Chapter 401: Avenging the Battle of Jutland
In the periscope, you can see the huge battleship suddenly bulged in the middle, and then, front and back, broke open!
War-Welfare has been built for more than 20 years. In these years, various technologies have been developing. For example, the performance of steel must be hard enough, but also have sufficient toughness.
The Titanic sinking was due to insufficient steel toughness. The manufacturing era of the War-Welfare was not a few years later than the Titanic.
Of course, as a warship, its strength must be far greater than that of a merchant ship, but because it is heavier, it has also suffered quite strongly when its central part is too.
In huge wind and waves, small boats can rise and fall along the waves and advance in the waves, while large boats, while under the entire hull, endure several waves at the same time. When the waves hit, the hull is prone to overall fracture.
Now, the blow brought by a heavy torpedo is to create a huge wave manually, and the pressure generated by this huge wave exceeds the range that the bottom of the warship can withstand.
The War-Welfare was destroyed by a super torpedo made by Germany.
Of course, it is not just the reason for this torpedo. According to the original design, there is no problem with such a torpedo destroying a 10,000-ton warship. It is not enough to destroy a 30,000-ton warship.
Before the torpedo destroyed the opponent, the Shi Zhan Shi had been attacked by a one-ton bomb and a torpedo thrown by a fighter. These attacks caused great damage to the middle of the Shi Zhan Shi Han Shi Han Shi Han Shi Han Shi Han Shi Han Shi Han Shi Han Shi Han Shi Han Shi Han Shi Han Shi Han Shi Han Shi Han Shi Han Shi was like the last straw that crushed the camel.
Of course, another reason is that warships in the World War I era always attached importance to armor protection, but did not pay attention to torpedo protection underwater. The bottom of them was the most vulnerable.
At this time, in Captain Prien's periscope, what you see is a pretty beautiful picture.
I saw the heavy warship emitting black smoke and struggling. Suddenly, a violent explosion occurred under it. The sea water churned, the warship's hull was trembling, and the middle part was slightly raised. Then, it broke forward and back and forth and became two halves!
The 30,000-ton warship was broken in half in front and back, and the sailors on it jumped down one after another. The warship was completely out of rescue. What an interesting picture.
The warships entered a large amount of water, and the sailors gave up the rescue, and at this moment, the second torpedo had arrived.
When he was shooting, Prien didn't know if one was enough, so he just put two of them on, rather than letting go of the other party. After all, this goal is too valuable!
The second torpedo was originally a fixed depth of ten meters and planned to explode at the bottom of the opponent. However, now, due to the sinking of the War War, it has come into direct contact with the second torpedo and explodes on the side!
A large hole was cracked in the stern part of the ship. This explosion further deepened its sinking. It sank quickly without hesitation. In less than a minute, it disappeared on the sea surface.
There was only one vortex, still rotating with it, as if it was nostalgic, or as if it was telling something.
In World War I, the British fleet paid a certain price to defeat the German fleet. The German navy was unable to protect its maritime route and eventually suffered a failure.
And this naval battle is to avenge the war of one battle! Revenge the battle of Jutland
Perhaps the British have forgotten that they just want to live a stable life as a winner and maintain the current peace, but any German with a conscience will deeply remember the shame of the war! This shame can only be washed away by fighting!
The War-Welfare horn was sunk.
In the port, large warships were sunk, and the subsequent FW190 torpedo aircraft began to attack the remaining medium-sized warships and even small warships.
There was thick smoke everywhere and fire everywhere. The navy of the British Empire, which had been arrogant in the whole world for hundreds of years, was moaning and trembling.
A fw190 flew over the sea, aimed at the target on his own route, and threw down a torpedo.
Its target is just an old V-class destroyer, the British veteran destroyer after World War I, and it is absolutely old.
There are no naval personnel on this destroyer, and they are moored in the port.
The torpedo swam through the water, and two minutes later, the destroyer slowly sank amid the explosion.
For the German Navy, this was the first time they showed their style, and it was also a very unhappy moment for them.
They have not found valuable goals, and those that make them moved have almost sunk.
There were more than 100 FW190 carrier-based aircraft flying in. They were looking for various targets at the port, and in the end they could only attack small targets of one or two thousand tons such as frigates and destroyers.
This is also a target that only torpedo aircraft arrived in advance, and if you arrive later, you only need to attack the civilian ship.
Once the war begins, civilian ships are also military targets, and these civilian ships will be requisitioned by the navy to transport materials. Therefore, now, take advantage of the opportunity to sink more ships, and sink more ships.
Especially those big-bellied tankers are the best target! The UK is also an island country, and their oil is also transported by the outside world. These tankers are the lifeline of the British economy.
Fires emerged from oil tankers, especially those that had not yet unloaded crude oil, which became even stronger.
There were even fewer targets left to Captain Prien, after all, his submarine was too slow to match the plane overhead.
The u-47 was sailing in a snorkel state, Prien kept searching for the target, once or twice, when he was about to take action, the torpedo machine above his head had already taken the lead.
Prien was a little itchy, this time, it was really unhappy!
Prien continued to wander around the port, hoping to discover something else.
The diesel engine at the tail made a rumble sound. Although there was a snorkel, the unique smell of diesel was still floating in the submarine. Prien calmed down and directed the submarine to continue sailing and sailing, and circled Scapa Bay for most of the time.
Just in a corner, Prien suddenly opened his eyes wide, and there was indeed something good!
This is a corner of the harbor. Due to the wind direction, the rolling smoke blocks the place. It is difficult to find from the sky. In the thick smoke, there is actually a huge battleship hidden!
