Depth Charges Aren't Direct Contact Weapons!! They Use The "Water Hammer" Effect To Basically Slam The Submarine With The Very Thing That Helps Hide It!! Imagine A "Jackhammer" Of Water Against A Submarine Hull!!

[@colinsmith5222]

This, it can cause the sub to leak which forces it to the surface so it doesn’t sink with all hands. It is placing the sub with a no win situation surfacing is the one chance they might have to go down fighting

[@Stale_Kracker]

​@@colinsmith5222not always. Many cases the only thing that surfaced was oil and anything that was inside the sub that would have floated

[@DansBuddhaBodega]

Depth charges usually destroy subs because the cavitations would shake the ship, ripping apart the hull. The charges were set to detonate at a specific depth. The hedgehogs detonate upon contact.

[@teerat8451]

The depth charges were developed by the British Royal Navy during WWI which used a hydrostatic valve for preselecting the depth at which it would explode. Most of the time an explosion would force a sub to surface due to damages to instruments or joints from the shock wave alone.

[@DavidReinwand-i8x]

“You can’t park there is crazy”lol

[@TheRagratus]

If you look at Nic's comments..... One of the commentators Grandfather was the Quartermaster on the Borie.

[@ginnyjollykidd]

Depth charges explode under water. An explosion on land has everywhere to expand. Under water, water gives explosions nowhere to expand, so destructive waves go a long way. They threaten to cause subs to pinch, buckle, and fail, so to preserve ship and crew, the crew is forced to bring the ship to the water's surface.

[@robynbeach3198]

21:50 Lewis still grabbing his chest is great. Such a great reactor.

[@robertsistrunk6631]

[@spacetiger5076]

Depth charges create concussive waves in water. You drop explosives into the water, that water is gonna get pushed away from that explosion and hopefully hit the sub with a water hammer. Buckle the hull plates, pop leaks, damage components. There are a number of reasons a submarine would surface due to being battered by depth charges.

[@chrisjarvis2287]

Germany built 1,162 Subs during WWII.

[@UnknownWatcherx]

since you asked, a depth charge works by taking advantage of the fact that, sense water is denser than air the force of the explosion doesn't travel as far, but within its range the force is amplified. If a depth charge goes off near a sub, it drastically messes or destroyed its components. If they don't surface, there is a high chance they will sink and everyone will die. Even with the enemy nearby, it is still a better option to surface than stay under water. In some cases, that literally have no choice but to surface as the depth change wrecks the pressure equilibrium within the sub. I am sure there a people in this chat more knowledgeable than me on the subject, please add detail or corrections as need so L3WG has a better understanding. Thank you.

[@hazardousroo]

As I understand, the pressure wave from depth charges is not only effective for causing hull ruptures, but it can destroy sensitive or exposed components even if it doesn't buckle the hull. The propellers (screws) are particularly vulnerable to the explosions IIRC, and without those a sub is as good as dead.

[@larryjefferson7381]

"Farming the Germans for XP" with "one spawn point"... HILARIOUS!

There is a movie starring Robert Minchum. That is very similar to this. It's called "Enemy Below" it's a good World War 2 navy picture.

[@sheilabree1991]

Yeah America got an enigma machine from the U-Boat they stole .Remember that story, Lewis ? The USN towed the U-Boat while it was sinking all the way back to port. Today it's in a museum in Chicago.

[@BryanW-bp3le]

Enigma codes had mostly been broken already by Alan Turing at Bletchley Park UK at that point of the war. Not saying what those sailers did was pointless just adding context.

No they didn't steal it they just strategically moved it to another location😂😂

[@Anubis78250]

Water's resistance to compression leads to underwater explosions having huge and powerful shock waves. When a ship is on the surface it's subjected to only a small portion of the shock wave, but a submerged sub takes the full force of it with the water on the other side playing the part of the hard place. Leaving the sub in the middle as the most compressible object. Depth charges are simply large explosives rigged to go off at the typical depth of a sub. They do a good job of outright destroying subs, as well as causing them to surface because of damage, or to try to get away. If depth charges are going off, the best place to be is on the surface, and subs of this era were much faster on the surface where they actually spent most of their time.

[@lindsayhileman823]

I am not big on history but I will say this guy had my attention and made it so entertaining that I watched the entire video! Well done, I actually enjoyed this.

[@greggwilliamson]

A depth charge is set to explode at a certain depth or water pressure that corresponds to that depth. The deeper the sub is the closer the depth charge has to be for a kill. That is why a lot of U-Boats had to surface. Probably just close enough to split some seams. Not something easily patched from the inside, so surface and live.

[@shawnmcandrew6923]

depth charges are basically 55 gallon drums full of explosives. They havea fuse that is set to go off at a specific depth.

