Chronicles of sea battle. Cruisers off the coast of Libya

75


Prologue

September 1 The green flames of Jamahiriya flared up over Tripoli on 1969 - a group of young officers led by Muammar Gaddafi managed to overthrow King Idris and take power into their own hands. The new government of Libya has declared its readiness to embark on the socialist path of development - for the leadership of the USSR, this was a signal that a new potential ally and partner appeared in the Mediterranean region.

The only problem is that American and British military bases remained in the territory of the Libyan Arab Republic. An important oil-bearing region threatened to become the site of a bloody clash — the West began preparations for an operation to interfere in the country's internal affairs — as demanded by the former Libyan-British defense treaty. It was necessary to transfer reinforcements from the island of Crete to the British airbases Tobruk and Al-Adem and to order the commencement of an offensive operation.

The Sixth Fleet of the US Navy headed by the aircraft carrier "John F. Kennedy" moved to the scene of the incident - the situation took a serious turn.

Chronicles of sea battle. Cruisers off the coast of Libya

Sixth Fleet off the coast of Sicily, 1965 year

At this time, in the Mediterranean Sea was the 5th OPESK Naval Fleet USSR as part of four cruisers: anti-submarine missile launcher "Moscow", missile launcher "Grozny", artillery launcher "Jerzhynsky" and "M. Kutuzov ”, three large anti-submarine ships and 10 obsolete destroyers of projects 30 bis, 56 and 31 (the latter are radio reconnaissance ships). Under water, the squadron was covered by six diesel-electric submarines (missile carriers, project 651) and a multipurpose submarine of project 627A.

Soviet ships immediately dispersed - the BOD and the destroyers formed a 150-mile protective zone between the coast of Libya and Fr. Crete. Now, in order to transfer forces by air, British transport aircraft would have to fly over the ships of the Soviet Navy. The threat to get under fire naval SAMs acted soberingly - already on September 5 London declared that he would not interfere in the internal affairs of Libya.

An attempt to “project the force” with the help of the Sixth Fleet suffered a crushing fiasco — on September 6 in the Tyrrhenian Sea, the carrier-based strike group was discovered by Tu-16Р sea reconnaissance aircraft. A day later, the AUG was already moving in a tight ring of Soviet cruisers and submarines holding a “pistol at the temple” of the Sixth Fleet. After wandering along the Libyan coast at the sight of six-inch "Kutuzov" and "Dzerzhinsky" squadron of the US Navy went to the opposite course. 15 September 1969, ashamed Americans returned to the berths of the Naples naval base.

The Soviet Navy conscientiously fulfilled the task.

Missile against missiles

Not so long ago, a curious calculation appeared on one of the thematic sites of Runet - what would be the real chances of the Soviet artillery cruiser 68-bis in the event of a military clash with an American squadron?

The simple answer — deck planes will detect and sink a cruiser at a distance of 500 miles — only for Pacific theaters of the 1941-1945 period. During the Cold War, the situation changed - the Soviet fleet practiced actions to track the ships of the “likely enemy” in peacetime. In the event of an escalation of the conflict and the beginning of the war, the cruisers did not need to break through anywhere - they were initially at the line of sight, ready to open fire on the decks of aircraft carriers and escort ships of the US Navy.

The prospect of fire contact with the cruiser of the project 68-bis (Sverdlov-class) could not help but terrify the American sailors.

Soviet version. Mate in three moves

Six inches. 152 mm. - This is a two meter deep funnel where a machine gun calculation of two numbers could fit.

The guns of the Soviet cruiser hit day and night, in any conditions, in the thickest fog, storm and sandstorm. Minimum reaction time. In addition to the optical range finders, radar guidance was available — a fire control system based on the Zalp radar made it possible to automatically correct firing at bursts of fallen projectiles. The maximum firing range - 30 000 meters. The high-explosive fragmentation projectile RP-35 left the trunk section at the speed of 950 m / s - three speeds of sound! faster than any modern anti-ship missile



In total, on board the cruiser of the 68-pr Ave., 12 of such guns * was installed in four armored revolving towers MK-5. Practical rate of fire of each gun - 4-7 shots per minute.

* on "Dzerzhinsky" - six. Instead of the fodder group GK, an experimental SA-N M-2 was mounted.

Even if the “probable enemy” ships were out of the shelling sector of the feed implements, the destructive power of the main-class bow group was more than enough to turn any US Navy ship into flaming ruins.

Only the blind could miss the 300-meter hull “John F. Kennedy”. Three full-time salvo for sighting - the fourth in the "apple"!

In the case of an aircraft carrier, the situation acquired an especially gloomy tint - it was enough to “put” just one shell on the deck of aircraft technology, to cause a catastrophe - the ship flashed like a counterfeit Chinese fireworks. With a powerful explosion and ignition of tens of tons of fuel and ammunition suspended under the wings of aircraft.

This completes the work of the Soviet artillerymen - all the rest will be done by the flames of the kerosene spilled everywhere - the fire will certainly penetrate the hangar and the lower decks through the holes punched through by detonation aviation bombs. The losses will be terrible. The question of further participation in hostilities will become irrelevant - the survivors will be concerned with a completely different problem: will it be possible to save the ship?


