The status and position of the island country determines that they will inevitably regard the Pacific as their battlefield. The navy of the island country also needs to be able to gallop across the Pacific. Unfortunately, the power of the island country is still not strong enough. Therefore, they build large submarines. Also to be able to make a difference in the Pacific.
Of course, the facts in history can only show that the submarine forces of the island country existed like scum and had no record. At any rate, the surface ships of the navy also brought out the Pearl Harbor incident, which made the island country as excited as a chicken blood. One or two years.
The submarines of the island nations do nothing.
This is also related to their thinking. Now, German submarines have begun to pay attention to underwater speed, so that the submarine has the most suitable underwater size, which has led to the underwater speed exceeding the water speed.
However, the island country’s submarines still spend most of their time on the water.
For example, now, this Yi-74 has a water speed of 23 knots, which is quite strong, but the underwater speed is only 8.2 knots. At the same time, when it enters the water, even if it travels at a speed of 3 knots, it is only 65. Voyage in the sea.
These shortcomings are destined that it can only keep sailing on the water at ordinary times, and only dive when attacking. This is the biggest difference from German submarines. Now, German submarines can only float up at night. Most of the time, it is in the snorkel state.
This time, they have successfully completed their mission. They could go out around the clock and return slowly. However, recently the US Navy in the Pacific suddenly went crazy looking for submarines at sea. In order to prevent accidental injury, the base camp asked them to quickly Return to sail, stay away from right and wrong.
In this way, they would not be able to sail underwater with batteries at low speeds. They floated to the surface and used diesel engines to operate at a high speed of more than 20 knots, and then returned in a few days.
Saburo stood on the control tower, observing the sky, and soon, he found a black spot in the distance, flying towards him quickly!
"Report, found a suspicious target." Saburo shouted down.
"Continue to observe." The captain said flatly.
Now, oneself is on the voyage back, and it is floating, even if it finds some suspicious target, can it still attack oneself?
"Yes." Saburo continued to open his eyes, looking at the target in the distant sky, and soon he knew it was an American seaplane!
Before the advent of radar, reconnaissance/observation aircraft played the role of the eye of the fleet. These aircraft deployed on coastal bases or ships could search hundreds of miles of water in the air and monitor the actions of enemy submarines and surface ships. Your own warship observes the impact point, implements shipwreck rescue, etc.
The Chance-Water Company, established in 1917, is the main manufacturer of the U.S. Navy's water observation aircraft. It produces a series of pirate carrier-based biplanes, which are equipped on American cruisers, destroyers and other warships.
And now, they have developed the latest model, the single-wing OS2U-1 Kingfisher reconnaissance aircraft, which was designed and manufactured in 37 years, and gradually delivered to the US Navy in 38 years.
Pilot Chris, sitting in the front seat, and behind him, in the wide-view cockpit, is his companion Schroeder, who serves as a tail guard as well as a radio operator and observer.
The 450-horsepower Pu-Hui R-0985-48 star-shaped air-cooled engine in front is running rumblingly, driving the reconnaissance plane to fly over the sea. At the same time, the eyes of the two are constantly throwing toward the sea. .
Half an hour ago, they were ejected from the mothership Lawrence-Taylor destroyer. Their mission was very clear, which was to search for German submarines on the sea!
A few days ago, an American freighter was destroyed by an unknown target while crossing the Pacific Ocean. Almost all the facts have been determined that it was the Germans. Now they need to pull out the German submarine. Then sink them!
Let the Germans know that the Pacific is not their stage!
However, this is also very difficult. After all, they have already got the exact news that the German submarines are equipped with snorkels, which means that they can't see the German submarine floating on the sea at all, only to see It's just a small snorkel.
If the time is delayed for another year or two, waiting for the development of radar technology and underwater listening technology, so that they can more easily find the German submarine, and now, they do not have a surface search radar to scan the snorkel on the sea, they You can only use your own eyes!
They fly very low, while flying, while constantly searching the sea surface. This is definitely a needle in a haystack. At the same time, there are more than a dozen teams, just like them, searching aimlessly, hoping to find the target.
Suddenly, Chris in front of him was excited: "Ahead, I found a submarine floating on the sea!"
As a pilot, you must have a pair of sharp eyes. When he spotted the submarine over there, he was extremely excited. He couldn't find any place to break through his iron shoes, and it was all effortless!
Living in the small space of a submarine for a long time, smelling the volatile diesel in the air, listening to the continuous engine noise, it is easy for the submarine soldiers to suffer from various psychological obstacles, especially the German submarine, They must be more lonely when they come over half of the earth. It is perfectly possible to float up and blow the sea breeze under safe conditions.
I was finally caught by myself!
He pushed the throttle lever, the engine in front burst out with a louder roar, and flew toward the opponent at the highest power state.
"What flag are they flying?" After flying for a few kilometers, I could see more clearly. I could see the flag flying high in the wind, but I couldn't see what it was.
Schroeder in the back seat put his head out, facing the airflow, trying to observe.
"Black, I saw black on it, it looks like a black swastika, well, there are red, red, black, it is the swastika!" Schroeder said with certainty.
"Quickly ~EbookFREE.me~ send a telegram to our mothership that we have found a German submarine, currently in a submarine state, bearing 27-0-36, requesting an attack!" Chris shouted excitedly.
The Germans are so careless and so arrogant!
While sailing on the sea, and dare to fly the national flag, aren’t they looking for a beating? Don’t think it’s okay if you float!
The Kingfisher reconnaissance aircraft is not only a reconnaissance aircraft, it can also carry weapons.
At the nose of the nose, there is a fixed Browning .30 machine gun, and a .30 machine gun that can be tilted behind. At the same time, there is a bomb rack under each of the two wings of the kingfisher, and now, exactly one 100-pound aerial bomb is hung on each.
Thinking of these sneaky submarines and wantonly attacking cargo ships, Chris was furious.
The Pacific Ocean belongs to the US Navy, and the Germans cannot be allowed to wreak havoc!
The Kingfisher reconnaissance plane rushed to the unsuspecting "German" submarine on the sea with a swift posture!
