In history, sonar buoy appeared in World War II. It is a technical countermeasure to curb the German's growing submarine advantage. It was first invented by Britain.

Now, Germany has made great progress in electronic technology, and this sonar buoy detection device has also developed and matured.

For the fleet, the enemy's submarines pose a great threat. It is absolutely nonsense for submarines to fight against submarines in this era. Only surface ships are the main force of anti submarine. Therefore, anti submarine helicopters appear in this case.

As the signal was detected, the captain did not hesitate and immediately ordered to drop the anti submarine torpedo!

Under the short wing on the left, the T5 electric torpedo left the pylon. Due to its low height from the sea, it almost fell into the water after being thrown.

To deal with underwater submarines, if deep-water bombs are used, it is quite wasteful. After all, this thing almost depends on Mongolia. If it is a surface ship, it can carry more. The waste is not terrible. It's a big deal to blow it up several times.

However, the anti submarine helicopter will not work. After all, its carrying capacity is limited. Although it carries some anti submarine deep bombs, it will use the latest torpedo it carries whenever possible.

T5 electric torpedo is improved on the basis of T3 torpedo. The biggest change is its seeker, which is the first generation of Germany and the first acoustic homing torpedo in the world, also code g7es.

Underwater, radar cannot be used. The only thing that can be used is sound. Now, all warships have used sonar as the main means to detect underwater.

If the sonar is installed on the torpedo, the torpedo can automatically find the direction of the sound and attack, so that it can attack easily?

The idea is simple, but turning it into reality requires technical support.

Even after integrating the forces of the whole Europe and investing in science and technology, Germany has developed this first generation of acoustic homing torpedo, which has initially achieved this goal, and it is only carried by helicopters.

Why?

Because it does not distinguish between the enemy and ourselves, although it is bound with target data during launch, after launch, the target is lost due to various reasons. When it is searched again, it is likely to attack its warship as a target. In history, this torpedo has done so more than once.

Now, with the anti submarine helicopter, you are not afraid. The sea area where the helicopter flies out must be a certain distance from your warship. For example, now, it is outside the maximum range of the torpedo. You don't have to worry about hitting your warship by mistake. You can finally use it safely.

Compared with the T5 torpedo in history, it has been improved. In addition to anti-ship, it can also carry out anti submarine. In fact, the difference between anti-ship and anti submarine is the depth of torpedo. When acoustic homing technology is adopted, the parameter of torpedo depth can be removed.

"Poop!" The torpedo splashed into the sea. When it entered the sea, the propeller at the tail began to rotate. The acoustic homing device at the head accurately captured the submarine at a depth of tens of meters.

The advantage of the helicopter lies in its strong mobility. Just after capturing the signal of the target, it began to maneuver, almost throwing bombs at the back and top of the target.

At the same time, the sound of the torpedo falling into the water was also heard by the underwater submarine. At this time, the other party had just dived to a depth of 100 meters, and then leveled off.

"They dropped something again. This time it was loud. It might be a deep-water bomb." Said the sonar. As he spoke, he continued to listen carefully. As a result, he actually heard the sound. It was the propeller turning!

"What they still came down was a torpedo!" The sonar shouted anxiously, "coming to us!"

The enemy threw torpedoes! And our side is at a depth of 100 meters. Can that torpedo drill down?

When he heard this, Captain bill immediately frowned. For him, he was puzzled.

Even the United States does not have self guided torpedoes now. At most, they use submarine sonar. When they do not visually search for targets with periscope, they attack torpedoes according to the data provided by sonar. They also attack each other's surface ships. They have never used torpedoes to attack submarines.

Now, the Germans actually have torpedoes to attack their own submarines. How do they set torpedo parameters? Generally speaking, this is simply impossible!

Beyond their common sense.

"The torpedo is swimming towards us!" The sonar continued.

Is the torpedo still coming?

"Note that the engine stops and remains silent." Bill shouted loudly. At this moment, he could only speculate.

If a deep-water bomb comes from above, he'd better leave this position to avoid accidental injury, but now it's a torpedo. If the torpedo can catch up with his own side, it can only rely on sound.

Yes, it's the sound. The other torpedo can hear its own voice and catch up!

There was no other choice. Captain bill had to give it a try.

The motor at the tail stopped, the propeller stopped stirring the water, and the sound disappeared. At the same time, all the people on the boat stayed in their positions and made no sound.

They strictly abide by discipline. Any negligence on the submarine may put everyone in danger. Now, they are waiting for the last moment.

The sonar crew is still very nervous. Listening to the sound inside the sonar, the torpedo is getting closer and closer.

"It's still approaching us." Said the sonar.

Captain Bill didn't speak. He was gambling, too.

Now the situation has gone beyond their common sense. The torpedo went 100 meters deep into the sea and wanted to attack their submarine. Now, they have kept silent and can only wait.

Then start the motor and run for your life? That's silly, Captain bill. Now that he has made a decision, he won't change it easily.

The T-5 torpedo is still moving forward. At this time, it can't hear the sound in front of it and disappears in an instant. Therefore, it can only make inertial navigation according to the just sound.

The torpedo continued to move forward, and the sea water was flowing and gently impacting the torpedo. The trajectory of the torpedo was also slowly deviating from the original trajectory, gradually deviating and deviating. It was almost rubbing against the body of the submarine and crossing with the submarine.

In the submarine, everyone's heart was in their throat. They could even hear the sound of torpedoes.
