Dominate South Asia

"Boom!" A depth charge exploded a few hundred meters away. Such an explosion would not cause any damage to the submarine, but the sound transmitted through the sea water was deafening, making people feel scared involuntarily.

However, these brave Pakistani submarine soldiers will bravely overcome their fear! Captain Thors is an old submarine soldier who participated in the Third Indo-Pakistani War. He was calm about the attack of this depth charge.

"It is at least a hundred meters away from us. This kind of depth charge will only be effective when it is a covering shot." Thors said.

In World War II, the biggest threat to surface ships was submarines. Therefore, to deal with submarines, escort warships would unceremoniously release a large number of depth charges to form a saturation attack, just like the minefields on the ground. In this way, any submarine within this area will be sunk. The experienced captains of escort ships are quite skilled in anti-submarine operations.

As time goes by, technology advances, and more and more advanced torpedoes emerge, finally, depth charges are on the verge of being eliminated in the Western world, while China and the Soviet Union have always been equipped with this weapon. Depth charges are the most effective way to deal with sinking submarines.

The number of depth charges dropped by the other side this time is too small, and it is not enough to threaten the Supporter-class submarines at all.

However, it is impolite not to return the favor!

When attacked by the opponent's depth charge, Thors bit his lips with his teeth. Although the opponent's goal is to make him float up, it is just a means of threat, but it is still possible that a depth charge will accidentally bomb him. The worst possibility is that he will be buried in the seabed.

Now the two sides have not declared war. But the US Navy actually used real stuff like this! Therefore, Pakistan will never let the other side bully!

"Sonar room, report the target position." Thors said.

"Twenty kilometers away, bearing 027, approaching." The sonar soldier said.

While the ship-borne helicopter was searching, the surface ship was also following the search, and the direction the other party was searching was exactly towards the submarine.

"Bang. Bang." The sonar operator heard a unique sound in his ears, and he continued to report: "The other party is using active sonar to detect us!"

Active sonar! The Americans are really bold!

There are two modes of sonar. The passive mode is commonly used. To put it simply, it is monitoring. By monitoring the various sounds emitted by underwater submarines, mainly the sounds of propellers and navigation, the position of underwater targets can be determined. The other is active. By emitting high-frequency sounds and reflecting them back, the position of the target can be determined.

Active sonar is more like a radar mode. Although this is efficient, it is easy to expose yourself, just like using a flashlight in the dark. Generally speaking, this will only be done when the position of the target submarine has been determined and the torpedo is ready to be launched.

After various advanced torpedoes have made it easier to bind the launch data, active sonar is almost in a resting state.

But now. The Americans actually used active sonar for detection, which was simply bold and arrogant!

"Torpedo compartment, prepare a C801." Thors said.

As the order was passed to the torpedo compartment, the sailors in front acted quickly and loaded a C801 submarine-launched anti-ship missile into the torpedo tube through the automated lifting system.

Pakistan has long domesticated this anti-ship missile and developed a newer model of supersonic anti-ship missile, but it is even larger in size. Therefore, only this ordinary C801 anti-ship missile has been modified into a submarine-launched model and equipped on submarines to attack enemy surface ships.

Although submarines have various advanced detection methods. The Supporter-class submarine has a side sonar array, but. It is still difficult to provide launch data for anti-ship missiles, and now the other party has taken the initiative to expose himself, which is simply looking for death!

Since he is looking for death, Thors certainly doesn't mind sending the other party a way, especially now that the other party is determined to kill himself.

The launch data was bound, and the missile self-checked, and it was completed quickly step by step. Then, the operator sent a signal that it could be launched.

"Launch!" Thors shouted.

"Bang." As the torpedo tube in front was opened, seawater was injected into the torpedo tube. At the same time, under the push of high-pressure air, the body of the C801 missile came out of the torpedo tube and floated up quickly under the action of buoyancy.

Just as it was about to approach the sea surface, a thick smoke came out of the tail, pushing the sea water to churn, and the booster engine ignited successfully!

On the sea surface, the waves were magnificent, and the anti-ship missile that drilled out from the water with a tongue of fire was like a dragon out of the water!