Fire on the deck of the aircraft carrier "Enterprise" (1969 year). The reason is the spontaneous launch of the NURS caliber 127 mm.
A similar case took place on board the AB “Forrestal” (1967 year) - the rocket fell off the pylon and hit the tank in front of the attack aircraft. The fuse prevented the explosion, but one spark was enough - a fierce fire destroyed half of the air group and killed 134 of a man of the ship's personnel.

But the “Oriskani” (1966 year) suffered the silliest of all - the aircraft carrier almost died from a signal rocket, accidentally launched into the hands of a sailor.

There is no reason to doubt that an 152-mm projectile exploding on the deck of the aircraft carrier John F. Kennedy would have caused less damage. Six kilograms of the mighty brizant and thousands of red-hot splinters would surely bring the ship down.


The artillery armament of the 68-bis cruisers was not limited to the main caliber - there were three CM-5-1 two-gun installations with semi-automatic 100 mm caliber guns on each side of the ship - six trunks on each side, controlled by the Anchor artillery radar.

Universal artillery shells had a smaller mass and firing range (24 kilometer), but the rate of fire of each gun could reach 15-18 rds / min - it is easy to imagine what could happen to the Kennedy if such a squall of fire fell on him.



History he doesn’t say if the escort cruisers had two or three destroyers - each “56 project” or the old “30-bis” could “congratulate” the enemy with a volley of 130-mm naval guns.

The situation is paradoxical - rusty Soviet cruisers and outdated destroyers could, with one click, deprive the US Navy squadron of its main force, and then engage in battle with escort cruisers and missile destroyers on highly advantageous conditions.

There was no one to be afraid - the Americans in 1969 had neither anti-ship missiles, nor large-caliber guns, nor a torpedo weapons on surface ships.
Universal "five-inch" (127 mm) could not cause enough damage to an armored monster in a short time.


Escort cruiser USS Leahy (DLG / CG-16) 1962 of the year of construction. Was completely deprived of artillery weapons, with the exception of a pair of anti-aircraft guns

The reaction time of the US Navy aviation is incomparable with 68-bis artillery. Airplanes need to take off from a catapult, gain altitude, lie down on a combat course, and only then attack the “target”, which continually spews tons of red-hot steel from itself. It would not have happened that aircraft would die without having managed to rise from the deck of the ship. In addition, it’s not yet a fact that even the most powerful weapons that the American pilots had at that time - free-fall bombs weighing 227 and 454 kg could cause the cruiser to be critically damaged.

A certain threat is only a surprise attack from under water - but, in any case, the response time of the American submarine will be excessively long. Cruisers will die the death of the brave, but by that time all the American "tins" will be slaughtered.

One jump - and you are in ladies!

American version. Two elemental demons

... Where do these Russians climb with their backward Bolshevik technologies? They naively hope that we lack anti-ship missiles, armor and large-caliber artillery.

Ha! We have all this! The cruiser “Little Rock”, the flagship of the Sixth Fleet, follows the wake of the carrier, and was specifically sent from Gaeta to reinforce the American grouping off the coast of Libya.

This rusty junk was launched in the 1944 year, so he had armored belts, armored decks and even one tower of the main caliber - the duel "Little Rock" with the cruiser Ave. 68-bis could have become an enchanting spectacle.

But we are not going to get our hands dirty in artillery combat - too vulgar an occupation in the Era of rocket weapons. We have prepared for the Russian special "Surprise" -
Submit to the launcher two missiles "Talos"!



The USS Little Rock (CLG-4) is an old Cleveland-class cruiser that underwent a deep modernization under the Galveston project. At the end of the 1950s, both aft towers were dismantled from the cruiser - a launcher and a protected cellar were installed on the RIM-46 Talos 8 anti-aircraft missiles in exchange. Also, the bow of the ship was redesigned. Thanks to high lattice masts, massive AN / SPS-43, AN / SPS-30 airborne target radars and thumbs, AN / SPG-49 radar fire control systems acquired their whimsical memorable silhouette - the ship seemed to have disappeared from the screen of the science fiction film 60 -y's


USS Little Rock (CL / CLG / CG-4), Mediterranean, 1974 Year

Initially, the Yankees did not plan any surprises. The Galveston project assumed the transformation of three obsolete cruisers into an air defense platform — ship groups needed reliable air cover. The newest at that time, the maritime SAM "Talos" promised solid opportunities - the possibility of hitting air targets at a distance of 180 km.

The unique characteristics of “Talos” are obtained at an expensive price - the complex turned out to be HUGE. A huge cellar for the preparation of rockets, more like a factory floor, bulky radar, a whole hall with tube computers, numerous auxiliary systems, power equipment, cooling and ventilation systems. But the main thing - the rockets themselves. Monstrous 11-meter "logs" of mass 3,5 tons (with booster accelerator).
But even without an accelerator, the size of the rocket shook the imagination: the mass - 1542 kg! - as a shell of the battleship "Yamato" (of course, taking into account the design, cross-sectional area and mechanical strength of the rocket). There was a special version of the "Talos" in the nuclear version - such a rocket was supposed to "clear" the coast before the landing in the Third World War.



