When the aircraft carrier formation sails at full speed, the sound of the propeller stirring the water flow, the sound of the bow breaking the water surface, the sound of the engine, and various noises intertwined together, increasing in geometric multiples. One of the consequences of these is the loss of underwater monitoring!

Fish and bear's paws cannot be both. The US aircraft carrier formation is not invincible. Although it is showing off its power in the sea and air, it is still weak underwater.

Yes, the US aircraft carrier formation has obvious advantages on the water, but, against the tit-for-tat, the Soviet Union also developed a series of nuclear submarines to pose a new threat. In order to protect underwater safety, the Los Angeles-class submarines have huge responsibilities.

If the target had not accelerated with its own aircraft carrier formation, it would have been difficult for it to discover the other side! The Groton nuclear submarine, the seventh of the Los Angeles-class, accompanied by the Nimitz navigation and protected underwater safety. Just as the aircraft carrier formation accelerated, the Groton also followed. However, in order to prevent accidents, it still released its towed array sonar.

Just when he was about to patrol and catch up with the aircraft carrier formation, it found a special noise under the water. This sound was a bit like a fish blowing bubbles, but a little bit different!

The sonar with excellent listening skills listens carefully and uses advanced American technology to build a submarine. The sonar performance is also extremely excellent. When the electronic computer is carefully comparing, it finds that this signal is different from any sound in its own signal library!

But, for sure, this sound was not made by nature! It is definitely a new Soviet submarine!

After reaching this conclusion, the Groton released a communication buoy and told the mothership that it began the underwater hunt!

The most important task of attacking nuclear submarines during the Cold War was to search for enemy nuclear submarines!

Moreover, after the communication buoy is released, the mothership will definitely send other anti-submarine forces to coordinate the anti-submarine! Just a few days ago, a nuclear submarine on its side was tortured by the entire Soviet aircraft carrier formation. The Soviets are really bad at attacking! They dare to really use force! They use hundreds of rocket deep bombs to bomb their submarines!

The submarine was controlled by the Soviets, and the secrets on it were obtained by the Soviets. This is another major loss for the United States! Now, the submarine is tied up at the port of Chahbahar, waiting for diplomatic verbal wars.

At this time, if one side also captured a Soviet submarine, the effect would be different!

The same idea not only emerged in the mind of Captain Groton Bathir, but when the information was sent to the aircraft carrier Nimitz, all the naval executives, including Jonathan, were moved.

Just now, Jonathan wanted to dispatch the Tomcat fighter jet, which was only a deterrent for the Soviet aircraft carrier formation. Maybe it could even be attacked by the Soviet aircraft carrier formation air defense circle. This kind of accidental fire was not recognized by the White House. Now, a new opportunity has come quietly!

Behind the formation of our own, a Soviet nuclear submarine appeared! Although the Los Angeles-class report now has an unknown target, there is no doubt that this is definitely a Soviet nuclear submarine! If that is the case, then a unique anti-submarine competition will be staged in front of the Soviet Navy! Let's see how the Soviet Navy respond!

After all, before the Soviet carrier-based aviation rigor matured, the only task of the Soviet Navy was to protect their nuclear submarines, reach the ocean, and create opportunities for their nuclear submarines to launch ballistic missiles!

"Change to a full anti-submarine. Take off the S3 anti-submarine aircraft. You must force the Soviet submarine to the sea!" Jonathan said: "This time, let the Soviets know our true strength!"

The US Navy's aircraft carrier is the real maritime giant. Relying on ejection takeoff, it can make the types of carrier-based aircraft more diverse. In addition to the Tomcats used for air defense combat, A-7 for ground attacks, and Bumblebee for all-rounders, they also have special fixed-wing anti-submarine aircraft S3!-3 anti-submarine aircraft developed by Lockheed. It is the first carrier-based anti-submarine aircraft equipped with turbofan engines in the United States to replace the S-2 anti-submarine aircraft. In addition to continuous search, surveillance and attacks of submarines, and anti-submarine forces such as aircraft carriers and task force, it can be used as a tanker, anti-submarine command and control aircraft and electronic countermeasures aircraft after modification. It can be said that this is also a versatile aircraft.

After entering service in 1975, this anti-submarine aircraft has become an important anti-submarine force in the aircraft carrier formation!

Now, after receiving the order, the two S-3 anti-submarine aircraft that were urgently lifted from the side lift quickly arrived at the catapult position. The four pilots were sitting in an anti-submarine aircraft, namely the chief and co-pilot of the front cabin and the tactical coordinator of the rear cabin and the sonarman. At the same time, two torpedoes were mounted under the wings and could be put into anti-submarine operations at any time. In addition to the outside that can be seen, there are also deep-water bombs on the hanger inside the belly of the aircraft.

The tf34 turbofan engine roared. After the emergency ejection was launched, the two anti-submarine aircraft rushed towards the target position indicated by the Groton. They circled nearby and kept throwing the sonar buoy.

Although anti-submarine has been around for decades, the basic method remains unchanged. Using geometric principles to form an array through long-distance sonar buoys is the most effective way.

On the anti-submarine aircraft, the sonar was listening carefully. In addition to his sensitive ears, the onboard equipment was also providing the greatest help. The 1832a multi-purpose digital computer of Yunifanke is providing fast computing to the acoustic data processor, synthesizing and processing by processing signals from the sonar buoy receiver.

Then, there is nothing!

Generally speaking, the noise of Soviet submarines was very huge. After the anti-submarine took off, even if the opponent's submarine was sailing at a low speed, the unique noise of the opponent's propeller could be analyzed to determine the opponent's position and movement status.

But now, the signal reported by the Groton was not received at all. The Soviet submarine seemed to be integrated into the background noise of the sea water!

The anti-submarine aircraft kept flying in the sky, and the tactical coordinators on the two aircraft were constantly changing new tactics, but there was no response underwater!

The Americans were shocked. In the past, their submarines often followed the Soviet submarines to play games on the periphery of the Soviet submarine base. The Soviet submarines were very noisy and could be heard fifty kilometers away. When sailing at full speed, the noise was even more obvious. Now it seems that the Soviets were teasing themselves?
