You must know that this is the flagship of the Amercan Navy series, equipped with 24 "Trident" IID5 submarine-launched ballistic missile launchers.
Each of this ballistic missile launch system can carry 12 MK-5 reentry vehicles and 12 W88 thermonuclear warheads with an equivalent of 475,000 tons, with a range of 11,000 kilometers.
This means that if only one "Ohio-class" strategic missile nuclear submarine launches all 24 "Trident" IID5 missiles, it can convert 288 cities and targets into radioactive dust within 30 minutes.
Even in peacetime, nuclear submarines often act alone, cruising in the oceans, like a ghost.
It does not need an formation to escort, because in peacetime, there are no people who do not have long eyes to fight this thing. Attacking this thing is equivalent to a declaration of war.
In the case of China’s nuclear submarines, the organization occupied is directly one division and only accepts orders from the highest military headquarters.
Of course, since nuclear submarines have been in service, there are not a few nuclear submarines that have sunk due to accidents, and none of them have been sunk.
If any nuclear submarine is sunk, it will be subject to nuclear retaliation by the other side regardless of any means. No one can bear this responsibility.
Unless it is because of an accident.
At this time, the Ohio-class strategic nuclear submarine "Nautilus" is turning on the sonar device at full power to scan the ocean surface.
The dozen or so underwater sound detection devices on the submarine are all turned on, mainly AN/BQQ-6 type sonar. In addition to scanning the surface, they are also monitoring the surrounding movement in real time.
This type of sonar is mainly active, with a detection range of 5-10 nautical miles, so even the information on the seabed can be clearly scanned by them.
"Sir, we found a very long cable on the sea floor. According to the information, the nearby area is an active volcano on the sea floor. Electromagnetic interference is very strong.
No one would lay a submarine cable in such a place, and the unknown object just followed this cable. "At this time in the sonar room, a monitor printed out the scanned seabed information map and handed it to the captain.
Through this light green seabed sonar scan, the captain saw the picture highlighted in dark green at a glance.
"Look along this cable, maybe there will be something special." The captain also frowned at this time, and said to the others.
"Sir, if we do this, we will deviate from the normal cruising course." At this time someone said again.
"Don't worry, the South Pacific is also our third alternate cruise route, ascending to a water depth of 200 meters, and reporting our position to the Ministry of Defense."
The captain beckoned and spoke to the communicator on the side.
"Good sir!" The communications soldier led away.
Soon, the interior of the submarine became busy.
At this time, the captain of the submarine also walked to the upper command room of the submarine and began to conduct command in an orderly manner.
At the same time, he and the deputy captain entered a short command in their respective control positions.
"Preparing to start floating, the water is 200 meters deep."
"Preparing to pump water, the drain has been opened and sea water is being discharged."
"The engine room is in place, start the engine at half power and start the ascent procedure."
.....
Everyone was going ascending in an orderly manner, and when they were about to rise to a depth of 200 meters, they used long-wave communication devices to communicate with the Supreme Command.
Ordinary electromagnetic waves, the shorter the wavelength, the greater the loss, because the density of water is 800 times that of air, and the electromagnetic waves become heat as soon as they are emitted.
However, ultra-long waves can solve this problem. If you use ultra-long waves, you can receive signals from shore stations at a depth of 300 meters to avoid being detected by satellites and enemy aircraft.
However, the communication capability of the ultra-long wave is limited, and sometimes a string of characters even needs to be transmitted for tens of minutes. For them cruising silently, they will not be exposed to the surface of the water, and the use of ultra-long wave communication in the sea can avoid exposure to the greatest possible extent.
"According to the sonar scan, this long cable extends from the South China Sea. The unknown underwater object that reaches 300 knots underwater also comes from the South China Sea. David, I really don’t understand what these Chinese people are doing. what."
At this time, the deputy captain felt the submarine continue to rise, and turned his head to look at the captain on the side.
"Whatever it is, Vinylon, we must check it out. When we rise to a high altitude, we will contact the headquarters immediately and ask them to send an aircraft carrier fleet to search the vicinity.
This is the high seas area. They have no reason to stop us. Then they admit it and forget it. If they don't admit it, we will send a salvage boat.
Retrieve everything on the bottom of the sea to see what it is that can run underwater at a speed of 300 knots. "The captain is called Vinylon, and this middle-aged man in his forties is also determined to win.
You must know that they are nuclear submarines, basically walking sideways in the high seas ~ EbookFREE.me ~ no one dares to move them at all, because moving them is equivalent to declaring war and preparing to withstand nuclear retaliation.
If it is in the sea, the fastest speed is a torpedo called "supercavitation".
When the moving speed of an object in the water exceeds 100 knots, a strange water vapor bubble will be formed in the back, thereby producing a "supercavitation" fluid, a mechanical effect.
This kind of torpedo hits underwater, basically one hit with one shot, but the fly in the ointment is that this kind of torpedo cannot turn at all.
In other words, the possibility of a supercavitating torpedo was also ruled out by them, because the sonar source they heard from 6 nautical miles away would turn.
They desperately want to know what this unknown underwater object is.
At the same time, they have ascended to a depth of 390 meters. If they ascend another 90 meters, they can contact their headquarters through the ultra-long wave communication device.
"Alarm, alarm, alarm, an unknown object is approaching quickly."
However, just as they were doing this wishful thinking, dozens of unknown signals suddenly appeared on the sonar chart displayed in the command room.
"Boom boom boom"
The moving speed of these unknown signals was very fast, and even less than five seconds after being displayed on the sonar, they shot directly at them.
They could clearly hear something that seemed to hit the shell of the submarine. At the same time, there was a violent vibration inside the submarine.
It was the first time that its internal personnel encountered such a strange thing, as if their submarine hit the bottom of an iceberg.
However, it is summer now, and here is the warm South Pacific, there is no such thing as an iceberg.
