Chapter 1407 Anti-submarine Tactics
It can be said that this experience taught Fatty Gao a lesson. He had never known what the anti-submarine steps were before. Now he finally understood it. Fatty Gao found that his previous understanding of anti-submarine was really just that he was simply yy, and this was not the case in actual combat.
In fact, anti-submarine is a very profound science. During World War I, Britain suffered huge losses due to Germany's unlimited submarine warfare. Later, in order to reduce losses, it had to change its marching habits of merchant ships. After World War II, Germany suffered huge losses due to the adoption of new tactics by Germany. However, Britain quickly adapted and developed new tactics. The happy time of German submarines did not last long, and the situation was different with the United States' participation in the war. Because of the lack of attention to anti-submarine, the United States suffered considerable losses at the beginning. Later, after the United States learned anti-submarine technology from Britain, the situation improved a lot.
However, historical experience is just a reference in this world, and there are many types of anti-submarines in history. Among them, anti-submarines are relatively easy in situations like World War II. The main reason is that submarines cannot compete for sea control. It is okay to be caught off guard by submarines without sea control. But as long as the other party is prepared enough, it is very difficult for submarines to deal with. Of course, the premise of anti-submarines is that they must occupy sea control. As long as they have the right to speak, they are in their own hands.
During World War II, German submarines looked very good in battle, but compared with the total number of allied merchant ships, they would find that it was very average. The submarines did not complete the cut off the British sea supply line, not to mention that the attack on Britain was extremely limited. The most important thing is that they still suffered a lot of losses. Forty percent of submarines were sunk without any record. In addition, there are many attacks that only sink one merchant ship or two merchant ships at a time. It can be seen that there are only a few star submarines. The submarines themselves are not very cheap, and the loss of torpedoes and personnel. It can be said that the German submarines suffered huge losses during World War II. You should know that a German ordinary torpedo is equivalent to a short-barrel tank No. 4. A submarine must carry at least twenty torpedoes to go to sea. You can imagine how much the loss of that submarine with 40% without any record is.
Of course, if the submarine is controlled, it is quite good if the submarine is controlled. In the late period of the Pacific War in World War II, the US submarines attacked a certain island country's routes very well. On the one hand, a certain island country did not pay attention to anti-submarine, which made the anti-submarine level insufficient. On the other hand, an island country could not obtain enough sea control to support the fleet's anti-submarine. This is completely different from the battles in the North Atlantic. Different situations make the anti-submarine performance completely different.
Submarines proved their value during World War I and World War II. However, submarines are not used for fleet combat until this point. We know that the conventional submarines are not used for fleet decisive battles until Fatty Gao crossed. The main task of conventional submarines is to ambush on routes and some special sea areas. Nuclear submarines that emerged after World War II are not a weapon of the same kind as conventional submarines. Nuclear submarines, especially attack nuclear submarines, can follow and cooperate with fleet operations. Therefore, the threat of attack nuclear submarines is much greater than that of conventional submarines. Conventional submarines can only ambush fleets in specific waters. As long as the fleet is more vigilant, there is generally no danger. The problem that conventional submarines cannot sail at high speed for a long time makes it impossible for conventional submarines to threaten the fleet once the fleet reaches the ocean. In comparison, the threat of attack nuclear submarines is much greater.
As the threat of submarines is increasing, anti-submarine technology is also advancing rapidly, especially after the rise of helicopters in the Vietnam War, anti-submarines have become very mature until the fat man crosses. Generally speaking, various sonars discover the general position of the submarine and then send helicopters or shore-based fixed-wing anti-submarine aircraft for precise positioning and attacking.
The anti-submarine tactics in history are completely different in this world. This is mainly because most of the monsters are active below the water surface. The disadvantages of submarines and monsters below the water surface are too great. It is precisely because of this situation that the top view is still excellent enough at home, so Fatty Gao has never participated in real anti-submarine combat. This is the first time Fatty Gao has participated in such an anti-submarine combat. It can be said that Fatty Gao had no idea about anti-submarine combat before. There are so many statements about anti-submarine combat.
One of the most important reasons why the six Fletcher little loli were unable to accurately lock the monsters before was that these six Fletcher little loli were unable to accurately lock the monsters. Because this monster was in a deeper sea and deeper sea areas affected the accuracy of Fletcher little lolili, this made Fletcher little lolili just know that the target monster could not attack accurately in this sea area, and these problems were solved after Casablanca arrived.
Casablanca only knows precise anti-submarine, which means that Casablancas find that the underwater targets have strong abilities, but often they are not perfect. Although they use carrier-based aircraft anti-submarine, Casablanca's efficiency is very low. If they use high-efficiency methods, the accuracy is very low. The most important thing is that Casablancas carry a very average aircraft capacity, so Casablancas have the best joint combat effect. This is why West Virginia transferred three Casablancas to support. The three Casablancas are enough to deal with any lone wolf monster below the water surface. In front of these three Casablancas, no lone wolf underwater monster is an opponent.
This action was a real lesson for Fatty Gao, but Fatty Gao was just like this. This is mainly because no matter how hard the Glorious Ship Girl tried, it would not work after leaving the top view. Miss Dignity does not need such training. The current Miss Dignity has a big problem. This is mainly because Miss Dignity has no such state in history, which makes her historical memory lacking. There is no need to rely on anti-submarine ability without historical memory. And having a top view is enough to cope with most situations. This time, things are special and impossible to be the norm, so Fatty Gao is like this in this battle, which basically opened his eyes.
