Miracle of Atlantic
Many reservoirs are taken in various novels, verses and songs. It usually happens when the sea (or even the ocean) is called vast, then they mean that it is so wider that it is impossible to see his earthly outlines. Many perhaps and do not guess what a miracle that disaccounted by the shores is still there. This is Sargassovo Sea. How, you ask, this may be?
The fact is that its shores are evaporated with different temperatures and directions of the flow, and the water is not moving anywhere. There is a sea in the northwestern part of the Atlantic Ocean, covers an area to seven thousand square kilometers (depending on the time of year). Therefore, it would be better called this: a vast and wide Sargasso Sea.
Green Sargassy
The coast of the sea is also delineated by the border of a large green hazel cap. They are called Sargassami. There are a huge number there (scientists calculated that more than ten million tons). Because of them, water and got their name - Sargassovo Sea. These algae grow and multiply here, inhabiting the masses of organisms - insects, worms, small fish. Some believe that green swimmers grow at the bottom of the sea, and even then, without keeping in Ile, they float upstairs. However, it is difficult to imagine, since the depth here is six to seven kilometers.
The fact is that our vast Sargassovo Sea is the only one on earth the spawning site of eel. The life cycle of this fish lasts about nine years, it ends just here. Acne live in fresh reservoirs and are often found with us. It's amazing that, feeling my readiness and maturity, they move in incredible inner force, selflessly float along the rivers, overcome huge distances (it happens that whole meadows are crowned) and swim in Sargasso Sea. Just achieving it (and it can take it up to three months), acne go deep into depth, they are spawn there, and then die there. Flocks that came out of the cheeks are picked up by the waters of the flows, and then get into our rivers and lakes again, where the forces are growing and gaining.
Stories about Sargassovo Sea
Christopher Columbus himself at the time of great geographical discoveries described these places as dangerous and mysterious. Courts disappeared into the sea, sitting people. Perhaps the share of truth is there.
The ship could get confused in algae and tightly stop due to the lack of any course. Local worms could gradually destroy the wooden board, and salt water - to deprive hope for thirst for thirst. As a terrible place, this sea is told by true and fictional stories of navigators and writers from around the world.
Ecological situation
Previously, the water of Sargassov Sea was the most pure in the world. Due to the absence of pollution and plankton, it was possible to see the subject that was at a depth of sixty meters. However, now the situation has changed somewhat. Currently, there is a significant amount of fuel oil, oil and waste, sailing here from the Atlantic Ocean under the influence of currents. All this gives food to think about cleansing the natural miracle or to reduce the impact harmful to it.

Interpretation of dreamsIn the section on the question there is a "boundless sea", that is, the sea, which has no shores as the author asked ~ Fish ~ The best answer is Exists. This is Sargasso Sea, located in the Atlantic Ocean. It is remarkable in that it is almost completely covered with thickets of algae and its shores are the ocean water.
Sargassovo Sea is the area of \u200b\u200bthe anticyclonic cycle of water in the Atlantic Ocean, limited by the currents: in the West - Golfustrim, in the north - north-Atlantic, in the east - Canary, in the south - North Passat.
Located between 23-35 ° C. sh. and 30-68 ° z. d. Sea area 6-7 million km² (depends on the position of the flows). In the northwestern part - volcanic Bermuda. The water temperature on the surface is 18-23 ° in winter, 26-28 ° C in the summer. Salty 36.5-37. Most of the bottom is located in the North American hollow with depths of more than 6000 meters; Maximum depth - 6995 m.
Large clusters of floating brown algae - Sargassa, within the sea, its stock is estimated at 4-11 million tons. Their abundance is associated with the presence of surface currents in the Sargasso Sea.
Numerous and varied animals live, part of free-peeling (mackel, volatile fish, marine needle, crabs, sea turtles, etc.), part attached to algae (Actinia, Msanka, etc.). The water of Sargassov of the sea, once solely clean (transparency up to 60 m), is now very polluted by fuel oil.
The name comes from the Portuguese word Sargaso - "Bunch of grapes". Due to the characteristics of the circulation, the surface of the sea is almost 1 meter above the ocean level.
