After hearing this, Captain Hans edmengton was surprised: "target position, report immediately."

"It's about three nautical miles behind me on the right. It's approaching us."

"Attention, take off the shipborne antisubmarine aircraft immediately, immediately!" Hans shouted loudly. When he finished, he looked at brigadier general Bondi. Brigadier general Bondi nodded. At the same time, he said to the radio man, "report to the admiral. Suspicious underwater targets are being screened."

At first, the z-17 destroyer had five 127 mm naval guns, but soon after it was built, the two 127 mm naval guns behind it were removed and a helicopter takeoff and landing platform and helicopter hangar were arranged in the original space.

When helicopters appeared, the German Navy was very excited. In the past, only 10000 ton warships could easily carry seaplanes, but now even more than 3000 ton destroyers can carry them.

Moreover, the main task of this destroyer is anti submarine, so the helicopter is also a special anti submarine aircraft after improvement!

In this era, surface ships are mainly used to deal with submarines. It's almost a chance to hit each other by throwing deep-water bombs. Good, if a few go down, the submarine will explode. Bad, if you throw hundreds of them back and forth for a few days, you won't get anything.

Germany, which has guided the whole era of science and technology, will certainly not let this scene appear. The main surface anti submarine ships have begun to be equipped with anti submarine helicopters.

This is based on hummingbird 2.

Ordinary hummingbird 2, originally a Navy general-purpose helicopter, has great modification potential. Now, the special anti submarine type is improved in the rear crew compartment.

The cabin, which can accommodate 15 members, now occupies a quarter of the space by a large instrument. It has two display screens. At this time, in front of the instrument, two people are preheating before startup.

In the second half, there are densely stacked equipment. Those small are sonar buoys, and those large are anti submarine deep-water bombs.

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

With the order, the five crew members were ready to take off in three minutes. The helicopter was pushed out of the hangar and the folded rotor extended. Several people were busy. Soon, with the roar of the 2000 horsepower engine on the top, the helicopter shook a few times on the small helicopter deck and pulled up.

Anti submarine operation begins!

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

The first is fast! 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 enough time to escape, and the anti submarine helicopter can rush to the scene as fast as possible!

Three nautical miles. It's almost after takeoff. It's a short time.

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

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

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

What's that? Torpedo!

"Come on, dive, emergency dive to 100 meters!" Bill shouted loudly, recycling his periscope.

At this time, the ballast tank has been filled with water. After receiving the order, the helmsman began to put the elevator at the maximum position, and the marine pushed the speed to the maximum. As the speed of the propeller at the tail accelerated, the water splashed, the boat tilted and began to dive.

A famous sailor, as long as he is idle, is running quickly towards the bow. Soon, the torpedo cabin at the bow is full of people. With their actions, the gravity of the bow increases and the inclination of diving becomes greater.

The plane with strange shape should be a German helicopter. It is said that the United States is also developing the same equipment, but little progress has been made, and German warships have begun to be equipped in large quantities!

Once backward, you will never catch up.

Although I don't know what the other party is going to do, as long as I look at the torpedo, I know it may be to find my own trouble. 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 engine of the nearby fleet driving the propeller was the greatest, and it seemed that there were other gentle sounds.

"Poop, poop." It's like falling into the water.

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

It shouldn't be. There's not so much noise about falling into the water. It should be a small thing falling into the water. But he couldn't guess what it was.

At this time, the anti submarine helicopter had flown over the target. A pilot in the back cabin began to throw things down according to the instructions.

It's not big. It's almost the size of a military backpack. At the same time, it's not very heavy.

The helicopter circled around the sea area where the target had just been found, turning and throwing down, one or two. In the time of one circle, about eight were put in.

It's all money. The cost of each is almost 8000 euros, but war is money burning, so you don't have to worry much.

After throwing, the personnel on the front console, wearing headphones, began to listen carefully.

This is the latest scientific and technological achievement in Germany, sonar buoy!

Sonar has only appeared in recent years. Underwater, we can identify the enemy by listening to the sound. There will be noise from the propeller and engine. Listening to the sound, we can infer the location of the target.

However, the sonar of submarines and surface ships is defective. Once the target is far away and the orientation is wrong, it may disappear. Now, for each sonar buoy put in, you can hear the sound in one direction. Several sonar buoys circle on the sea surface to form an array, so you can hear it more clearly.

"The target is below. It's diving. Bearing 039. Now the depth is about 80." Just when one person listens to the sound carefully, another person is operating the instrument in front of him. The analyzed data has been displayed on the front display screen.

"Prepare to throw anti submarine torpedoes." Shouted the captain.
