The power of the Akula-class reactor was fully turned on, and all the power of the two turbine units was transferred to the seven-blade large side-inclined propeller at the tail. As the propeller speed accelerated, they finally reached fifteen nautical miles on the starboard side of the aircraft carrier. This is A very good position for launching torpedoes. If they launch torpedoes now, there is no doubt that they will hit the target.
At this moment, the captain of the USS ** aircraft carrier finally received the news. The hull sonar of an Aegis destroyer next to it captured the target.
Those are all feints! This submarine is the main attack!
At this time, the aircraft carrier was accelerating and the reactor was fully open, which caused the noise to increase. Therefore, at this time, an unknown submarine actually took this opportunity to appear next to them!
For Americans, ignorance is terrifying. They never knew that a nuclear submarine actually broke into the core of their aircraft carrier formation. When they were conducting anti-submarine warfare, they were breached by such an unknown submarine. position, and also occupied a favorable launching position!
The captain of the USS ** aircraft carrier was sweating from his vest. The Los Angeles-class submarines were quickly returning support, hoping to drive this unknown submarine out.
However, before the Los Angeles class returned and the anti-submarine aircraft had dropped a large number of sonobuoys, the other anti-submarine helicopters also quickly took off from other warships.
They felt like they were facing a formidable enemy.
And at this moment, the target actually disappeared, as if it had never appeared here.
After completing the simulated attack, Mustafa immediately gave the order. Slowly descend to a depth of six hundred meters, and then. Sail slowly and at very low speed.
At this depth, the Akula-class sailing sound is no more than that of a shark.
Therefore, even if the United States towed and deployed towed sonar, and even if they kept dropping sonobuoys, they still did not find the unidentified submarine.
Now, the most likely scenario is this submarine. Hiding under the belly of a certain warship, in order to conduct detection, an underwater Los Angeles class, regardless of the risk of revealing its whereabouts, used active sonar to detect under each surface warship one by one.
Nothing was found.
This incident was reported to the Pacific Fleet Command and was carefully considered. The headquarters decided to withdraw the aircraft carrier 300 nautical miles to avoid overly provoking China.
At this distance, they can take off their carrier-based aircraft at any time to deal with sudden situations, and it is absolutely within the high seas.
Four besieging Han-class nuclear submarines. It is very strange that the US aircraft carrier formation is in a mess. It is strange that they are constantly conducting anti-submarine operations in their own internal waters, and even the Los Angeles class uses active sonar to search for targets underwater.
They know their actions this time. Without success, we relied solely on nuclear submarines. Even the wave tactics can no longer adapt to modern warfare.
After the United States retreated, they also left this sea area. Why the Americans took the initiative to retreat has become a mystery. It was not until the memoirs of retired Mustafa twenty years later that this was revealed. events.
However, the arrival of the US aircraft carrier deeply stimulated China's leaders.
Prior to this, China had shifted its national focus to economic construction, and everything must make way for economic construction. For the sake of the economy, the military is enduring. The state has stopped funding a large number of projects, and many scientific research institutions are facing disintegration.
If it were not for the inflow of powerful funds from Iraq, then the Turbofan VI and Y-10 would have faced the fate of being discontinued, while other projects such as the J-H-7 and J-10 would have been greatly delayed and lagged behind. Even so, the military The amount of equipment remains low because of insufficient funds. Even in the military, because there are too few funds, many are engaged in market economy.
The military¡¯s forbearance has resulted in great economic development, but now it¡¯s time to repay the military¡¯s debt.
The Taiwan Strait crisis, Lee Teng-hui¡¯s ** remarks, and the American aircraft carrier fleet have completely made senior leaders notice that military building is urgent!
The army serves the interests of the country, so it can sacrifice the interests of the army when necessary. However, if the army cannot assume the task of defending the country, how can the results of economic construction be maintained?
The Navy is still dominated by the old Brigade-class, with only two Brigade-Shanghai-class and one Luhai-class yet to be completed. Their ship-borne anti-aircraft missiles only have Haihongqi. One day, they will really need to fight at sea. , without the cover of land-based aviation, they have no ability to win a war!
If the only opponent is Taiwan,We have already solved this problem long ago, but if the United States is on the hook, if a war really breaks out, the chances of winning are very slim.
The most accurate impact point of the ballistic missiles launched in the early stage was not measured by them, but the American Aegis warship!
The country owes the army too much!
