After hearing this, Captain Hans Edmenger was shocked: "Report the target position immediately."

"It's about three nautical miles to my right, approaching us."

"Note, take off the carrier-based anti-submarine aircraft immediately, immediately!" Hans shouted loudly. After finishing his words, he looked at Brigadier Bundy on the side. Brigadier Bundy nodded and said to the radio: "Report to the fleet commander, find suspicious underwater targets, and screening is being carried out."

At the beginning, the z-17 class destroyer had five 127mm naval guns, but shortly after it was built, the two 127mm naval guns at the rear were removed, and a helicopter take-off and landing platform and helicopter hangar were arranged in the original space.

When the helicopter appeared, the German Navy was extremely excited. In the past, only warships of about 10,000 tons were convenient for carrying seaplanes. Now, even destroyers with a capacity of more than 3,000 tons can be carried.

Moreover, the main task of this kind of destroyer is anti-submarine, so the helicopter is also a special anti-submarine aircraft after improvement!

In this era, surface ships are mainly used to deal with submarines. By throwing deep-water bombs to attack the opponent, it is almost a chance. If you go down a few, the submarine will explode. If you don’t have to go back and forth for a few days, you will throw hundreds of them, but you won’t get anything.

Germany, which guides the entire era of science and technology, certainly will not allow such a scene to occur. The main surface anti-submarine ships have begun to be equipped with anti-submarine helicopters.

This is modified based on Hummingbird 2.

The ordinary Hummingbird 2 was originally a general-purpose helicopter in the Navy and had great modification potential. Now, the dedicated anti-submarine type is improved in the rear crew cabin.

This crew cabin, which can accommodate 15 members, has now occupied a quarter of the space by a large instrument. It has two display screens. At this time, in front of the instrument, two people are preheating before starting.

In the second half, there are densely packed equipment, the small ones are sonar buoys, and the large ones are deep-water bombs used for anti-submarine submarine.

Under the short wings on both sides, two anti-submarine torpedoes are hung.

With the order issued, the five crew members were ready to take off within three minutes. The helicopter was pushed out of the hangar, and the folded rotor was stretched. Several people were busy. Soon, as the 2,000-horsepower engine on the top roared, the helicopter shook a few times on the small helicopter deck and then pulled up.

Anti-submarine operation begins!

Compared with warships, what are the advantages of anti-submarine helicopters?

The first thing is the speed! When the surface ships are anti-submarine, in order to avoid their own noise interference, the speed is very slow, which may give the other party plenty of time to escape, and the anti-submarine helicopter can arrive at the scene as fast as possible!

Three nautical miles, it almost arrived after taking off, and the time was very short.

At this time, it can only be said that Captain Bill was lucky enough. He operated his periscope and kept looking at the fleet. At this time, his eyes fell on a destroyer.

There is a special platform at the rear of the destroyer. A uniquely shaped aircraft was launched on that platform, and then the aircraft flew up.

When his eyes fell on the plane's short wing, he was frightened by the things mounted on it.

What is that? Torpedo!

"Quick, dive, dive to an emergency of one hundred meters!" Boatman Bill shouted loudly, recycling his periscope.

At this time, the ballast tank was filled with water. After receiving the order, the helmsman began to put the elevator to the maximum position, and the engine-man pushed the speed to the maximum. As the speed of the propeller at the tail accelerated, the water splashed, the hull tilted, and began to dive.

A famous sailor, as long as he was idle, was running quickly towards the bow. Soon, the torpedo cabin of the bow was full of people. As they moved, the gravity of the bow increased and the diving angle became larger.

The aircraft with a strange shape should be a German helicopter. The United States is said to be developing the same equipment, but it has made little progress. The German warships have actually begun to be equipped in large quantities!

If you fall behind once, you will never catch up.

Although I don’t know what the other party is going to do, just look at the torpedo and you will know that you may be coming to trouble yourself. Now, protect yourself first and talk about it!

The instructions of the submarine's depth meter began to increase slowly, and everyone was kept silent, only the sonar soldiers were listening carefully. The sound of the engines of the nearby fleet driving the propeller to rotate was the greatest, and in this sound, other soft sounds seemed to be accompanied by.

"Pubo, pubo." It's like something falling into the water.

Could it be the deep bullet? Thinking of this, the sonar soldier frowned immediately, but then he stretched out again.

It shouldn't be that the noise of falling into the water from the deep bullet was not that big. What kind of thing should have fallen into the water. But he couldn't guess what it was.

At this time, the anti-submarine helicopter had already flown above the target, and a pilot in the rear cabin began to throw things down according to the instructions.

It's not big, almost the size of a military backpack, and at the same time, it's not very heavy.

The helicopter circled around the sea area where the target had just been discovered, and while he was spinning, one or two. During the time of circle, he put about eight.

All the money is thrown away. The cost of each one is almost 8,000 euros, but war is a burning money, so there is no need to worry too much.

After throwing it away, the staff on the front operating table, wearing headphones, began to listen carefully.

This is the latest German technology achievement, sonar buoy!

Sonar has only appeared in recent years. Underwater, by listening to sounds, you can identify enemies, propellers, and engines, and noise will appear. Listening to sounds can infer where the target is.

However, the sonar of submarines and surface ships is flawed. Once the target is far away and the direction is incorrect, it may disappear. Now, every sonar buoy placed can be heard in one direction. Several sonar buoys circle around the sea surface and form an array, so that you can hear it more clearly.

"The goal is below, diving is underway, with a position of 039, and the depth is about 80." Just as one person was listening carefully, another person was operating the instrument in front of him, and the analyzed data had been displayed on the display screen in front.

"Prepare to throw anti-submarine torpedoes," shouted the captain.
