1805 Panic from supercavitating torpedoes
"Woooooo..." The alarm sound was still ringing quickly and briefly. The entire submarine's not-bright cabin was flashing by red alarm lights.
The personnel in all cabins inside the submarine became nervous and busy.
"Preparation for anti-collision! Turn the rudder!" The captain did not hesitate at all, and did not even know what the high-speed unknown object was. He did not order to launch a torpedo for interception. Instead, he directly issued an order to avoid the high-speed object that was obviously coming towards them in front.
In the water, the huge submarine had no time to turn completely when it came from the height of an object of such speed.
The propeller at the tail rotated quickly with the increase in the power of the nuclear reactor, and a series of splashes emerged. The huge rudder slowly rotated, causing the submarine's huge cigar-shaped body to slowly move to the side.
The unknown object coming from highway has turned the distance of twenty nautical miles to less than 15 nautical miles in such a time.
The maximum speed is still increasing, from 200 knots at the beginning to 220 knots. If it is in the air on the water, this is not a problem. The speed of the missile is much higher than this speed, it is a distance of 200 meters underwater!
The resistance of the water makes ordinary torpedoes reach a speed of more than 40 knots per hour at most, and there is no great possibility of 50, especially heavy torpedoes. And the thing in front of you has reached such a high speed in the water!
How can we not be afraid?
At such a speed, the distance of less than 15 nautical miles can only be reached in just 4 minutes at most, and the speed is still increasing.
"Captain, the speed has increased again to reach 250 knots!" The radar soldier was a little desperate.
If the unknown object continues to accelerate like now, it will not take three minutes to hit a nuclear submarine with a maximum submarine speed of only 26 knots!
The submarine was originally keeping radio silently approaching the aircraft carrier and the Filipino warships, with a speed of less than ten knots. At this time, the submarine had not yet turned to 20 degrees and the speed was not increased.
"Continue to turn!" Cold sweat appeared on the captain's forehead, "Increase the detection range and no longer keep the radio silent! Find the range of unknown weapons!"
Such high-speed unknown objects cannot have no source.
The detection distance of this submarine is only less than 40 nautical miles and has no towing sonar, so it is impossible to find the huge submarine hidden in the water further away.
"Captain, this looks like a torpedo." The radar soldier said in a bit incredible.
"Torpedo? Is it so fast?" the captain was stunned.
"Yes, in our Soviet Union, there was news that a super torpedo was being developed with a speed of more than 200 knots!" A burly white middle-aged officer said with a serious expression, his voice was a little dry, "I think it's very likely that we encountered something like this..."
"China? Why do they attack us?" the captain was puzzled.
As the submarine's speed became faster and faster, the captain didn't care about anything else at all, so he could only continue to observe and wait.
Many people start to seep sweat from their faces.
And 40 nautical miles away from them, inside the huge 094 submarine, various parameters were reported constantly. From the moment the torpedo was launched, it was constantly fiducing back from various monitoring equipment installed on the torpedo.
"The maximum speed is 250 knots, and it cannot be broken through again!" A technician looked at the distance of more than twenty nautical miles from the nuclear submarine, frowned, "The engine power is already the largest!"
"Can't you break through again? How is the working state of the supercavitation generator? How far is it from the predetermined target?" the old man asked with a frown. "How far can fuel support?"
"The fuel can support 3 nautical miles and will enter the predetermined target soon. The supercavitation generator is in a stable working state!" The technician looked at the various parameters on the display screen and answered.
In the test in the sea, due to the large resistance of the sea water, no camera was installed on it. We can only observe the working conditions of various components of the torpedo through various data.
"Order the torpedo to float and sail on the water!" The old man nodded and issued an order.
Soon, the instructor entered a bunch of instructions on the display screen. These instructions were converted into satellite signals by the communication device on the submarine, and then passed to the Beidou satellite in the sky. The Beidou satellite then transmitted the signal to the head of a Xinchang torpedo that was about 200 meters away from the side of the aircraft carrier and the Philippine warship.
This torpedo is different from an ordinary torpedo. At the top of the head, there is a cone-shaped structure. A series of bubbles are quickly ejected from the surroundings of the structure toward the back, forming a super-cavitation space around the torpedo, so that this missile can quickly sweep through these rapidly generated cavitation...
This is the most advanced super cavitation torpedo in the world!
As the command from the Beidou satellite was received by the satellite signal receiving device inside the high-speed sneaking torpedo, the head of the torpedo that was originally sailing flat began to rise high, and then floated upwards. The angle of inclined up quickly became flat again, sailing at high speed on the water surface, splashing very high waves...
"Torpedo floats up!" In Nipponsan's nuclear submarine, the radar soldiers saw the high-speed torpedo that was originally coming straight towards them suddenly floated up to the sea at a 30-degree angle with the sea surface, and then came here again, but this direction was aimed at the old Philippine warship blocking the aircraft carrier!
"The target is not us! It is a Filipino warship." The radar soldier was obviously relieved.
If we come towards them, we basically cannot escape. Until now, the huge nuclear submarine has just turned halfway and has not yet left its original route.
"Where did they find the launch? Where are their submarines?" The captain's face did not become more relaxed, but instead looked a little ugly.
They couldn't find who fired the torpedo. Once they hit the Philippine warship, their nuclear submarines were in this position, and they would definitely have to take the blame.
There are only three nuclear submarines in this South China Sea area, and there are several conventional small submarines. If there are, they should have discovered them.
There are definitely more advanced submarines hidden around the surrounding locations.
"Not found, no target! Captain, should we search the surrounding waters?" asked the radar soldier.
