Chapter 662 Submarine... Don't bump into it randomly, it's no fun if you bump into a bowli

Yes, nuclear, but this nuclear is not a nuclear bomb, but a nuclear submarine.

Yes, it was our brave naval soldiers who made that submarine with a "ball" on its head—it was actually nuclear-powered.

If an electronic reconnaissance ship had been built by then, it might have been able to discover through their radio communications that this nuclear submarine was the lead ship of the Thresher-class attack submarines, the USS Thresher (SSN593).

Speaking of which, the Thresher-class should be considered the second generation of attack nuclear submarines of the Bald Eagle. This ship was just commissioned this year, and the smell of paint on it has not yet dissipated.

As for why it came to wander around our territorial waters so soon after entering service.

Isn't this what their leader wants?

At this time, the U.S. president was no saint; he was plotting to plant mushrooms in our fields. This submarine was sent to explore the possibility of using a Washington-class strategic nuclear submarine to plant mushrooms for us.

Yes, when the Thresher-class was being developed, its emphasis was placed on its comprehensive underwater performance, including integrated sonar detection, low noise, high underwater speed, and deep diving capabilities, making it completely different from the Washington-class, which has a turtle-back design.

Its smaller size allows it to navigate in complex waters, especially in the East China Sea, which is generally shallow.

There are capable people in the Bald Eagle!

Although its eye for choosing opponents is not great, it is currently the pinnacle of the Blue Star in terms of adapting to local conditions and selecting appropriate equipment to carry out missions.

Weapons like nuclear submarines are highly classified, no matter which country on Earth has them.

When it carries out its missions, even its whereabouts are kept highly confidential. When it departs from port, no one except the highest commander of the Seventh Fleet knows where it is going.

That foolish DD-744 had no idea that beneath the surface, there was another large black fish, using their cover to quietly sneak into our home.

Without knowing, there can be no cooperation.

Given the outstanding performance and fearless fighting spirit of our "Sea Eagle", DD-744 was forced to deviate from its original course.

The stubborn captain of DD-744 pulled off another "in-and-out" maneuver, thoroughly enjoying himself and believing he had outmaneuvered the Chinese navy. Little did he know that this series of blunders had completely exposed the "big black fish" beneath the surface.

The water ripples stirred up by the propeller made the large black fish beneath the surface appear as bright as the sun in the eyes of the sonar.

And by sheer coincidence, the minesweeper Haiying, which was going head-to-head with DD-744, was equipped with the best sonar system we had at the moment, which led to the accidental discovery of this big black fish.

As mentioned earlier, destroyers are the natural enemy of submarines, regardless of whether they are nuclear-powered or not. After all, besides their enemies, submarines inherently have one formidable adversary—pressure!

Even if it uses HY-80 high-strength steel from Zenith Technology, allowing the submarine to reach a maximum diving depth of 396 meters, it still cannot defy the constraints of the laws of nature. Moreover, while the hull of this submarine was quite well-made to meet the deadline, the internal piping...

Anyway, let me tell you, this awesome thing not only created the historical record of "having an egg on its head," but in its original timeline, it also retained the title of "the first nuclear submarine to sink to the bottom."

Without the support of surface ships, the "big black fish" was caught off guard by the indiscriminate bombing by the Anshan and other ships that came to reinforce it. The "nuclear-armed big black fish" panicked and ran haphazardly to the vicinity of the "Haiying", only to be hit hard by the big bombs dropped by Liu Huaqing.

If the Thresher-class submarine hadn't had a hybrid single and double hull structure, Liu Huaqing's massive rumble would probably have made history.

So, in order to save his life, this guy had no choice but to surface!

There was no other way; the oil had leaked and the water had been poured in. If it didn't float to the surface, it would just be waiting to die!

Huh? You're saying nuclear submarines don't burn fuel?

Dude, everyone likes backups. Do you think the US might cram a few diesel backup systems into their submarines for emergency power or use during reactor shutdowns and maintenance? With their rushed piping systems, leaks are pretty normal!

However, these are not the main reasons.

The danger actually came from their futuristic "Sabrock" long-range anti-submarine rocket system. This anti-submarine rocket was quite remarkable.

After launch, it first drifts forward in the water, gradually reaching an elevation angle before the booster rocket engine ignites, causing it to rise rapidly and exit the water at an elevation angle of 30-40 degrees. It then flies towards the target at supersonic speed in the air. After reaching the predetermined flight speed in the air, the booster rocket separates from the warhead, and the warhead continues to fly using inertia. When it reaches the predetermined location, it re-enters the water and finally explodes at the set depth.

This is what you call "justice falling from the sky"! Compared to others, the "airborne firecracker" that Little Dai Mao made is simply "the worst of the worst".

It's advanced, yes. However, due to the weapon's unique characteristics, the designers on the Bald Eagle's side placed the launch ports behind the command console casing. This means these launch ports no longer enjoy the proper protection provided by the double casing.

To put it simply, the launch port is leaking!

A little leak wouldn't have been a big deal; we could have used the internal drainage system to barely manage and hold out until we reached international waters, where our own people would have come to our aid.

However, the leaking diesel fuel made the nuclear submarine afraid to activate the drainage system, even though they had the relevant knowledge about oil-gas mixture explosions firmly in mind.

There was no other way but to rise!

What? There's a minesweeper overhead?

Bah! What good is that thing? I could overturn it with my bare hands! Push it up, push it up!

Upvote! Upvote!

Oh no, it's got an "egg" on its shell... What do we do now? The nuclear submarine was dumbfounded...

Perhaps it was the two sailors standing there dumbfounded that displeased the officer. One of them, wearing an officer's cap, disregarded the regulations and forced his way onto the ladder. He peeked out from under the sailors' chests, about to curse.

"you……"

"Gah..."

The officer froze completely, his eyes wide open as if about to burst, his mouth involuntarily agape, but no sound came out, only a series of gurgling sounds.

After a long while, he shakily stretched out his finger, wanting to confirm whether the cotton swab was real.

I just touched the bomb casing.

"Click..."

From the fuse, the mechanical engagement sound, signifying the completion of the depth-holding operation, was clearly heard.

The sailors on the control tower, including the officer, instantly lost all color from their faces, turning deathly pale.

While on the capsized minesweeper, Liu Huaqing, whose leg was stuck, also heard the "click".

He felt a sense of relief; he had made a profit!

Three people took down a 3,000-ton submarine—that's an incredibly good deal!

only……

It seems my dream of owning a large warship can only remain a dream.

"Long live China..."

Liu Huaqing subconsciously closed his eyes, awaiting the earth-shattering destruction.
