Chapter 617: Avoid the Servo Failure Immediately
The Soviet aircraft carrier is speeding towards the route of our ships! Judging from their intention, they want to hit our warships! When Lieutenant General Wylie received this news, he was stunned.
These crazy Soviets, how could they do anything! Only the Soviets dared to use an aircraft carrier like this!
The United States' aircraft carriers are all built with taxpayers' money. If they dare to be used like this, the taxpayers will definitely be indignant. Aircraft carriers are not bumper cars. How can they be used for collision on the battlefield!
The ramming tactic can be said to be an early form of warfare after its emergence. At that time, the ships were equipped with tall towers and rams, which could destroy enemy ships through rapid collisions.
Now, this is an aircraft carrier! There are dozens of carrier-based aircraft and various missiles on it. If it hits, will the carrier-based aircraft be displaced due to excessive turbulence, causing collision and damage? Will the missiles inside explode due to the collision?
The Americans were stunned. They had no idea how to break this situation. An aircraft carrier of more than 40,000 tons was rapidly heading towards one of their warships of several thousand tons. How should they break it?
"Opposite aircraft carrier, please don't come close to us, please don't come close to us, the distance is only 500 meters, we will collide!" Raymond shouted loudly on the Karen.
Now, the opponent has accelerated to more than 20 knots. With such speed and weight, if it really collides with us, we will fall apart! Raymond finally couldn't sit still anymore.
"The servo is faulty. Our servo is stuck and unable to turn. Please evade immediately!" At this moment, a reply came from the opposite side that left Raymond speechless.
Bullshit! Steering gear failure? How could an aircraft carrier, as the most advanced weapon, have such a simple error? Steering gear stuck? Why don't you say your boiler exploded?
Damn the Soviets! Raymond cursed and thought rapidly, with beads of sweat oozing out of his head.
"Four hundred meters away from the enemy ship." At this time, on the Novorossiysk, the internal loudspeaker was constantly reporting the distance.
On the aircraft carrier, the personnel are making intensive and orderly preparations. All carrier-based aircraft have been reinforced and all moving objects have been locked. They are waiting for that moment to come.
Collision! In the Cold War, because weapons could not be used directly, this unconventional method had to be used! Almost every naval personnel had received training in this area! They were very familiar with collision.
"One hundred meters away from the enemy ship!" At this time, the speed of the aircraft carrier had increased to 25 knots. A hundred meters was passed in the blink of an eye! Every member of the team held on to the things beside them, waiting for the force of the collision.
"Please turn immediately, please turn immediately!" Raymond continued to shout loudly through the loudspeaker.
"Our steering gear is malfunctioning, please move away immediately!" said Captain Dovbonya, standing in the bridge, holding tightly onto the fixed rod beside him, his eyes grim.
On the sea, a huge aircraft carrier was sailing against the wind and waves, its tail leaving beautiful splashes of water. Its route was intersecting with that of an opponent's destroyer!
In fact, although the Americans deployed their troops to block the Soviet naval formation, with more than a hundred warships spread across the sea, there was still space between the warships, and the Soviet naval ships could pass through the enemy ships.
However, doing so is just like a rat crossing the street, which is not the style of the Soviet Navy. If they want to leave, they will leave with dignity!
The setting sun shone on the sea. Overhead, American carrier-based aircraft were flying in formation. The pilots looked out from one side of the cockpit and saw this thrilling scene on the sea.
Two warships are about to collide!
"Fifty meters away!" The broadcast on the aircraft carrier was very calm, and everyone had made final preparations to meet the impact.
"Ring hard to right, rudder hard to right!" At the last moment, Raymond finally compromised. If there was a collision, the Soviet aircraft carrier might be fine, but his destroyer would probably be sunk. He couldn't waste taxpayers' money like this! Moreover, he would be responsible for the hundreds of meters of naval soldiers on the warship! Damn the Soviets!
The hull of the Karen began to tilt, and the huge inertia caused by the full right rudder made everyone on the ship feel uncomfortable.
However, the operation of the warship was not very sensitive. Although the helmsman had turned the rudder to the end, the huge hull was still rushing forward!
If you want to avoid it, then you should turn right at least 100 meters away! Now, the distance of 50 meters is almost reached in an instant! The bow of the Karen has changed its azimuth by less than 20 degrees, and it is already zero distance from the opposite Soviet aircraft carrier!
Zero distance! Just collision!
The bow of the Karen passed by the port side of the Novorossiysk! The friction between steel and steel made a creaking sound that made one's teeth soften. The outer side of the ship was obviously deformed! At the same time, sparks flew!
God! Feeling the collision, Raymond couldn't help but exclaim in his heart, let these Yankees die!
On the Eisenhower in the back, Captain Mark clenched his fists. From his position, he could clearly see the collision that happened at that time! He saw his own warship rubbing against the side of the other aircraft carrier, rubbing from the front to the back!
This is an unacceptable fact. These are the most difficult few tens of seconds! Because during the entire collision, the Soviet aircraft carrier's posture hardly changed, and only its own warships were injured! In a collision, the one with the larger mass always has the advantage!
Finally, the collision was over. The port side of the Karen was in a terrible state. From the bow to the stern, the outboard side of the ship on the port side was squeezed and deformed! At the worst time, the hull tilted more than 40 degrees and was about to capsize!
As for the Novorossiysk, there was only a scratch on the side of the ship! The paint on the outside was scratched, revealing the color of the metal inside!
"Woo, woo!" The Novorossiysk blew its whistle, and continued to move forward without slowing down! Behind it, one Soviet warship after another came through the gap created by the collision!
This blocking tactic completely failed! The Soviet naval fleet broke through the blocking line set by itself and easily sailed out of the Aegean Sea and headed for the Mediterranean Sea!
Looking at the Soviet aircraft carrier passing by, Mark's eyes were full of anger. At this moment, he really thought about using his own aircraft carrier to hit the other side! His displacement was twice that of the other side, and he could definitely hit the other side!