Although Sargassovo Sea is widely known as the sea without shores, it is even more interesting as the initial and final item of an unusual journey undertaken by the European Ugrine. Sargassovo Sea is an eel spawning place, whose life cycle is so striking that it was not really understood until the beginning of the 20th century. An adult eel usually lives in freshwater reservoirs of Europe, where it can remain for years, feeding, growing and creating a fat reserve.
Best sea
On August 1, 1942 on the map, lying in the navigator of the American ship "Gamble", a line launched his course through the Pacific Ocean from Santa Cruz islands to new hebrides. Other ships were noted on other maps: submarine "1-123" and "1-172" from the shores of Japan to Solomon Islands; Esmina "Tucker" escorting the "Nora Luchenbach" steamer with Fiji to Espirita Santo; Transportation "President Culigence", which was in the open sea and next in the direction of Espirita-Santo; Tanker "Bishopdale" coming out of the overloaded noumea harbor to go to Brisbane (Queensland). The lines on the maps gradually lengthened, bent, crawled along the abscissa and ordinate axes. Above extensive water space, where the paths of ships are sometimes intersect, and the monotonous flow of the same days is only occasionally violated by unexpected events, clouds were condensed.
Such a place was the Segonda Canal, stretching along the southern coast of Espiritu-Santo - the largest of the islands of the new hebrid, who since May became the United States Base. On Tuesday, August 3 "Gamble", "Breeze" and "Tracy" installed here a defensive field of 171 mines. It was supposed to keep enemy submarines away from the tempting goals appearing on the new anchor parking lot. "Signal Q" was sent to the ships - radio messages about the appearance of a new mine field. The signal "signals Q" was not bad if she worked, but the radio channels were so overwhelmed that these signals were sometimes late for a month, if not more.
Early in the morning on Wednesday, Tucker delivered Nura Luchenbach to the entrance to the Segonda Canal. Ships entered the canal and headed to the parking lot. After 9 minutes, the terrible explosion lifted the destroyer over the water. Three people died in place, three were dropped overboard explosive wave. When the smoke was dissipated, it became clear that the ship was sinking. The Treker commander decided that he was subjected to a torpedo attack; He did not receive a notice of a new mine field. The Captain "Nora Luchenbach" suspected that he got on a minefield, for an unknown reason not designated on the map. He was very concerned about the fate of his ship, but sent to help people rescue boats. However, he flatly refused to take a sinking ship into a tug. The little "YP-346" took such an attempt, but his ability was clearly not coincided with noble intentions, and the "Tucker" ended up with himself. For several hours, the destroyer drifted, after which she sank at a depth of 10 sages.
That morning "Breeze" - perhaps, it was his mine Skilled "Tucker" - carried out the usual patrol. At 11.15, the appearance of an unidentified aircraft in the sky forced all team members hastily to take places on combat schedule. After some time, it turned out that this is the fighter of the sea aviation, which should reset the message on the Breeze. The first attempt was unsuccessful. The pilot decided to make another goal. Flying the second time on the deck of "breeze", he did not calculate the height, sank too low and loudly collapsed into the water. From the trashman urgently lowered the rescue boat, and one of the officers dived behind Lieutenant Druri, who was unconscious. At that moment, no one else knew what an urgent message delivered a pilot, but soon it became known: his destroyer was injured in a new field. Without losing a minute, "Breeze" went to the place of tragedy. The little merger flew on 30 nodes through the channel, without even his cards. With "Treker" managed to remove 3 officers and 38 sailors.
The report on the death of Terker, which took place only because of the lack of information and bad connection, began his slow motion to Washington. NAKS Marine Minister got acquainted with him on November 21. By this time, another victim was brought by a mine field.
