The status and position of island countries determine that they are bound to regard the Pacific as their own battlefield. The navy of island countries also needs to be able to gallop across the Pacific. Unfortunately, the power of island countries is still not strong enough. Therefore, they build large submarines to make a difference in the Pacific.

Of course, historical facts can only show that the island country's submarine forces exist like scum and have no record. At least the Navy's surface ships have also launched the Pearl Harbor incident, which has excited the island country for a year or two.

The island's submarines did nothing.

This is also related to their thoughts. Now, German submarines have begun to pay attention to underwater speed, making submarines have the most suitable shape underwater, resulting in underwater speed exceeding water speed.

However, the island's submarines still spend most of their time on the water.

For example, now, the yi-74 has a water speed of 23 knots, which is quite strong, but the underwater speed is only 8.2 knots. At the same time, when it enters the underwater, even if it travels at a speed of 3 knots, it has a voyage of 65 nautical miles.

These defects are doomed that it can only maintain the state of water navigation at ordinary times and dive only when attacking. This is the biggest difference from German submarines. Now, German submarines float only at night at most, and they are in the state of vent pipe most of the time.

This time, they have successfully completed their mission. They could have come out day and night and returned slowly. However, recently, the US Navy in the Pacific suddenly went crazy looking for submarines at sea. In order to prevent accidental injury, the base camp asked them to return quickly and stay away from right and wrong.

In this way, they can't navigate underwater with batteries at low speed. When they float to the surface, they can start to a high speed of more than 20 knots with a diesel engine and go back in a few days.

Saburo stood on the command tower and observed the sky. Soon, he found a black spot in the distance, flying towards his side quickly!

"Report, found a suspicious target." Saburo shouted down.

"Keep watching." Said the captain.

Now, our side is on the return voyage, and it is floating. Can we attack ourselves even if we find any suspicious targets?

"Yes." Saburo continued to open his eyes and looked at the target in the distant sky. Soon, he recognized that it was an American seaplane!

Before the emergence of radar, reconnaissance / observation aircraft played the role of the eye of the fleet. These aircraft deployed on coastal bases or ships could search hundreds of miles of water surface in the air, monitor the actions of enemy submarines and surface ships, observe the impact point for their own warships, and carry out shipwreck rescue, etc.

Founded in 1917, chase water company is the main manufacturer of the U.S. Navy's water observation aircraft. It produces a series of pirate shipborne biplane, which are equipped on U.S. cruisers, destroyers and other warships.

Now, they have developed the latest model, the single wing os2u-1 Kingfisher reconnaissance aircraft, which was designed and manufactured in 37 years and gradually delivered to the U.S. Navy in 38 years.

Pilot Chris, sitting in the front seat, and behind him, in the wide and open cockpit, is his companion Schroeder. He works as a tail guard gunner, as well as a radio operator and observer.

The 450 horsepower Pratt Whitney r-0985-48 star type air-cooled engine in front is rumbling, driving the reconnaissance aircraft to fly over the sea. At the same time, their eyes are constantly on the sea.

Half an hour ago, they launched from the destroyer Lawrence Taylor. Their task is very clear, that is, to search for German submarines on the sea!

A few days ago, an American cargo ship was destroyed by an unknown target in the process of crossing the Pacific Ocean. Almost all the facts are that the Germans did it. Now, they need to pull out the German submarine and sink them!

Let the Germans know that the Pacific is not their stage!

However, it is also very difficult. After all, they have got the exact news. German submarines are equipped with ventilation pipes, which means that they can't see the floating of German submarines on the sea at all. They can only see a small ventilation pipe.

If the time is delayed for another year or two, waiting for the development of radar technology and underwater listening technology, so that they can more easily find German submarines. Now, they don't have surface search radar to scan the vent pipe on the sea surface. They can only use their own eyes!

They flew very low and kept searching the sea while flying. This was definitely looking for a needle in a haystack. At the same time, more than a dozen units were searching aimlessly like them, hoping to find the target.

Suddenly, Chris in front was excited: "in front, I found a floating submarine on the sea!"

As a pilot, he should have a pair of sharp eyes. When he found the submarine over there, he was very excited. He had no place to find, and it took no effort!

Living in the narrow space of submarines for a long time, smelling the smell of volatile diesel in the air and listening to the continuous noise of engines, it is easy for submarine soldiers to suffer from various psychological obstacles. In particular, German submarines come around half the earth. They are determined to be more lonely. It is entirely possible to float up and blow the sea breeze under safe conditions.

Finally caught by your side!

He pushed the throttle lever, and the engine in front burst out a greater roar and flew towards the other party at the highest power state.

"What flag are they flying?" After flying for several kilometers, you can see more clearly. You can see the high flag flying in the wind, but you can't see what it is.

Schroeder, in the back seat, put his head out against the airflow and tried to observe.

"Black, I see black on it. It looks like a black ten thousand character flag. Well, there are red, red background and black, which is the ten thousand character flag!" Schroeder said with certainty.

"Come on, send a telegram to our mother ship. We have found the German submarine. It is in submarine state at present. Azimuth is 27-0-36. Please attack!" Cried Chris excitedly.

The Germans are so careless and arrogant!

When they were sailing on the sea and dared to fly the national flag, didn't they find a way to get beaten? Don't think it's just floating!

Kingfisher reconnaissance aircraft is not only a reconnaissance aircraft, it can also carry weapons.

There is a fixed browning. 30 machine gun at the nose at the front of the nose, and a pitching. 30 machine gun at the back. At the same time, there is a bomb rack under each wing of Kingfisher. Now, there is a 100 pound aviation bomb hanging on each wing.

Chris was furious when he thought of these sneaky submarines attacking cargo ships wantonly.

The Pacific Ocean is owned by the US Navy. We can't let the Germans wreak havoc!

The kingfisher reconnaissance plane, with a swift and violent posture, rushed to the unsuspecting "German" submarine on the sea!
