Actually the relatively small U class subs could do 10 knots underwater at flank speed which is quite fast (of course no sub would maintain that speed submerged for more than a few minutes as it would quickly deplete their batteries). Their surface speed, however, was limited to a maximum of 12 knots which is considerably slower than anything that is going to be chasing them.

It overshadows the Atlantic because minus a few empty chairs here and there the Mediterranean was more or less a cakewalk (considering the Atlantic was the Brits's equivalent of Nazi Germany's Eastern Front), the Brits had near total control of what was going in and out of the Mediterranean almost from the get-go, all they had to do was inflict enough damage to get the point across, the rest of the Italian shipping would be mothballed and the few German U-boats that made it in = largely put to the sword with effective ASW (at the loss of 450k gross tonnage i.e nothing)

@@ToreDL87 Do some learning man. Your 'cakewalk' costed the Royal Navy 76 warships and 48 submarines (most of the Royal Navy's submarine losses took place in the Mediterranean) from June 1940 to September 1943, not to mention the merchant shipping. Until the arrival of the USAAF gave them air superiority in late 1942 they did not have near total control of anything, Malta was besieged and starved for more than two years and battle such as Operations Harpoon and Vigorous in June 1942 and Operation Pedestal in August 1942 show that Italian naval forces were far from 'mothballed', two years from the beginning of that campaign. The Brits had things so much in control in the Mediterranean that rather than sending supply convoys for their troops in North Africa to Egypt across the Mediterranean, they sent them on a much longer voyage around Africa because they considered the Mediterranean as too dangerous. You are just ignorant, that's all. Oh, and the comparison of the battle of the Atlantic to the Eastern Front is beyond ridiculous.

Destroyers can outmaneuver the sub quite easily and can sometimes outrun the torpedoes, and it's the deadliest enemy of submarines. Carriers were anti submarines since they have planes which were another deadly enemy of submarines cause submarines back then had to surface to charge batteries. Battleships were sometimes targets of the submarines but submarines cannot outrun the Battleships to catch up with them. Japanese submarines chose battleships over merchants back then but it didn't work well and even the Kaiten torpedo (kamikaze midget subs) only have one confirmed kill (the one that carried the Hiroshima A-Bomb).

@shepherdlavellen3301

5 жыл бұрын

Subs back then didn't have a lot of firepower, only limited amount of torpedoes were available for each patrol, reload took forever, aiming at targets was hard, torpedoes malfunction a lot. Using Deck gun to attack Destroyer was suicidal, AA turrets didn't work well against aircraft either. With limited firepower in order to do max damage they had to pick targets carefully, just like snipers chose officers over soldiers, subs chose merchants over battleships. But to the submariners it is never a pleasant scene to see sailors drowning but submarines with limited space and supply cannot afford to pick them up. Not sure about the Japanese, there was one German Captain who shot merchant crew to hide evidence, was executed by Germans for committing war crime