But the main thing - during the operation it turned out that the Talos could be used not only against air targets - like any air defense system, it had a mode of shooting at surface objects! The anti-aircraft missile’s GOS doesn’t matter what signal is reflected - from an airplane’s wing or from an enemy ship’s superstructure, just disconnect the proximity fuze — and RIM-8 Talos turns into a powerful supersonic anti-ship missile with a 136 kg warhead RIM-8H with pointing to a source of radar radiation. Such "tricks" US Navy cruisers will fire at the position of the Vietnamese radar and air defense missile system).

If you do not take into account the anti-radar modification of the RIM-8H, then the dual-use Talos missile was not a full-fledged anti-ship system - the firing range is too small. Even the largest ships with high superstructures could be fired at SAMs at a distance of a maximum of a couple of tens of kilometers - the AN / SPG-49 radar does not know how to “look” over the horizon, and the Talos rocket turns into a useless piece of metal. .




Talos Nearly Destroyed Target Destroyer

Just a couple of tens of kilometers ... But this is more than enough to strike at Soviet ships approaching the US Navy carrier group! There, off the coast of Libya, in the fall of 1969, the Little Rock could easily have been hit by the cruiser 68-bis with the Talos missile.

As shown by computer simulations, the 1,5-ton blank, rushing from the sky at speed 2,5M, punches, like a foil, 50-mm armored formwork of the Kutuzov cruiser and the underlying 15-mm steel lining.

The core warhead is likely to collapse when it hits the armor, but it will be replaced by 300 liters of rocket fuel - a volumetric explosion will occur in the affected compartment, accompanied by the rapid spread of the fuel aerosol cloud and fragments at a speed of 2 km / s! The effect of hitting the Talos is similar to hitting a heavy explosive incendiary bomb in a cruiser.

Meanwhile, “Little Rock” will recharge its PU and in a minute will deliver a new blow. The Talos rocket, in comparison with an artillery projectile, is exceptionally accurate - it will most likely hit the target from the very first shot. In such conditions, the Soviet squadron becomes doomed ...

Epilogue. Few will survive in that battle

In the heated debate about the "living dead" and "ritual sacrifices" in the confrontation of the two largest fleets that have ever plied the oceans, the final point was not put.
Proponents of the Reds claim that the US Navy only had 8 cruisers with the Talos complex — too few to cover all US Navy squadrons across the globe. In addition, they appeared in the 1960-64 period, i.e. on the 10-15 years later, the 68-bis cruisers - in fact, this is a technique from different eras that happened by mistake due to a misunderstanding on the battlefield. By the end of 60, the role of the main strike force of the USSR Navy had already passed to missile cruisers and nuclear submarines.

Supporters of the "blue" reasonably note that another maritime air defense system could be used as a Talos, although with a much smaller effect, for example, the medium and short range Terrier and Tartar complexes - the number of American ships equipped with these air defense systems was calculated many dozens. However, the air defense missile system was not unusual, and the Soviet cruisers and destroyers ...


Large anti-submarine ship project 61

The “Reds” exemplify the fact that the hull of the 68-bis cruiser consisted of 23 autonomous waterproof compartments - even a few hits of the Talos and the severe damage caused to them from cabin rooms, superstructures and parts of the engine room did not guarantee that the cruiser would cease fire (loss of radars not terrible - each tower has its own set of fire control devices). In the history there are examples when Russian sailors fired until the ship was hidden under water.

"Blue" claim that the pursuit of the American group was not easy - American destroyers maneuvered dangerously and constantly cut a course for Soviet ships, trying to push them away from the aircraft carrier. The “Reds” talk about the excellent handling and 32 hub speed of the 68-bis cruiser.

Was it a justified decision to send old artillery cruisers to intercept AUG? The argument can be endless ...

Personal author's point of view is as follows: when preventively (or at least simultaneously) receiving a signal about the beginning of the war, the artillery cruisers of the USSR Navy had a big chance to put a volley across the flight deck of an aircraft carrier and possibly damage / destroy several smaller escort ships.
The rate of fire of the guns is too high, and the carrier carrier’s vulnerability is too high.

And then, the cruiser will die the death of the brave ...

We had no other way then. 60s stood in the courtyard, the USSR Navy had just entered the World Ocean. He was still too weak and primitive compared to the powerful US Navy, which has 10-fold budget and experience of conducting a real naval war in the vast oceans.
And, nevertheless, our fleet held on well! That year, off the coast of Libya, the Soviet sailors were able to competently demonstrate their intentions and thus achieve a convincing bloodless victory.

As for the effectiveness of the use of artillery in modern naval combat, its advantage over rocket weapons becomes apparent only when providing fire support and shelling the coast.

      anyway it’s written interestingly!

      I agree with you, writes dear OLEG exciting! I want to consider a little more in detail the scenario proposed by the author of the struggle of an artillery cruiser with an aircraft carrier. Suppose that such a situation arose and the cruiser of the USSR Navy, which was following the AUG of the US Navy in a parallel course next door, discharged its main caliber on the deck of the United States aircraft carrier that we hated? We are pleased to assume that after some torment he sank with a couple of destroyers escorting URA, URA, URA !!! It will be a short-term victory in tactical terms! One aircraft carrier will be sunk, but the United States has more than a dozen! Then everything will be different.
      US Navy AUG will start tracking our cruisers and destroyers at long range and destroying them with aircraft! I am now trying to develop the topic proposed by the respected author, since the conversation has turned up again for aircraft carriers and I ask the respected members of the forum not to start waving a nuclear club with shouts "Yes if, what, yes, we are their atomic bomb!" I understand everything perfectly, but let's argue precisely on the topic proposed by the author about the confrontation between cruisers with the main caliber and aircraft carriers with their planes !!!

