A few interesting notes about the boats involved in this song- * SS Bury had quite an interesting life, spending WW1 in German hands having been captured in Hamburg at the start of the war. * USS Gleaves was later involved in the rescue of SS Adabelle Lykes when the latter vessel suffered from a smallpox outbreak on-board, the crew of the Gleaves bringing their vessel alongside in stormy conditions to transfer vaccines and emergency supplies. * USCGC Ingham went on to sink several U-Boats in its career and is still extant to this day, enjoying retirement in Key West Maritime Memorial Museum Kudos to Sabaton for this great piece of musical storytelling. The haunting, thrumming drive of the music really sets the atmosphere of battle in stormy seas..

Thank you for your service, USN 1967-1978 HM2c(FMF)/USN. Never served in a ship, was with embarked troops in the USS Juneau (LPD-10) and USS Schenectady County (LST-1185) in the mid 1970's. Got caught by a "mild" typhoon on the way to Japan. Really got seasick, an old salt took pity on me and had me eating saltine crackers with peanut butter and drinking split pea soup. I ended up getting over the seasickness before we landed on Numazu Beach, Tokyo Bay, Japan or at least that was what they were calling it back in the 1970's. It was a gravel beach, never got a chance to wonder around and look for interesting rocks. We made the landing in the Schenectady County, it was an interesting drive to get from the ship's tank deck to the beach, in our little M-718 ambulance. I heard the call to battle stations on the way back to Okinawa in the USS Juneau. They called us to our stations with "General Quarters, General Quarters all hands man our battle stations! This is not a drill!" This was repeated following someone blowing on a boatswain's pipe, on the forward bulkhead of the sickbay was the ammo hoist for the twin 3 inch automatics a couple decks above us. It was sort of scary to hear those rounds rattle up the hoist. Right before the call to general quarters we had been pinged by a Russian Akula. I wanted to be sick, we were on the same side as the sub was. We were rescued by a pair of DD's that came over the horizon at full speed. After that I had no desire to ever again go out in a ship. My next duty station after school was out in the middle of the Mojave Desert, the largest Naval Base on the west coast, around 3 million acres under the fence.

If you're into submarine movies, I cannot recommend The Enemy Below enough. I've seen it more times than I care to admit, and even knowing the ending, it doesn't stop the chills, and the tension, watching a Destroyer and a U-Boat play cat-and-mouse, each trying to get the upper hand. The ending is amazing, but I won't spoil it for you. Robert Mitchum and Curd Jürgens are the perfect match I think. Both serious actors, who portray the kind of intelligence, strategic thinking, and stern love for their crews one would expect from Captains of the era. There are no sudden rescues, no blazing standoffs. Just two crews, from two nations, trying desperately to survive the next five minutes.

It's clear in the film that the subs were forced to the surface after receiving heavy damage. There are many historical instances of brief engagements on the surface by crippled subs, both in the Atlantic theater and in the Pacific Theater, amongst all combatant navies. Most actions were against aircraft (which accounted for the overwhelming majority of sub kills). Only a handful against surface warships. A couple have been mentioned above in this thread. All were in an effort to buy time for the crew to abandon the sinking sub. The movie only bothers me on one point. The "Grey Wolf" captain taunting the Greyhound's captain over the wireless. This made my skin crawl it was so utterly ridiculous. This never, EVER, happened. I was surprised no one has mentioned this (that I saw).

[@user-sv7bw4qz2v]

Convoy ON 92 is generally considered to have been a German victory because, between May 12, 1941 and May 18, 1941, the U-boats sank seven Allied merchantmen, totaling 41,955 tons of displacement, with no German losses. But by 1943, the US was launching three Liberty Ships a day, each of which displaced 10,000 tons, meaning that the sealift capacity it had taken the Germans a week to destroy was being replaced by the US approximately every 32 hours.

The depth charges destroyed the sub and the plane crashed into the sea killing all the crewmen. Only a handful of Germans survived and they used the raft that broke loose from the plane. The next day a recon plane saw the raft surrounded by sharks and radioed for help. If the raft didn't break loose, the Germans would have been eaten by the sharks and no one would have known the details of this battle. Check out the story.

[@clefsan]

@@shaftoe195 when there were close range surface battles between u-boats and destroyers, it was always unintentional on the part of the u-boat. they were heavily outgunned with no chance to win (except by luck) in such a scenario, so they would avoid it wherever possible. U-boats would do surface attacks (usually at night) on convoys, using both torpedoes and deck guns, because in that scenario they could do a lot of damage to a convoy while moving through it with the escorts having a difficult time locating and shooting at them without risking friendly fire events.

