Chapter Twenty-Five

When the Shark launched the torpedo jamming bomb again, the North Carolina's speed was as high as twenty-seven knots.

Because the Shark dropped all the interference bombs in one breath, creating a larger bubble curtain wall, and did not turn around to avoid it, when two MK48-7 torpedoes emerged from the bubble curtain wall, they were not discovered by the spherical sonar of the North Carolina when they were behind the Shark.

As the torpedo locked on the Shark again, the spherical sonar of the North Carolina detected two torpedoes.

If the North Carolina faces the Shark at this time, the sonar array on the side can measure the distance of the torpedo, calculate the time when the torpedo hits the Shark, and find the danger that is close to you. Unfortunately, the North Carolina faces the Shark, and the spherical attack sonar can only measure direction and cannot measure distance, so it is impossible to know when the torpedo will hit the Shark.

As a result, the North Carolina did not adjust its course and was still heading towards the Shark.

Even at this time, the North Carolina was not without a chance, and Ramons was even less at a loss.

The "unidentified" submarine ignored the torpedo behind and rushed towards the North Carolina without hesitation, which made Ramons feel very uneasy.

He first thought that the torpedo could release the "unidentified" submarine and attack the "North Carolina".

But after this idea appeared, he immediately rejected it.

The "unidentified" submarine was locked by torpedo three times between the North Carolina and the torpedo. Because the MK48-7 torpedo has the ability to identify the target, even if the "North Carolina" is detected, it will give priority to attack the closer and more powerful "unidentified" submarine with a closer and stronger signal characteristics. If the "unidentified" submarine hits the "North Carolina", the torpedo will first hit the "unidentified" submarine. A submarine with a displacement of thousands of tons can offset most of the impact caused by the torpedo explosion. The impact of the "North Carolina" will definitely not be as good as the impact caused by the impact of the two submarines.

Regardless of the result, the probability of survival of the North Carolina is much higher than that of the "unidentified" submarine.

Besides, the two submarines are already close and there is no time to avoid them.

Ramons was just uneasy and did not immediately turn uneasy into action.

Although he hesitated for more than ten seconds, it was enough to lock in the fate of the North Carolina.

On the "Shark", Lu Chengfeng was still reporting the numbers.

“…Seventeen, sixteen, fifteen…”

"Twenty-five in the first place, twenty-five in the last place, dive at full speed!"

Yang Yuanfan had already sat in the helmsman's position. When Zhou Yusheng gave the order, he immediately pulled up the steering wheel and pressed down the joystick that controlled the first horizontal rudder.

Submarines are different from fighter jets. They only use the tail rudder when sailing normally, and only use the first rudder when maneuvering.

As the head horizontal rudder deflects downwards and the tail horizontal rudder deflects upwards, the tail of the Shark rises high, burying his head and planting into the deep sea at a speed of 35 knots.

When the rudder surface stabilized, the submarine leaned forward and thirty degrees.

Under the influence of the hull spoiler, the forward angle continued to increase. Mu Haoyang and Li Xiaoming tried hard to grasp the support steel pipe and did not fall.

They are not in the submarine combat organization, and there is no place for them in the command cabin.

Behind the butt of the "Shark", two mk48-7 torpedoes, one in front and one behind, did not dive immediately, but jumped upwards and chased them along the wake of the "Shark".

It is not that the mk48-7 has wake self-conducting capability, but that this advanced anti-submarine torpedo has intelligent recognition capabilities.

After locking the target, mk48-7 will give priority to attacking the propulsion system of the enemy boat, and the first impact point is the tail of the enemy boat. Only in the online guide mode can the launcher adjust the impact point, so that the torpedo selectively impact key parts on the submarine, such as the command cabin and the torpedo compartment.

In order to ensure that the distance hits the rear of the enemy boat and shortens the distance to one nautical mile, mk48-7 will sail along the enemy boat's route.

This design was originally intended to improve the lethality of torpedoes. Even if it is used to deal with giant strategic nuclear submarines such as the "Typhoon" class with a displacement of more than 20,000 tons, a mk48-7 can completely lose its navigation ability and become an inactive target, and then a torpedo can sink it. If it is used to deal with an attack nuclear submarine with a displacement of less than 10,000 tons, a mk48-7 can solve the problem.

At this time, unexpected consequences were brought.

After mk48-7 followed the wake of the Shark, two targets appeared ahead, namely the rapidly approaching North Carolina and the Shark that were moving away.

It is undeniable that the mk48-7's bomb fire control computer is indeed very advanced.

Because torpedoes do not have the ability to identify enemies and us, they will give priority to targets with closer distances and more obvious signal characteristics when attacking self-guided attacks. If they are replaced with another torpedo, even if it is the MK46, which is also produced by the United States, it will let go of the Shark and switch to attack the North Carolina. Ramons' confidence was not created out of thin air. Two MK48-7s locked the Shark three times in succession. The bomb-mounted computer automatically listed the Shark as the primary target of attack. As long as the Shark is still within the attack range, it will not attack other targets.

The Shark dived rapidly, and the two mk48-7s let go of the North Carolina and followed the rapid dive.

"The torpedo did not turn and was still approaching at high speed." Meng Guangyang looked back at Zhou Yusheng, looking very panicked and a little disappointed.

Zhou Yusheng frowned, and the joy at the beginning disappeared.

