Chapter 1101 Supercavitating Torpedo
If you want to be a submarine soldier, you have to be able to endure loneliness. In submarine combat, whoever is the most patient will be the one to last!
One minute, two minutes,...an hour passed, and finally, the anti-submarine depth bomb was not dropped again.
One hour, two hours...six hours passed! Finally, the sound of the enemy's aircraft carrier formation gradually decreased, and they were far away!

"Turn on the reactor, speed up to 15 knots, and get ready to catch up!" said Captain David.
As a Jewish nation, we will never give up!
The reactor at the rear gradually increased its power from the almost shutdown state, the propeller at the rear started to rotate, and the submarine resurfaced, ready to accelerate!
The surroundings seemed very calm. The seven-blade large incline propeller at the tail of the submarine kept turning, pushing the submarine and accelerating it to the cruising speed of fifteen knots. In this case, the noise of the submarine would also increase to about 115 decibels. However, the noise was still very low. If it was not close, it would definitely not be discovered!

"Plop!" At this moment, a sound came from the sea again!
Upon hearing this sound, the sonar operator's face suddenly changed. Oh no, he's fallen into a trap!
✨ *Your reading journey starts here!* **wtr-lab.com**
The Soviets were more patient than us! Moreover, the buoys they dropped were not only active sonar buoys, but also passive sonar buoys!
As soon as the opponent started to throw, they used active sonar buoys to quickly discover our presence. But when our side sank, the opponent used passive sonar buoys instead!
This is completely opposite to the US Navy's operation. They don't follow the routine at all. It's so abominable! And their method successfully tricked the Los Angeles class!

The Ka-27 helicopter's flight time is not that long. At this time, waiting above the sea surface are four other Ka-27 helicopters that have taken over! The sonar operators have been quietly monitoring, and they are hovering in the sky! Because they know that the submarine must still be hiding below!
Now, after hearing the underwater sound, the sonar operator immediately called another Ka-27 helicopter, and this time, it directly dropped an anti-submarine torpedo!

Torpedo attack!
After the torpedo hit the water, it immediately rushed towards the target in the direction determined by the sonar buoy! At this time, the distance between the two sides was only five kilometers!
The propeller at the tail of the torpedo is rotating at high speed, and it has locked onto the target nuclear submarine!

"Release the bubbles, reduce the speed to 3 knots, and turn the rudder to the right!" Captain David ordered.
The torpedo is coming down! There is only one way for us to avoid it!
Get away!

The bubble will form an air wall on one side of the enemy, blocking the transmission of sound and completely shielding the enemy's torpedo seeker! After all, whether it is active or passive, sound is needed to transmit!
At the same time, the sudden change of direction of the submarine can also make the opponent lose the source of the target, and continue to attack in the previous direction to achieve the purpose of avoidance!
The boat began to tilt, and after turning the rudder to the right, they left the sea area they had just been in. Large bubbles filled the sea area.

"Successfully evaded." The sonar operator's back was soaked. The bubble also blocked their own sonar. It was not until the torpedo passed through the bubble and could no longer detect the target, and then exploded at the end of the voyage, that they could be sure that the evasion was successful!
David breathed a sigh of relief, he knew that this was just the beginning!
Because, as long as you are discovered, it means that there will be a large number of attacks on the sea and in the sky!
Sure enough, almost at the same time as the first torpedo exploded, the sonar operator heard the sound of a torpedo falling into the water again.

"Oh my god, what kind of weapon are they using?" The sonar operator was shocked, because the second torpedo was extremely fast! Now, the other side has exceeded a high speed of 50 knots and is still accelerating!
Supercavitating torpedo! The Soviets' weapon for striking underwater targets!
The pursuit of speed is eternal, but the resistance of sea water will slow down the speed of various surface and underwater equipment.

For a surface ship, a speed of 30 knots is already quite high, but underwater, it is almost impossible for a torpedo to break the limit of 50 knots.
Therefore, if you want to be faster, you have to think of other means. The supercavitating torpedo was invented under such circumstances.
The density of seawater is about 900 times that of air, and the resistance of seawater is also 900 times greater than that of air. If a torpedo were to sail in the air, it would be much faster than in seawater! However, a torpedo sails in seawater! This requires special means!

That is, by using certain technical means, bubbles are created on the outside of the torpedo to wrap the entire sailing object, forming a gas coat, so that the object can always sail inside the supercavitation created by itself, thereby avoiding the viscous resistance of water to the greatest extent and achieving high-speed navigation.
The Soviets have achieved this breakthrough and produced this high-speed torpedo with a speed of 200 knots!
This type of torpedo does not use a propeller, but a rocket thrust engine!
Another flaw is that this bubble will block the transmission of sonar signals. Therefore, this torpedo cannot be a self-guided torpedo. It has a wire at its tail and relies entirely on the signal transmission of the carrier aircraft or warship, submarine, or the device that launches it!

The air curtain launched by the submarine can make the torpedo lost, but it cannot deceive other equipment! For example, now, this heavy torpedo dropped by the Ka-27 helicopter is guided by the target information transmitted by the sonar buoy array after entering the water! It is first transmitted back to the helicopter that drops the sonar, then to the helicopter that drops the torpedo, and then to the torpedo!
Underwater, the torpedo has an astonishing speed, and the rocket engine at the tail spews out a hot wake, and finally, it accelerates to 200 knots!

On the Los Angeles-class submarine, everything was in a state of despair. Only Lieutenant Commander David was still rational. He shouted loudly: "Empty all the water tanks!"
The submarine's underwater maneuverability is quite poor, especially now, at a speed of 3 knots, the effect of various rudders is even more negligible! If you want to avoid this torpedo, you can only empty the seawater in the ballast tank and surface the submarine at full speed! This is the only way to avoid the opponent!

If you are hit by something like this, even if the opponent's warhead does not explode, the speed alone is enough to break your own boat into two pieces!
Terrible, so terrible!

But it was too late! After receiving the order, the submariner in charge quickly turned on the switch and used high-pressure air to empty the seawater. The submarine began to rise while shaking, and at this moment, the torpedo that came at a high speed of 200 knots had already hit it hard!
