Chapter 636: Being Targeted

"Don't panic, calm down! This sea area is a safe zone, just like our backyard." The unprecedented situation alarmed the captain of the 'Louisiana'. The majestic lieutenant colonel Let everyone feel at ease.

"Families, please leave the central control room immediately, return to your cabin to rest quietly, and wait for orders." The lieutenant colonel first drove old Henry and others away, then walked to the officer on duty, and asked the other party's response methods and records Then he said, "There is no problem with your handling."

Fishing boats, I have encountered many in the past. But things are a little different today. Second Lieutenant Jackson couldn't help reminding: "Sir, there are a total of six ocean-going fishing boats operating within five nautical miles around us, and all of them have activated active sonar. This is very abnormal."

Needless to say, Jackson, the captain of the lieutenant colonel also heard the sound of "duang, duang" in the boat. The sound was surprisingly loud, which only meant that the source of the sound was very close to him, and the power was astonishingly large.

"Where are we now?" The captain asked the steering officer, and the electronic chart quickly gave clear information.

This "Tiger Cruise" departed from Changi Naval Port in Singapore, one of the most loyal dog legs of the United States in Southeast Asia. According to the data given by the inertial navigation system, the 'Louisiana' is located on the edge of the South China Sea, which means it ran into trouble just after leaving the port.

If it is another US military ship, you can call for support if you encounter trouble. But now the "Louisiana" is in an environment of more than 150 meters underwater, and even the extremely long-wave communication has been interrupted, and it is impossible to contact the outside world at all.

Moreover, as a ballistic missile nuclear submarine, concealment is the most powerful weapon of the 'Louisiana', and it cannot just call for help. Quiet cruising is its hallmark.

"Increase the power and sail halfway." The captain of the lieutenant colonel ordered. The 'Ohio' class can run up to 25 knots at the fastest. Although it is not as good as the 'Sea Wolf' or even the 'Virginia', it is already enough to dominate the world.

And now, no matter what happened, it was a matter of writing it into the logbook and handing it over to the Office of Naval Intelligence for investigation. What the "Louisiana" has to do now is to get out of the current dangerous environment.

"Maybe we just happened to encounter a few Chinese fishing boats equipped with high-power active sonar, but high power doesn't mean anything. It is impossible for them to have high-precision sonar receiving and analysis equipment, let alone our voiceprint information. We leave Here it is."

Theoretically speaking, the absence of voiceprint information means that the submarine cannot be recognized from the ocean clutter environment. But this time the captain's words did not reassure the officers and soldiers in the central control room, because the six fishing boats started active sonar together, which was too weird.

The "Louisiana" in the deep sea is like a huge black fish. The propeller stirs the sea water and pushes it to leave the current sea area. But ten minutes later, the sonar soldiers came to warn again: "Sir, those six fishing boats are following."

Fuck, are you following up?

The positions of six fishing boats have been marked on the electronic chart. If the nuclear submarine sails halfway, it will be impossible to get rid of these guys who are desperately trying to get close. Seeing this obvious voyage track, even the captain of the lieutenant colonel was stunned for a few seconds.

Can't? This has never happened before.

The Chinese have been clamoring that the South China Sea is their territory, but in fact it has always been under the actual control of the United States. In order to prevent Chinese warships and submarines from rushing out of the first island chain from the South China Sea, the Americans have military bases in the Philippines and Singapore to guard them.

The Chinese people's reclamation of islands has made a lot of noise internationally in the past few years. The reason is that these actions made the US Navy, which was playing casually in the South China Sea, very upset.

It's even more troublesome now. Yingjiang's nuclear submarine was spotted by a fishing boat not long after it left the port-if this fishing boat can spot a nuclear submarine, then it's okay? Rabbit, what black technology is your fishing boat equipped with? Will it go against the sky?

"Dive another 50 meters, all, leave immediately." The captain of "Louisiana" realized the danger,

Being targeted by a few fishing boats is no fun. This means that in the future, Yingjiang's nuclear submarines will never want to break into the South China Sea casually.

The fishing boats in the South China Sea dare not say how advanced they are, but the ones that pull out one or two thousand boats are like playing for fun. This is more efficient than any sonar monitoring network, and it still has artificial intelligence.

But for the crew on the "Louisiana", a big question came up - they also encountered fishing boats in the past. Not to mention fishing boats, what kind of boats have you never encountered? Active sonar has also been encountered a lot, but it has never been the case today. This is the rhythm of being closely watched!

Don't think too much about why? There is one thing that is unacceptable but already obvious. The captain of the lieutenant colonel said to the duty officer Jackson with a gloomy face: "It is recorded in the logbook, our voiceprint information should have been mastered."

The leakage of voiceprint information is like the criminal's name, appearance, and identity information being mastered by the police. No matter where you go in the future, as soon as you show up, the possibility of being targeted will increase greatly.

Now computers can replace manual comparison data, which is fast and convenient, and enemy submarines and anti-submarine ships will be able to easily distinguish the sound of the "Louisiana" from a pile of noise when it is sailing.

"Damn it!" Thinking that he would never be able to play happily in the future, the captain of the lieutenant colonel couldn't help but cursed. However, the nuclear submarines were all about to flee now, and the six fishing boats overhead did not let them go.

On the surface of a refitted thousand-ton fishing boat, more than a dozen PLA naval officers and soldiers in plain clothes couldn't find the north with joy. In front of them was a complete set of sonar systems, and it was this newly modified sonar that caught the nuclear submarine on the bottom of the sea.

Although this set of sonar transducers is not as big as those on warships, they can use active sonar unscrupulously, and the signal feedback strength is dozens of times higher than that of passive sonar. They clearly watched the 'Ohio' class nuclear submarine dive from a water depth of 120 meters to a water depth of 220 meters, which was already approaching the maximum diving depth of the 'Ohio' class nuclear submarine.

On the fishing boat, a sonar soldier said cheerfully: "The voiceprint comparison results are out. This is the last USS 'Louisiana' of the US Navy's 'Ohio' class. It is completely consistent with the characteristics in the new database."

A naval officer also grinned from ear to ear, "These bastards are really running towards our territory ostentatiously, they are just trying to bully us so we can't recognize them. But now that we have the voiceprint data in our hands, in the future we will Within a distance, the passive sonar of warships and submarines can find it."

The boss of the ship walked in from outside the cabin wearing a migrant worker camouflage uniform, and he also had the toughness of a sea militia. Seeing that everyone was laughing, he asked happily, "Since we found it, is there a way to sink it?"

"That won't work, we can only drive it away." The officer felt that it would be good to be able to identify the target from the noise of the sea and drive him away. "In fact, it has already begun to escape in Canada, and we will report the situation of this mission to our superiors immediately."

"How boring is that?" The ship's boss obviously felt that such a tossing was not refreshing, "We have to teach enough lessons once, and these Americans know how powerful they are. Don't they just think that sinking will cause too much trouble? We can let them It floats up!"

float up? Both the officers and the soldiers looked at each other in blank dismay. The opinion of the boss of the ship sounded good, but the superior did not issue such an order, and the consequences would be unpredictable.

"Don't worry about it, I'll take care of it."

"Boss, don't mess around!"

"How can I mess around? I'm just a fisherman, and I can't cast a net!"