"The impact time is eleven seconds, ten..." Lu Chengfeng performed his duties and continued to report on the numbers without being moved.

"Damn it!" Yang Yuanfan cursed loudly.

The last move has been used, but it still doesn't work. It's almost over, but who can still care about so much?

"Where is the 'North Carolina'?" Zhou Yusheng did not give up because the "Shark" was still hit by torpedoes and they were still alive.

"There is less than a chain above the front."

It's too close, and Meng Guangyang doesn't need to report other data.

"…Seven, six..." Lu Chengfeng looked at Zhou Yusheng. Although his voice was very calm, his extension was not calm at all.

Zhou Yusheng muttered silently and suddenly said loudly: "Emergency evacuation of the front water tank, the first one is twenty or twenty or twenty or twenty or twenty or twenty or twenty or twenty or twenty or twenty or twenty or twenty or twenty or twenty or twenty or twenty or twenty or twenty or twenty or twenty or twenty or twenty or twenty or twenty or twenty or twenty or twenty or five, let us fly!"

Yang Yuanfan did not hesitate and slapped the switch of the empty ballast water tank with a slap, then used both hands, pressing and pulling.

The Shark is like a frightened deep-sea beast. With the creaking sound, it quickly raised its head and dived from emergency to emergency floating.

Hearing the violent sound from the hull, Mu Haoyang and Li Xiaoming's hearts were hanging in their throats.

Will such a violent maneuver break the Shark?

If you are not hit by a torpedo but the hull is broken, it will be unprofitable.

Zhou Yusheng looked up and said, "No matter whether you believe in God or not, whoever you believe in, please pray quickly. I hope this guy can hold on."

At this time, the officers and soldiers on the "Shark" could only pray to God, Allah, Buddha, and the Supreme Lord.

Although the "Shark" is a weapon of war and is called an "underwater fighter", the submarine is by no means a fighter and cannot be compared with the fighter. This attack nuclear submarine with a displacement of more than 7,000 tons has a maximum design longitudinal overload of only two g, while the worst fighter has seven g. Severe maneuvering will cause uneven force at the head and tail, causing unpredictable impacts on the longitudinal bearing structure of the submarine, and even severely damaged. If the keel is broken, even if it is not sunk by torpedoes, the "Shark" will be scrapped.

When the officers and soldiers on the Shark began to pray, Ramons suddenly woke up on the North Carolina.

Because the "unidentified" submarine was diving rapidly and the North Carolina did not adjust its navigation posture in time, the spherical active sonar soon lost its target.

The North Carolina can detect only two anti-submarine torpedoes that are approaching at high speed.

Although Ramons didn't know what his opponent would do next, he had already thought that everything his opponent did was for one purpose: directing the torpedo to the North Carolina.

The key is that you must seize the time.

The "unidentified" submarine fired torpedo jamming bombs twice in a row, not to deceive the torpedo. Perhaps the captain of the "unidentified" submarine had known for a long time that the backward torpedo jamming bomb could not deal with the mk48-7 at all, and at most it would only buy him more time.

What he needs is exactly the time: approaching the North Carolina before being hit by a torpedo.

As long as you can bypass it in time, the North Carolina, which lies in the middle, will become an ideal "jammer bomb" for "unidentified" submarines to deal with torpedoes.

Doing so requires a lot of risk, but it is nothing compared to being hit by a torpedo.

Without thinking about it, Ramons knew that the "unidentified" submarine would definitely float up urgently after it arrived below the North Carolina.

The Shark did, and it was very timely.

Compared with submarines, the torpedo does not have a ballast tank and cannot obtain additional buoyancy. The course can only be adjusted by changing the angle of the rudder surface, thereby changing the navigation depth.

Although the torpedo is very fast and the maneuverability is much higher than that of a submarine, its ability to change depth is still not as good as that of a submarine.

When the "Shark" floated up urgently, two MK48-7s were diving. Although the bomb-mounted computer quickly issued instructions, adjusted the angle of the rudder surface to allow the torpedo to float up, it still couldn't keep up with the "Shark". After only three seconds, the torpedo lost its target again.

Unlike the previous two lost targets, this time there is another target that can be attacked in front of mk48-7.

The intelligent control system of mk48-7 did not fail. After the "Shark" was thrown, the bomb-mounted computer started a re-search program. However, no matter how advanced the intelligent control system is, it is not as good as the human brain, and torpedoes cannot think about problems like humans. Because the signal characteristics of the "North Carolina" are more obvious and the "Shark" is not within the detection range, the two mk-48-7s quickly regarded the "North Carolina" as the target of attack.

When the torpedo's active sonar seeker was aimed at the North Carolina, the distance was less than one hundred meters!

The huge submarine is right in front of it, and the torpedoes don't even have time to choose the impact point.

At the last moment, no one knew what Ramons and the officers and soldiers on the North Carolina were thinking.

The passive sonar of the Shark records what happened at that time.

The first mk48-7 hit the lower part of the head of the North Carolina and detonated about five meters away from the head of the boat, destroying the spherical attack sonar and the missile vertical launch tube. The hit point of the second torpedo was a little behind, and the submarine's pressure-resistant shell was penetrated between the torpedo compartment and the torpedo tube of the North Carolina.

Because the command cabin is above the torpedo cabin, Ramons and others who stayed in the command cabin did not suffer much.

Death comes very quickly, and they don’t even have the chance to pray for God’s forgiveness!
