In the previous era, submarines did not stay underwater all year round. They sailed on the water most of the time. They would attack only after they found the target.
Therefore, submarines are not adapted to the structure of elongated water droplets under the water. Most of them are the same structure as surface ships, which is suitable for navigation on the water surface.
They are also naturally equipped with powerful deck guns.
After all, torpedoes are so precious that many captains don't want to waste them and keep them at a critical time.
In the early stage of the Atlantic battlefield, German submarines would warn ships, float up after the crew left the ship and attack with deck guns. If the other side is armed, the submarine will use torpedoes to hurt it, and then use artillery to clean up the mess.
During this period, their deck guns were all large caliber, mostly 88mm and 105mm.
The German Navy has made many achievements by using deck guns. In addition to sinking millions of tons of merchant ships, it has also made other achievements.
For example, the u-242 even shelled a Soviet aircraft with an 88mm deck, and the u-134 also shelled an airship of the US Coast Guard with an 88mm deck.
"U-130" destroyed the refinery and warehouse in croso with 105mm deck artillery in the Caribbean“ The "u-711" destroyed the Soviet "prafuchi" radar station and "Prague Bonn tsga" radar station with 88mm deck artillery.
However, with the continuous increase of the Allied anti submarine forces, the German submarine forces are often threatened. For them, as long as they are found, they mean to be destroyed. Therefore, in the later stage, the German submarine forces almost lost the opportunity to operate the deck guns. Accordingly, they cancelled the deck guns, which are no longer used.
At present, Germany has not faced this threat. From the perspective of future generations, it would be quite funny and exaggerated to install deck guns on submarines, but when you think about it, it is the inevitable choice of the German Navy.
You know, only nuclear submarines can attack the Arctic route. When there is only one nuclear submarine, it can not repeatedly cross the Arctic and return to its own port for supply. One valuable torpedo will consume one.
Then, it is a good choice to use torpedoes to attack key targets and deck guns to attack secondary targets.
On the other hand, the task of the deck gun has changed. It is mainly used for air defense.
Fighting submarines and aircraft is definitely a way to kill themselves. The advantage of submarines is concealment. However, in case of accidents, such as problems in the reactor of nuclear submarines and failures in the oxygen production system, which have to surface, there must be air defense means?
Therefore, its deck gun is not a large 88mm or 105mm deck gun. It is not easy for this large gun to hide under the silencing tile of the submarine.
It is equipped with a rapid fire 20mm boforth gun, which can be used for both air and sea. It plays a golden role in German military equipment. For example, in addition to its own air defense anti-aircraft gun, it has also been widely improved into chariot gun, aviation gun and so on.
Now, on the submarine, it is also cleverly hidden in front of the command tower.
Another reason for this is that almost all submarines in this era have a double shell layout.
Inside is a pressure shell, which is used to bear the huge pressure of seawater. The inside of the pressure shell is the working environment of personnel. If it is a single shell structure, the pressure shell is also a shell.
The structure of the double shell is different. Outside the pressure shell, there is a non pressure shell with a distance of more than one meter in the middle. It is filled with seawater. At the same time, various external equipment can also be deployed inside. The advantage of this is to greatly increase the anti Strike ability of the submarine.
For example, in later typhoons, there is more than two meters of sea water between the two shells. When the other torpedo comes and explodes outside, it can only damage the non pressure shell outside, which is almost invalid for the pressure shell inside.
At the same time, it is also convenient for activities in such areas as the Arctic. In case of ice floes, you can carry them down hard, and even break the ice directly in the Arctic Ocean at the critical time.
With Otto's order, the three sailors led by the second duty officer of the submarine stepped on the wet deck and came to the front of the deck gun.
Two people quickly turned up the deck gun. The other two were responsible for opening the watertight shell box on the other side to complete the loading task. Otto looked at them and shouted, "open the protective cover!"
In World War II, when German submarine soldiers used deck guns, some serious accidents occurred, that is, blasting, which was completely caused by negligence.
The deck gun should sail underwater with the submarine. Even if it is sealed again, water will enter, and the sea water is corrosive. Therefore, the muzzle of the deck gun is usually covered with a protective cover to seal. It is opened again when it is used, but the sailors always forget when operating!
Reminded by Otto, the second duty officer found that he had made a serious mistake. He hurried forward and took off the cover on the muzzle, and then everything was ready.
Fire!
"Bang, bang!" The 20mm deck gun is absolutely not powerful enough. It's like taking a pistol against a tank against a cargo ship of tens of thousands of tons.
If it was a warship, it would probably sink it by firing a lot of guns, but now all in front of it are cargo ships.
"Boom!" The armour piercing incendiary bomb drilled into the belly of the incoming ship and immediately burst a big hole. The hull of the cargo ship could not bear such an impact. Immediately, it broke a hole and the sea water gurgled in.
All right, next one!
Almost every cargo ship suffered only three shells, and the cargo ship was opened a big hole and slowly sank.
"Double car, back at full speed!" Suddenly Otto shouted.
The two propellers at the tail immediately rotated at high speed and pulled the 6000 ton hull back. Just when they had just pulled out for hundreds of meters, the cargo ship in front of them that had just been beaten exploded violently.
"Boom!" The weapons carried inside had a violent explosion. On the sea, with it as the center, within a radius of hundreds of meters, all were terrible flames!
If the submarine had not retreated just now, I'm afraid it would have been damaged by the falling fragments of the explosion at this time. Everyone was relieved.
Captain Otto's reaction was really too rapid.
"Look, what's that?" Cried a lookout.
In the explosion, the cargo ship was torn to pieces. The goods it transported were scattered on the sea. A large cylindrical thing floated in the distance. It looked very like the equipment of an oil refinery?
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
