As to Japanese tug, want by another boat, procrastinate to need He Gang toward the horizontal stroke. American navy looks be like very powerful, what produce the Wu Longzhen that come actually is not little, merchantman can bump into a warship to cause serious casualty, the lord goods mine that joins tsarist Russia age also can scamper hurts American warship. Tell to everybody here tell this Luo Baici date to touch thunder incident.
Go up century 80 time, period of two Yi war, produced the large-scale battle that raid a ship, the United States the interest for oneself, the decision expedites a warship to be in thalassic area, undertake to tanker convoy acts. 1988, american naval Luo Baici date is carried out to bay by the clique convoy task, date of bowstring of this naval vessel is FFG-58, belong to frigate of the class in admire, frigate of the class in admire, of a low class patrol naval ships, basically carry Wu to go to convoy with air defence instead convoy.
On April 14, 1988 before dawn, "Luo Baici " after date is finishing convoy job, in returning boat travel along water area of thalassic and mid main channel. Be in in travel Bahrain island on the course western, Bing Wang Bing discovered 3 mine suddenly, make this battleship must stop, subsequently captain of a naval ship decides the mine field that the warship had entered danger. Give orders to shut main engine immediately, enter urgent action preparation, go to adagio with 3 subsequently time back a car, try to exit mine field. Still be too late regrettablly, be in 4 when 50 time-sharing, the warship still hits a mine, give scamper to give about 8 meters long opening sustainer cabin subsequently, successive explosion brings about 2 fuel box to also produce explosion, still cause conflagration of 4 around cabin, make power supply system breaks down in the round, make whole battleship is immersed in inky in. Fortunately personal casualty is finite, only 10 sailors get hurt. Below sailor effort the course counts a hour, conflagration and flood just are able to control, avoid this frigate to sink marine adversity. Pulling chief of a tribe of past A couplet by a tug subsequently enlighten do obeisance to harbor, final United States can employ only large go partly heavy-duty cargo ship, pullback this naval vessel American haven undertakes heavying repair.
In touching thunder incident this, this warship damage is very serious, repair charge to be as high as 100 million much dollar, more expensive than cost. Launched an extensive mine sweeping operation in accident maritime space subsequently. Just confirm this naval vessel is hurt by blast of a M-08 mine later, this finalized the design 1908, by the mine that tsarist Russia develops, value only 1500 dollars. This one incident makes an U.S. Army disastrous, a warship is hurt by scamper, the loss passes 100 million, come from disposition say, the U.S. Army should undertake retaliation necessarily, however the U.S. Army dare not find out a murderer however, let this thing end up with nothing definite finally.
If want investigation to go down really, can not check certainly, the reason is the investigation that do not have a law, although this mine is old old, use quite extensive however, it seems that the person that have no way searchs cloth to put.
But mine can be put in this place, have two countries Iran and Iraq only. The most possible is Iraq, but at that time Iraq and American concern had fitted, the United States does not want to borrow this to start work to Iraq apparently. Iranian possibility also cannot eliminate, but euqally impracticable also, the United States and Iran already became hostile state, on this thing processing, can let the United States have a headache only. No matter what findings is, american does not want to see, finally can dummy eats the rhizome of Chinese goldthread, suffering did not say to go out. Also can see from this matter additionally should defeat American fleet, in imagining actually so difficult, perhaps a casual mistake, american fleet is met by put an end to.