[@clefsan]

@@123dodo4 ww2 u-boats had very limited underwater time before they had to surface for recharging their batteries and were also much, much slower underwater than while moving on the surface. also, torpedoes are much more expensive than the shells for their deck guns, so if they could sink a merchant ship without too much risk to themselves (for example when encountering a lone ship, since not all ships traveled in convoys despite the risk) they might choose to not spend their limited supply of expensive torpedoes. Note: A single torpedo cost about 125k Reichsmark (about 50k USD at 1941 exchange rate) and the Type VII (most prevalent class) only carried 14 of them. The later war long range patrol sub Type IX had about 22 torps (small differences based on different variants of Type IX boats existed)

Love the power and menace that courses through the song, and they did a pretty good job of using the Greyhound footage to show the terrified reactions above, there isn't a modern movie showing the German side of things, so you've got to work with what you can find (Loved Das Boot, right hardware, but that was set after the glory days of the Wolf Pack, when the hunters had become the hunted, and that burnt-out, and bedraggled crew just wouldn't fit.) This former Tin Can sailor would humbly suggest that the Battle of Leyte Gulf, off Samar. would make an excellent subject for a Sabaton song, A handful of Escort Carriers and Destroyers finds the main force of the Imperial Japanese fleet bearing down on them, headed to obliterate the US forces landing in the Philippines. Rather than make a run for it, they play chicken with a force that outguns them 10:1 and WIN. The battle is not well known, because it was an embarrassment to Admiral Halsey, who was baited into leaving the landing zone unprotected, but it's definitely a historical fray worthy of song.

@@JohnDoe-qb6yh It was the destroyer sailors' finest hour, but the circumstances in which it happened was an embarrassment to the admiralty, and the navy as a whole, so the story was suppressed, and didn't become widely known until the age of the internet. It's not that the Imperial Navy were bad shots so much as the situation Taffy 3 created for them. Before coming about, Commander Evans ordered the boilers to be red-lined, knowing that the fact it would wreck the engines in less than half an hour was irrelevant in this case. His ship had the never-before-seen technology of radar-directed guns and computerized fire control, enabling it to put rounds on target through smoke and haze, and during high-speed course changes. The Johnston came zigging and zagging in at 60+ knots as the Japanese blasted away at it with their main guns, which couldn't track fast enough to score a hit, while the smaller defensive guns that could have hit her were forced to contend with the airborne threat. It was like the biggest, baddest, bear in the forest being simultaneously mauled by honey badgers and swarmed by bees.

A very good and correct maneuver of a German submarine is shown when, having surfaced between two destroyers, she deprived them of the opportunity to use the main caliber due to the risk of hitting each other, they themselves could fire at them. The boats of those times could not stay under water for a long time, and the maneuverability under water was very low, so the boats moved most of the time on the surface and sank only for a guaranteed torpedo attack, and they simply did not have time to reach the line of attack on the maneuvering destroyer, so how the failed attack was carried out before. They could not get away from it either, since the speed of the submarine under water was ~ 7 knots, while the Fletcher-class destroyer had 36 knots and the boat was in the zone of confident radar capture. So they shouldn't be laughing at this situation here, it is quite realistic.

[@GrumpyIan]

I know this doesn't apply to every sub but the USS Silversides could stay submerged for 2 days if they went at a max speed of 2 knots.

[@franklinhadick2866]

Also theres a thing called a soft kill, you deprive the opposition of their goals, force a sub to dive and it doesnt have an opportunity to attack the convoy do to their slow underwater speed.

During the attack on this convoy, not a single boat was lost. For that, the losses of the convoy were significant.

There is a lieutenant on board the Greyhound whose surname is "Rudel". Rudel in German means Group or Pack. The name of the tactics that the U-boats used was called "Rudel Tactics" and not "WOLFSRUDEL" (Wolf pack tactics) . I think makers hid a tiny Easter egg in that dudes name.

To the controversial submarine manoeuvre: It's indeed risky. But the Waterbombs would immediately sink it if they would stay under water. Second point might be that they are lower than the Warboat, so maybe their cannons can't aim on them very well.

[@DesiArcy]

That did actually happen in at least one incident during WWII, albiet not with this convoy. The Clemson-class destroyer USS Borie successfully depth-charged U-256, which then surfaced at point-blank range to the destroyer. Borie *rammed* U-256 but the combination of a last-seond evasive maneuver by the sub and an interestingly timed wave caused Borie's bow to end up *on top of* the submarine's deck. From this position, the destroyer's guns could not depress enough to actually fire on the sub -- which meant the destroyer crew ended up fighting it out with small arms, ending with most of their weapons out of ammunition -- at the last moment, two Nazi sailors dashed for the U-Boat's quad machine gun mount, but one was killed by a throwing knife and the other was knocked overboard by a thrown shell casing.
