After diving to the depth of the periscope, the Shark was sailing underwater at a cruising speed of 3 knots, and staying underwater for more than an hour.
"At the 11 o'clock direction, a high-speed propeller was found!" At this time, the sonar soldier reported to the captain.
Captain Shane raised his periscope to more than three meters above the sea, slowly turned his shaking handle, and searched carefully on the sea. "Can you see anything?" asked the communications officer.
Major Shane shrugged, "I can't even see a shadow!" After saying that, he handed over the work to Lieutenant Wilson on duty. The personnel of the chart team were calculating the target based on the sonar soldiers' reports. From receiving
When it comes to the speed of the thruster, more and more ship sounds are captured by the sonar chamber. According to the report, the fleet of ships found was about twenty to thirty ships, but this fleet
The speed is very low, about 10 knots.
At this time, when Sa Shijun, Fang Minghao and others took a traffic boat from the Huashan to the Schánhorst, the speed of the entire fleet slowed down.
"With such a slow speed, could it be a transport fleet?" said deputy captain Sgerter.
"It shouldn't be. The large formations that can sail in this sea area are us except the British, and we have not received any notification in this regard!" Major Shane said, "This should be the enemy fleet we are looking for, and it may be among them.
There was some malfunction in that ship.”
The target's location is about forty nautical miles away from the Shark. In the better sea conditions, the sonar can even detect a distance farther than this, although the signal sometimes appears intermittent. In the British,
After radar technology, with its deep technological and industrial capabilities, Americans quickly reached the forefront of the world in sonar and radar detection, and have surpassed Britain and Germany in radio technology.
Since the Republic of China has begun to equip some transistor components on radio equipment, it is still ahead of the world in radio communication and detection technology, especially in terms of power and operating stability of equipment.
"The whole boat entered the combat state, adjusted its course to 146, increased its speed to two-thirds, and we went ahead." Major Shane gestured twice on the chart, and then issued a order to turn.
The Yiyang destroyer is one of the first long-range destroyers of the "Yangzi" destroyer with a standard displacement of 3,900 tons designed and built by the Republican Navy in 1939. It is slightly different from the destroyers of various countries. This type of destroyer of the Republican Navy belongs to the Republican Navy.
Only four dual-mounted 105mm high-level dual-purpose guns, and four dual-mounted 75mm high-level dual-purpose guns. As a long-distance destroyer with strong air defense firepower, this type of destroyer has firepower when performing sea attack missions.
It's slightly insufficient.
At 10:20 am, after the "Yiyang" and "Xiangyang" were refueling and supplying at sea, they sailed to about five nautical miles in the left front of the fleet, replacing the "Deyang" and "Xinyang" who were on duty, and began to execute.
Reconnaissance and search missions ahead of the fleet.
Lieutenant Jiang Liwei, the radar officer of the "Yiyang", walked along the corridor on the bridge toward the radar chamber behind the command tower. He was wearing a blue khaki naval combat uniform and holding a "Red Tower Brand" cigarette produced in Yunnan in his mouth.
.While humming "Night in the Military Harbor", he walked, he joked with the observation posts on duty on the bridge.
"Hello everyone, stare at the sea carefully. Maybe the American submarine will appear under our noses. But you have to see clearly. Yes, just open your eyes like this!" He was fiddling with him standing on the bridge.
Gao Sheng and Ye Songlin, who had high-power monoculars, shouted.
"Don't worry about our hearts. You can't find anything you can't find with radar. We can't see even more." Gao Sheng turned his face and said, "Go back to the radar room quickly, you'll be changing shifts soon!"
"This is not accurate. Radar is OK to search for surface targets and aircraft, but dealing with submarines is simply blind. The same is true for sonar. It is difficult to capture targets that are low-speed cruise or stationary." Jiang Liwei approached instead
Arrive to them. "It's more than ten minutes before the shift will be made. I have to finish smoking. No smoking is allowed in the radar room!"
"After you say that, I really felt something reflecting on the sea!" Ye Songlin said. "It was just 10 o'clock, about 9,000 meters, and now I can't see anything!" He put the telescope in his telescope.
Move to the direction he said.
It is better to believe that it has than to believe that it has nothing!
Gao Sheng picked up the phone and informed the captain of the suspicious situation.
On the "Shark", Major Shane put his eyes in front of the periscope's eyepiece, and kept muttering: "Okay, raise the periscope again, we have to confirm the target again! Oh my God, the enemy is enough
There are more than thirty warships, they are here!"
The battle alarm sounded in the submarine, and the crew hurried to their battle positions in the noise, with watertight hatch doors clanging, and then closed and tightly fixed.
The shouts of the captain and the commander came from the speakers of each cabin, "Note, target position, 232! Distance, 10,000 yards! Those yellow monkey warships, you can see the flags on the masts, and a warship turned towards us
Here, is it a destroyer or a light cruiser? It is accelerating, we are discovered, launching the torpedo!”
"Fire No. 1!"
"No. 2 opens fire!"...
The "Shark" hurriedly shot out all four torpedoes on the bow of the boat, unable to accurately target the target.
"Put off the periscope, they are firing at us, diving! Dive quickly!" Major Shane shouted, "All left rudder, turn 190, dive to the maximum depth!"
The submarine began to tilt underwater, changing its course, plunging into deep water.
The sound of the Chinese destroyer came from the sea, and towards a train heading at a high speed. The sound of the rumbling sound was coming to the sea, getting closer and closer, and there was no sound of torpedo explosion. At a distance of 7,000 yards, the torpedo hit.
The possibility of the target is almost zero.
Captain Shane just wanted to disturb the opponent's attack.
"The other side has two more warships developed here!" the sonar room was reporting.
The destroyer was closer, and it was on the submarine's head, making a loud bang, like a train rushing past the head!
As a P-class ocean-going attack submarine, the "Shark" has a maximum diving depth of only 76 meters. At this time, Captain Shane ordered it to dive to a depth of 90 meters. The sea water was squeezing the boat's hull and sending out the
The terrible sound of the branch seems to break open at any time.
"They dropped the bomb!" The operator's nervous sound came from the sonar room. The crew members in the entire submarine almost didn't even dare to show their atmosphere, and their faces turned pale due to excessive fright. As the click, click
There were several sounds, and it seemed that something was thrown into the water. After about three seconds, the deep-water bomb dropped exploded at a depth of about thirty meters.
