Scarpa Bay is the anchorage of the Royal Navy's main fleet on the British Islands.
It is located in the Orkney Islands to the north of Scotland, which is just at the hub of the German maritime transport line in and out of the North Sea, which is of great strategic significance.
Therefore, for any German Navy officer and soldier, this is their target, and for submarine soldiers, this is a tempting target.
However, like other impregnable fortresses, Scarpa Bay is heavily guarded, especially against possible submarine attacks.
Once, during World War I, the ub-116 submarine commanded by urmsman dived into Scarpa Bay in October 1918, but sank due to a mine, killing all the crew.
Since then, the German Navy has never made any plans for Scarpa Bay, and the British think it is unbreakable.
However, in World War II, the German Navy did it at sea.
On October 14, 39 in history, the u-47 submarine of the German Navy sank the British warship "Royal Oak" with a torpedo. At that time, Captain prien was the leader. The result of the sinking made captain prien famous.
Now, the history has undergone amazing changes. With the passage of chirek, the German Navy and air force are much stronger than in history. Now, they are attacking fiercely in Scarpa Bay, causing heavy losses to the British fleet.
However, there are still some missing fish.
For example, the Royal Oak now stays in a corner, silent, and the constant explosions around it seem to have nothing to do with it.
The Royal Oak is the No. 5 warship of the monarchy class battleship. This is the eighth British warship named after the Royal Oak, an oak tree in memory of King Charles II hiding parliamentary soldiers in the British civil war.
Like other warships, the Royal Oak was built at the naval base in port Devon in 1914, served in 1916, and participated in the battle of Jutland. It is also regarded as the sworn enemy of the German Navy.
After the first World War, the royal oak tree was modernized and relocated to the Mediterranean fleet. During the Spanish Civil War, the Royal Oak cruised off the Iberian Peninsula.
After the civil war, the Royal Oak returned to Scarpa Bay, where it temporarily served as a shore fort.
Because it's too old.
After many modifications, the armor protection is increased every time. However, the power system of the warship has not been modified. Now, the warship can drive to a speed of 20 knots at most.
At such a speed, it was impossible to catch up with the main warships. Therefore, the British Navy simply left the warship behind, mainly when shore guns were used and attacked at sea when needed.
When the bombing in the sky began, most of the officers and soldiers on the Royal Oak were on shore, and some had not even returned.
The captain, rear admiral mailer, was also the commander of the first battleship unit. When the bombing began, he ran frantically to the battleship from where he lived.
There are not many British 30000 ton warships. One can protect another!
How to protect?
Mailer knows himself very well. Originally, this warship is an old ship. It takes a lot of trouble to ignite. It's even more delusional to start fighting. Therefore, the best way to protect this warship is smoke screen!
So he called his men, lit several bonfires on the shore, rolled thick smoke, and flew into the sky. Coupled with the smoke of other explosive warships, the sky of the warship was wrapped up!
This is originally a corner, which is not easy to be paid attention to. Coupled with the smoke shielding, the dive bombers coming down from high in the air rarely take into account!
Major general Mailer's plan was quite correct. The Royal Oak avoided the attack of ju-290 and ju-88 bombers and the attack of current torpedo aircraft.
When the torpedo aircraft attacks, it is close to the sea. However, it will not always be on the sea. It almost always searches for targets in the air and finds the right ones before turning to low altitude. Standing high and looking far is basic common sense. A height of 1000 meters can bring the whole harbor into the eyes.
However, the smoke screen will block.
So the Royal Oak quietly hid in a corner, waiting for these terrible monsters to leave.
Britain will certainly fight back, but it will never be now. At this time, they simply have no ability to fight back against those terrible planes.
In particular, communications were interrupted.
The Germans must be playing tricks. They can't use either wired or wireless, which makes major general mailer uneasy. Now, the signal soldiers are driving to the nearby air force base for help. However, it will take at least three hours to arrive at a distance of nearly 200 kilometers.
three hours! By then, this place will have been bombed into ruins!
Major general mailer, worried, greeted his men, continued to light a bonfire and release smoke in the sky.
He didn't know that the Royal Oak had been found.
If you can't find it from the sky, it's not easy to find it from the sea if the torpedo is a little higher, but now it's a submarine.
The periscope is just beyond the sea, and the line of sight is almost close to the sea. Therefore, the Royal Oak under the smoke is easy to be found by the Periscope!
I left myself a big guy, good!
Prien's eyes kept looking at the warship and ordered his submarine to move on.
Double car, forward one!
After you find it, you want to occupy the attack position!
Submarines need torpedoes to attack each other. In this era, this weapon is still very primitive, and the attack position is very particular.
If it is fired from the front or back of the other party, it will miss the target 100%. It is best to attack from the side and aim at the side of the other party!
"Launch tubes 1 to 4, T2 torpedo, fixed depth of 9m, maximum speed." While the submarine was still moving, prien gave orders to load and set the depth.
At this time, he had judged the model of the other party, which was the British Royal Oak. This warship had a draft of eight meters, so it was enough to set a depth of nine meters!
The two most powerful special torpedoes have been used up. In his submarine, the rest are ordinary T2 electric torpedoes, which may not be powerful enough. Therefore, four torpedoes go together!
After thinking about it, he thought it was not enough, and then said, "the stern torpedo cabin is filled with the same torpedo."
The u-47 submarine has four launch tubes at the bow and one at the tail. The one at the tail is used to replenish the gun.
The torpedoes quickly loaded and set the depth. The u-47 submarine, with its huge hull, has come to the side of the other party.
"Left full rudder." Prien gave the last order before the attack.
The hull of the u-47 submarine is like a slow carp. It turns around and the bow is right against the side of the other party. It is 3000 meters away. It is the best attack position.
