I want to sell it, especially the scrap metal in Kola Port."

Port Cora?

Qin Tao's eyes lit up: "It seems that I need to go there. The big guys there need my floating dock to transport them."

"Okay, then I'll wait for you."

Putting down the phone, Qin Tao's eyes flashed.

"Kola Port?" Wu Shengli muttered the name: "There seems to be a graveyard of Lao Maozi's naval nuclear submarines there, right?"

If you remove the appearance, it's clearly true. Qin Tao didn't dare to correct his father-in-law's little doubt, lest his father-in-law lose face.

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! During the Cold War, both the United States and the Soviet Union built a large number of nuclear submarines. They had powerful underwater nuclear submarine forces. The other three rogues were almost negligible.

After all, they don’t even have a fraction of it.

The important significance of nuclear submarines is a second nuclear counterattack to ensure nuclear deterrence. After all, even if there is only one strategic nuclear submarine hidden underwater, it can use the mushroom bombs it carries to make the enemy pay an unacceptable price. In this

Under such circumstances, the enemy must consider whether to launch a nuclear strike against the enemy at the risk of both death.

Therefore, although both sides have the power to destroy the other many times, they must not take risks without ensuring their own safety. It is precisely because of this nuclear deterrence that the Cold War did not turn into a hot war.

What is the specific number? You can cite some data. For example, from 1956 to 1968, the Soviet Navy received a total of 188 submarines, 56 of which were nuclear-powered submarines. These nuclear submarines formed the first-generation underwater nuclear fleet, and then

, that is, the second and third generations. The models are complex and the total number is large, including 91 ballistic missile nuclear submarines, 65 cruise missile nuclear submarines, and 89 attack nuclear submarines.

However, when the Red Empire disintegrated, the newly formed Mao Navy took over most of the assets of the former Soviet Navy. The number of submarines was no longer very large. Many of these nuclear submarines built during the Cold War were retired and were in the hands of the Mao Navy.

, the number of nuclear submarines was further reduced, and finally only thirty or forty were left.

Where did the nuclear submarines go after they were decommissioned?

Lao Maozi only built them and did not dismantle them. These decommissioned nuclear submarines were pulled to the Kola Peninsula and then hung on the dock to bask in the sun and wind.

As for why it is the Kola Port, the reason is very simple. Just look at the map and you will know that the entire Kola Peninsula is the base camp of Lao Maozi's Northern Fleet!

There are many naval bases and ports on the Kola Peninsula. In the Nerpichia Bay of the Kola Peninsula, there is the Gagievo base where Lao Maozi’s Northern Fleet submarine is located. In front of this base are Prosky and Yagir.

The small island serves as a barrier and is very safe. As for Kola Port, where the submarine cemetery is located, it is not very far from here.

Therefore, you can just drag the decommissioned submarine over, which is quite convenient. Of course, even this kind of thing sometimes cannot be done well. For example, when dragging the submarine to the cemetery, the submarine actually sank.

!After the investigation into the accident, senior officials of the Northern Fleet had to take the blame and resign.

Of course, it's not that Lao Maozi doesn't dismantle nuclear submarines. There are still workers there, and the dismantling work is still going on. The problem is that just after the reactor of one submarine was dismantled, five decommissioned submarines were sent over, so

, it was simply not dismantled in time.

Under this circumstance, the number of decommissioned nuclear submarines in the Port of Kola is increasing.

Therefore, when Boris went to the Northern Fleet to arrange for the collection of rags, the Northern Fleet was very happy. It was definitely a good thing for someone to buy their rags.

It costs money to dismantle a nuclear submarine. If you sell it directly, you can still make money, so why not?

However, for Qin Tao, a second-rate dealer, he has to think about it.

"Almost all of the first-generation nuclear submarines built by Lao Maozi have been decommissioned and are tied up on the Kola Peninsula." Qin Tao said: "The technology of these nuclear submarines is outdated and of no value to us. After they are brought back, they may not be returned to us.

There will be a nuclear leak or something, and we don't have to deal with the garbage for the old man."