Before the radio was silent, many devices were turned off.
"No!" the captain refused, "Leave this sea area and report this matter to the headquarters immediately!"
"Captain, the opponent's torpedo disappeared!" The radar soldier's report stunned everyone.
"Where are the generals of the Philippines?" the captain asked quickly.
"There is no movement, the torpedo disappeared when it was one nautical mile away from the Philippine warship!" The radar soldier looked incredible.
The captain was relieved at this moment, "This matter must be reported as soon as possible. We will leave this sea area!"
deterrence!
The torpedo should be a new nuclear submarine from China.
"The supercavitation torpedo should not have such a long range. And according to what we have learned before, the Soviet Union's torpedo range was only 715 kilometers and had a speed of about 200 knots." The middle-aged man who said that there was such a fast torpedo said in confusion.
They found that it was not long since the time was that the opponent's torpedo had run about ten nautical miles, which was already nearly 20 kilometers. If it was launched by a submarine, then the opponent's submarine was already within their detection range!
Obviously, they were already launched without discovering the distance.
It has a range of at least 30 kilometers.
"It's the fact now, we must report it back." The captain took a deep breath. They could vaguely feel the meaning of the Navy headquarters that once they really are enemies of China, they might even be destroyed without even realizing it. When will the Chinese submarine be invisible?
"Major, torpedo!" On the Cannon-class frigate, the old-fashioned radar was found less than 3 nautical miles away from them. It splashed such a high wave, and a waterline that approached quickly could be seen clearly even if it did not require a radar.
"Avoid! Avoid!" The red wine glass in the captain's hand slid silently to the ground. The sound of the glass shattering made him wake up. He said quickly until the sound of the glass shattering made him wake up.
At such a close distance and such a fast speed, how could they avoid such an old warship? What's more, in order to stop this aircraft carrier, they almost stopped at sea!
Everyone on the entire warship became a little panicked, chaos began to spread, and some people even jumped directly from the deck of the warship!
The old warship has a maximum speed of only 15 knots and a poor 12 knots. It is not easy to start from ignition.
No matter whether the attack comes from Nippodosan or China, they cannot escape it!
"Give power to the Navy Command, we are attacked by Nippodosan nuclear submarine!" The major captain was not a fool. He understood as soon as he thought about it. This must be an attack from Nippodosan. Even if the Chinese wanted to do this, they would not be so crazy. Although they did not detect where Nippodosan's nuclear submarine was, it was even possible that the Chinese attacked Nippodosan to frame Nippodosan.
A message was quickly passed to the Philippine Navy Command.
However, the torpedo coming towards the warship at high speed suddenly exploded about a thousand meters away from the Philippine warship.
The violent explosion splashed dozens of meters high on the sea surface, and then the explosion sounded faintly.
"Director, over there..." On the shell of the aircraft carrier, I also saw the waterline that was quickly entangled at the sea. The middle-aged subordinate pulled the director with a gloomy face and pointed at the other side. As soon as the director looked over, he heard a violent explosion like thunder, and then he saw dozens of meters high water splashes on the sea surface!
When the director saw this scene, he couldn't help but smile, "It seems that we should be able to set sail."
"This..." The middle-aged man obviously didn't understand, and the director had no intention of explaining. He just smiled and ordered that all the tugs that had stopped were ready to set sail at any time.
"Exploded?" The major was obviously a little incredible when he saw the situation in the distance.
Torpedoes usually need to be touched before they can explode. As an excellent Philippine Navy major and the captain of the largest frigate, it is impossible not to understand the characteristics of the torpedo.
"Report this matter..." As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly remembered that he seemed to have issued an order to report to the Admiralty that they had been torpedoed by the Nipponsan nuclear submarine!
"Have you reported the attack news back?" The major hoped that it had not been reported yet.
Because he knew that the Ministry of Defense hoped that Nipponan would provoke them, and then the US aircraft carrier fleet would come to deal with Nipponan's navy. Similarly, the Philippines could also obtain more advanced and larger second-hand warships from the United States.
The problem is that once the Philippine Ministry of Defense declares war on Nippodosan, they will be killed by the other side's submarines first.
Such things cannot happen.
"It has been...it has been...it has been reported..." the communications soldier said tremblingly.
"Bastard! Explain it quickly, we were not attacked, this was a mistake!" The major slapped the communications soldier in the head.
At this time, Nippodosan's face became a little ugly because of the news reported by the South China Sea submarine.
Especially Zhao Zhicheng's face was so gloomy that water could drip out.
An undetectable nuclear submarine, a torpedo with a speed of 250 knots and a high-speed stealth at 200 meters underwater, just these two can scrap all their nuclear submarines and warships.
Even, they couldn't find the enemy anywhere.
"That is our latest nuclear submarine and supercavitation torpedo, which is only tested in the South China Sea." Liu Yijiu said to Zhao Zhicheng who asked him calmly, "Before, our nuclear submarine had already conducted sea tests in the South China Sea, and testing the latest model of supercavitation torpedo is also the mission of this sea test."
"The Soviets' Storm Supercavitation torpedo has a speed of only 200 knots and a range of less than 15 kilometers. However, ours is different. The range is 30 kilometers and the speed can reach a maximum of 280 knots. Another more important problem is that our Storm Supercavitation torpedo is not like the Soviet Storm Supercavitation torpedo. It has no way to guide after launch, and it needs to rely on inertia to attack the target..."
Liu Yijiu didn't care about the excitement on Zhao Zhicheng's face at all. The purpose of launching this torpedo was not just a test, but a deterrent!