        Victory in local operation achieved

        Next is a truce. Or the Third World War, where AUGs are of little importance. There will be a tank battle in Europe - then geography will intervene: a 6000-kilometer anti-tank moat with salt water will face the opponents. Truce.

        If the leadership of the USSR and the USA finally demolishes the roof, it will be exchanged with nuclear strikes. So that is all. Then the fourth world - with stones and sticks

          Victory in local operation achieved

          I can offer a local operation exactly the opposite. AUG USA goes to the coast of FRANCE or ITALY and decides for the first strike on our cruiser, because our ship is unlikely to violate the territorial waters of NATO countries? I personally will not envy our cruiser without air cover!
          Now the victory in local conflict is achieved by the Americans.
          Well, then a truce ???

            Firstly, our squadron comes close to the American, and secondly, territorial waters - it is only 12 miles from the coast. I do not think that the sixth fleet could get ashore and run away. wink

              Then we will go the other way, what would I do on the site of Amer, to drown our cruiser with minimal losses for myself? The AUG group leaves the zone of the alleged conflict and is in full swing into the vast oceans with a tail from our ships. Another US Navy compound is being put forward for a meeting, the supplies of fuel, fresh water and provisions on our ships are coming to an end, and I didn’t hear that the Soviet Navy would have dared to approach the US shores and they would have to return leaving one of their ships for tracking ? And then the blow will be struck!

        AUG US Navy will begin to track our long-range cruisers and destroyers and destroy them with the help of aviation!

        There is something else - escorting the AUG by cruisers only makes sense in peacetime. Then the artillery ships have the opportunity to get close to the AB at 70-90 KBT and go side by side. Well, if the international situation escalates, the cruiser approaches 60, 40 kbt and even closer. And the United States will not do anything here - the sea is common. If ordered, the cruiser strikes. If the Americans were the first to receive an order to start a war, then, unfortunately, they may not have time to strike back.
        Well, when the war has already begun - naturally, no one will be chasing cruisers for AB.

        But in this particular case, it’s probably worth it to operate with atomic weapons - because if the order is given (at least the USSR, at least the USA) then there will be no small warfare with conventional weapons, but there will be a universal nuclear missile. Therefore, the alternative considered the issue of nuclear strikes by both sides

          And you and Oleg somehow forget that in such cases, the A-6 link with bombs, an RTR plane, a tanker always hangs in the air. Americans are not rams to act relaxed in a possible crisis. In addition, guard ships are located next to our ships ready to open fire from artillery and TA. The first salvo to reach even 40 kb. (7,5 km.) It’s practically not realistic, at best with a third salvo, but will there be an opportunity to make a third salvo?

            According to those who actually did this patrol, no, not always. Yes, you yourself imagine what it means to keep as many aircraft in the air around the clock at least a few days.

            Why not? What should get in the way? Accept the terms you voiced as effective for the Americans. If our cruiser hits from the third salvo, so their escort ships will also hit from the third salvo. Note also that the cruiser does not act against the AUG alone, but in the company of at least several destroyers, which have 130-mm artillery and torpedoes on the escort ships. And that most US escorts have only 127mm artillery, which is generally incapable of inflicting decisive damage on a cruiser weighing 15 tons. And that anti-ship torpedoes were not installed on the US escort (starting with Kunz).

              And what is the way out for the Americans when the enemy ships are at their side? Yes, and "for several days" this is not the case, an aircraft carrier only needs to be at a distance exceeding the firing range of the enemy's main caliber guns, for its aviation 40 km. not distance.

              A turn of the main gun’s cannons toward American ships will be instantly detected by a reconnaissance aircraft from an aircraft carrier, orders will be immediately issued to interfere with the aircraft, change course / speed, take off attack aircraft in high alert, combat alert to all aircraft carrier commands, guard ships, and at the first salvo our cruisers will be attacked by aircraft carrier attack aircraft, there can be no talk of targeted shooting in this case.

                Yes, and "for several days" this is not the case, an aircraft carrier only needs to be at a distance exceeding the firing range of the enemy's main caliber guns, for its aviation 40 km. not distance.

                An aircraft carrier cannot do this. The ocean is nobody's, and Soviet ships have every right to be anywhere in it, including 4-5 km from the American aircraft carrier. It is impossible to forbid it to them. You cannot run away from them either - the speed is not the same.

                But none of this will succeed, since the turn of the tower on the 90 hail takes about 13 seconds (it is possible to give out data for firing and loading the guns before), but in order to raise at least two or three dozen aircraft even from years of WWII required at least 20 minutes.
                But even an immediately taking off plane still cannot attack - it needs to gain altitude, make a call ... And this despite the fact that to attack a formation consisting of several ships, it will take more than one and not five aircraft (according to today's standards, for a successful attack 4- 5 warships require at least 25 aircraft in any way) And despite the fact that A-6 bombs are not able to instantly destroy the cruiser.

There were three A-4C attack squadrons on Kennedy, if our fleet will keep a distance of 5 km, then one squadron will hang constantly in the air, and another will be on the deck with suspended weapons in high alert, plus there will be a constantly RA scout in the air -5C and jammer-EA-1F Skyraider.

