After leaving the busy port, Mustafa issued the first combat command: "All personnel are in place, close all hatches, and prepare to dive."

Chapter 487 Black Sea Shipyard

On the top of the conning tower, the submarine soldier who was in charge of the lookout task immediately climbed down from the hatch skillfully, and then locked the top cover. This is the easiest and most negligent step. If it is not locked, wait until The submarine enters the water, and the sea water pours in, and it will be impossible to float up at that time.

"The main ballast water tank is filled with water, ready to dive." Mustafa began to issue orders.

According to the ancient Archimedes principle, the reason why a ship can float on the water is because the gravity of the water displaced by the ship is equal to the buoyancy on the ship. This buoyancy is equal to the gravity of the ship itself. The volume of the displaced water is greater than that of the water, so the buoyancy will increase, and if you want the ship to enter the sea, you need to increase the gravity of the ship. The way to increase this is to fill the ballast tank of the ship with water.

With the opening of the valve, seawater entered the ballast water tank, and the hull of the boat was slowly sinking while sailing forward, like a shark, its body slowly dived into the water, and the water splashed. into the sea.

In the sky, a bird flew by, watching curiously that the monster on the sea suddenly disappeared, and fluttered its wings in fear.

On the surface of the water, there are only two pipes, which are still exposed.

"Deep ten meters, stabilize the hull." Mustafa continued.

At this time, the whole boat has been submerged in the sea water, and it is already a private world, isolated from the outside world.

"Upgrade the periscope," Mustafa continued.

The periscope began to rise slowly from the bottom of the conning tower, reaching the same height as the two snorkels, protruding out of the sea.

In this state, the diesel engine of the submarine can still work normally, because even though the hull is down, the snorkel remains on the sea surface, so the fresh air and the exhaust gas after the diesel engine is working can be discharged normally , the diesel engine is still working, so there is no need to waste precious battery power.

For diesel-electric submarines, this state is a very important state. Except when entering and leaving the port, most of the time, the submarine is sailing at the depth of the snorkel, and there are only a few pipe heads on the sea surface. They can all dive quickly, so one of the modern anti-submarine measures is that the radar of the anti-submarine helicopter has been improved to detect the snorkel and periscope exposed on the sea.

This is also a problem that conventional diesel-electric submarines have to face. Although it is safer to enter deeper seabeds, it only relies on the power provided by batteries, which has limited capacity and short self-sustaining power.

Therefore, in later generations, the air-independent AIP system has been widely used.

The periscope is a unique equipment for the submarine to observe the situation on the sea surface. It uses special optical equipment to view the situation on the sea surface. The submarine relies on this to observe the depth of the periscope. When attacking, the periscope can also Used to indicate the target.

In deep water, the only thing you can rely on is sonar. Compared with sound, being able to see things is still very intuitive.

"Forward three, right rudder one." Mustafa said.

The huge submarines are in the hands of the Iraqi Navy submariners, and they are nimbly wandering in the ocean. They are ghosts in the sea, and they will bring a devastating blow to the enemy at any time.

The navy is a symbol of a country's strength!

In the north, the Black Sea Shipyard of the Red Empire.

The Black Sea Shipyard was founded in 1897 in the Tsarist Russian era. It is a long-established and large-scale old factory. It is located in Nikolayev. It was the only aircraft carrier construction and assembly plant in the Soviet era. Beginning 'Leningrad', 'Kiev', 'Minsk', 'Novorossiysk' were all built here.

The factory has more than 2.5 employees, covers an area of ​​302 hectares (including 42 hectares of water surface area), the total length of the outfitting wharf is 2675 meters, the total length of the road is 29 kilometers, the total length of the railway is 49 kilometers, and the total number of cranes is 2100. Among them, there are several overhead gantry cranes, The lifting capacity has reached 3 tons.Now, the pace of aircraft carrier construction is relatively balanced. On average, one aircraft carrier is put on the berth every three years, and one aircraft carrier is launched every three years. That is to say, the factory can deliver one aircraft carrier every three years.The delivery of these aircraft carriers has rapidly strengthened the strength of the Red Empire Navy

Here, I have witnessed the rise of the great Red Empire, and the powerful Navy of the Red Empire realizes its dreams from here.

It is already summer now, without the harsh cold wind, it is the most suitable time for work. Just after dawn, Makarov, the director of the Black Sea Shipyard, came to the office,

In 1934, Makarov was born in the port of Odessa, a republic of Ukraine, the Soviet Union. He was attracted by the ships coming in and out since he was a child, and he was determined to devote himself to the shipbuilding business. In 1958, Makarov entered the Black Sea Shipyard as he wished and served as the deputy director of the assembly workshop. In September 1976, Makarov, who worked well, was appointed as the chief engineer of the Black Sea Shipyard, and in the same year, he was appointed as the director of the Black Sea Shipyard, who was fully responsible for the transformation of the shipyard and the innovation of construction methods.At this time, the work of building aircraft carriers at the Black Sea Shipyard also entered the fast lane. The No. 9 dock designed by Makarov became the busiest shipbuilding base in the entire Soviet Union and even in Europe.

就在去年5月7rì，经过反复酝酿和讨论，苏联**zhōngyāng委员会和部长会议做出了按照1143.5设计方案建造第三代航母的决定，今年2月22rì，黑海造船厂在0号船坞为苏联海军第一代大型航空母舰：“1143.5工程”首舰“第比利斯”号（厂内代码为“105产品”）举行龙骨铺设仪式。

After World War II, the Soviet Union also tried its best to develop its navy, but the route it took was different from that of the United States. Under the influence of the omnipotence of missiles, the Soviet Union believed that aircraft carriers were just living targets.It was not until the Bay of Pigs incident that it suffered a big loss that it began to pay attention to the aircraft carrier formation. However, it also took an unusual route.

