Chapter 1693: Dud rate

The Americans were very depressed. They didn't expect such a thing to happen. The Germans wrote and directed and acted on their own and successfully buckled the basin on the Americans. Moreover, no matter what they said, the Mexicans would not believe it.
This is simply a diplomatic insult.
Just as the White House was irritated by this incident, another US Navy operation was slowly taking place on the other side of the ocean.
Attack the German naval bases and shipyards!
Saint-Nazaire, a town and seaport in Loire-Atlantique, France, is located on the west coast of the French Atlantic Ocean, on the right bank of the French Loire Estuary. It is the outer port of Nantes Port, the fourth largest port in France, and the first most complete port facing the Atlantic Ocean, providing transportation of oil and gas, coal, timber, feed, etc.
On the side of the harbour, there is the largest shipyard in France.
Although the flags flying on the shipyard have become the 4D flag, people are still living a normal life every day. They are working hard to build ships of warships, and at the same time, they have earned a lot of income. Almost all of Europe now uses a unified Euro currency, which greatly facilitates circulation and promotes economic development.
Although it is still at war, the industrial level of France is even more prosperous than before the war. The busy tower cranes are building battleships like building blocks. The sparks of the arc are shining, a new landing ship. , Is gradually showing its prototype.
"This scene is really pleasing to the eye!" At this time, just outside the shipyard, a few nautical miles away, a submarine was showing its periscope, looking at the shipyard like prey.
On the "Black Sea" submarine, Captain Spitt was staring both eyes on the periscope, looking at the busy scene.
This is quite dangerous behavior.
In submarine operations, it is considered dangerous to use periscopes. It is easy to expose yourself and be attacked by the enemy. Therefore, the most common tactics used by submarines in the US Navy are to hide underwater and use sonar to locate. The enemy then attacks. After all, the use of sonar is quite hidden.
As a result, this made them very little. The effect of sonar in this era is obvious. Using sonar to locate and launch torpedoes is almost like a blind person.
Daspit is the bolder submarine commander. He is so bold that he can use the periscope near the sea to look at the other's shipyard. At the same time, he can also choose a good target and wait until the evening. Own torpedo, kill all the targets that have been launched and are outfitting!
I can definitely create a brilliance, and I can complete the tasks that the airplane cannot accomplish.
Captain Daspit turned the periscope, just half a circle, and suddenly there was a burst of joy. In front of him, there was an aircraft carrier undergoing sea trials!
The straight deck and the elevator on the side can't be wrong. It's an aircraft carrier. I didn't expect to encounter a big guy here!
Due to the distance, Captain Daspit did not see clearly. He originally thought it was an attacking aircraft carrier, but in fact, it was only an aircraft carrier of less than 10,000 tons.
At this time, this aircraft carrier is undergoing trial voyages, it is sailing slowly on the sea, and it is simply a good target!
At this time, Captain Daspit hesitated. He thought about the targets in the harbor. There were three or four targets, all of which he could attack. Then he looked at now, there was only one.
If you attack this target, you will surely startle, and the subsequent targets will no longer be able to attack.
It was a difficult choice, but Captain Daspit only hesitated.
What goal is the most valuable? Of course it is an aircraft carrier. Now, since there is an aircraft carrier, I have no reason to give up, even if it is an aircraft carrier that has not yet entered service, it is quite important.
"Attention, left full rudder, ready to seize the launch position, the bow launch tube, load torpedoes, set a depth of three meters." Captain Daspit finally gave the order.
Following his order, the submarine quickly mobilized. They crossed the Atlantic Ocean and came to the coast near France, just to launch an attack. Now that they have a target, they just kill it!
The four launch tubes are loaded with four MK14 torpedoes in sequence, which is the only type of torpedo they can carry.
Closer, closer, the target at this time, neither sea-air nor zigzag course, is simply a target placed on the water, and the position of one's attack is exactly on the side of the opponent, almost nine With a ten-degree angle, there is absolutely no possibility of missing the target.
Daspit already felt that victory was beckoning him. It was easy to sink the ship in front of him. The difficulty was how to escape the subsequent blow. It was too close to the opponent's coastline~EbookFREE.me~ He launched an attack, and after a while, there will definitely be an earth-shattering escape.
Then also brave the area to fight!
"emission!"
With the sound of high-pressure air, one after another torpedoes came out of the water and headed towards the target ahead. Among the entire U.S. Navy's submarine force, dare to use periscopes to observe and command the launch of the captain, I am afraid that only Daspit is alone. Now, he is about to create brilliant results.
His hands trembled, ready to press the shutter.
The periscope is connected to a camera, which is convenient for the captain to take photos when needed, and can also be used as a record of the results of the battle.
At this time, Daspit's eyes were staring at the target closely, and the electric torpedo could not see too much trajectory. Although the propeller at the tail stirred the sea, there would be some bubbles, but there were too few.
He can only look at the target.
One second, two seconds, three seconds...Time is slowly passing by, and Daspit gradually changed from the excitement and excitement to disappointment and puzzlement.
what happened?
He would definitely be able to hit it, and he would not have made a mistake in his calculations, but the other party was unscathed, and there was no torpedo explosion. What happened?
At this moment, the target suddenly emitted thick black smoke, and it had already started to accelerate. A report came from the sonar room and heard the sound of three impacts just now!
Hearing the impact sound indicated that the torpedo had collided with the other ship, but there was no explosion. Why?
It must be a fuze problem!
Daspit was quite speechless. He had heard of the unreliability of this torpedo before. The dud rate exceeded 70%, but he did not expect his luck to be so bad. The first time he fired, the dud rate was actually hundred percent!
