Chapter 464 admit defeat
Close the hatch! Lotus, who had just run through the hatch, immediately pushed the hatch. At this time, the surging sea water had already poured into the cabin here.
When he tightened the hatch door, he could hear the sound of knocking on the hatch door inside, but he could not open the door! If he opened the door again, the sea water would flood the cabin here!
Thinking of the submarine soldiers who served with him, who were now killed by closing the cabin door, Lotus's tears kept flowing. He could almost imagine that his comrades would be drowned by the sea water poured in and crushed into pieces by huge pressure. However, he had no choice but to do so. If someone else ran over first and locked himself in, he could only accept his fate.
Yes, it’s just accepting one’s fate. From the first day of joining the army, aren’t you ready to sacrifice at any time? Being a submarine soldier is so dangerous!
"The torpedo compartment has entered the water, and the door has been closed." The first mate said to Johnson: "There are eight torpedo soldiers who have not withdrawn."
Johnson nodded: "This is all my fault." He was also very depressed and did not withdraw. He had no choice except death, but death, and there was no second choice.
"Report the damage control situation," Johnson said.
At this moment, the hull began to gradually tilt. Due to the water inlet of the torpedo compartment in the head, the gravity in the front increased, and the head of the submarine began to sink.
"Each cabin is normal, but we cannot rule out that the shell has been damaged and mechanical fatigue." said the chief mate.
The cover of the rocket deep bombs just now caused the submarine to be affected by water flow. Moreover, many deep bombs exploded nearby, which caused the submarine's shell to be more or less damaged. The torpedo cabin at the bow of the boat was the most powerful, where two deep bombs were attacked at one location at the same time, causing cracking.
Johnson nodded, and now, he knew that he was facing a more difficult choice.
"The boat bow empties one-sixth of the water in the ballast tank and balances the boat bow," said Johnson.
Now, with the bow downward, the submarine began to sink slowly. If this situation is not controlled, the submarine began to continue sinking, and eventually it would exceed the design depth of 450 meters.
In fact, if there is no other problem, the submarine's diving can far exceed the design depth. The design depth of submarines during World War II was generally more than 100 meters, but when many submarines urgently avoided, the diving depth exceeded 200 meters. Now, there is no big problem for Los Angeles-class submarines to dive into the sea water at a depth of 600 meters.
However, the boat hull has been bombarded once now! The shell has been damaged to an unknown degree. Can you dive again? If it is crushed by sea water, it will be a big problem!
At this time, you can’t dive anymore, but you should float up slowly!
"Bang." As the valve opened, the high-pressure air carried by the submarine discharged the sea water in the ballast tank outwards. At the same time, the submarine began to slowly restore balance.
"No!" At this moment, the sonar's voice became extremely embarrassing: "The Soviets are launching the second round of rocket deep bombs!"
As a sonar, he must have a keen hearing. He can not only hear the sound of rocket deep bombs falling into the sea, but also hear the sound of anti-submarine deep bombs pushing the deck when they are fired from warships.
Swish, swish!
The purpose of the Soviets is already very obvious. They will never let their side go, either sank them or force them out of the sea!
The carpet bombing just now was so powerful! The Soviets' weapons have always been so domineering, and they won by number! And can our side withstand this second round of attack?
"Empty all the ballast water cabinets and float up urgently!" Johnson issued such an order. When he issued this order, Johnson felt extremely depressed.
You can't take the lives of all the officers and soldiers of the boat to take risks. The Soviets are absolutely unwilling to accept not to kill their own side! In this case, continuing to sneak in the sea can only be destroyed under the bombing of the Soviets!
Don’t have any fantasy! The anti-submarine rockets of the Soviets are quite cheap, and they don’t need to be supplied from the supply ship. Their rockets can at least take turns to rotate them ten times! Can they withstand the opponent once or twice with a strike ten times?
If something goes wrong here, then there is no possibility of being rescued! The deep-water submarine used for rescue of American submarines is still in the United States! And the Soviets will never bring such rescue submarines with them this time, and they will not save their side!
Emergency float! All the compressed air is rapidly discharged from the sea water. At the same time, the nuclear reactor at the tail begins to operate with full power, and the horizontal rudder deflects. The entire Los Angeles-level is like a huge crocodile swimming quickly in the sea water.
Don’t worry about noise or hidden issues. When the decision is made, you have already announced your concession!
At the same time, now sail quickly and you can leave this terrible sea area before the opponent's anti-submarine rocket arrives!
The damaged torpedo compartment of the boat's bow constantly aroused more waves, and the entire submarine floated on the ground quickly!
"Wow, wow." In one minute, it floated out of the sea water at a depth of 400 meters. When the Los Angeles-class rushed out of the sea, the front half of the hull was almost suspended in the air, and then it knocked down heavily.
At this moment, the anti-submarine rockets launched successively had already covered the sea area just now. The rockets falling from the sky were simply a terrible rain of death!
On the left side of the fleet, the Fearless Class destroyer was driving at full speed, rumbled on the ground with black smoke!
As a destroyer with a full-fuel combined power, one of the characteristics of the Fearless Class is that its acceleration performance is excellent. It is just now conducting low-speed anti-submarine combat. Now, after discovering that the guy underwater is accelerating and floating, the Fearless Class has begun to accelerate. Just now, only the cruise engine is ignited. Now, the main engine is ignited and the maximum torque is quickly reached. Under the combined action, the destroyer quickly accelerates to the maximum speed!
Since you have come out, you have to accept supervision from the Soviet formation! You must block the other party’s way out!
Several other escort destroyers also started to move over.
"Rise our national flag, this is our American submarine, and the Soviets are absolutely not allowed to rush here!" Johnson recovered from the overload that had just risen and gave his men a final order as the captain of the United States.
He could almost imagine that when he returned, he would not only be dismissed, but even go to military court, and he would embarrass the US Navy! (To be continued.)
Chapter completed!