Military transport "President Kulidge" with weapons and reinforcement of troops in Guadalkanal approached Espiritu-Santo in the morning of October 25. The captain did not wait for Lotsmana, stating that the entrance to the channel does not feel safe. Entering the canal, he did not suspect that he got into a more dangerous atmosphere; In addition, cargo hatches and side ports were opened in violation of all rules on the vessel. From the shore he was transferred to a panic signal: "Stop immediately! You go to mines! " But it was too late. Two explosions that sounded one by one clearly proved that he was offered to wait for nothing. The vessel began to sink. Right under it turned out to be a submarine rock, on which it hung around an hour, being just a few hundred yards from the coast, after which it slipped into a deeper area and joined the bottom to "Terker".
Nothing was reported about the loss of the "Topher" until August 10, 1945 "for the considerations of national security." The newspaper declared the death of the "Kuljj" on December 12, 1942. After 9 days, "Newswood" published evidence of the eyewitness Ira Volcort, correspondent of one of the North American newspapers:
"The most surprising thing was that the overwhelming number of people on the steamer could not swim. They obediently descended through the networks hanging from sides, but when it came to the jump into the water, they fell into a stupor and could not open their fingers, despite the presence of all life vests. The officers after the soldiers went down on the networks and fell unfortunate to fingers to make them unwind. All this resembled a nightmare. People desperately clung to the net, not wanting to jump into the water and interfering to descend others. The officers disappeared the voices and beat people who lost their heads on the fingers ... But when the panic ended, it turned out that the number of victims is surprisingly small. Only two people died - the sailor Robert Reed and Army captain Evart. The latter went to the bag to make sure that no one was left there, and at that time the ship turned over. "
On August 28, the paths of two more ships intersect near the Guadalkanal. The signaller from the "Gamble" found five miles from the coast a pop-up submarine. The submarine plunged, and Gamble began hunting. For four o'clock, he was gone to the submarine, attacked her, pursued again ... In the end, the fragments and oil spots came to the surface and the oil spots, which found her end "1-123", which completed the difficult transition from Japan here. And on November 10, not far from San Cristobal, the Sautard, also noticed submarine. Similar tactics - attack, harassment, attack - worked again. After the last series of 9 deep bombs was gone, the Japanese submarine surfaced to immediately get under the fire of the deck gun. One hit turned out to be enough so that it fell to the bottom, now forever.
A little south of the noumea bay under the protection of minefields, laid down a little earlier than Minzaaga "Bungary", stood tankers and floating. Defensive mine fields had to keep enemy submarines away from this vital database of the fleet in New Caledonia. Since there was an urgent need to ensure the fleet bunkering, heading for Guadalkanal, Admiral Gormley, commander of the fleet in the south of the Pacific Ocean, sent Bishopdale to Australia. Even without coming out of the bay, the tanker was bloomed for a mine who did not sink him, but the departure was detained in Brisbane for a long time.
If we assume that the mine war began in a corlerse in 1941, and ended on August 14, 1945 in Japanese waters, where "B-29" dropped the last mines in parachutes, 44 thousand mines in 170 different districts were installed during this period. The Japanese installed about 51,400 min only in the western part of the Pacific Ocean. On numerous theaters of hostilities, the United Kingdom installed 263 thousand mines. If adding German, Italian and Soviet mines to this, information about the number of which is approximate, the total number of mines, applied during this period around the world, will be about half a million units. Nor on the same map they have never been applied.
In the covered curtain of the secrecy of Washington offices, secret cards were compiled, which caused the location of American minefields. In the same walls, marked on maps and enemy mine fields and fields established by allies, when they became known about their appearance. Moreover, they often arose in such places that can be found not on any map.
The Dutch mined the Suraba and Tanyong-Tanya in Batavia, setting four minefields in December 1941. In addition, mine fields appeared on the Palembang River, in the area of \u200b\u200bTuban Island and along the coast of Java. On January 3, 1945, the Dutch submarine put mines in the pride of the pride.
At the same time, British troops, defending Singapore, mined Pooul-Subar Laut and the eastern part of the Singapore Strait. In that region, the mine war was carried out particularly active. Sultan Showle was mined back in March 1941, and Selat Sincline - in the last days of confrontation.
