Red Soviet Union

It is not easy to find a sunken ship on the bottom of the sea, and it is often a fluke. Now, finding a plane far smaller than a ship from the bottom of the ocean is even harder.

The two survey ships moved head-to-head, combing the sea like a comb. If they wanted to find the MiG-25 fighter jets on the seabed, they might have a harvest in the next minute, or it might take a few days, or even a month or two.

On the survey ship, the most busy people in the sonar room are the people in the sonar room, because the method of this detection is to use active sonar to send ultrasonic waves to the seabed to search. They wear headphones and listen carefully.

Sonarists are a special group of people. They have keen hearing. They can use sonar to distinguish whether a distant sea fish is blowing bubbles or a ship's propeller. what ships are coming.

Compared with the busy survey ship, the salvage ship is doing nothing now. The Americans on the ship are standing on the deck, basking in the sun and blowing the sea breeze, chatting one after another.

Behind them are two American warships, a Keeling-class destroyer and a Knox-class frigate. These two warships discovered that the Soviets had dispatched reconnaissance planes to scout the salvage formation. After that, it came from the Yokosuka port.

Among them, the Keeling class has a displacement of nearly 4,000 tons. It is a warship built in the late World War II. It is already old and is a model that is about to be retired. The main weapon on the warship is artillery, not even anti-aircraft missiles.

The Knox-class frigate is the first warship that entered active service in 1965. The last warship of the same type was commissioned in 1974. It belongs to the second-generation anti-submarine frigate of the United States. The equipment is relatively advanced. Quadruple Harpoon ship-to-ship missiles and l 127mm artillery. In terms of anti-submarine, there are one eight-mounted Asrock anti-submarine rocket and one double-mounted MK-32 torpedo launch tube, as well as one anti-submarine helicopter. As for air defense, it also has Sea Sparrow air defense missiles, which is comprehensive. Although it is called a frigate, its displacement is close to 4,000 tons, the same as the Keeling class.

Speaking of the backward, that is, this frigate also uses a steam turbine as its power, and the backward boiler is smoking thick smoke at this time.

At this time, the Knox-class frigate USS Donald-B-Perry was sailing at the back of the formation, and the captain, Major Davis, stood on the bridge and looked forward. How much did he say about this nanny mission? Somewhat impatient.

It is only 100 nautical miles from our own coastline, and fighter jets can fly there in ten minutes. Although the Soviets have conducted reconnaissance, as long as their minds are not flooded, they should only be limited to reconnaissance.

Do the Soviets dare to come and ask for trouble? If the Soviets really dared to come over on their own one-third of an acre of land, it would be...

"Report, the radar found three echoes on the sea." At this moment, a report came from the radar room: "Nine o'clock, twenty-five nautical miles away."

"Don't worry, it must be a fishing boat." Major Davis said, taking up the binoculars.

Due to the influence of the curvature of the earth, the most advanced ship-based radar can search the sea for no more than 40 kilometers. Although many anti-ship missiles have a range of more than 100 kilometers, it also requires equipment such as ship-based helicopters for midway guidance. The modern-grade music station introduced by Huaxia in the later generations has a radar to the sea that can exceed 100 kilometers, but it is based on the principle of atmospheric ducting. The distance is reached, but the accuracy is very poor.

On the sea in the distance, black smoke from the chimney appeared first, and then the mast. Major Davis was a little strange, didn't he look like a fishing boat?

Continuing the magnification, I finally see clearly, is that a salvage ship? what happened? Are you here to help with salvage? Why didn't I get the notification above?

The ship became clearer and clearer, and at the same time, the ships behind also appeared in the field of vision.

Chimney, mast... Davis was a little puzzled when he saw the flag on the mast. It looked like a warship, and the flag was still red, and the direction was coming from the west.

As the opponent continued to approach, he could finally see the outline clearly. Major Davis was shocked. That flag was a flag of a sickle and an axe! It's a Soviet navy ship!

What are the Soviets doing here? Major Davis immediately shouted: "Attention, spot the Soviet warships! Left full rudder, advance three, prepare for battle!"

Who knows what the Soviets are doing here! The other party is already close to one hundred nautical miles of its own coastline! As Major Davis gave the order to fight, thicker black smoke rose from the chimney, and the frigate accelerated with a humming sound.

The Harpoon missiles also began to warm up. Once they found that the Soviets were going to use force, they could counterattack as soon as possible.

"Send the semaphore and tell them that this is the territorial waters of the island country, and let them retreat." Major Davis pressed the switch on the intercom and said to the signal soldiers on the mast.

The two sides gradually approached, and Major Davis could visually observe that the two Soviet warships approaching on the opposite side~www.readwn.com~ were old-fashioned Riga-class frigates. This frigate, with a displacement of less than 1,500 tons, has no missiles in its weapons, mainly 3 100 guns and 37 and 25 guns, as well as 533 torpedo tubes and anti-submarine rockets.

The Riga class is the name of NATO. The Soviet model is the Type 50, which is a frigate manufactured in the 1950s. The Pacific Fleet is equipped with a total of 11 ships.

What did the Soviets send such old-fashioned frigates for? Is it to provoke the sea power of the United States? The Soviets are not crazy, are they?

"Report, they replied, this is the public waters." The semaphore soldier shouted through the intercom.

Public waters? Major Davis was stunned for a moment, as if the other party was right. Even the United States only agreed to the territorial waters of 12 nautical miles. Using this as an excuse, he took advantage of the United States' naval superiority to approach any hostile country at will.

"Let them go and don't interfere with our work," said Major Davis.

No matter what the purpose of these people is, in short, since they are two old-fashioned warships, they are definitely not here to fight.

"Report, the Americans want us to leave, don't interfere with their operations." A lookout on the Soviet Riga-class frigate Tashkent said to the captain when he saw the lights and slogans of the other party ten nautical miles away.

Americans are indeed very cautious! Captain Ilyich said: "Send a signal to them that we are about to start a salvage operation, please don't interfere with our operations!"

When I set off, I accepted this mission. Captain Ilyich felt a great responsibility. This time, even if I can't go back again, I have to complete the mission~www.readwn.com~Welcome all book friends to come and read, The latest, fastest and most popular serial works are all in ~www.readwn.com~ Mobile users please read.
