Rise of the Wasteland Chapter 635: Louisiana number

Remember [lnmao.org] in one second, fast update, no pop-up window, free to read!

The dark ocean always hides the killer in the depths of the ocean. This place is not as quiet as imagined. Sometimes it is very lively.

The 'Louisiana' ballistic missile nuclear submarine is an important part of the US Trinity nuclear strike force. It is the last ship of the ‘Ohio’ class. Although it was launched into service at the end of the last century, it is in its prime and is functioning well.

The "Louisiana" has just completed a two-year dry dock overhaul and re-entered the combat cruise mission. It will go deep somewhere in the ocean below 100 meters, and move slowly at a speed of 4 knots, waiting for a demise command that it never wants to receive.

However, before officially starting the cruise mission, ‘Louisiana’ also accepted a ‘tiger cruise’ mission. The name of this mission may sound domineering, but it actually allows the family members of the crew to live on the ship for a period of time to improve the morale of the crew and enhance the national defense awareness.

Yes, the Yankees have not only opened large surface ships like aircraft carriers, but now even the ballistic missile nuclear submarines of the "Treasure of the Nation" allow ordinary people to go up and see.

Old Henry is a member of this "Tiger Cruise". His son Jackson is a captain officer of the "Louisiana" and is responsible for the work of the mechanical and electrical cabin. So he was invited to have a good experience inside this big guy with an underwater displacement of 18,000 tons.

‘Tiger Cruise’ will not go to certain dangerous waters, and the atmosphere inside the nuclear submarine is still very relaxed. Old Henry walked up and down the inner ramp of the boat and couldn't help laughing when he saw his son: "Hey, boy, I'm so proud of you to serve on such a powerful ship."

Compared to a passionate father, son Jackson took the shyness unique to submarine officers, "Hi, Dad, I ’m so glad you can come and see me."

"Your submarine is very good."

"Yes, very good. We perform two or three combat readiness cruises every year, but it has never been discovered. We are the most powerful, quiet and deterrent in the world. It is enough for any hostile country to overcome the challenge American thoughts. "

"I ’m so glad to hear that, I ’m convinced of this."

After a few happy conversations between the American father and son, son Jackson needs to be on duty. Old Henry received a welcome bag with a list of tasks in addition to various supplies.

All family members of the crew can follow the instructions on the task list to go to the crew in different areas and positions of the boat to communicate and understand their work. This kind of activity is the happiest time for crew members who often live in narrow spaces under water for one to three months.

"This is really interesting." Old Henry was very interested in this kind of activity. He even saw the fire fighting in the boat and the training of damaged pipe plugging, which was really eye-opening. And the lavatory, toilet, shower in the boat also surprised him, which is much better than the life of the submarine he imagined.

"The United States is so powerful. I am proud of being an American." At the restaurant, while eating grilled steak, old Henry couldn't help expressing his love for the nuclear submarine and the motherland. The families of the other crew members who accompanied him also expressed their approval.

The ‘Louisiana’ can carry 24 ‘Trident’ D5 ballistic missiles with a range of more than 10,000 kilometers. Each missile has eight sub-missile heads, which is enough to destroy a small country.

What a powerful strategic weapon!

Any enemy must tremble in front of it!

Old Henry was even allowed to visit the central control room of the nuclear submarine ’s command module. His son Jackson was in charge of the commander instead of the captain. Watching his son orderly issue various orders, although old Henry didn't understand it, he still felt great!

However, the family members of the crew like to run to the central control room to join in the excitement, which quickly causes the narrow space to be overcrowded. Old Henry had to go to the sonar room to see that the ‘Ohio’ class was an old product of the last century, and it had to be said that its electronic equipment was too old.

Various screens in sonar rooms use old-fashioned kinescopes. Three or four sonar soldiers wear headphones and face the green and black screen to distinguish the surrounding objects detected by sonar. Old Henry was also invited to wear headphones to listen to the sounds of dolphins and whales, and shrimp.

Of course, nuclear submarines lurking in the deep sea will eventually hear the sound of various ships passing by above their heads. The sound of the marine engine sounds like a train, and the sound of the propeller stirring the water is very rhythmic.

The sonar soldier is proud to say that by distinguishing these sounds, he can judge any ship and submarine in this world. Nothing can threaten this war monster cruising in the deep sea.

"Sounds awesome!" Old Henry gave a thumbs-up compliment, but he quickly frowned with headphones and asked the sonar soldier: "Uh ..., what's going on with this sound? Feeling Weird. "

Weird? The sonar soldier first looked at the sonar display. By distinguishing the voiceprint, he didn't care too much and said: "This is a fishing boat, it should be an ocean fishing boat. There are such boats everywhere on the sea. Most of them are Chinese, now There are too many Chinese fishing boats. "

But old Henry said with some anxiety: "I read CNN's report that Chinese fishing boats are serving their military, and collecting intelligence on our U.S. Navy on the sea is very threatening."

"Oh, don't worry!" The sonar soldier shook his head. "Ocean fishing vessels of all countries in the world will shoulder the task of collecting military secrets of other countries, but they are mostly staring at surface ships. We are at more than 100 meters. Underwater, quiet and calm. They ca n’t find us. ”

Think about what my son once said, 'Louisiana' has never been discovered, and old Henry laughed at himself for his unreasonable worries, "I think I am a bit too nervous, if even fishing boats can find You guys, this is really ridiculous. "

He He He ..., there was a shallow laughter in the sonar room. However, the laughter was quickly interrupted, and a huge impact sound suddenly came inside the boat, and the eardrums of the shocking people were painful.

The soaring soldier who was still laughing immediately cursed: "Damn, this fishing boat actually turned on active sonar."

Old Henry, who had just let go of his heart, was also taken aback by the sudden loud noise, and could n’t help but ask again: “We have been found?”

"No, fishing boats may use their sonar to search for fish. But for safety, we have to avoid them." The sonar soldier whispered.

Avoid? The ‘Louisiana’ is so powerful that it ca n’t be beaten by a fishing boat?

Soon, Jackson, the officer in charge, issued an order requiring ‘Louisiana’ to dive another fifty meters and deflect the course away from the nasty fishing boat overhead.

Looking at his father coming from the sonar room, Jackson smiled and comforted: "Do n’t worry, father, this kind of thing is common. Now there are more and more fishing boats on the sea, but it just happened to appear."

Diving down to a depth of more than 150 meters, the sound of the active sonar on the head was much smaller, but when everyone felt that it was over, another sound of ‘Duang’ came.

An alarm sounded again from the sonar room, ‘several ocean-going fishing boats appeared above us. Hell, they all turned on active sonar, but there weren't any fish around here. ’

Sounds like a lot of trouble! (To be continued.)