In 1941, British mines appeared along the Malay coast, in early 1942 - at the islands of Andaman, Surabaya and Sumatra, which became the first Pacific mine-chapped operation of the Royal Air Force. Information about these mine-fields was of paramount importance for the American Navy. In the early days of the war, the US surface fleet was far from these areas, but the submarines appeared here often.
In New Caledonia, where Bishopdale appeared for mine, in Noumea Harbor and at approaches to it between February 1942 and August 1943 was established a total of 2061 mines in 33 fields. This was engaged in the ship "Bungary". It is there that the compounds of the American Navy acting in the southern part of the Pacific Ocean were moored between the operations at the Solomon Islands for recreation and repair. Considering shipping tensions in the area, the damage from minefields for their ships was minimal.
The offensive mine fields of the Japanese, created at the beginning of the war, were limited in size and numbers. They stretch out on Singapore to Darwin. After December 11, 1941, Mines were installed in the Philippines after December 11, 1941: "Yayama" - in the Surigao Strait, and "Izukushima" - in the San Bernardino Strait. Japanese defensive mine fields beyond the limits of imperial territorial waters were few. On one of the small minefields of the Aleutian Island of Pussy on August 18, 1943, the Esminets Ebner Reed was exploded. Before the appearance of Americans in the Caroline and Philippine Islands, only 200 Japanese mines were discovered in the sea.
In Japanese territorial waters, another picture was observed. Thousands of mines were installed on an extensive space from the strait of the laper in the north to the distant fortness in the south. As in the case of American defensive minefields, the effectiveness of this event was quite difficult to appreciate. Probably, they are responsible for the disappearance of several American submarines who patrolled in Japanese waters; But after the appearance of FM-Radarians on submarines, they began to pass mine fields without much difficulty. But for the period of war, six merchant ships were injured in their mines before the first victim appeared on the American minefield established by the trigger submarine. Japanese mines deprived Japanese shipping 21 vessel with a total tonnage of 67,500 tons - an impressive price for inept shipments and lack of information.
In the Atlantic, where the participation of Americans in the mine war was mainly in mining the coast of French Morocco, the British turned into full force. British miner barriers delivered their deadly load in Halifax and New Scotland, to Freetown and the West Coast of Africa. In order not to lick in the laggards, the German ship Doggerbank delivered mines to Cape Town and Agully. And the British mine fields went around the world, coming to Madagascar, Ceylon and Hong Kong. By the beginning of June 1943, the British were established only in offensive mineral fields in the enemy waters of 35 thousand minutes, and only 160 thousand units were used in various operations. Their losses were 320 overhead aircraft, three high-speed ship-mines, four submarines and four conventional minecraft. It seemed that mines were everywhere, with the same impatience of waiting for enemies and friends. It was not always possible to say for sure, in what mine - the ship was injured in his or someone else.
On July 5, 1942, the northern coast of Iceland was outstanding. The RQ-17 convoy, followed from Murmansk to Reykjavik, went through the Barents and the Norwegian seas under the cover of low clouds. Courts moved on the number and about their exact location could only guess. In 20 miles to the east of the Cape, the North Court entered the lane of the fog and almost immediately heard a strong explosion. He followed the second, third ... a panic began. Some ships slowed down and stopped, others increased the speed, trying to escape from unknown danger. Four American commercial vessels and one Russian quickly sank. They followed by the Escort ship "Niger". The Panaman's "Exterminator" and "Kapar", as well as the American steamer "Richard H. Lee" with difficulty retained to the port. The surviving crew members of the dead ships claimed that they were subjected to an unexpected artillery and torpedo attack. However, the captain of the steamer "Ameriken Press", which followed in the same convoy, argued that no submarine appeared nearby. And the captain of the "exterminator" did not doubt that his vessel was flooded by Ma. The convoy fell to the British mine field, designed to protect the Cape Nordsp, having entered one of the most tragic stories in the chronicle of the mine war.
