Doogle Ticker Don't be an ass, he obviously wasn't saying other people are pussies for not being in a submarine. But you've got a lot better chance of survival if your surface ship is sunk vs. if your submarine is. Not to mention the potential for getting stuck or damaged without even receiving enemy fire. Read some of the horror stories of people who have survived sub disasters or were just forced to stay submerged for days at a time, I'll take a bullet over the torture of that.

and what is the difference between a submarine and a submersible? (im not a native speaker) they can both dive and fire torpedos, dont they?

Imagine just chilling in a boat then three torpedoes hit the boat

just one thing forgotten is that the destroyer may throw depth chargers at the sub and the sub being that close under the ship is in serious trouble if they decided to throw depth charges

Early in the War, the American torpedoes were unreliable and failures to detonate were common. Later torpedoes were corrected and reliable.

They should have put all their men on deck, after having armed them with gas-pipes and any other sort of junk, RAISE A BLACK, PIRATE FLAG and announce through a megafone, they'll board the destroyer. That would certainly scare the enemy off.

Naw, destroyers have deck guns, machine guns, and small arms (no not to paddle). British subs enter home port with that illegal pirate flag flying after a kill(s). They are rad, non-conformist, nut-jobs...that's what is needed to be a submariner. Woof.

Modern boats use sound and wire guidance for their torpedoes. Those were not available in WW2 and the MK 14 were not reliable at first. Any change in the angle on the bow or speed of target makes a difference between a hit or miss. These folks in the old boats were brave and had to know what they were doing. DBF . . . . .

when I was in, 50 years ago, the doctrine was "fire" was an actual command to launch the torpedo. (or fire the gun) All preparatory language was "prepare to shoot" etc, so as not to cause a mistake, even though all commands had to be repeated, in a tense situation shit happens. "Fire" was also a casualty. Ditto for surface ships in the US at the time. Respectfully submitted.

In Silent Hunter 2 you lock the target and fire. Amusing game. But being there probably was a tough job.

There's a lot that has to be taken into account and a lot of precise calculations. You only have so many torpedoes.

What a Great short of torpedo .

Very Nice 👍

The move down the thought is literally like a scene from Godzilla opening a monsters mouth and fires it’s bean into its throat but this time it’s ranged

incredible bravery

Doesn't the ship diving right below the destroyer open it up to depth charge attack?

It would be cool if they could create the opposite of a sub launched missile. A torpedo that fires from the bottom, sinks to a low depth then arcs back up under the belly of the targeted ship and blows it up that way.

I'd rather be on a War ship than a Sub, I don't care if the Ship got Torpedoed at least you got a chance of surviving, in a Submarine you got no where to go, and you might as well say it's your coffin Ha!!! :P] .v ..

Thanks Smithsonian for showing the ending result and not stopping the video there.

This is what a space battle would be like

Give us the full videos I already pay for this channel on tv

The torp hit the bow, and the sub dives beneath it, so why not depth charge the sub?

knowing when to flinch!

Lol the destroyer didn’t react firing back, instead it only moved towards submarine.

As long as we're destroying each other we're happy campers.

I would have got close before I fired my first torpedo and unless I calculated its range distance, I'm not going to fire in such rapid succession, maybe he had to be there but that's just my thinking

0:55 😂😂

So pretty much you hit then dip!😂

Incredible and double incredible!!🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Mind you, this was WWII technology and tactics. Modern torpedo targeting and guidance are far more accurate, but so is anti-submarine warfare. In modern submarine tactics a single shot, while in theory can be done within a few minutes, may more likely take hours to prepare (patience is not just a virtue when you don't want to be seen, it is a life-or-death necessity, and you have to maneuver slowly to guarantee both the hit and your survival) and an engagement may even take days in outmaneuvering your opponent.

I'm going to fire all my Torpedoes and make sure that I do it right every time I make a mistake if I have enough

What happens when they run out of torpedoes? Do they go home and pick up more?

Guys they buffed the torpedos and periscopes in the 17.6 update

I feel the same way playing battle ship

Wow that Cool 😍👍

من ينتصر في الحرب هو من يكتب التاريخ ويحكي قصص خياليه علي انها حقيقه ...

You know what they would say when then sink a ship? Wahooooo!!!

Similar tactics in the old movie;'Run Silent, Run Deep'.

The destroyer looked more like a fishing boat

Good video

Those shots were so close

They did a down the throat shot like this in the movie Run silent run deep.

You do not make a guess, my daughter's daycare had a family night with a high jar of jelly beans. I came closest to the correct number both years she was there by estimating not guessing. Hugh difference!

After you hit the ship you're going to go under it and you going to hear the ship break up as you pass below it

The only way you are almost guaranteed to sink a destroyer. What was left out was the turn 10 degress to avoid collision.
