Chapter 762 Maritime Interests

As a secret nuclear submarine, it was built on a special slipway next to the Karachi shipyard, and a huge tent was erected above the slipway to prevent detection by reconnaissance satellites in space, and the construction of the hull, launching and outfitting the ship, and finally the sea trials were all carried out in secret.

In fact, almost all nuclear submarines in various countries are manufactured in this way, and the surrounding guards are tightly guarded to prevent outsiders from peeping.

This nuclear submarine, which was launched in 91 years, as the first nuclear submarine, continued to conduct sea trials of various systems, and also replaced some new equipment, which led to slow progress, until now, finally ended the sea trials and successfully entered the sequence of naval submarine forces.

The submarine base, on the side of the dock of the Karachi Shipyard Military Port, has a huge cavern built here, and the waterway is connected to the sea, which is specially reserved for the submarine force.

Such a submarine base was also built in the style of the Chinese submarine base, and now, Mhammad has come to the submarine base and visited his first nuclear submarine with great interest.

The cave was brightly lit, the sea water in the ballast tanks was removed, and the submarine was in a floating state.

The whole body is covered with sound-absorbing tiles, and the seven-bladed large side-oblique propeller at the tail is shining.

With a displacement of more than 6,000 tons, compared to the previous diesel-electric submarines of one or two thousand tons, this is indeed a big guy.

Submariners dressed in summer sailor suits stand in two rows next to each other and are inspected by Mhammad.

"Dear soldiers, the elites of the Pakistan Navy, behind you is the pride of our Pakistan Navy, nuclear-powered attack submarines! You are underwater warriors and warriors guarding our Pakistan, and I hope that you will be able to master the operation of this nuclear submarine as soon as possible and carry forward the situation without fear of hardship. Second, the spirit of not being afraid of death, guarding our Pakistani maritime frontier well, and being the underwater protector of our aircraft carrier formation! ”

The role of nuclear submarines is to protect the underwater safety of one's own aircraft carrier group and prevent the enemy's nuclear submarines from attacking. As for accompanying missile nuclear submarines, that's pure nonsense.

Ballistic missile nuclear submarines. It also has a strong underwater confrontation capability, there is no need to attack the protection of nuclear submarines at all, under water, it is a single submarine activity, if two ships sail together, it is just underwater communication, it is already an unsolvable problem, relying on sonar contact, it is simply exposing their own targets. And there is no second way except sonar.

After the nuclear submarine is put into service, Pakistan has summed up all kinds of technical experience, and at the same time, a large number of old nuclear submarine experts have come to join in to jointly develop newer nuclear submarines and ballistic missile nuclear submarine technology. It is also necessary to make a breakthrough in the future.

The sailors were in high spirits, they were all turned from diesel-electric submarines. They are confident that they can master this advanced submarine.

"Let's go, I'll go in and have a look." After Mhammad finished speaking, he spoke to the commander of the navy next to him.

The commander of the Navy was stunned, although this nuclear submarine is absolutely safe, but. If there is a nuclear radiation or something, won't it affect the president's health?

He instinctively wanted to stop, but Mhammad obviously didn't think about it, and he had already stepped into the interior of the submarine.

Submarines made of steel. The interior is also absolutely rough, all kinds of pipelines are densely packed, Mhammad inspected the torpedo room forward, looked at the introduction of completely automatic torpedo loading equipment made in France, far better than Huaxia's own local method of loading with hoists and other methods, and then saw the modern electronic system in the operation room, and kept nodding.

Finally, when he arrived at the power room in the back, Mhammad inquired in detail about the protection against nuclear radiation and told the soldiers to pay attention to safety, and then climbed out.

In addition to the combat effectiveness, the president is also concerned about the safety of the submariners! This made every soldier's heart warm.

After inspecting the nuclear submarine, Mhammad went to the Karachi shipyard to observe his own aircraft carrier.

The final outfitting stage is being carried out in an orderly manner, on the deck, four steam catapults have been installed in place, which can carry out the maximum weight catapult take-off of four Tomcats at the same time, and the efficiency of this aircraft carrier can be equivalent to three Endeavours.

On the bridge, the four-sided phased array radars are being hoisted at this time, and these radars are the radars of Pakistan's self-produced Friendship Shield system, which can give this warship a powerful air search capability, and at the same time, the integrated combat system can also assign interception targets to other warships that do not have the Friendship Shield system.

"The hangar below us was designed with our new fighter jets in mind at the beginning, and a thermostatic hangar was prepared, and if necessary, it could also carry the latest fighters of a squadron." Standing on the wide flight deck, Mhammad listened to the head of the Karachi shipyard.

