Now, he also wanted to figure out one thing.
Which country did these two submarines belong to?
This was the Arabian Sea. Neither the submarines of the Bear Country nor the Xia Country could come over.
This was because both the Strait of Malacca and the Suez Canal were their territories.
They knew every single ship that passed through here.
So, what was up with this submarine that suddenly appeared?
However, now was not the time to think about this. The most important thing now was how to escape.
Rawls 'current plan was very simple. He wanted to act like a hooligan and force his way out.
At the same time, he was also preparing to release a communication beacon to contact the Middle East base and ask them to send anti-submarine aircraft to help.
"Turn right full helm, full ahead.”
They were Ying-chan's attack nuclear submarines.
If the other party dared to attack them, it would be equivalent to declaring war.
He reckoned that the other party would not have the guts to do so.
That was why Rawls dared to issue such an order without fear.
I'm right here, but you don't dare to hit me. You can only watch me leave.
The virginia-class attack submarine had a full displacement of 7925 tons, which was only slightly more than half of the hurrican-class attack submarine.
Its maximum underwater speed was 34 knots, while the maximum speed of the Hurricane class was 45 knots, which was 11 knots faster.
Therefore, when the Mississippi-class nuclear submarine ran at its maximum speed without any scruples, Lu Hai also issued an order.
" Change course and continue to follow them on both sides. Continue to hit it with active sonar.”
He really didn't have a good way to deal with the other party's hooligan method, so he could only use this method.
"Get through to the command center immediately. I want to talk to the commander.”
However, he might be able to ask for instructions on how to deal with this matter. Therefore, Lu Hai directly contacted Lin Xuan and informed him of the details of the situation here.
Lin Xuan thought for a moment and said,"Since they dare to come, they have to pay the price. No matter what method you use, just force them to float."”
For a submarine, surfacing was equivalent to surrendering, which was enough to humiliate the other party.
Anyway, they did not know which country the hurrican-class attack submarine belonged to. They could not find anyone to take revenge.
There was no need to sink the ship. He didn't want to have a direct conflict with Ying-chan.
With Lin Xuan's words, Lu Hai knew what to do.
Lu Hai picked up his communication device and said,""In the weapon bay, the first, third, fourth, and sixth launch tubes are filled with training bombs, the second and fifth tubes are filled with wire guided torpedoes, the seventh and eighth tubes are filled with bait torpedoes, and the ninth and tenth tubes are filled with anti-submarine missiles.”
Two minutes later, a message came from the weapon bay.
"Captain, tubes 1 to 10 have been loaded. Please instruct.”
"Tubes 1 and 3, fire at the enemy.”
"Yes, sir!"
Weng weng weng…
As the front cover of the Torpedo Launcher opened, two heavy Torpedo Training Bullets with a diameter of 600mm were fired two seconds apart.
Other than the fact that the training bullets were not equipped with a warhead, the rest were no different from live ammunition.
Since the other party dared to run away in front of him so brazenly.
Then he would use his actions to tell the other party that he would really open fire.
Rawls wasn't calm at the moment. After giving this order, he was betting that the other party wouldn't dare to do anything.
It was obvious that he had gambled wrongly this time.
The sound of the torpedoes entering the water could be clearly heard by the sonar.
The sonar officer turned pale with fright and shouted in a panic," Torpedoes. The enemy fired two torpedoes at us. They're seven nautical miles away. Their speeds are 24 knots, 28 knots, 34 knots, 42 knots, 47 knots, 53 knots, 62 knots, and 70 knots."
Two heavy torpedoes were approaching them at 70 knots.
The faces of the entire submarine were ashen. This time, they were probably done for.
At this moment, Rawls was also deeply regretful.
He didn't expect the other party to actually dare to open fire at them. They were simply audacious.
As a qualified captain, Rawls didn't wait for his death. Instead, he maintained his rationality and directed the response to this crisis.
"Monitor the movement of the torpedoes. Continue to report the speed and distance.”
"Captain, the target's speed is 70 knots and the distance is 5.4 nautical miles.”
"Right half, maintain speed and dive deep.”
After a while, Rawls continued,"" Report speed and distance."
"The target's speed is 70 knots, distance 3.2 nautical miles.”
Rawls 'eyes narrowed as he shouted," Rise to 60 meters immediately. Fire a sound decoy at the target from the weapon bay."”
The massive underwater behemoth, the Mississippi-class attack submarine, began to surface. At the same time, a sonic bomb was fired from the torpedoes.
This was also a conventional tactic for submarines to deal with torpedoes. It was also one of the most effective tactics.
Apart from that, Beloved Rawls also gave another order.
"Activate active sonar mode and fire two torpedoes at the enemy.”
He knew that there was a submarine lurking nearby, but he couldn't care less.
At the very least, he had to get through this crisis first.
After a while, another two MK48 torpedoes came out and headed straight for Boat 401.
The sound decoy fired a signal, luring two torpedoes to attack it.
However, the hurricane-class attack submarine launched intelligent torpedoes, so the sound decoy did not have much effect.
The two smart torpedoes headed straight for the Mississipi, completely ignoring the sound decoy that flew over their heads.
"Report, the other party fired two torpedoes at our submarine at a speed of 40 knots, a distance of 6.3 nautical miles, and a depth of 180 meters.”
Lu Hai expressionlessly picked up the microphone and said,""Weapons room, this is Lu Hai. Launch missiles from tubes 9 and 10 to intercept the enemy torpedoes.”
Anti-Torpedo Missile was not a new technology. This concept had been proposed a long time ago.
However, there were many difficulties that were difficult to overcome.
Therefore, this technology was still in the laboratory.
However, the hurrican-class attack submarine possessed this advanced technology.
This was also the reason why he dared to directly attack the Virginia-class attack submarine.
Boat 401's sonar was still locked on to the other party, and the line guided torpedoes maintained a stable advance.
Five seconds later, two anti-submarine missiles drilled out of the tubes. The engines started and created a large number of bubbles in the sea.
In the face of the two MK48 torpedoes, the two missiles went straight for them.
Ten seconds later, the missile's active radar locked onto the target and accelerated at the end.
"Boom! Boom!"
The huge explosion set off huge waves at the bottom of the sea, and the seawater within dozens of nautical miles was constantly turbulent.
On the Mississipi, the sonar crew was in a daze.
"Report, our torpedoes have been intercepted.”
The entire submarine fell silent.
Facing the two approaching torpedoes, they had no means of counter-attack.
"Everything is over."
This was Captain Rawls 'thought.
