Chapter 782: Torpedo hits fish and explodes prematurely?
In a sea area in the southern part of Longguo, deep under the sea.
The United States' SSN-773 nuclear-powered submarine.
The SSN-173 nuclear-powered submarine is the main combat nuclear submarine of the Seventh Fleet of the United States Navy that performs anti-submarine and intelligence surveillance missions.
It is truly amazing that such a huge creature can sneak silently in the vast ocean.
At this time, the crew reported.
"Report to Captain Jeffrey, a nuclear-powered submarine from the Dragon Nation has been spotted!"
Upon hearing this, Jeffrey immediately stepped forward to check the data returned by the sonar detection.
"very good!"
"Immediately send the relevant location coordinates to the SSN-784 nuclear submarine."
"Tell them that the Dragon Nation's nuclear submarine strike group has not yet discovered us and can launch an attack immediately!"
Ever since Thomas decided to organize a coalition force and gather in a sea area in the southern part of Dragon Country.
Jeffrey and several other nuclear submarines had already arrived at a certain sea area in the southern part of the country.
Hiding in the depths of this sea, waiting for the right opportunity.
Now, I finally found the opportunity.
"Yes!"
The crew received the order and immediately sent the intelligence they had gathered to friendly ships.
soon.
In a sea area not far from the SSN-773 nuclear submarine, the SSN-784 nuclear submarine of the Seventh Fleet of the Eagle Country received the specific location of the Dragon Country's nuclear-powered submarine strike group.
Captain Reed was overjoyed.
"Commander Thomas said that the Dragon Nation is determined to survive and we must help them do so."
"Remember, don't be stingy with your torpedoes later. Hit them hard and make sure the Dragon Nation's nuclear submarines have nowhere to hide or retreat!"
He heard that the battles at sea had not been going well in recent years.
Relying on its geographical advantage, Longguo destroyed many warships of the coalition fleet in this sea area.
And when the Seventh Fleet clearly expressed its intention to retreat, they took advantage of the Allied Forces' inattention and wiped out the entire Sakura Country fleet.
Commander Thomas was furious and threatened to make the Dragon Kingdom's naval fleet pay a heavy price.
As the core strike force of the Seventh Fleet, Lid naturally took on this responsibility.
Not only did he want Longguo to pay a heavy price, he also wanted them to remember it.
Although this place is very close to the waters of Longguo, it is not a place where one can act recklessly.
When the sonar operator, torpedo operator and other crew members heard it, they immediately saluted and received the order.
"Yes!"
Reed sneered as he looked at the Dragon Country nuclear submarine strike group exposed to the attack range.
"There is a proverb in the Dragon Kingdom that says: A strong dragon cannot overpower a local snake!"
"Today, the Eagle Country's Seventh Fleet will break this proverb and make Dragon Country understand."
"In the face of absolute strength, even at their doorstep, the Eagle Sauce Country will still beat them down!"
They had been staying underwater the whole time and didn't know much about what was happening on the surface.
No one knew why the coalition forces suffered successive setbacks, were frequently attacked and interfered with by the Dragon Country, and even lost several warships.
In Lid wanted to come.
The Long Kingdom was able to accomplish all this probably because it deployed its proud 055 destroyer.
In other words, they also sent out their sixth-generation stealth fighter jets that had just entered service.
otherwise.
With the Seventh Fleet commanded by Commander Thomas and the coalition forces of various countries, the Dragon Kingdom will definitely not gain any advantage.
Of course.
It is also possible that Commander Thomas deliberately let these younger brothers who are a little restless and frequently make small moves suffer a little and recognize who is the boss.
As Reed was thinking this, the torpedo soldier reported on the communicator.
"Captain, the torpedoes are ready. Shall we fire them?"
"emission!"
Reed gave the order without hesitation.
Since Commander Thomas had given the order, he had no reason to hesitate.
In this battle, we must not only win a great victory, but also demonstrate the style and momentum of the United States' Seventh Fleet!
Let this sea area become the burial place of the Dragon Kingdom’s Suzaku War Zone and the Xuanwu War Zone!
As soon as Lid finished speaking, the torpedo soldier immediately launched the torpedo.
There was a "puff" sound.
Reed saw from the cabin that the SSN-784 nuclear submarine launched a torpedo and rushed towards the direction of the Dragon Country nuclear-powered aircraft carrier strike group.
however!
Just as Reed was watching the torpedo with interest and waiting for the news that the torpedo hit.
"Bang~"
A dull explosion suddenly sounded.
The aftermath of the explosion caused ripples in the sea water, and even the submarine began to shake.
"what happened?"
Lid picked up the communicator and asked.
There was no response from the torpedo soldiers because after the torpedo was launched, they were unable to track its information in real time.
Soon.
The voice of the communications soldier came from the communicator.
"Captain, 30 seconds after the torpedo was launched, it seemed to have hit a school of fish while it was undercover, and it detonated prematurely..."
Upon hearing this, Reed was surprised and said with a smile.
"My dear signalman, do you believe this yourself?"
"The torpedoes in the SSN-784 nuclear submarine are the latest MK48ADCAP series torpedoes from the United States."
"Multiple fuze redundancies, upgraded target recognition algorithms, and optimized materials and structures specially modified and upgraded by the R&D team."
"You tell me, the torpedo hit the school of fish and exploded prematurely?"
"Ha ha……"
Reed was so angry that he laughed and questioned.
"Are you doubting the performance of this torpedo, or are you blaming the torpedo soldiers for not doing enough daily protection and maintenance?!"
Hear this.
The torpedo soldier who was still in the channel wanted to explain himself, but knowing that Captain Reed was angry, he didn't dare to say anything.
They could only silently blame the signalmen and put the blame on them.
Torpedo soldiers perform maintenance and upkeep on torpedoes every day. There is no possibility that the torpedoes will be triggered and detonated prematurely due to problems with the torpedoes themselves.
The communications soldier was so choked by Lid's words that he didn't know how to respond.
But it is true.
After the torpedo is launched, they track its movements throughout the process to determine whether it hits the target accurately.
but……
The torpedo exploded prematurely after hitting a fish when it was still several nautical miles away from its target.
This is also the reason why we suddenly heard an explosion nearby just now.
Simultaneously.
The signalman also observed.
The fish that the torpedo hit was not actually a big fish like a whale, but just a small fish the size of a big crucian carp.
As for why the torpedo exploded when it hit such a small fish, he couldn't figure it out.
"Why don't you speak?"
Reed asked.
The signalman held it in for a long time, but still decided to stick to what he had seen.
"Captain, the torpedo did hit a fish and exploded prematurely!"
Hear this.
Reed's anger, which had just subsided, rose again.
"Still being stubborn?!
Signalman: "We have been tracking the whole process. If the captain doesn't believe it, you can come and see!"
Reed didn't want to argue with him.
Now is the critical moment to strike the Longguo nuclear submarine battle group. If we waste time and let them escape or are discovered by them, we cannot be blamed.
"Look, I'll come and see, but not now!"
"Torpedo soldiers, get ready. Continue firing three torpedoes in a row from the original position!"
"This time I want to see with my own eyes, can a torpedo explode prematurely after hitting a fish?"
