Great Power Ship

Chapter 158 Anti-submarine (for subscription)

Not only the leader of Fleet D, but also the leaders and cadres of Fleet D are all in disbelief.

For the navy, the sonar is their eyes and ears just like the air force's radar, so the leading cadres present naturally know what this thing looks like.

They are all big guys, and because of this, they can only be equipped on heavy combat platforms such as large surface ships and submarines. There is no way, if the platform is too small, it will not be able to carry it at all. The size and power consumption are very heavy. big guy.

But the sonar on Tang Jianshe's body is nothing more than a support device the size of a schoolbag on his back and a detection device the size of a suitcase in his hand. Compared with that kind of big guy who can easily weigh tons, it is really outrageously simple.

As a result, many leaders and cadres of Fleet D have some doubts about whether this thing is useful.

Of course, Meng Qingdong had to quickly explain: "This is the S-6B portable sonar jointly developed by our N fleet and a local factory. It is mainly used for small-scale underwater detection and target identification. It can also communicate within a certain range if necessary. , but the distance is not long, only less than 50 meters!"

"Oh?" The head of Fleet D curiously took the "small suitcase" from Tang Jianshe's hand, and carried it twice with his hands: "It's okay, it's a bit heavy, but it can be lighter in the sea because of the buoyancy. You just said that this thing was made by you in cooperation with a local factory?"

Meng Qingdong nodded quickly: "Yes, our N fleet is currently exploring a new equipment generation mode, and has achieved certain results. The GD-2S semi-closed diving equipment you saw, the S-6B portable sonar and other The DPZ-37 shipboard rapid mine elimination system we use to detonate torpedoes is the result of our new model!"

"The naval guns and mines are also the product of your cooperation with the local factory?" Now the head of the D fleet is not only curious, but also has an indescribable surprise.

You must know that among all the equipment displayed by the blue formation this time, he is most interested in the DPZ-37 shipboard rapid mine elimination system. Hit mine target.

Good guy, at a water depth of 8 meters, one round of ammunition penetrates directly.

You must know that the shell of the target is also made of cast iron, coupled with the obstruction of the 8-meter-deep seawater, ordinary ammunition can't get close at all, but what the blue team fired not only broke through the 8-meter water depth, but also penetrated the cast-iron aviation mine. Feeling cold.

That is to say, the water depth of 8 meters is not the limit of the depth of the blue team's naval gun mine clearance. The actual situation may be deeper and more powerful. It is conservatively estimated to exceed the depth of 10 meters!

Others don't know what this depth means, but the head of Fleet D, who was born as a veteran submarine soldier, knows it all too well, that is the snorkel diving depth that is crucial for submarine operations.

That is to say, as long as the DPZ-37 shipboard rapid mine elimination system is placed in a suitable position, it can carry out anti-submarine attacks on such deep submarines.

We must know that in addition to the fleet's air defense problem that the navy needs to solve urgently, anti-submarine is also a big headache, and even to some extent, its threat is even greater.

If it can't be solved, the navy's leap from yellow water to blue water will not be realized at all, because it doesn't take much, just a few submarines can block your port from entering and leaving, and combined with the attack of sea transportation lines, you will be able to do so in a short time. You can deplete your naval combat power within minutes.

Therefore, since the day the navy was established, it has attached great importance to anti-submarine warfare. For this reason, it introduced a lot of weapons and equipment and related systems specially used for anti-submarine warfare during the honeymoon period with the Soviet Union.

However, due to well-known reasons, the navy lost the stable technology source of the Soviet Union, and the overall technological development stagnated in the mid-60s. It was not until the late 70s that the navy reopened the door and came into contact with advanced Western anti-submarine technology. I have fallen far behind the world's advanced level.

So a huge technology upgrade plan was quickly formulated, with the focus on fleet air defense and anti-submarine warfare.

However, the procurement plan submitted was quickly returned by the superior. There is no way. At this time, the country does not have so much foreign exchange to purchase so many expensive western naval technology and equipment, not to mention the urgent problems that need to be solved except for the navy, army, air force and the Second Artillery There are also a lot of equipment problems, so naturally we can't let the navy family come.

In this way, the planned budget was cut again and again.

Seeing that foreign imports are not enough, they can only do it on their own. The problem is that the current domestic technology level is generally backward, and it is impossible to catch up with the world's advanced level in a short period of time.

What can I do if I can't solve it internally and externally?
I can only endure it!

But patience does not mean lying flat. The Navy is also actively seeking solutions, such as transforming old equipment, or upgrading some old models with more potential.

Although there are some effects, there is no immediate improvement.

Just when the head of Fleet D and others were thinking of a way to save costs and achieve good results, the blue formation came with a DPZ-37 shipboard rapid mine elimination system.

"Look, chief, this is the 37mm launcher of the DPZ-37 shipborne rapid mine elimination system. The overall structure follows the old 37mm anti-aircraft naval gun, but the structure of the gun compartment has been improved to accommodate the dedicated 37mm mine elimination system. bomb!"

At this moment, Chief D has followed Meng Qingdong to board a frigate numbered 228 in the blue formation. Looking at the DPZ-37 ship-borne rapid mine suppression system in front of him, the overall feeling is no different from the old-fashioned 37mm anti-aircraft naval gun. It is an open operation area, and the number of gun crews is the same. Even the gun bay mentioned by Meng Qingdong, if you don't look carefully, you can't find it. It can be said that it has no characteristics.

So the head of Fleet D turned his attention to the 37mm anti-mine bomb that Meng Qingdong pointed at, and only then did he discover the difference from the old-fashioned 37mm anti-aircraft naval gun.

Different from the shells of traditional 37mm anti-aircraft naval guns, the warheads of 37mm anti-mine bombs are very long, almost two to three times the length of the shell case, thin like sharp arrows in the era of cold weapons, but more like dedicated to tanks The stabilized fin on the sabot-piercing projectile.

Of course, Meng Qingdong knew the key points of the DPZ-37 shipborne rapid mine suppression system, so he quickly gave a very detailed introduction to the 37mm mine suppression bombs like the leaders of the D fleet.

In fact, the core of this DPZ-37 shipborne rapid mine elimination system lies in this 37mm mine elimination bomb. 64 to 7.62mm underwater pistol.

As for why it suddenly increased from 7.62mm to 37mm, it actually originated from the whim of No. [-] of the Marine Corps Amphibious Reconnaissance Brigade.

And the root of this whim is the sin of Wen Dawei!