On account of its importance, "The artillery radar" Zalp "was used for the first time in the PUS system, which with high accuracy ensured the measurement of not only the range and heading angle of the target, but also the deviations of the points of fall of the shells from the target in bursts."

                    Yes it will not. An airplane is not a balloon; in order for it to fly, it needs a bunch of all kinds of preparation — preflight, afterflight after each flight, afterflight at the end of a flight day and after a certain number of flight hours. At the same time, an 1 flight hour requires from 20 to 50 man-hours of maintenance.
                    Therefore, the normative coefficient of combat tension (i.e., the number of sorties per day for one aircraft) on aircraft carriers is two. In reality, it was even lower, reaching 1,5 in the Iraq war. But let's take two, all in all - each squadron makes 2 sorties per day, i.e. three squadrons on AB ensure that one squadron stays in the air for 12-18 hours, no more.

      Well, I would write more modestly. Yes, our fleet showed itself perfectly in the Russian-Turkish wars and with the brilliant admiral Ushakov even against the French. But ... remember Tsushima, who threw back the Russian Empire with one of the most powerful naval powers down. Then the First World War. In fact, the fleet has not recovered. The Japanese fleet was on the side of the Entente. Then the Second World War. Again, all the large surface German ships were drowned by the British, and the Japanese by the Americans. Even the convoys vital to us were escorted by English sailors.

      Sailors of transport escort vessels - generally the deepest bow - to go on a polar night, in stormy conditions (to reduce the effectiveness of German aviation), ice freezes in tons, because of rolling, you can eat dry rations without hot food and under the constant threat of attacks by submarines is the greatest feat.

    The core warhead is likely to collapse on impact with armor, but it will be replaced by 300 liters of rocket fuel - a volume explosion will occur in the affected compartment, accompanied by the rapid spread of a cloud of fuel aerosol and fragments at a speed of 2 km / s



    I disagree with the version of the volumetric explosion. Where does the oxygen come from in the air volume of the affected compartment? Pazhar, the combustion agrees, but the volumetric explosion - for it, the fuel-air mixture must have certain proportions, and even time.

          1. The exhaust stream of the remote control expands with the formation of aerosols / remote control works
          2. even on the launch vehicle there is fuel residues (the so-called guarantee reserve - up to 1-2% of the filling mass), when they merge through the drainage holes from the tanks, form an aerosol cloud / and then the destruction of the hull, tanks, with the TNA running, is chaotic ( relatively) the movement of the whole garbage h / s partitions.
          3. When a liquid jet engine is operating, fuel enters the combustion chamber in portions (which are determined by the rotor speed of the turbopump unit), which can create some "layered" aerosol inhomogeneity.
          4.Ammunition "daisy cutter" (Vietnam, used to calculate the Jungle) - The external carrier is destroyed, releasing aerosol into the air, which mixes with the oxygen contained in the air, forming a combustible mixture. The internal charge ignites the fuel throughout the volume — a ball with a diameter of 30–50 meters, in the entire volume of which a pressure of 4–5 atmospheres suddenly appears. Strictly speaking, no detonation, that is, an explosion as such, occurs - the fuel simply burns out. But it burns very quickly and almost simultaneously throughout the volume.

                  1960, US experiments: when a bomb containing 10 gallons (32-33 L) ethylene oxide, a cloud of air-fuel mixture was formed with a radius of 7,5-8,5 m, a height of 3 m. After 125 ms the cloud was blown up by several detonators. The resulting shock wave had a front overpressure 2,1 million Pa. For comparison - to create such pressure at a distance of 8 m from the TNT charge requires about 200-250 kg of TNT
                  For destruction by the shock wave of the aircraft, a pressure of 70-90 thousand Pa is required
                  33 liters. Divided by 3, roughly divided the result of the blasting 33 liters per 4 = the house will be destroyed.

                  The phenomenon of volumetric explosion is impossible in airless space, in water, in the ground.
                  -volume explosion ammunition have only aboutdean damaging factor - shock wave. There is no fragmentation and cumulative effect on the target.
                  - there is no brisance (the ability to crush, destroy the barrier), the cloud of the air-fuel mixture is very low., because here there is still an explosion of the type "burning", while in very many cases an explosion of the type "detonation" is required.

                      Spontaneous aerosol formation is possible during condensation, for example, evaporation and condensation from supersaturated vapors during cooling or during a chemical reaction. As a result of cooling during adiabatic expansion of the cloud or when wet air comes into contact with a cold surface, fog forms.
                      The mere contact of AlCl3 with moist air causes a reaction.
                      AlCl3 + H2O = Al (OH) 3,as a result of which aerosol is also formed.

                      The rocket always happens this way (see the launches of the launch vehicle) - AEROSOL CLOUD all TIME (what is mistaken for a UFO)

    Only the blind could miss the 300-meter hull “John F. Kennedy”. Three full-time salvo for sighting - the fourth in the "apple"!

