Chapter 462： carpet attack

?The navy of any country, after discovering that it has been tracked by a submarine, can take various means to deal with the submarine. After all, the weapon of the submarine is a mouse crossing the street. If the submarine enters silently, it will easily cause damage to the surface formation.

And now, a state of war will be entered at any time, and the Soviet Navy is even more prepared to stand by!

After the fighter jets were released, all the warships turned into anti-submarine state. They were arranged in a one-line anti-submarine formation, which was the easiest way to exert their own sonar advantages. Almost all the sonarists in the fleet were listening. Traces of the submarine.

However, I couldn't hear anything, not even the sonar buoys thrown by the ship-borne helicopters that flew over first did not find any trace of the submarine underwater.

"Damn Americans, the engine must have been turned off, and maybe it will sink to the bottom of the sea." Colonel Gokinaev said that as the captain of Minsk, he must be quite familiar with all kinds of weapons and equipment. Play is also very proficient.

No trace could be heard, that was because the other party had shut down the engine and sailed in absolute silence! Only sailing under the drift of ocean currents, and at the same time, it may also sink to the bottom of the sea like a big rock!

It is impossible for sonar to find out the big rocks. If it was the World War II era, they were all diesel-electric submarines, so just wait in the nearby waters, and when the other party's power runs out and surface to charge, they will attack again in swarms. But now, submarines are already powered by nuclear power. Unless the crew can't support their own physical strength, it is the most common to stay underwater for several months!

Therefore, it is very troublesome to deal with nuclear submarines in this situation.

"It can't be sitting on the bottom of the sea. The bottom of the sea here is more than 600 meters deep, and American submarines can't dive so deep." The first officer of the Minsk ship said: "The sound of the American submarine was finally discovered just now. At a depth of 400 meters, which is also the maximum depth of American submarines, they basically stay at this depth, and it seems that we have to shoot the Americans up."

"Order, all warships, launch anti-submarine rockets to a depth of 400 meters! Aim at the last place where the American submarine appeared, and shoot all the rockets for us!"

Anti-submarine rocket depth bomb! This anti-submarine weapon, which was widely used during World War II, is still not outdated until now! For example, under the current circumstances, a large area of rocket coverage is even more enjoyable than anti-submarine mines!

After hearing the order of Admiral Duarte, all the warships began to prepare.

On the "Kyiv"-class aircraft carrier, the Dreadnought-class anti-submarine ship, the "Kriwak"-class frigate and other warships, the most common Soviet rbu-6000 anti-submarine rocket deep missile launcher system launcher began to rotate, and the base with dual-plane stabilization function Seat, which eliminates the influence of the ship's pitch and roll on aiming, 12 launch tubes are installed in a circular arc configuration, with 6 tubes on the left and right sides. At this time, these launch tubes are quickly aiming at the target, and at the same time, the automatic loading system has already loaded the rgb-60 deep bombs from the bomb bay, through the bomb feeder, and automatically into each launch tube through the lifting barrel.

At the same time, other warships of the fleet, such as "Kresta-2" class missile cruisers, "Kirov" class nuclear-powered missile cruisers, "Kara" class anti-submarine ships and "Hyundai" class anti-submarine ships, are equipped with The rbu-1000 anti-submarine rocket depth bomb launcher has also begun to aim.

The two launchers can be distinguished at a glance, mainly because of the number of tubes. This rbu-1000 has only six tubes, and the firepower density is a little weaker. However, the diameter of this rgb-10 anti-submarine rocket is 300 mm. , which is larger than the 210 mm diameter of the rgb-60 anti-submarine rocket depth bomb, which means that the power is greater, but the range is closer.

However, they are all within the striking range of surface ships! If the range is not enough, get closer! If American submarines dare to maneuver now, it is purely courting death!

Even if they don't move, they are courting death. To challenge the Soviet aircraft carrier formation is courting death!

"Swarm burst mode, shoot!" Admiral Duarte personally gave the order.

"Shh, shh!" The warships that had been prepared for a long time started to launch at the same time. With the pressing of the ignition button, the anti-submarine rocket deep bombs dragged the flame tongue and flew out of the launch tube. Smoke shrouded the entire warship.

One, another, the flames kept flying out, and every warship was constantly releasing anti-submarine killers. In terms of firepower density, it was much more powerful than another deep-water torpedo!

After flying forward for 1,300 meters, the rgb-60 anti-submarine rocket dived deep into the water. After entering the water, it dived at a speed of 2 meters per second. It took three minutes to reach a depth of 400 meters.

During this period of time, of course, the warship did not stop. The second round of depth bombs has been loaded into the launch tube, and a new round of strikes will be carried out at any time according to the underwater movement!

One and another, more than 200 anti-submarine rockets, fell into the water and dived quickly. Although the rgb-10 anti-submarine rocket depth bomb has a short range, the warship needs to move forward for a while before it can be launched, resulting in the final entry into the water, but due to the weight of the bomb, the diving speed is faster.

Four hundred meters underwater, the Los Angeles-class nuclear submarine USS Baton Rouge.

Everyone held their breaths, the sonar operator had been listening to the sound of the water, waiting for what tricks the Soviets would use against them.

When they heard that the surface warships were lined up in an anti-submarine formation, they felt that something was wrong. Now, when they heard one after another of deep bombs falling into the water, the sonar operator's report was already filled with unease.

Lots of voices! How many anti-submarine deep bombs fell into the water at the same time? The number of sonarists is endless, but, for sure, there are many!

"It is expected that in two minutes, the depth bomb will reach our depth." The sonar operator continued to report.

How to do? Johnson is also frowning. It is unrealistic to challenge the entire Soviet aircraft carrier formation with a submarine.

And now? The Soviets actually launched a carpet strike! Without thinking about it, he can also guess that the Soviets just fired all their anti-submarine rockets! The Soviets have been fond of this kind of firepower coverage since World War II! (To be continued.)
