I know its very morbid but I find the early ww2 and interwar period so fascinating, because technology we knew was getting used but wasnt quite there yet, so you had to be really crafty to use it. Same with dreadnought era Battleships. Yeah fully rotating turrets are superior but mixing the utility of turrets with the satisfaction of a good old broadside just hits the spot.

I think the 1890's was about the last time a military was physically capable of keeping up with technology. Once 1900 came and went, no one had any idea what they were doing and if you accidentally did something right it was obsolete within 5 years. Which is a longwinded way of saying that the World Wars and Interwar Period produced some of the most nonsensical killing machines ever devised.

Johnny Walker had separate hunter/killer units composed of destroyers that were there specifically to engage U-Boats. Convoy escorts were meant to escort ships, not to engage U-boats but to drrive them off. Sinking submarines was mission #2 (picking up survuivors was #3 or less). Walker put faster, more powerfful groups of Destroyers to work specifically hunting the enemy.

The target would have to be deep, so you have time to get away before the charges went off. Shallow settings cold go off under you or too close to the propellers. The attacking ship wold loose contact as the prop noise would blank out the return. Thaks one reason modern ASW ships, adn subs, have towed array systems.

​@@frosty3693old subs were so damn slow underwater that it really wasn't easy for them to "get away"

"Why don't you just throw the depth charge off the bow as a mortar?" Johnnie Walker: :O

The time issue solved by the (above) ahead throwing weapons wasn't the 'loss of contact' per se, it was the system of using depth charges. To depth charge a sub a warship used to have to sail along it's course and drop the DCs beyond it so they'd sink and the sub would hopefully sail into the exploding pattern. The deeper the sub, the longer the DCs would take to sink to that depth. This is why in the old films you see the sub capt. order a big course correction as the ship passed over. The other part of the attack system, asdic, was shown above. ASDIC was a fixed beam* aimed at an angle forwards & down and as the ship passed over the sub they'd lose contact. This is when the sub would jink. *As the war progressed newer asdic sets would appear with changable beams, etc. But it was the asdic loss of contact & the period it took for the DCs to descend.

El Juanito Caminante Great Scotch, No rules, only depth charges.

As a point, we always had the hedgehog in use.. they just didnt realise its worth until later. Many captains tried to have them removed and on inspections it was common to find them unmaintained. This is from captains logs at the time available for anyone to read up on fyi.

I have my doubts about the other DD being entirely stationary. It would take a lot of time to get those turbines spinning and the ship up to any sort of speed afterwards. Especially if this failed, it would be a vulnerable target for the submarine. The sub might bot be stationary either butbiust running at very low RPM to stay hidden. But if its getting pinfed, they'd know. Besides the sub would be using diesel or electric at a lower tonnage, much easier to get up to speed than 1000 ton DD using oil fired steam boilers and turbines. I haven't found much sources going in deoth about this except a short wikipedia artlce with similar descriptions as this video and it only cites to books but no specific in line citations. Anyways, IDK how accurate all this is. To me it would make more sense for the other DDs to just move slower rather than completely stopping.

I think the description is simplified. The actual technique was very complicated. The overall concept is correct. One scanning and one attacking

Freaking legendary badassery of a name. Those WW2 destroyers we're really something else

The idea of being inside a submarine getting hit with bombs is terrifying.

You can understand Johnny Walker and make this system a creeping walker.

@clemsondriver9214

I played "Destroyer: The U-Boat Hunter" and came up with that tactic there too. I was always annoyed at losing contact and having to reacquire so i told one of my AI escort teammates to come nearby and keep tracking the enemy sub with their sonar so that it was a lot easier/faster to reacquire.

The Hedgehog was the downfall of Uboats. That system was a death sentence to any Uboat detected.

The second corvette which kept sonar contact was not stationary. That would have been suicidal.

Absolute genius. RIP sir!

This is me in War On The Sea.

I had als some loss of contacts after a night out with captain Jonny Walker.

Being a player of aces of the deep and watching allied tactics means I'm weirdly interested in a topic i shouldn't be interested of

where can I watch the full documentary ?

The hedgehog system did need careful use. One US ship had the knack. Most did not and stopped their mortars too far away missing the submarine.

Hedgehogs were so effective!!

Those poor guys...on both sides.

Can’t think of a scarier way to die than “drowning inside submarine that is hit with depth charge.”

I just can’t get my head around this: not knowing anything, I would guess that depth charges would be the more effective weapon because, unlike the hedgehog, it does not have to make physical contact. A depth charge could explode many feet away from a sub and take the sub out.

Wouldn't the U-Boot also depend on hearing, other than sonar alone though? There is no such thing as "creeping up" with rotor blades

So he invented the Johnny Walker whiskey 🥃 😅

How so, this 'loss of contact'? And how so 'Stationary', if the U-boot moves?

Poor boys. Under water. Out sonared

Legend has he came up with the idea after a heavy night of drinking scotch.

It would be better if the attack was called Whiskers

Hedgehogs are lovely though.

This is the approach I use in games involving submarines. I don't rush to depth charge them unless it's an emergency. I always make sure to achieve contact with at least 2 DD/DEs first. Then they can take turns dropping as well, increasing the intensity of ASW.
