"Launch tubes 1 and 2, g7u torpedo, fixed depth of 10m, maximum speed." Prion shouted, and his voice reached the torpedo cabin in front of him through the intercom in the boat.
At this time, although the officers and men of the torpedo cabin could not see the target, they knew it must be a big target.
The greater the displacement of warships, the deeper the draft. For ordinary warships within 10000 tons, a fixed depth of 3 meters is enough. Now, if the fixed depth is 10 meters, it must be a big guy with a displacement of more than 30000 tons!
Moreover, special torpedoes are used!
The u-47 is equipped with dozens of torpedoes, but there are only two such g7u torpedoes. Generally speaking, only the most experienced submarines dare to carry such torpedoes.
This is a torpedo that has never been seen in history. G means the caliber is 533mm, 7 means the length is 7m, and u in the back means hydrogen peroxide.
In this era, most torpedoes are electric torpedoes, and the technology has developed mature, and this hydrogen peroxide torpedo is still a new thing.
The German torpedoes also come from the island countries. During his visit to the island countries, Chirac signed many projects, including the technology introduction of the island country's type 93 oxygen torpedoes.
Oxygen torpedo is a kind of thermal power torpedo. It only uses oxygen instead of air to fully burn the fuel. Such a torpedo has longer range, faster speed and great power.
Throughout World War II, only Japan used it for no other reason, because it was unstable.
Due to the relatively backward technical conditions and processing technology of the island countries, the safety and reliability of this torpedo are discounted. The ratio of enemy warships killed to their own warships killed by self explosion is 1.5:1!
Therefore, other countries are deterred. No submarine captain is willing to carry a serious accident probability.
However, at that time, the United States was deeply impressed by the suffering 93 torpedo and organized a special force to develop two similar oxidant (hydrogen peroxide) torpedoes: mk16 and mk17.
At least because the successful development time is approaching the end of the war, both torpedoes failed to serve in the end.
Shirek's crossing has brought various advantages of foresight. After the introduction of Japan's oxygen torpedo technology, Germany did not immediately copy it, but made great efforts to transform its reliability.
One of the key problems of the unreliability of Japanese torpedoes is that the collision fuse is too sensitive. After using the magnetic fuse, this problem has been solved.
After years of efforts, the current g7u torpedo, code T11, is mature and can be carried by submarines.
Even though the safety problem has been greatly improved, hydrogen peroxide is inherently unstable and cannot be carried by aircraft. Now submarines only carry a small amount of trial, such as the current u-47, which has only two such things.
After receiving the order, the torpedo soldiers at the bow of the boat immediately got busy.
Using a special wrench, twist the mechanical depth setting device of the torpedo. The sound of spring torsion came from it. Soon, it was set to a position of ten meters.
In the late World War II, torpedo had the means of adjusting the depth at any time, and the torpedo must be adjusted before entering the launcher.
Then, using the hanging chain and other devices, several torpedo hands with bare arms stuffed the torpedo into the front launch tube.
"Bang." After closing the launch tube, the torpedo shouted loudly, "the torpedo is loaded and the depth is set to be eight meters."
"Left rudder one." Prien continued to shout that if a torpedo is compared to a bullet, his submarine is a gun. Especially when launching this special torpedo, there is only one way of direct navigation, and he must aim.
"Open the launch tube."
The helmsman swung the rudder, the torpedo soldiers manually opened the launch tube, and then they heard the sound of turbulent sea water flowing in.
There are many ways to launch a torpedo, such as pushing it out with compressed air, or injecting water into the launch tube in advance to let the torpedo swim out by itself.
Now, it is the latter way.
"Target confirmation, weariness, two g7u torpedoes, direct flight, three seconds apart, launch!" Cried prien.
Launch!
The torpedo soldiers pressed the last button. As the command was conveyed, a terrible sound of water broke out in the interval between launch tubes 1 and 2.
Hydrogen peroxide and alcohol are mixed into the torpedo engine, burning violently, driving the propeller at the tail to rotate quickly and swim away quickly from the torpedo launch tube!
Soon, the torpedo accelerated to its maximum speed, terrible 46 knots!
General Electric torpedoes, Biao to 30 knots is the limit, and this new type of torpedo, it is easy to Biao to 46 knots high speed! And Japan's 93 style can even soar to 48 knots!
Hydrogen peroxide and alcohol burning, waste into the water, it is difficult to see any bubbles, two torpedoes, successively rushed to the huge warship in front.
At this time, the officers and men of the war weary were still trying their best to rescue the warship, closing the cabin at the bottom and starting the drainage pump to extract water. At this time, the ship body had begun to tilt slightly.
A 7-meter-long torpedo roared from 10 meters deep under the water, but nothing could be seen on the water!
The armor belts of warships are distributed on them. Therefore, the appropriate depth can make the torpedo avoid the single attack of armor. At the same time, the different fuzes also make the attack depth of the torpedo different.
When there is no magnetic fuse, the general depth setting is that the target draft is about one meter less, which will directly collide and explode.
With the magnetic fuse, it will be more than one meter higher than the draft. It will explode at the bottom of the ship and lift the ship from the middle by using the water pressure generated by the explosion wave. In this way, it will be broken directly!
Of course, this kind of torpedo is deep and needs to pass through the bottom of the ship, that is, one meter more than the draft.
If it is under normal circumstances, the submarine must dive and run away immediately after launching the torpedo. After all, once the submarine fires, the other party will know his existence and how far he can escape.
But now prien didn't hide. He wanted to see the end of the war weary in the periscope.
Weariness of war, under the standard displacement, the draft is 9.2m, and the full load draft is 10.35m. Now, looking at the other party like this, it should be about 9m, and the depth should be 10m. That's just right.
In almost a minute, the huge torpedo drilled under the weariness, just as captain prien guessed. The torpedo was almost one meter deep.
"Boom!" The magnetic fuse detonated the 400 kg charge of the torpedo and exploded violently together with the unburned hydrogen peroxide and alcohol.
The explosion pushed the surrounding sea water to form a huge water pressure, which pressed on the bottom of the weariness. The surging sea water hit the middle of the weariness. In this terrible impact, only a sound of steel distortion that softened people's teeth was heard.
Then the bottom of the weariness broke completely!
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