The latest fighter being developed by Pakistan is the stealth cat, the prototype of this fighter, the Tomcat fighter, which was originally a carrier-based fighter of the navy, so it has the ability to go on board the ship congenitally.

When Pakistan was developing it, it was also divided into two versions, the version used by the Air Force, which canceled the landing hook and reduced the weight of the airframe, and the first batch of aircraft to enter the test flight team was this kind of aircraft.

After that, Pakistan will also develop a version for the navy, focusing on strengthening the fuselage, landing gear, increasing the landing hook, increasing the anti-corrosion treatment at sea, etc., which will increase the weight of the navy's version, so it can only wait for the new engine to be successfully developed and increase the thrust to make up for the performance decline caused by the increase in the weight of the fuselage.

Mhammad nodded: "This aircraft carrier is a symbol of the rise of our Pakistani power, we must complete the construction of this aircraft carrier with quality and quantity, and strive to enter the naval sequence as soon as possible." ”

Mhammad is full of confidence in this aircraft carrier, and Pakistan has also become the second only country in the United States that can build aircraft carriers with a displacement of more than 60,000 tons! It has surpassed a lot of old capitalist countries!

It's a pity, that Makarov is still in Ukraine, it seems that he still has illusions, hoping that the Varyag will continue to be built successfully, but it's a pity that he has to wait another year or two before he can dig that old guy over.

In the past, Mhammad had confidence in the collapse of the Soviet Union and hoped to get the Varyag to Pakistan, but now that Pakistan has been able to build its own aircraft carrier, Mhammad is no longer enthusiastic about the Varyag.

The Varyag uses a leaping deck, and the front of the hull is still an anti-ship missile, resulting in a limited number of carriers, and if it gets to Pakistan, it will have to be dismantled in front and operated on a large scale, which is almost the same as a newly-built warship.

Therefore, Mhammad just introduced subsystems, such as the catapult that the Soviets were testing, and Mhammad packaged it back. For example, anti-ship missiles with a range of more than 500 kilometers were also secretly brought back a few and prepared to be imitated.

Similarly, the collapse of the Soviet Union led to the stagnation of a series of warships under construction at those shipyards, and the Dreadnought and Modern classes, which were in a semi-finished state, were abandoned on the slipway.

Those warships, which retain the characteristics of the Soviet era, have no stealth capabilities, complex electronics, and various antennas flood the entire bridge, at this time Pakistan can already build its own Aegis warships, and also imitate supersonic anti-ship missiles, for these warships, it is not so enthusiastic.

If the price is right, Pakistan can consider buying it in a way that is close to collecting scrap iron, and if it costs hundreds of millions of dollars, then forget it.

Mhammad knew in his heart that the fate of those warships, some of them, feared that they would enter the Chinese Navy, and these would pose no threat to Pakistan.

By the time he had finished visiting the aircraft carrier, it was already dark, and Mhammad was at the naval headquarters in Karachi, having dinner with naval officials.

At this time, Pakistan's naval area of activity was not limited to the Arabian Sea, but the entire Indian Ocean was the area of activity of the Pakistan Navy, all the way to the Andaman Islands in the east.

"We, the Navy, must be prepared." Sitting at the dinner table, Mhammad said to the naval officers below: "The entire Indian Ocean is related to our maritime rights and interests of Pakistan, and our power is not strong enough. ”

"Yes." The Navy officers replied in unison.

Before Mhammad became president, the Pakistan Navy was only a nearshore navy, but now, it has developed into an ocean-going navy with aircraft carriers, and every naval officer is full of admiration for Mhammad.

"By the way, the Americans to the west, what's been going on lately?" Mhammad said.

"Recently, the U.S. military supply ships in Gwadar Port have been transporting supplies, and we suspect that the U.S. military is planning some large-scale military operation." This was stated by the Chief of Staff of the Navy, Zahar.

The Americans plan a large-scale military operation? Mhammad suddenly felt his eyelids begin to beat, no, the Americans are afraid that they will have to make new moves!

"Order our troops in Gwadar Port, be vigilant and be ready for the unexpected!" Mhammad said: "Immediately pass through the secret line and contact Shaw!" ”

Although the port of Gwadar was leased to the Americans, Pakistan still has air defense units stationed there to help the Americans defend their vital areas and intercept ballistic missiles fired by Iran at any time.

Mhammad keenly felt that the elder Bush was definitely going to make a big move! Taking advantage of the collapse of the Soviet Union, it is time to completely solve the Iranian problem! The Americans must not be allowed to succeed easily! (To be continued.) )