It rose from the sea surface and flew to a height of dozens of meters. The radar in front of the missile began to scan the sea surface. It took only one second to lock the Aegis warship in the thirty-degree range in front, which was only ten kilometers away!

Just during the missile launch, the Aegis warship was still driving over without knowing the danger, and the distance between the two sides was shortened to only ten kilometers!

The C801 missile jettisoned its booster and continued to accelerate, while at the same time, it was about to enter the final stage of the serpentine maneuver.

The Aegis warship was originally designed to deal with the threat of anti-ship missiles in the air. It uses vertically launched air defense missiles and phased array radar systems to achieve the purpose of simultaneously shooting down multiple enemy anti-ship missiles.

However, the Aegis system consumes a lot of power, and there is no need to start it when the threat is low. Therefore, when the anti-submarine search was just carried out, the Aegis system was not started at all. Only one AN/SPS-67 search radar was working. After turning around, it discovered the anti-ship missile flying on the sea!

At this time, the opponent was only five kilometers away from us!

The sharp air defense alarm echoed throughout the Aegis warship Stout. Adams was almost stunned when he received the news from the integrated command system.

What happened?

Originally, the passive sonar could hear the sound of submarines launching submarine-launched missiles underwater. The sound of seawater pouring into the launch tube was very loud, but it just overlapped with the signal of the active sonar launched by this warship. As a result, it was covered by the active sonar signal.

Until now, the enemy was discovered at a distance of five kilometers!

At this distance, the Aegis system can no longer work!

In order to deal with saturation attacks, the Aegis system uses vertical launch. After launching a standard missile, it needs to climb for a while and then dive down. It is not as fast as the oblique arm launcher to deal with anti-ship missiles that are close to it. Moreover, the more important thing now is that the Aegis system has not been started! With these few seconds of startup, aiming, and launching time, the opponent has already hit it!

"Quick, dense array!" Adams shouted loudly. Now he knew that he would pay the price for underestimating the enemy. The P3-C anti-submarine aircraft would arrive in two minutes. In order to prevent the opponent from running away, he rashly used active sonar. As a result, he did not expect that the opponent actually used submarine-launched anti-ship missiles!

Can the dense array deal with it? This is already the last layer of defense, and there is no choice.

Following Adams' order, a dense array at the bow of the ship made a buzzing sound of hydraulic motor. This 61A1 Gatling gun emitted red flames, and the armor-piercing shells were spit out without cost, forming a barrage on the sea.

It looks spectacular, but can it intercept the missiles flying from the opposite side?

The answer is of course no! The C801 anti-ship missile, which entered the final attack process, performed a snake-like maneuver, seemingly circling an S shape without any rules, and this barrage always fell behind the anti-ship missile.

This famous close-in defense system, which is almost equipped on the main warships of the United States, has no actual combat record until now. On the contrary, during an exercise, it shot down the A-6 towing the target. If the pilot had not parachuted quickly, it would have become a hornet's nest.

The barrage was bypassed safely, and the C801 missile was attacking quickly.

The last order Adams issued was to turn left! He hoped that his warship could pass by the missiles fired from the opposite side, but unfortunately, the maneuverability of the warship could never be compared with the anti-ship missile! His full left rudder made the wide side of the warship appear in the field of vision of the C-801 missile.

"Boom!" The 165 kg semi-armor-piercing warhead tore open the side of the Stout above the waterline, and the huge explosion spread throughout the warship.

A large hole several meters long appeared on the side of the warship, and thick smoke billowed out.

The shame of the US Navy! Since World War II, the US Navy has never had a warship damaged! And now, Pakistan's submarine dared to launch an anti-ship missile and hit its own warship!

The battle is over, and the task left to the Americans is to rescue the warship and not let it sink.

Adams took the officers and soldiers to put out the fire on the warship and did his best to save the warship.

In the sky, the angry P-3C anti-submarine aircraft flew over. Facing the bombed warship, the Americans were furious, and the passive sonar buoys were almost thrown down for free. They wanted to find the submarine and let it be completely buried in the seabed!

In the rear, more P-3C anti-submarine aircraft took off. At the same time, several US Navy warships also rushed to the rescue. For them, rescuing their own warships and taking revenge were all they had to do!

The entire South Indian Ocean instantly became lively. (To be continued ~^~)
