Chapter 1799 Anti-Submarine Helicopter

After hearing this, Captain Hans Edmenger was shocked: "Target position, report it immediately."

"Right behind me, about three nautical miles, approaching us."

"Attention, take off the carrier-based anti-submarine aircraft immediately, immediately!" Hans shouted loudly. After he finished speaking, he looked at Brigadier General Bundy, who nodded. At the same time, he said to the radio operator, "To the fleet commander. Report, found suspicious underwater targets, and is being screened."

At the beginning, the Z-17 destroyer had five 127mm guns, but soon after it was built, the two 127mm guns at the back were removed, and a helicopter was installed in the original space. Drop platform and hangar for helicopters.

When the helicopter appeared, the German Navy was extremely excited. In the past, only warships of about 10,000 tons could easily carry seaplanes, but now, even destroyers of more than 3,000 tons can carry them.

Moreover, the main task of this destroyer is anti-submarine, so the helicopter is also an improved special anti-submarine aircraft!

In this era, surface ships are mainly used to deal with submarines. It is almost a chance to hit each other by throwing depth charges. Good, if you drop a few, the submarine will explode. , and nothing was gained.

Germany, which has guided the technology of the entire era, will of course not let such a scene appear. The main surface anti-submarine ships have begun to be equipped with anti-submarine helicopters.

This is modified on the basis of the Hummingbird 2.

The ordinary Hummingbird 2 was originally a general-purpose helicopter for the Navy, with great potential for modification. Now, the special anti-submarine type is improved in the crew compartment at the back.

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

In the second half, there are densely stacked equipment, the small ones are sonar buoys, and the big ones are anti-submarine depth charges.

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

With the order, the five crew members were ready to take off within three minutes. The helicopter was pushed out of the hangar, the folded rotors were extended, and several people were busy. Soon, with the top 2000 horsepower The engine roared, and the helicopter swayed a few times on the small helideck before pulling up.

Anti-submarine work begins!

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

The first is speed! When the surface ship is anti-submarine, in order to avoid its own noise interference, the speed is very slow, which may give the other party sufficient time to escape, and the anti-submarine helicopter can rush to the scene at the fastest speed!

Three nautical miles, that was almost after takeoff, and the time was very short.

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

At the rear of the destroyer, there is a special platform on which a uniquely shaped aircraft was pushed out, and then the aircraft flew up.

When his eyes fell on the short wings of the plane, he was frightened by what was mounted on it.

what is that? Torpedo!

"Quick, dive, urgently dive to 100 meters!" Captain Bill shouted loudly, recovering his periscope.

At this time, the ballast tank has been filled with water. After receiving the order, the helmsman began to put the elevator to the maximum position, and the engineer pushed the speed to the maximum. Leaned and began to dive.

A famous sailor, as long as he is idle, is running towards the bow of the boat quickly. Soon, the torpedo compartment of the bow is full of people. As they move, the gravity of the bow increases and they dive. The angle of inclination is larger.

That peculiarly shaped aircraft should be a German helicopter. It is said that the United States is also developing the same equipment, but it has not made much progress, and the German warships have already 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, as long as you look at the torpedoes, you know that they may be looking for trouble on your own side. Now, protect yourself first!

The indication of the submarine's depth gauge began to increase slowly, and everyone was kept silent. Only the sonar soldiers were listening carefully. The sound of the propellers being turned by the engines of the nearby fleet was the loudest. Accompanied by other soft voices.

"Puff, puff." Like something fell into the water.

Is it a deep shot? Thinking of this, the sonar soldier frowned immediately, but then he stretched out again.

It should not be, the movement of the deep bomb falling into the water is not so big, it should be something small fell into the water. But what it was, he couldn't guess.

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

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

The helicopter circled around the sea area where the target was just found, while turning, while throwing down, one, two. In the time of a circle, about eight were put in.

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

After the toss, the personnel on the operating table in front, wearing headphones, began to listen carefully.

This is the result of the latest German technology, sonar buoys!

Sonar has only appeared in recent years. Under water, you can identify the enemy, propeller, and engine by listening to the sound. Noise will appear, and you can infer the location of the target by listening to the sound.

However, the sonar of submarines and surface ships is flawed. Once the target is far away and the orientation is wrong, it may disappear. Now, every sonar buoy put on can hear the sound in one direction, and several sonar buoys are in Make a circle on the sea to form an array, and you can hear it more clearly.

"The target is below, we are diving, the orientation is 039, and the depth is about 80." Just as one person listened carefully to the sound, the other person was operating the instrument in front of him. On the front display screen, the analysis data is displayed.

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