The incident at Cape North Cape became a terrible tragedy. But was she random? In what conditions did mine team worked? It is unlikely that it can be argued that everything always walked out of the hands badly. Sometimes things were quite decent, although there was no reason for this. Bad, ill-conceived design of ships; lack of experienced personnel, as well as time for his learning; poor supply, no spare parts and capacity for current repairs; Distraction of ships to perform other works; lack of specialized bases; Tangled management organization and much more. Mine ships were small in size, but difficulties with them often had more than with cruisers and linkers. In order to only list all the problems, it would take a whole book. Several examples will help to understand what obstacles have encountered the crews of mine courts, as they overcame them on a long path to victory.
In stuffy, hot and crowded cabin, the "Tracy" commander introduced records to the ship's magazine. Walked August 1942. The ship was in the southern part of the Pacific Ocean, where the days were long, and the distance is infinite. Japanese cruisers chased behind him, she was pursued by submarines, bombed enemy aircraft. In June, the ship has passed planned repairs and did not suit the database or the supplied ship is already 42 days. The ammunition for deck guns were on the outcome, and the torpedoes ended long ago. The last entry in the ship journal said: "If we continue to perform the same duties as now, I will very soon become completely useless."
Although one critical situation was replaced by another, "Tracy" successfully performed his duties until the end of the war, like other ships of the mine fleet. There were days when it was difficult to live to dawn, and the ship's transition from one pier to another seemed a long flight.
At the very beginning of 1942, a dozen of small ships came out of San Diego. They had a long and fraught with countless dangers in the southern part of the Pacific Ocean. Mine travelers came out of the construction just sent to war. The most experienced sailors from the group - 3 officers and 24 sailors - floated on their ships 12 days after their commissioning. Part of the travelers was accepted only three days before going to the campaign. Some sailors first came to the sea, because short transitions around the bay or abroad can be considered serious experience.
Trawers came out into the sea, having a stock of fresh meat for six days and fresh water for a week. After 22 days, spending three days in the Parla to perform urgent repairs, they reached the destination. During the transition in a small convoy, forty times, breakdowns happened, seven times one ship had to take another tug, in order to keep up with the group. Machines were falling apart; Compressors ordered to live long; Pipes for which fuel was served, flowed; The pumps were denied, and the sailors exhausted by marine disease continued to fulfill their duties. And they brought their ships to the destination! And in the report compiled after this hello travel, five words appeared: "Personal composition got the necessary experience."
Sailors with "Pilot" quickly realized that if they want to survive, should become desperate bravest. "Pailot" crossed the Atlantic and came to Casablanca, and then returned to Norfolk before the ship turned four months. On the day, when he became a month older, Paylot came to Casablanca, and on the way, the entire crew of the torpedo French tanker "Lot" was saved: one cat, five officers and 106 sailors. As part of an escort group, accompanied by a convoy, Pylotot made a second transition through the Atlantic, ended on July 24. Next month, he went to the Mediterranean and returned to Norfolk after 10 months, visiting Algerian, Salerno, Naples, Tunisia and Oran. The little ship was trailing under the enemy's fire, hit the Messerschmit-109, hit the fire by the enemy coastal battery near Rome, saved the surviving sailors with the "YMS-30" and "LST-422" and lost one person when a collision with "Samuel Esh" In the area of \u200b\u200bNaples. Then during the year "Paylot" remained in Chesapeake Gulf: the cadets of the mine school were trained on it. In June 1945, he was sent to the war in the Pacific Ocean, which ended when the ship was in San Pedro. He got to Okinawa, although along the way almost died, Having in turn in two Typhoon. The war has long over long, but "Pailot" continued to work. Thanksgiving, he met on the way to Taiwan, where it was necessary to train mines.
By the time, "YMS-76" hit the Pacific Ocean, there was no longer there, in any case he did not find anyone. War for "YMS-76" began on June 4, 1942 in South Atlantic. Together with trashrs, "birds" "Dyatloma" and "hemp", they settled very well in Brazilian ports Bagia, Recife, Rio and Belem. The weather here was excellent, women passionate, the need to prejust mines or the implementation of escort functions arose so rarely, that the steering time periodically forgot, how to conduct a ship in a straight line. Some time "YMS-76" was assigned to the military-air base in Maceio and was engaged in towing training targets for bombers. There he gained wide fame as the largest American warship that came to the port. How! Still, it was 136 feet from the nose to the stern! Sailors even sheltered the 10-year-old Syrota Fernando. The boy turned out to be so grateful for completely new American military boots donated to him marineros.that I found it necessary to make a return gift and presented to my guardians. Local delicacy - fried ants.
