Murderous intentions are always hidden in the depths of the dark ocean. This place is not as quiet as imagined, but sometimes it is very lively. http://www.lnwow.net Pinshu (w W W . V o Dtw . c o M)

The "Louisiana" ballistic missile nuclear submarine is an important part of the US nuclear trinity strike force. It was the last of the 'Ohio' class, and although it was launched towards the end of the century, it was in its prime and functioning well.

The "Louisiana" has just completed a two-year dry dock overhaul and has returned to combat readiness cruise missions. It will dive deep into the ocean somewhere below 100 meters, slowly moving forward at a speed of 4 knots, waiting for an order to destroy the world that it never wants to receive.

However, before officially starting the cruise mission, the "Louisiana" also accepted a "Tiger Cruise" mission. The name of this task may sound domineering, but it is actually to allow the family members of the crew to live on the ship for a period of time, improve the morale of the crew, and enhance the national defense awareness.

That's right, the Yankees not only opened up large surface ships such as aircraft carriers, but now even allow ordinary people to see the "national treasure" ballistic missile nuclear submarine.

Old Henry was a member of the 'Tiger Cruise', and his son Jackson was a lieutenant officer on the 'Louisiana', in charge of the electromechanical compartment. So he was invited to experience the interior of this big guy with an underwater displacement of 18,000 tons.

The "Tiger Cruise" will not go to certain dangerous sea areas, and the atmosphere inside the nuclear submarine is still very relaxed. Old Henry walked straight down the inner gangway of the boat, and when he saw his son, he couldn't help laughing and said, "Hey, kid, I'm so proud of you to serve on such a powerful ship."

The enthusiastic father, son Jackson, with the typical shyness of a submarine officer, "Hi, Dad, I'm glad you can come to see me."

"Your submarine is very nice."

"Yes, very good. We do two or three combat readiness cruises a year, but we are never detected. We are the most powerful in the world, quiet and deterrent. Enough to dissuade any hostile country from challenging the United States. "

"It's great to hear that, I really believe it."

The American father and son had a happy conversation, and their son Jackson needed to be on duty. Henry Sr. received a welcome pack with a to-do list in addition to various supplies.

All the family members of the crew can follow the instructions in the task list to go to different areas and different positions in the boat to communicate with the crew and learn about their work. This kind of activity is the happiest time for the crew who often live in narrow underwater spaces for one to three months.

"It's really interesting." Old Henry was very interested in this kind of activity, and he even saw the training of firefighting and leak plugging inside the boat, which was really an eye-opener. What's more, the lavatory, toilet, and shower in the boat also surprised him. The submarine life he imagined was much better.

"America is so powerful, and I am proud to be an American." In the restaurant, old Henry couldn't help expressing his love for the nuclear submarine and his motherland while eating grilled steak. The family members of other crew members who accompanied him also agreed.

The "Louisiana" can carry twenty-four "Trident" d5 ballistic missiles with a range of more than 10,000 kilometers. Each missile has eight sub-warheads. A salvo is enough to destroy a small country.

What a powerful strategic weapon this is!

Any enemy should tremble before it!

Old Henry was even allowed to visit the control room of the command module of the nuclear submarine. His son Jackson was serving as a watch officer, taking charge of the command here instead of the captain. Seeing his son issue various orders in an orderly manner, although old Henry couldn't understand, he still felt great!

However, the family members of the crew like to go to the control room to join in the fun.

It quickly becomes a bit cramped in the cramped space. Old Henry had to go to the sonar room to have a look. The 'Ohio' class is an old product of the century, and its electronic equipment has to be said to be too old.

The various screens in the sonar room still use old-fashioned picture tubes, and three or four sonar soldiers wear headphones, facing the green and black screens to distinguish the surrounding objects detected by the sonar. Henry Sr. was also invited to listen through headphones, and there were dolphins and whales calling, as well as shrimp.

Of course, nuclear submarines lurking in the deep sea must hear the sounds of various ships passing overhead. The sound of the boat engine sounds like a train, and the sound of the propeller stirring the water is very rhythmic.

The sonar soldier is very proud to say that by distinguishing these sounds, he can judge any ship and submarine in the world. Absolutely nothing can threaten this war monster cruising the deep sea.

"Sounds great!" Old Henry praised with a thumbs up, but he quickly frowned and asked the sonar soldier wearing earphones: "Uh..., what's going on with this sound? It feels weird .”

strange? The sonar soldier first looked at the sonar display screen. After distinguishing the voiceprint, he said without paying too much attention: "This is a fishing boat, it should be an ocean-going fishing boat. There are such boats everywhere on the sea. Most of them belong to Chinese people. The current national fishing boats There are too many."

But Old Henry said with some concern: "I read CNN reports that the Chinese fishing boats are all serving their military, and they specialize in collecting intelligence about our US Navy at sea, which is very threatening."

"Oh, don't worry!" The sonar soldier shook his head, "Ocean-going fishing boats in all countries in the world will be tasked with collecting military secrets from other countries, but at most they only stare at surface ships. And we are more than 100 meters underwater , quiet and steady. They can't find us."

Thinking about what my son once said, the 'Louisiana' has never been discovered, old Henry laughed at himself for his unreasonable worries, "I think I am a little too nervous, if even fishing boats can find you, It's really ridiculous."

Hehehe... There was a faint laughter in the sonar room. However, the laughter was quickly interrupted, and a huge impact sound suddenly came from inside the boat, which made people's eardrums hurt.

The sonar soldier who was still laughing immediately cursed: "Damn it, this fishing boat actually turned on the active sonar."

Old Henry, who had just been relieved, was also startled by the sudden loud noise, and couldn't help asking, "Have we been discovered?"

"No, the fishing boats may be using their sonar to search for fish schools. But for safety's sake, we have to avoid them." The sonar soldier cursed in a low voice.

avoid? The incomparably powerful "Louisiana" was forced to avoid by a fishing boat?

Soon, Jackson, who was an officer on duty, issued an order requiring the 'Louisiana' to dive another 50 meters and divert its course away from the annoying fishing boat overhead.

Seeing his father coming from the sonar room, Jackson smiled and comforted: "Don't worry, father, this kind of thing happens all the time. There are more and more fishing boats in the sea now, it just happened by chance."

After diving to a depth of more than 150 meters, the sound of the active sonar above the head was indeed much smaller, but when everyone felt that it had passed, another sound of 'duang' came.

The siren sounded again from the sonar room, 'Several ocean-going fishing boats appeared above our heads. Hell, they're all active sonar, but there's no fish around here. '

Sounds like big trouble! (To be continued.)