The first thing to do was the Moscow-class helicopter carrier that began to be manufactured in 1967. However, this kind of warship cannot be called an aircraft carrier. Later, in the mid-70s, it finally had the "Kiev"-class "tactical aviation cruiser" equipped with The Yak 38 vertical take-off and landing aircraft and the Ka-25 helicopter are considered to have initially embarked on the road of developing an aircraft carrier. However, this is also different from a conventional aircraft carrier. It does not use a straight-through deck. In front of the warship, a powerful Anti-ship missiles, therefore, are also called aircraft-carrying cruisers.

The fourth ship of the Kiev class, the Baku, was launched last year for final assembly. The Soviet Union's third-generation aircraft carrier, the first ship of the Tbilisi class, the Tbilisi, finally began construction on slipway 0.

Not long after it was built, the aircraft carrier was renamed "Brenev". (In later generations, the aircraft carrier was eventually named the Kuznetsov.)

Compared with the Kiev class, the biggest difference of the 1143.5 project is that the bow of the ship is changed to a jump deck, which can take off and land conventional fixed-wing fighter jets.

For this real aircraft carrier, Makarov devoted great enthusiasm. Although he is nearly 50 years old, he still supervises the entire aircraft carrier construction process on the front line of production in the shipyard.

It took Makarov half an hour to process all the documents, and then he summoned the workshop director and builders on the berth to walk through the places that must always be under supervision.Then a ten-minute on-site meeting was held to review the problems or omissions found on the spot. Makarov was full of meticulous rigor and loyalty to the national mission.

Only a great country can build such a huge aircraft carrier!

But today, after Makarov finished processing the documents, he was not as excited as usual, because, just today, the great Soviet leader, General Secretary Andropov, will come to inspect the shipyard.

Looking at the silhouette of the huge hull that had already taken shape on the No. 0 berth, Makarov was a little excited. That huge aircraft carrier was the most satisfactory answer he gave to the general secretary.

Today, the number of safety and security personnel in the factory has increased several times, but, in order not to delay the progress, the workers on the berth are still working normally.

At [-] o'clock in the morning, under the protection of countless KGB agents, several black cars drove into the Black Sea Shipyard.

Makarov was fiery in his heart, waiting outside the slipway, and the one who stepped out of the black car there was the great leader of the Soviet Union, First General Secretary Andropov.

Subsequently, Minister of Defense Ustinov and Navy Commander Gorshkov and others also got out of the car.

"Welcome the General Secretary to inspect our Black Sea Shipyard." Makarov said.

Andropov looked at the huge hull on the slipway, and he was already shocked when he saw it for the first time.

"The ship in front of us is the pride of our navy, No. 1143.5, the first ship of the new generation of Project 105." Makarov said: "This warship has a full load displacement of more than 6 tons and a total length of more than 300 meters."

On the berth, what is being built is the middle section and the rear section of the hull divided into 24 sections. Several sections have been welded. After the construction is completed, they will be docked with the front section and welded together. Seeing that the general secretary was shocked Makarov was very happy, "This is the pride of our great Soviet Union. After this aircraft carrier is launched, it will greatly improve the combat effectiveness of our navy."

"We want to fully confront the U.S. Navy. This kind of large aircraft carrier is indispensable." Commander Gorshkov said: "This is the first ship No. 105, and the second ship is of the same level as this one." , and the third ship will be a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier with a displacement of more than [-] tons."

Although the focus of Andropov's work is to gradually grasp the economy, and although he also knows that the military occupies too much of the Soviet Union's expenses, Andropov still firmly supports the Soviet Union's military construction, especially the naval construction , because the Soviet Union is the greatest country in the world!The economy of the Soviet Union can be resolved through reforms, but the military of the Soviet Union cannot be contracted.

"Come on, let's go up and have a look." Andropov said with great interest.

Chapter 488 The Baath Party elects a new vice-chairman

"Commander, Commander." Ali heard several people calling out to him, the voices were very clear, but he just felt his eyelids go numb, and he couldn't open his eyes no matter what.

After swimming back to the shore, Ali looked at the blue sky and white clouds in the sky, but his heart was extremely depressed. He closed his eyes unconsciously, and as a result, fell into a coma like this.

After soaking in the sea for one night, he swam to the shore with strong perseverance, his body was wet, and his mental state was very poor. As a result, Ali developed a high fever like this.

And this ship set off last night, but did not return all night, and after two cargo ships hit mines during the day, they finally discovered that their own coastline had been laid with mines, and the Navy of the Revolutionary Guards who set off last night Commander, I'm afraid my soul has returned to the sea.

And when Ali on the coast was found, it was already daytime the next day. Ali had already had a fever all day long.

Ali's fever subsided, and another day later, when he regained consciousness, he received an order from above that the chairman of the combat committee, Rafsanjani, wanted to see him!

Immediately he struggled and came to Tehran.

Unexpectedly, when he met Rafsanjani, the great spiritual leader was also in Tehran, and his mood was very bad.

"Ali, how is our operation in the Strait of Hormuz going?" Rafsanjani asked.

As if he was a student who had passed a blank paper in an exam, Ali didn't know what to say when he looked at the supreme leader next to him.