    Well, this is subject to the absence of opposition from the Americans. However, expecting such a stupid thing. Accompanied by our cruisers, Project 68, the American squadron, at least a link of the A-6 Intruder / A-7B Corsair II deck attack aircraft will constantly hang in the air, and another one in high alert will be at launch positions. There will also be a RA-5C Vigilante reconnaissance aircraft in the air who will monitor our squadron and when trying to point cruiser guns to American ships (the turn of the gun turrets will be noticed right away, and since this is not a quick process, the Americans will have time to warn lifting airplanes into the air) the duty unit will receive an order to prepare for the attack, and at the first salvo it will start it. Our cruisers under air attack will have to maneuver, change course and speed, which will affect the accuracy of shooting. As a result, the outcome of the battle will not be as likely as Oleg described.

                  Deckers after take-off fly to the brink of stall speed, are very slow and clumsy, they need time to at least a little bit to get comfortable in the air and gain speed

                    For the start of four cars pre-installed on the starting position will take no more than 30 seconds, because they take off almost in pairs. But this is not so important. The important thing is that at this time one squadron will be on duty in the air. Or do you think that the admiral on the aircraft carrier does not understand the threat from the USSR cruisers? As long as the aircraft carrier is within the range of the cruiser’s shotgun, the aircraft carrier’s command, even out of a sense of self-preservation, will do everything to prevent the cruiser from damaging the aircraft carrier. And the speculation here sounded that our cruisers could be at a distance of 5 km. complete nonsense. AUG has enough speed to prevent it from approaching such a distance.

                    How much will they be aimed. If the first shot is quite possible under normal conditions, then immediately the jammer RA-5C Vigilante will cut his "hurdy-gurdy" to the fullest, turning the radar into useless pieces of iron and adjusting the shooting will have to the old-fashioned way. Moreover, the Skyhawks (they were on the Kennedy in 1969) in the air will certainly start an attack and the cruisers will have to change course and speed, which will affect the accuracy of their shooting.

                    Well, first of all, not 4, but 12. One squadron consists of 12 vehicles. Secondly, the Volna air defense system is a shipborne version of the C-125, the effectiveness of which was tested a year later in Egypt. According to our information, then "In July - August 1970, in 16 firings (33 missiles), 9 Israeli aircraft were shot down and 3 damaged", according to the Israeli side, 5 aircraft were shot down. The network has information about the 24 Phantoms raid on the Soviet anti-aircraft missile group, as a result of which ours shot down 2 Phantoms and damaged 1. No electronic warfare means were used, despite this, the losses of the attacking side were less than 10%!
                    Those. it took more than 6 missiles to destroy one aircraft (Israeli data are more credible, because usually enemy losses are overestimated). In this regard, the likelihood that our anti-aircraft gunners in the conditions of electronic countermeasures will work better than their land counterparts (and obviously not ordinary calculations were sent to Egypt) is more than low.
                    PS: I repeat, I believe that the aircraft carrier does not raise for its protection the attack aircraft, reconnaissance and electronic warfare aircraft BEFORE a possible conflict, the direct accusation of the US Navy command of cretinism and passivity.

                        It is impossible to "hang" over the KR all the time - A4 is not a helicopter. Take a look at the approaching passenger plane, what kind of detour it makes over the city, what its turning radius

                        Attack aircraft, at best, could hang out in the waiting area a couple of tens of miles from the AUG. while the signalman sees the deployed towers, until he informs the CP, while they check the message, they will contact the planes, until the planes reach the KR and ESM, we will orient and attack, while the dropped bombs reach the ship - the KR will have time to complete its task 10 times. And after falling a pair of bombs, he is unlikely to cease fire.

                        In the event of a preventive strike, the KP 68 bis is guaranteed to destroy the AUG. The most effective tool, brilliant tactics

    it was written fascinatingly, but in my opinion, it was improbable, if only because no one was going to and did not want to fight, and therefore the Soviet cruisers were quietly next to the amers. Oleg speaks of a sudden attack and firing on an aircraft carrier, the consequences can be serious, although not fatal. But surprise in reality is hardly achievable. I will explain why: such a sudden attack is a nuclear war and no one in their right mind, even if they decide to such a war, will not give a sudden order to attack only cruisers off the coast of Libya) A general increase in the combat readiness of troops on the continent will begin, many communication centers and so on will be activated. This is instantly detected and appropriate orders are given to their ships and to the armed forces in general. The activation of Soviet ships will also be extremely visible, there are a lot of signs and I will not be surprised that they will not even be allowed to make a salvo. The US military has always been brought up in a preventive manner of warfare and the fact that they knew how to upset the Caribbean crisis showed that they were not afraid of any war, rather, on the contrary, they urged the president to deliver a preventive strike.
    There is also a moment: when the two powers are in the "cocked" state, no one will even let them approach the aircraft carrier, but they will act like this - "any approach of a Soviet warship closer (say) 40 km will be considered as an attempt to attack with all the attendant "

        In my opinion, here you have a mistake Andrey, you again think in terms of peacetime, what international agreements? who will be interested in them? If the powers are ready to exchange nuclear strikes and the advantage in those years was clearly for the United States and both ours and the Americans knew about it. For example, during the Caribbean crisis, the nuclear potential was estimated 1 to 17, guess in whose favor?) No one will prevent the amers from talking and acting extremely impudently and no consequences stopped them from attacks with weak depth charges of our submarines and forced them to surface, the British shot our sonar buoys etc. And yet, for some reason, I am sure that in the event of a strong escalation of the conflict, they would just strike first, they are not taught (as far as I know and can judge) how to wait for a volley on their own, but our military, with all the heroism and courage, they do not like to show initiative.

