[@Charlesputnam-bn9zy]

The Japanese Imperial Navy couldn't believe their eyes ! Having successfully lured admiral Halsey into pursuing IJN plane-less carriers, the Japanese battleships thought they had The Leyte bridgehead set for slaughter (making up for their missed opportunity at Guadalcanal after their Savo victory) But those insolent little tin cans played the spoilsports with their tiny torpedoes and puny popguns ! In 1944, the IJN carriers were depleted of planes and even more of pilots, and had begun to resort to kamikazes. But they still had their battleships & they turned them into their mastercards above the carriers. But Halsey was obsessed with the carriers (although a US sub had crippled 2 IJN carriers before the battle) and underestimated the IJN battleships. The IJN came to a hairbreadth of victory were it not for those tin cans and their escort carriers.

[@gregorylumban-gaol3889]

Charles putnam1982 Admiral Kurita made the mistake of giving the “General Attack” order after mistaking Taffy 3 for Halsey’s 3rd Fleet carrier group. Poor communication and recon also resulted in believing Ozawa’s decoy fleet didn’t lure Halsey away. A lot of important battles could’ve been very different if the Japanese Admirals had made a few decisions. -Battle off Samar, Admiral Takeo Kurita could’ve annihilated Taffy 3 if he had pressed the attack and kept his ships in formation. -Battle of Midway, Vice Admiral Chuichi Nagumo should’ve prioritized the American carriers first. His indecision costed him. -Battle of Savo Island, Vice Admiral Gunichi Mikawa should’ve proceeded to bombard the Marines and their supplies on Guadalcanal. He also became famous for retreating when he had the chance to strike a decisive blow. Even Yamamoto made mistakes. He should’ve had a more carrier-minded Admiral in charge of the Carriers at Midway like Jisaburo Ozawa instead of Nagumo. Also the Aleutian Invasion was completely useless. Having the Ryujo, Jun’yo, with the Hosho and Zuiho carrying only Fighters to protect the Fleet Carriers of the 1st Carrier Division could’ve really helped in their defense. He trusted Nagumo too much. Probably should’ve listened to Rear Admiral Tamon Yamaguchi more. Just having Kurita’s Cruiser Division and Vice Admiral Shiro Takasu’s 2nd Battleship Division from the Aleutian Fleet move ahead of the main fleet to bombard Midway would’ve drawn out Nimitz’s carriers easier. While Nimitz sends his bombers to deal with the bombardment fleet, Nagumo’s bombers are at the ready to attack his carriers once spotted. Should’ve, could’ve, would’ve, didn’t. One has to wonder what would’ve happened if the Japanese leadership hadn’t fallen into the control of the Army.

[@TwoPlusTwoEqualsFive32]

Not really that complex. Most of the maths is done by the TDC. You need to identify the ship to find its length, then count the seconds it takes from bow to stern, divide the length by the seconds gives you m/s, times it by 2 to get knots. Distance was calculated in different ways but essentially involved the mast height of the ship, some did it nearly automatically while some used a more manual chart comparing mast height to centiradians in the scope. Then angle to bow is calculate either by eye or by plotting the ships heading and position compared to your position.

I’m not a historian, however I feel it was a bit of a stretch for u boat captains to mock warships over a radio, and jeopardize their location. Also, u boats targeting a warship just seemed wasteful. Their torpedos are limited, and worth way more in attacking big cargo ships, than agile warships with equipment. Overall, I think the writing besides that was great, especially the details during the engagements.

@Nick Belane Remembering that Radar was in it's infancy during the war years - at the start very few ships actually had a workable set let alone one that could tell the difference between air or surface contacts (as for the weather conditions at the time you'd be lucky to see anything) and that ran towards the 60's / 70's stuff as well! There are and were of course always those operators (in all Navies) whose share of "Luck" and expertise seemed to be greater than others. but even they were at times not getting much. One of the initial problems was the wave length of the bursts of power without getting too complicated with air radar mostly being in the metric size and the surface being 3 to 10 centimetric - The shorter wave length had the higher deffinition but also the shorter range plus of course the sets at the time were ALL valve sets - transistors etc just hadn't been invented! So the short answer to your question is probably NO! But possible, maybe, if you are in Holywood and trying to make a film.

Hard to believe that all the Torpedo misses where shot at Greyhound were from a long distance. With all the close scenes you would think the U Boats would shot a few from closer distances. Maybe they would sink themselves from the repercussions. Wish I could ask my dad who spent two years on a Destroyer in the Atlantic during WWII. He also was on a PT Boat in the Pacific for almost two years and in the Occupation of Japan for six months. The only bad thing I can remember him talking about was the mass graves of the Okinawan people. Hard to believe that many experienced U Boat Crews couldn't have hit one torpedo into Greyhound. Happy my dad made it through 4 years of WWII.

[@henderson023]

The merchant ships and troop transports were bigger and slower, and less likely to be able to maneuver out of harm's way. The escort destroyers, on the other hand, were capable fighting ships; take out one of the escorts, and the others will find the offending U-boat come hell or high water, and sink it. Choosing to sink targets of opportunity rather than taking the enemy head-on was conducive to long life for a U-boat captain and crew. The taunting over the radio channels was a bit much, but overall this particular wolfpack had everything correct until the last couple of days.

[@rrfields65]

They hunted in wolfpacks... and they would 1st set up the Destroyers for the kills ! taking out of the escort screens meant that the Uboats would have all the time needed to sink the entire convoys while they were in the kill zone without any aircover depth charge for 5 days !