[@TheRagratus]

Lew, look up "Whack-a-Mole". That will TOTALLY explain the joke.

[@nbaer5050]

If you haven't seen "Greyhound" I highly recommend. It shows the Atlantic battle and how destroyers fought submarines while escorting troops across the Atlantic.

[@georgemetz7277]

3:17 I'm really curious about the English educational system. Alan Turing, a Brit, was instrumental in breaking Enigma yet Lew has no idea of what Enigma even is. Then goes on to ask if depth charges use an EMP, in WWII no less, even forgiving that an EMP would be useless underwater. wth

[@joehackney1376]

Midway through the 2nd WW we developed depth charges that exploded upon contact.

@@xo2quilt Yes, designed by British scientists lead by Millis Jefferis, not accepted too much by the British Navy as it did not make a loud enough bang, but embraced by the Americans.

@@joehackney1376 Very cool!! My dad served on a mine sweeper in WWII and my cousin was the Capitan of a couple of carriers post-Vietnam (he flew rescue helicopters in Vietnam). I love learning about the cool things people have invented throughout the years that have benefited the military. Military history is fascinating. Funny how loud was important in WWII and silent is preferred today. I can just imagine a sub using a powerful laser and opening a ship's hull from below and disappearing before the ship knew what happened.

[@ginnyjollykidd]

Enigma code was a code that was programmed into a typing machine with a key word. Each letter of the key word would translate a letter to a separate code alphabet. You could have 2 of the same letter of the alphabet next to each other in the coded message, but they would not be the same letter in the message because it would have been coded by a different alphabet code. Alan Turing and a band of cryptographers put an amazing amount of work to create a huge decoding machine, but every morning they had to scrap because a new code word was programmed into Enigma. What the downfall of the code was was two words that were the same words at the end of every German message: Heil Hitler. Were it not for that, Germans might have won WWII. There are some good movies about Enigma to watch. 4 I've found were: _Bletchly Park_ (the place where the cryptographers secretly worked on Enigma) _Enigma_ _The Imitation Game_ _Code Enigma_ The first was a documentary The other three are Hollywood movies and thus stylized a bit. Still, the history of Enigma is worth reading about.

Because water doesn't compress, the explosion results in a devastating shockwave, essentially making the submarine hull endure far more water pressure than it was designed to.

[@jamesmcclain5005]

😂😂😂 the Navy had a battle with a UFO here in Long Beach California. The battle lasted for between a half hour and an hour. It made the newspaper, and has been brushed away over the years.

[@jerthon1]

I read about that, They thought it was a Japanese Air raid but Turned out to be a weather balloon or something, people were shooting up flares and people were so on edge they thought the flares were other targets and so on, it took an hour and a half before someone Higher up realized wait no one is firing back then called the ceasefire it was one of the funniest reports I read. they were so embarrassed they tried to cover it up but that just lead to wild speculation.

[@jamesmcclain5005]

@jerthon1 After seeing a UFO do a decent to earth from the space shuttle, I said that the last view we will get from space. So I used to not believe that these craft were real, but what is going on is all this "fusion" research is just high energy weapons to shoot these craft down. Think about it, how long would it take to shoot down a balloon? 🤔 My guess is a half an hour? You don't understand the military, they don't shoot, that is a last resort. We had Chinese spy balloons fly across the entire country before they decided to shoot the next one down. For something to withstand the fire power of the Navy for a half an hour, isn't a balloon!

The ships would use bilge pumps to get water out of the lower levels, think of a pump to get water out of a pool but much stronger and faster. The ships would have drain ports above the water line, some were for the water from the actual deck of ship, but others were for the water to exit the lower levels.

Submarine pressure hulls are among the strongest structures man has ever devised; every 10m (33ft) of depth adds an additional 1 bar (~15psi) to the hull _in all directions..._ and WWII U-boats (depending on model) could go as deep as 200-250 or so meters before being in severe danger (if not certainty) of being crushed. There are a lot of safety margins added in, so most vessels never get close to that so-called "crush depth" if they have any choice in the matter; the figure is an estimate, based on known material strength, but if you value your life, and the lives of those aboard the vessel, you don't test it! The billionaire designer of the submersible that gave tours of the _HMS Titanic_ scoffed at those safety limits, and look where it got him...

Being at sea is the safest place to be during a hurricane. If you were on a ship, in the Navy, and your ship was seaworthy you were order out to sea. they were fun. Tested out your sea legs real good. The deck Passageways were fixed with nonskid and also up on the wall a few feet, so when it did some 45*to 50* rolls you had a foot on deck and the other in the bulkhead. (wall) and just keep walking. The ship I was on, in the Atlantic, in a hurricane, food was PBT sandwiches for 4 days for the ship was rolling so bad the cooks could not cook anything. That was on a DEG what are now FUG's.
