Usually not a good idea to risk opening holes in hulls designed to sink, but I know of one case of a submarine ramming another sub. The Finns on November 5th, 1942 had one sub, Vetehinen, (Merman) which came across the Soviet sub ShCh 305 at night recharging batteries. They fired one torpedo and used the deck guns, and a second torpedo, (probably too close for them to arm), and followed them in as the Soviet sub dived. They managed to sink the sub and the leaks were not so bad that they could not make it back to base. So the captain here was not crazy, as it could be done, but a torpedo sinking is a much more conventional way to sink an enemy sub for the obvious reason sub hulls are very hard things to ram.

U-234 (oddly named as it turned out) was ordered to Japan near the end of the war in Europe. It carried supplies of uranium oxide among other things. However Germany collapsed before it got too far and U-234 surrendered to American surface ships. There is a story that the uranium ore was sent directly to Manhattan Project laboratories where it was refined into U-235 and used in the atomic bomb program. I can't find any mention of a USS "Seanettle" or "Sea Nettle" in US Navy archives .

yeah it was carrying uranium ore also several TONS of mercury. remember back then mercury was used for explosive primer products, primers, blasting caps, etc. it wasn't until after the war that mercury less priming compounds were invented. that was why it was soo important to clean all barrels of any kind as soon as they were done firing to get the mercury compounds out of the barrels, because if left there they would try and form amalgams with the barrel steel thereby weakening the barrel steel rendering the barrel useless.

This captain was superlative, and would still have died without us knowing what happened had the churman been able to pull the same skinny maneuver by turning directly to the screw source. The German captain did not want his cargo damaged and our American was prepared to ram right after his torpedoes passed the enemy. This very silent service prepared our present sub force for the extended sea duty we now will use presently against the ccp. Small diesel subs lying in hiding keep our hunter killers from having true dominance as with good enough torpedoes will keep our aircraft carriers from close coastal waters unless we are willing to go full active sonar, and I would suppose we will continue to improve our acoustic imaging when we learn how dolphins brains manipulate the return signal so clearly as to have a perfect mental image of the target. Ours are pretty good now but need too extensive pinging to get a good read before the aircraft carrier enters the area.

Man, just give a thought of what you watching! 1940's war stories... No where did I see or hear "based on actual events" The actual events I think about is the brave souls who lost there lives on all sides. God bless them all. Just saying

Actually with the exception of greater depths I think modern subs have gotten worse.

Based on what experience? Take speed for example a WW2 sub could do about 5 knots submerged for a few hours. A modern sub can go 20+ knots forever. Sonar? Firecontrol? Weapons? Sound reduction? Modern subs are better in every wa.

What a "jingoistic" bunch of rubbish, typical of what Americans call a "documentary", based very loosely on a couple of supposed facts, the rest as usual is just speculation ?????

Not a documentary but a tv show. I enjoyed it as a child. It's not a college course, but entertainment.

Silent Service was a series aired on TV with WW2 stories, liberally adapted from real events. Many such series found audiences with vets and boomers.