After this incident, China¡¯s top leaders finally began to make up their minds to invest heavily in the military to build an army that can win modern high-tech wars!
Looking around, they found that Iraq was already far ahead of them. The development of various military services in Iraq has surpassed them by a lot.
In the past, the shipyards in Iraq were built with Chinese assistance, but now, they have begun to build destroyers and frigates with a displacement of several thousand tons, especially dedicated air defense destroyers using four-sided phased array radar. The level of advanced It is comparable to the American Aegis battleship.
In January 1997, the Chinese Navy visited the Iraqi Navy. At the Qeshm Island Naval Base, the Chinese Navy¡¯s 112 Harbin guided missile destroyer entered the military port here.
¡°My Chinese brothers are very welcome.¡± At the Qeshm Island base, Navy Deputy Commander Karim cordially received the visiting Chinese navy personnel.
Iraqi Navy Deputy Commander Karim, Qeshm Island Base Commander Costa, Captain Abdul of the Baghdad aircraft carrier and others welcomed the visiting Chinese brothers.
This was an exchange operation. Looking at the destroyer Harbin, the Iraqi navy personnel did not show any contempt, but praised it.
This warship has a reasonable design, moderate displacement, and good performance in all aspects. Especially, under the maintenance of Chinese navy personnel, it is almost like new. When Abdul touched the back of a piece of equipment in the engine room at the rear of the ship with his white-gloved hand, it was spotless.
In this regard, not even Iraq can compare. The last time Abdul visited the aircraft carrier's third-floor hangar area, there was still oil stains all over it, and he was scolded by Abdul.
Although this was left behind when they maintained the fighter aircraft, as a giant on the sea, its interior must be clean. For example, if the fighter aircraft leaks oil during maintenance, it must be covered with oil barrels at any time, because the oil pollution On the deck, it will penetrate into the steel, which will cause the ground to slide. When sailing at sea, the ship may shake, which will cause harm to people walking on it. If it causes the fighter plane to slide, The loss would be even greater.
Although Colonel Ju Xinchun, the captain of the Harbin, knew that they were sincere in what they said, his warship seemed a bit small among the other warships in this military port.
However, Commander Yang of the Navy who came with him did not feel any embarrassment. Now, the Navy has fallen behind. It is precisely for this reason that they need to work hard to catch up with the world's major powers. The central government has attached great importance to the navy. When necessary, , they can use a large amount of funds to purchase advanced warships for the navy. This time, they came here mainly to see what kind of warships they need.
Later, they boarded an Iraqi warship together, and the first one to board was the Iraqi aircraft carrier Baghdad.
The wide flight deck was empty except for the parking area on one side of the bridge, where several aircraft were staying, including two Su-27k and an early warning aircraft.
Last year, it was this kind of giant at sea that put a lot of pressure on them. Now, standing on this huge warship, they also feel a kind of momentum, a symbol of powerful force.
"Mahan's theory of sea power explains the importance of the navy. In modern warfare, the greatest threat is the opponent's aviation. If you want to protect your own navy, you must have aviation. On the coast, we rely on land-based aviation. That¡¯s enough, but at sea, we can only rely on the power of carrier aviation,¡± Abdul said.
Commander Yang felt excited after hearing these words. Indeed, without air supremacy, there is no sea supremacy. Now China can only have a coastal navy. In Nansha, they have almost no control.
"Yes, no matter how excellent our ship-to-air missiles are, even the Aegis system cannot guarantee 100% hit. As long as one fish slips through the net, it will be a catastrophic result." Commander Yang said.
Aircraft carrier, this is what they really want to get, but now, it is almost impossible to own an aircraft carrier.
There are no supporting warships and no carrier aviation. It is impossible for them to have an aircraft carrier formation at once. What's more, they don't have any technology to build aircraft carriers themselves.
¡°What a pity, the Varyag in Ukraine has been completed by 1%.Tens of years of construction work has been completed, but construction has not continued. What a pity that such a warship has been suspended for six years! Abdul sighed.
For Iraq, the more aircraft carriers, the better. The Americans have ten aircraft carriers, while Iraq only has two. Therefore, the Navy has always hoped to poach this aircraft carrier.
However, President Qusay has never approved. After the nuclear-powered aircraft carrier Basra is about to enter service, Iraq already has two aircraft carrier formations, which are enough for current use. Iraq¡¯s next aircraft carrier will be in Saada, Iraq. Construction started at the Tomb Shipyard.