This is really garbage. Whether it is the Soviet Union or the United States, it costs a lot of money to dismantle a nuclear submarine, especially the dismantled nuclear materials, which is even more troublesome and costs a lot of money to dispose of.

"Yes, if an advanced submarine can be towed back, our navy can provide funds for dismantling it. After all, it is useful to our navy, but there is no need for those backward models."

"Advanced submarine, I haven't retired it yet."

Speaking of advanced ones, Qin Tao can certainly name a lot. Ballistic missile nuclear submarines, such as the Typhoon class, are codenamed 941-class nuclear submarines. They are the largest underwater monsters. Six of them are currently in service.

There is another ship under construction. Of course, given Lao Maozi's situation, this ship will definitely be dismantled and cannot be built at all.

The cruise missile nuclear submarine is undoubtedly the Oscar class, also known as the 949 class. The sinking of the Kursk made this type of submarine famous around the world. Of course, it is not a good reputation.

This kind of nuclear submarine is also Lao Maozi's unique equipment. It exists specifically for anti-aircraft carriers. It uses its own anti-ship missiles with a range of more than 500 kilometers to launch fatal strikes against U.S. aircraft carrier formations.

As for attack nuclear submarines, the most advanced one is of course the Type 971 Akula-class nuclear submarine. This submarine has a smooth shape and looks like a shark in the sea. In later generations, it will still be the main force of the Korean Navy.

When talking about the classification of these submarines, some people will always say that attack nuclear submarines escort ballistic missile nuclear submarines, and that two submarines form an underwater formation together. This statement is definitely amateurish.

Submarine communication is quite complicated underwater. Radio cannot be used, and sonar will reveal its position. Therefore, if two submarines act together, they are definitely looking for death.

Ballistic missile nuclear submarines and cruise missile nuclear submarines all carry torpedoes. When they need to fight, they have to rely on themselves. They are lonely ghosts underwater, and they live alone.

At this time, Qin Tao went through Lao Maozi's advanced submarine in his mind, and finally shook his head helplessly, forget it!

"I heard that a few months ago, when a Type 941 nuclear submarine was conducting a firing exercise in the Bering Sea, the missile did not launch from the launch tube, resulting in a serious accident and the launch tube cover was damaged. Will this submarine be decommissioned?

"At this moment, a naval officer said.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "A small accident like that can be repaired. How can I be willing to decommission a submarine of this level?" Qin Tao shook his head.

After all, he knew that the six Typhoon-class ships were all Lao Maozi's treasures. It was not until 2013 that Lao Maozi had to gradually phase out the Typhoon class due to various reasons.

"It's impossible for others, but if Mr. Qin takes action, there will definitely be a chance."

Hearing that this person continued to lie, Qin Tao became a little curious: "What is your name?"

"My surname is Yang, and my last name also contains the character "xi"."

Yang Xi and Qin Tao looked at the person in front of him in surprise: "Are you the captain of our first nuclear submarine? A captain who has participated in nuclear submarine durability experiments, extreme depth experiments, and underwater ballistic missile launch experiments?"

"Mr. Qin, how did you know?"

This is a mistake. These things are all confidential! How did Qin Tao know?

In the past, I could push it to Wu Shengli, but now, Wu Shengli is right in front of me!

Qin Tao swallowed and decided to change the topic directly: "Old Yang, since you have made a request, I will take you with me when I go out this time. Even if I can't get it back, I will let you see it."

"That's great." Yang Xi said: "Since I left the submarine and returned to the shore, I felt like I had lost my soul all day long. This time I followed Leader Wu to join in the fun and wander around here. I didn't expect that I could still fish.

What an opportunity!"

Yang Xi was really depressed. A person who has been wandering on the sea all his life, once he returns to land, is like a bird locked in a cage, longing for the outside world.

Unexpectedly, I actually got this opportunity.

As a submariner, Yang Xi is full of expectations for Lao Maozi's submarine. Although Qin Tao got one back in the past, it was dismantled when he got it back. He was still at sea at that time, so he had no chance, and it was an ordinary one.

Diesel electric submarine.

This time it’s different, I went specifically to Lao Maozi’s nuclear submarine base to see it!