After three years of such a paradise life, the trawls based in Brazilian ports were sent to Norfolk for the production of current repairs and redeployment to the Pacific Theater of Military Action. But without shells. Hessed transition from Recife to Norfolk and Panama turned out to be an unbearable test for "YMS-76". A day after the exit to the open sea, his car was emptied the last sigh, after which the ship with great difficulty returned to Balboa to wait for spare parts, urgently sent from the United States. There were days, weeks ... So urgently necessary spare parts ended up in Hawaii. The endless wait began again. The next part of the spare parts disappeared without a trace in New Orleans. The days replaced each other ... The war has already ended, and "YMS-76" was still waiting in Balboa spare parts. Surprisingly, but in the end they arrived. It happened in December, and the next day after Christmas "YMS-76" came out of Balboa and took the course to San Pedro, where he arrived in 1946. From there, he went further to the west with potato boxes on the deck instead of shells for 3-inch guns. Fortunately, by that time no one was shooting.
Haste and poor-quality preparation of the float service, poorly organized maintenance of the fleet and the lack of spare parts, of course, played their negative role. But if there was a special spirit - "know-how", which united the ship, mechanisms, guns and crew into a single, organized, acting combat unit, he always performed the task set before him. On "DM" and "DMS", converted from old destroyers, in many years of swimming was accumulated by enormous experience, certain provisions and rules were formed, peculiar instructions, guidelines for the action for young. The young and inexperienced officer who came to the old "DMS" could always "open a book" and find a tested tested in it, a proven advice for any occasion. The fact that this system is working, vigorously noticed the young lieutenant Hermann Vocus, later attended to completely transfer it to the Mutlier "Cain Mutini". However, on new minecraft, conceived and designed specifically for this purpose, the tests taken into operation and sent to fight one of the theaters of hostilities earlier than the paint dried on them, the young officer did not have the opportunity to receive information that could be Analyze and understand what the ship lives.
The training guide to the trawling mines, which theoretically had to exist on each ship, was released only in 1944. Webly Tom gave a detailed description of the technical aspects of mining min, but almost did not affect tactics. Only after the end of the war there were more complete teaching aids.
"Gamble", "Breeze" and "Tracy" installed mines in the Segond channel in the distant August 1942. Other ships brought their deadly load into other seas. Thus, a planned plan for a coordinated strategic mine attack on Japan, the purpose of which was 7 million tons of cargo necessary for the survival of the island state. It was a very difficult operation. After all, it was not enough to stick the pin to the selected place on the map and order: "Reset them here!" The first thing mines should have been delivered to special warehouses first in Hawaii, and later in Australia, India, China and the liberated Pacific Islands. Not to mention that, first of all, it is necessary to produce mines, train personnel and build warehouses. And everywhere the most important factor was the time, and the new thing is always so hard to start ...
Six days after the installation of mines, Espirita-Santo "Tracy" was already 500 miles to the northeast of Solomon Islands. Marines, who fought on Guadalcanal for 48 bloody hours, have not previously convinced the Japanese, which is firmly intend to stay there. That day the battle was especially stubborn, and for the winners the future was very uncertain. At the beginning of the second day, the campaign at the Solomon Islands, the connection of Japanese cruisers proceeded by the Isle of Savo. After a torpedo attack and a fierce shootout, "Astoria", "Queens", "Vinsens" and "Canberra" went to the bottom. On the same day, a few later, the Americans took their strength from Guadalkanal, temporarily leaving him to the Japanese. Before the selection of "Tracy", 84 mines were installed in the passage of Maramaçike along the eastern shore of Malait Island. The war on the Solomon Islands was far from completion, and the ships were required to return. In the event that the Japanese fleet choices the passage of Maramaasayk, he was not too pleasant surprise from the "Tracy".