            Yes, it’s not too hard, all the more vryatli it will drag on for months, a week, no more for sure. Six intruders, after the first call, will make the cruiser battle-worthy, it’s not a battleship anyway, and breaks from a dozen half-explosive bombs will instantly waddle it, and then destroy the destroyers, to the ram with their ships. Aircraft are constantly being lifted from an aircraft carrier and in a threatened period, probably with a combat load, but the turret turn is an abnormal position of the cruiser and indicates a clear intention to shoot.

              I can only repeat what I already wrote above.
              An airplane is not a balloon; in order for it to fly, it needs a bunch of all kinds of preparation — preflight, afterflight after each flight, afterflight at the end of a flight day and after a certain number of flight hours. At the same time, an 1 flight hour requires from 20 to 50 man-hours of maintenance.
              Therefore, the normative coefficient of combat tension (i.e., the number of sorties per day for one aircraft) on aircraft carriers is two. In reality, it was even lower, reaching 1,5 in the Iraq war. But let's take two, all in all - each squadron makes 2 sorties per day, i.e. three squadrons on AB ensure that one squadron stays in the air for 12-18 hours, no more.

              Our silent glanders drag rockets to Cuba (Operation Anadyr), the Americans are jamming them and ... what? But nothing. They did not dare to declare a blockade. Because the blockade is actually a declaration of war. And missile deployment is never an announcement. The USA, instead of showing your recommended steepness, turns to the Organization of American States. The OAS unanimously supported the imposition of sanctions against Cuba. The action was called not “blockade”, but “quarantine”, which did not mean a complete cessation of maritime traffic, but only an obstacle to arms supplies. At the same time, American ships received a clear order - they were allowed to open fire only after receiving a personal order from the president. 6 of our transports went to Cuba after the blockade.

                  It's just that this is the case - our Navy was just getting on the wing, and of course I could not seriously scratch the US Navy trying to give them classic naval battles - the strength and experience were not the same at all. But such an AUG support really had certain chances for success. Assessing the chances, I come to the conclusion that the one who won the first order will win - they will order the Americans - they will hit the URO from all the guard ships so that it doesn’t seem enough, ours just won’t have time to shoot as it should, although here, the Americans are likely to have options without losses not enough. They will order ours - it could very well be that if the aircraft carrier wasn’t eaten up, then it would be bitten ... But there are not so many large aircraft carriers with planes capable of carrying nuclear weapons, and to knock out at least one or two at the very beginning, when ground armies just turn around to strike ... This is quite serious.

                    I'm just not sure that escorting aug, with a sharp aggravation of the situation, achieved anything other than guidance from external avengers) All experience and analysis (mine and certainly not absolute) shows that the man on the bridge of the American aircraft carrier does not at all calculate the situation either. The gap in the settings of the cruiser of 2-4 bombs of caliber 454kg will deprive him of combat effectiveness for sure, although, in my opinion, there will be 10-12 bombs in 5-7 minutes in the threatened period and the carrier will not destroy 3 volleys, if at all it is put under volleys, and will not stupidly cruiser and destroyers at the elevation angle of the cruiser’s guns

Pick up two dozen attack aircraft in the most threatened period, drop a bomb near the cruiser (will you deny the fatal consequences of a surface ship from a close gap?) As you did with sub (outback) and immediately all escort will end, and then diplomats will find out what and how. And it’s easy to hang in the air and instruct pilots in a separate group, it’s my opinion, it may not be right, but my experience of service and experience of service of other people suggests that this is very real and it would be so

                  2. the nerves of the anti-aircraft gunners can not stand - the plane will be knocked down, there will be a major scandal, so not far to the Third World
                  3. A close-up photo of a US Navy aircraft entering a ship will appear in all Soviet, European and American newspapers with the headlines:
                  US Navy VILANTLY ATTACKED THE SOVIET SHIP
                  ACT OF AGGRESSION IN RESPECT TO THE SOVIET UNION
                  U.S. Navy Pilots - Dumb Curved Rams
                  THE NEXT TIME THEY "UNCANCY" WILL DROP A BOMB ON "QUEEN ELIZABETH II"

                    However, Oleg, you perfectly understand that a lot of military incidents involving ships of the USSR Navy did not lead to war, and both ours and the Americans acted extremely harshly. In our case, FORCING to pop up the sub, it’s not much harder to drop a bomb with an amazed look near the side of the ship, but after that he will not be able to accompany. And the photo of the cruisers next to the US aug do you think in the UN meeting will be 100% proof ?. But the United States Navy pilot will find the perfect pilot with ease, put on a sight for sore eyes, doubt? And the nerves of the Soviet anti-aircraft gunners will withstand, for there were no orders from Moscow, here we are weaker in making decisions

    "... * on" Dzerzhinsky "- six. Instead of the aft group of the GK, an experimental air defense system M-2 was mounted ..."
    M-2 is a sea-based S-75 air defense system and it was far from being experimental (in 1960, this air defense system shot down an American U-2 spy plane), but it did not fit into the ship's armament as these missiles (the Americans called them in Vietnam - telegraph poles) were almost 11 m long, worked on three very aggressive and toxic components of liquid fuel (oxidizer, fuel and isopropyl nitrate), storage and refueling of which in the underdeck space is very fraught with serious consequences both for the ship itself and especially for personnel. Themselves imagine that the components of detection, guidance and coordinate systems of this complex, created on the basis of vacuum tubes, are also a rather cumbersome air defense system and could also fire in the "ground-to-surface" mode. At one time, in our press, they wrote about this cruiser: "Here on the roadstead there is the beauty and pride of our seas missile cruiser" Dzerzhinsky ", although we, air defense specialists, saw a certain sarcasm in this phrase. Therefore, an experiment using the S-75 Navy this experience and ended.
    The cruiser itself quickly became obsolete, was transferred to the category of training and was soon scrapped.

