Tsarist Empire: Please call me His Majesty the Tsar chapter 692

The battleship Ravage has begun to accelerate wildly, and the slower it is when attacked by enemy submarines, the higher the probability of being hit.

On both sides of the battleship, there were many sailors responsible for guarding, and searchlights illuminated the sea. As soon as an incoming torpedo is detected, an alert is immediately issued so that the warship can immediately evade it.

Inside the Commander Tower, Admiral Roger Keyes’ face was gloomy, as if he could drip water.

He never imagined that this battle would turn out like this. The Russians were so daring that they directly sent a large number of submarines to ambush them, which was simply beyond their expectations!

“Your Excellency Commander, the battleship Agincourt and the battlecruiser Prestige were sunk. The attack of the Russians’ submarines continued. Our destroyers, already in the process of anti-submarine operations. But at the moment the entire fleet is in chaos, and I am afraid it will be difficult to stop the Russians from continuing to attack us!” Vice Admiral Field also looked ugly.

Ordered the fleet to calm down quickly, and to take out the Russians’ submarines, and not to let them attack us with impunity!” ordered Admiral Roger Keyes.

Lieutenant General Field nodded. However, he knew that this was simply impossible.

“Boom! Boom! Boom!”

The explosion continued, and the attack of the submarine formation of the Imperial Russian Navy continued.

Every submarine is attacking. Moreover, it is still possible to find the most valuable targets to attack.

Battleships and battle cruisers that never set were naturally the best targets. The second-class targets were heavy and light cruisers. It is really impossible to find a suitable target, so they will launch an attack on those destroyers.

Of course, in this process, it is also necessary to avoid being sunk by the destroyer that never sets.

Saving yourself first and then taking out the enemy is the most effective tactic.

The battleship Royal Monarch of the Royal Navy of the Empire Never Sets was also hit by a torpedo. Very badly, two Swordfish-class submarines targeted him at the same time.

So much so that 8 533-mm heavy torpedoes were fired at the battleship.

Even if the speed of the battleship Royal Monarch has increased to 20 knots. But, in front of torpedoes, it was still too slow.

In the end, six 533-mm heavy reserves hit the battleship Royal Monarch.

Although the thickness of the waterline armor of the battleship Royal Monarch reached 330 mm. However, after being hit by six 533-mm heavy torpedoes, it still resisted.

The six large holes that were blown out were all located underwater.

The sea water frantically poured into the hull of the ship, making the damage management personnel on this battleship powerless.

It’s really because there are too many places for water to enter, even if the watertight compartments are all closed. But too much sea water poured into the hull was enough to make the battleship lose its buoyancy.

The battleship Royal Oak had slightly better luck and was hit with two torpedoes. Although it suffered heavy damage, the hull also tilted due to too much water ingress, and almost lost its combat effectiveness. However, it did not sink after all. Just return to the shipyard, pump out the incoming seawater, plug the loophole again, and you can continue fighting.

In addition, the third battlecruiser of the Admiral-class battlecruiser, the How, also suffered several torpedoes. This battle cruiser, despite its displacement of more than 46,000 tons, can be called one of the largest capital ships of the Royal Navy of the Empire. But the common problem of battle cruisers remained, that is, the armor was too weak.

The thickness of the waterline armor, but only 305 mm, could not carry a 533 mm heavy torpedo.

In addition, the battle cruiser Howe was too large, and in the dark night, it was naturally regarded as an important target by the submarines of the Russian Navy. Three submarines set their sights on Howe

battlecruiser.

Despite the speed of the battlecruiser Howe, it did not escape. (Read violent novels, go on Feilu Fiction Network!)

In the end, 7 533-mm heavy torpedoes were hit. They were all blown through under the waterline armor. This was completely fatal for the battlecruiser Howe.

Soon, the battlecruiser Howe was sunk and became another important capital ship lost by the Royal Navy.

The second ship of the Prestige-class battlecruiser counterattacked the battlecruiser, which also failed to escape.

In the chaos, he was approached by a submarine.

The submarine Shark 44 of the Russian Navy fired torpedoes just a kilometer from the battlecruiser Counterattack.

The 4533mm heavy torpedo all hit the battlecruiser Counterattack, directly sending this huge battlecruiser with a displacement of more than 30,000 tons to the bottom of the sea.

In addition, the fourth battleship of the Nelson-class battleship of the Royal Navy of the Empire, the battleship Roar, also received several torpedoes. However, the battle cruiser Roar had better luck and was not sunk, but only suffered heavy damage.

But even so, in this battle, the Mediterranean Fleet of the Royal Navy of the Empire has already sunk 4 battleships or battle cruisers, and two more have been severely damaged.

This is undoubtedly a huge blow to the Royal Navy’s Mediterranean Fleet.

Originally, the Mediterranean Fleet had 14 capital ships. But now, they have only 8 left. If you encounter the Black Sea Fleet of the Russian Imperial Navy alone, I am afraid that you will be at a complete disadvantage.

In addition to these capital ships, several cruisers and destroyers were sunk. There were no less wounded cruisers and destroyers.

It can be seen from this that this attack of the submarine forces of the Russian Navy caused great losses to the Mediterranean Fleet of the Royal Navy.

The submarine forces of the Black Sea Fleet of the Russian Navy withdrew from this area after completing the attack (Zhao’s).

However, during the battle, several submarines were sunk. Some were sunk by the guns of the Royal Navy’s Mediterranean Fleet. Others were sunk by depth charges.

In this era, once the submarine is sunk, the submariners have almost no possibility of survival. The submarine will turn into a cold iron coffin, carrying these submariners to grow in this area forever.

However, compared to the Royal Navy, the losses of the Russian Imperial Navy were much smaller. The cost of several submarines all adds up, I’m afraid it is not comparable to a light cruiser. However, they took out four capital ships and damaged two more, and a large number of cruisers and destroyers were also sunk or badly damaged. Such a result is already very brilliant.

Of course, for people who do not set the sun, it is undoubtedly to die before they can get out! .
