in the front of the carrier.
This time the aircraft carrier group, there is only one nuclear submarine in Project 689, this Los Angeles-class submarine, which is a relatively new submarine in service in 81. From the start of construction in 72 to the first entry into service in 76, the Los Angeles-class nuclear submarine has become the main attack nuclear submarine of the US Navy.
The displacement of such a nuclear submarine is "only" seven thousand tons. Compared with the Soviet Union's 10,000-ton nuclear submarines, it is indeed too small, less than half of the Oscar-class, but compared with conventional submarines, and even compared with the United States' own nuclear submarines, it can be regarded as a mainstay.
However, although compared with surface ships, as a black hole in the ocean, submarines attach great importance to their noise reduction xing energy, but at this time the Los Angeles class did not install sound-absorbing tiles, and it was not until the SSN751 "San Juan" that was commissioned in 88 began to install sound-absorbing tiles, and replaced the hull rudder with the first horizontal rudder, which can be retracted when floating in the ice area.
However, although there is no installation of silencing tiles, the noise of the Los Angeles class is only about 110 decibels, thanks to the S6G natural circulation pressurized water reactor, as the main power of the nuclear submarine, the nuclear reactor undertakes the task of heating the boiler, and the energy generated by nuclear fission in the nuclear reactor becomes thermal energy, which heats the coolant and releases it at the same time to heat the water of the secondary circuit, and then sends the coolant back, which is sent back, and it is necessary to rely on the circulating water pump of the first circuit, this circulating water pump, Arguably the largest source of noise for nuclear submarines, apart from the propellers.
This kind of natural circulation pressurized water reactor eliminates the primary pump, which greatly reduces the source of noise.
In later generations, the more perverted reactor was the high-temperature gas-cooled reactor, which relied on nitrogen as the cooling medium of the primary circuit, and had various excellent xing energy. (It is said that this technology is in the advanced position of the world.) )
At this time, the Baton Ruri was searching the surrounding sea area in front of the aircraft carrier, and when the formation turned, it followed the turn, and as a result, it was just blocked by the noise of the aircraft carrier in front of the side sonar detection of the K-132.
As the shark's ribs probed again, the sonar crew finally gained a harvest as K-132's body slowly changed its bearing.
"Report, fifteen degrees to port side, forty nautical miles, there is an American aircraft carrier formation."
This time, the sonar fighters were completely convinced that it was the aircraft carrier formation of the Americans!
After listening carefully for a few more minutes, the sonar soldier continued to report: "Preliminary judgment, it is a Kitty Hawk-class conventionally powered aircraft carrier, which is now sailing at the highest speed, and it is likely to be taking off and landing fighters, with two cruisers and two destroyers on the side, the characteristics are not very obvious, and you need to continue to get close to be able to distinguish, and the opposing submarine has not been found." ”
Suddenly, the sonar soldier said with some surprise: "They are now turning, coming towards our side." ”
At a distance of 40 nautical miles, in fact, the underwater acoustic characteristics of the opposing warship are not very obvious, and it needs to be close to within 20 nautical miles in order to be more able to give full play to the sonar discrimination ability, but now the other side is moving forward at full speed, and this aircraft carrier, which was in service in the 60s, has been repeatedly monitored by the Soviet Navy and intercepted first-hand sound data, and the most heard by sonar soldiers in training is probably its voice, so it was finally identified by sonar soldiers.