    The best way for Americans to hit the first night with heavy and medium air defense systems. It is unlikely that the cruiser Kutuzov, having received a pair of Talos and Terriers, will retain his vision and hearing, or even explode; the destroyers will be over immediately. artillery will not have time to react, and without radars in the dark you will not shoot much

Of the remaining 13, the Dzerzhinsky KRL, which directly took part in this event in the period from 1957 to 1958, was re-equipped according to the 70E project. The third turret of 152 mm guns was dismantled from it, 8 37-mm AU V-11 with a stern superstructure ... Instead of them, an experimental sample of the Volkhov air defense missile system was installed with a two-boom launcher, a cellar for 10 V-679 missiles, and the Corvette (C-75) control system to support the Kaktus and Razliv radars, i.e. The Russian squadron could, in addition to artillery weapons, oppose 10 missiles approximately similar to the American Talos, which also increased the firepower of our ships. This type of ships by that time was already obsolete, the development of fleets required ships of a different class. After the end of the Second World War, there was no need to protect their battleships from torpedo attacks from enemy destroyers, of course, there was no need to ensure the exit of their destroyers into a torpedo attack. The task of disrupting the enemy's sea communications also looked unrealistic - at times large artillery ships passed.

    So colorfully, Dr. Kaptsov fantasizes. As always poetic!

    It is as if the sharp taste of the Caribbean crisis from smart headquarters in the fleets had disappeared by the 69th year or there wasn’t such a crisis at all. It’s as if strategic submarine missile carriers under both flags do not go across the oceans, which can easily contribute to the heroic death of many more after such a dashing artduel.

    Why and were allowed cruisers with such good armament at a range of fire. Just watch each other.

    All some kind of comparison in a vacuum.

    Oleg, please try your pen on the 1986 alternate history of Libya. "Prairie Fire", "Eldorado Canyon" and more.

    It will be interesting to read. There were also aircraft carriers.

      A. This is an interesting topic.

      F-111 smashes the Libyan airfield with IL-76, which, according to the American command, was used by Gaddafi to supply terrorists and illegal gangs around the world

        Dissemble slightly. In addition to Tripoli, objects in Benghazi and Sirte were also hit. Among other things, the air defense system was suppressed. In addition, strikes were made on the ships of the Libyan Navy.

        And this was all done by the same "Aardvarks"?

    In reality, the Pr68bis cruisers had only two tasks: mine laying and fire assistance for the amphibious assault landing and their support on the shore. But missile cruisers pr 58 of the "Grozny" type, also a participant in this event, there were only 2 units, 2 in the Black Sea Fleet (Grozny, Golovko) and 2 in the Pacific Fleet (Fokin, Varyag), constantly two RRC pr 58 could not be on the BS, they alternated , as well as anti-ship missiles pr 1123 "Moscow" and "Leningrad". KRL pr 68bis were the most massive ships of that time with proven tactics of use and crews. The result of a combat clash could be assessed based on the ideological training of personnel, crew coherence and, finally, on the will of the high command of both countries on the priority of giving the order to start hostilities ... the advantage of an aircraft carrier in its aviation, I personally witnessed when 60 aircraft were lifted into the air from AB "America in 67 minutes, an unforgettable sight ... Whoever launched the first preemptive strike, then there was most likely a victory ... plus morale crews.

    The situation described in the article is almost repeated off the Syrian coast. The combat and striking power of the Russian squadron in comparison with the NATO ships is small. BUT, adversaries are unlikely to risk it in practice wink

      It makes no sense to align the USSR Ocean Atomic Missile Navy with the Russian coastal flotilla.
      In those years, any of our OPEsk outstripped the entire current Navy in terms of quality and numbers ... Apart from the show, nothing remained. If it were strength, Muammar Gaddafi would still be in power.

    Good article, big "+" for Oleg and respect for his work! good It was pleasant to read, interesting, much more than when for some reason he "got into" the aviation topic and started trolling our air defense! wink
    I will allow myself to add something:
    Quote: author
    There was a special version of Talos in a nuclear version - such a missile was supposed “Clear” the beach before landing in the third world war.

    not only, Oleg. The main idea of ​​the Talos nuclear submarine is to repel the massive attack of supersonic anti-ship missiles on the compound, such as, for example, the Kh-22. Otherwise, the Yankees then could not bring them down, with their insane speeds, especially in the case of a group all-aspect raid!
    Thank you for the article, well done! good

    Thanks to the author! The article is very interesting! Still, our Russian-Soviet sailors have always been heroes. Yes, and Colonel Gaddafi, too, was a guy not a miss. It is a pity that after the collapse of the USSR no one helped him. But they could, as then back in 1969 ...