Submarine movies/submarine depth charge attacks during WWII are tough to portray correctly as there are many technical/historic issues to get right. SONAR performance is very degraded in rough seas and these single "ash can" type depth charges were largely ineffective. The "tide did not turn" until the use of "hedgehog" type depth charges came into use. The hedgehog depth charge did not go off unless it hit the target. This allowed SONAR to continue to be used. The hedgehog also had a much wider spread. The Hedgehog entered service in 1942. Carrying a 16 kg (35 lb) Torpex charge, each mortar projectile had a diameter of 18 cm (7.1 in) and weighed about 29.5 kg (65 lb). The spigots were angled so the projectiles would land in a circular pattern with a diameter of 40 m (130 ft), about 180 m (590 ft) ahead of the ship's position. The projectiles would then sink at about 7 m/s (23 ft/s).[1] They would reach a submerged U-boat, for example at 200 ft (61 m) in under 9 seconds.

[@dearthworm]

What's happening at 2:25 when the hydrophone operator says, "....OVERREVVING SCREWS! HE'S TRYING TO SUBURBUR(?) US!' ? What tactic is the sub trying to employ. Is he trying to use the sorta blind spot under the ship and it's inability to maneuver on a dime to get a sudden burst of speed? And how did the ship arrive over the sub when they had turned in the opposite direction ( 1:33) and were heading away from it.

[@nerd1000ify]

The ship's sonar can't see the Uboat once it is within minimum range, so at this point the Uboat captain tries to dodge the attack by using full power to move away from the expected location of the ship's depth charge drop. As the ship is 'blind' at this point they can't see the direction of the evasive maneuver and correct before dropping. This tactic was actually very effective, so most depth charge attacks failed to harm the submarine (though the crew no doubt got a fright from the 'close call'). The Allies ultimately devised a countermeasure: The 'hedgehog' mortar, which launched a spread of small contact fuzed bombs ahead of the ship, allowing attacks to be made while the Uboat was still visible on sonar. This noticeably increased the success rate of escorts attacking Uboats.

[@marekhilton5695]

So I think if you listen to the bearings they call out throughout the clip the destroyer and the sub are head-to-head heading towards each other. The sub actually turns left onto 295 and the destroyer turns right onto 115 presumably. I guess the plot in 1:33 is inaccurate (continuity problem?). Though it is accurate in terms of bearings just not positions. They also say the sub is going dead slow. This is important because when he calls out at 2:25 "overreving screws" he's saying the sub captain is trying to rapidly increase his speed. This would be to throw of the timing of the depth charge drop. This is one reason for the head on approach taken by the sub, he wants to maximise convergence rate to make the timing more difficult. Another reason for the sub's sudden acceleration is that the sub will need the speed in order to manoeuvre once it has passed the destroyer. Another point is that when the sub is within minimum range, the destroyer does not have a way to measure the range to target and also cannot estimate the range based off previous observations because the sub is accelerating rapidly. The minimum range is just the range at which the outgoing pulse and the return pulse are indistinguishable on the oscilloscope. Furthermore, when the sub gets behind the destroyer it drops off the hydrophone/sonar. The reason for this is because the hydrophone will be drowned out by the sound of the destroyers own engines. This gives the sub captain a window of time to use full power to manoeuvre and dive deeper without being listened to. I think one critique I have of this scene is that the time between the depth charges being dropped and the going off is too short. They first have to sink to the correct depth before detonating and they have to be sufficiently far away from the destroyer not to damage the destroyer itself! If they were to draw out the moment I think the drama and the significance of the timing would be more obvious.

The movie never once depict a ramming action by any of the U boats. It however depicts a U boat hugging another destroyer which was a common tactic at the time as destroyer BOFORS and main guns could not depress down enough to get a clean shot off. 3. German U boats who are forced to surface often use their deck gun and other mounted weaponry. Although Germans aren't as fanatic as shown in the movie and will often surrender than go down in a blaze of glory. The movie depicts U boats surfacing because of damage caused by concentrated fire. 4. German U boat wolf pack tactics shown in the movie is accurate enough. Wolf packs will often attack from opposite directions to thin out the escorts. Don't hate the movie blindly. Watch it before making yourself look like an ass on KZbin.

@@frosty2975 early in the war U boats attacking at night often launched their torpedoes while surfaced. The reason for this was that their surfaced speed was higher (making them able to carry out more attacks without losing the convoy) and the Allied sonar couldn't see surfaced vessels. A surfaced U boat has a very small visual signature so it was hard for lookouts to see them in the dark, making such attacks quite stealthy. This tactic stopped after the Allies developed radar sets small enough to fit aboard destroyers and corvettes, as radar could see surfaced subs easily regardless of the conditions.

[@kevinclarkson7036]

It is great acting, Hanks is superb as always and the quality of the CGI is exceptional. However it bears little relation to the reality of 1942. The United States had been in the Atlantic war but a few months they had no idea how to hunt U-boats, tactics had yet to evolve (It took the British and Canadians 3 years to evolve effective anti submarine measures mostly before the US entered the war). The Fletcher Class destroyer used in the movie were almost all deployed to the Pacific. The sonar plot shown is very late war far too sophisticated for 1942. I know of no convoys of that period with US warships in command. The escort groups were British or Canadian navy. As to U-boat tactics the principle was if a U-boat spotted a convoy it would shadow 10 miles or so astern on the surface broadcasting position course and speed to assemble a pack of U-boats. They would position themselves ahead of the convoy and submerge waiting for the convoy sail over them then surface at night in the middle of the convoy to torpedo as many as possible. They were defeated largely by radar rather than sonar.from April 1943. In essence then despite Greyhound being a great action movie the Battle of the Atlantic was almost exclusively a British and Canadian affair.
