Submarines During World War 1

The technological developments during the campaign affected the significance of the bombing of Germany during the Second World War. In 1939-1941, there were less planes, or navigational

ASDIC gave no advance warning of a U-boat and thus there was no opportunity to reroute a convoy away from the danger. However, advances in technology meant that by 1942 the escorts would have several more means of detection. One such method was radar. By May 1942, 236 ships carried centimetric radar, an accurate radar using a wavelength of 10cm and able to detect a U-boat at a distance of several miles. This was important because it allowed convoys to make a course away the U-boat but more significantly it enabled escorts to home in and attack.

The Germans had definitely revolutionized naval with the introduction of their U-boats. If it had not been for them, there may not have been any good offensive weapons to use at sea. The Germans had created much more powerful weapons by implementing torpedoes into their U-boats. This was a very smart idea by the Germans as it allowed them to catch many enemies off guard and be much more successful at sea. It was smart of them to take a more offensive approach to naval battles instead of their usual defensive approach. Not only was a new approach taken towards naval battle, but land warfare was also highly improved.

Airplanes were in a similar position as tanks - the technology was really too new and immature for effective combat use. At best, the airplane provided better observation and reconnaissance ability than previously available, but, in a static trench-warfare setting (with the commonly poor European weather), the amount of benefit this provided is easy to overstate. Tactical and strategic bombing was non-existent; the airplane would have to wait for the wars of

​The German U-Boats were like a submarine that was a lot more advanced than those that were built by other nations; and they were the first submarines made by the Germans. The U-boat was 214 feet long, it could carry 35 men, and 12 torpedoes at a time. And it could travel underwater for 2 hours at a time. With these Germany had a lot of success against the British warships. (https://www.britannica.com/technology/U-boat)

Submarines, also known as U-boats. This U-boat was able to attack ships underwater without being spotted. The only Major problem is that it broke the International law. When the Germans attack a neutral ship, they are supposed to warn them beforehand but

After Great Britain made a blockade to stop trade between the U.S and Germany, Germany started to use their u-boats to have unrestricted warfare. On DBQ 16:Why Did We Enter WWI?-Document 5 it says”... the Imperial German Government that on and after the first day of February it [would] use its submarines to sink every vessel that sought to approach… Great Britain… or the western coasts of europe…”Meaning that if they saw anything on the western coasts of europe or entering Great Britain, they would blow it up. This is an example of unrestricted warfare. Another example, according to an article called The Sinking of the Lusitania it says “At 2:10 in the afternoon a torpedo

The U-boats one of Germany’s of most intimidating naval weapons. The U-boat, also known as a submarine, which is a boat that could go underwater. The common U-boat during World War One could carry 35 men and 12 torpedoes (history.com). The Germans would use the element of surprise by torpedoing ships such as their enemies or neutral countries.For example, the ship the Lusitania, a british ocean liner that had been coming from New York to Liverpool had been torpedoed without warning, which ended up killing 1,189 people. The Germans would use the U-boat for unrestricted warfare which caused the Germans’ to have one of the most

Before World War II, the submarine was very predictable and easily managed with detection systems, depth detection, and antisubmarine forces. The aircrafts were harder to manage, and could easily penetrate enemy territory. It was not so predictable.[xii]

In the thirty-eight years of the United States Naval Submarine Service no United States submarine had ever sunk an enemy vessel. With the ignition of the Second World War the poorly equipped and poorly trained Silent Service, nicknamed for the limited access of the media to the actions and achievements of the submarines, would be thrust into the position American submariners had longed for. The attack on Pearl Harbor left the United States Navy with few options for retribution. The three remaining aircraft carriers were to be “the last line of defense.” Commander Stuart S. Murray made the precarious situation clear to his skippers, captains, upon sending them on their first war patrol. He stressed the importance of smart sailing by

Technology played a key role in determining the outcome of World War II. The high military demand for more advanced technology acted as a catalyst for the development of technology in the interwar years of the 1920’s and 1930’s. Scientists and Engineers alike poured massive amounts of research and development time into supporting the war effort, and more advanced technology was developed at an alarmingly rapid rate. One notable fact about technology in World War II is that World War II is the first war in which many military attacks were designed

The navy expanded during the war in order to respond to increasing threat of the German U boats*

had sunk both merchant and passenger ships without warning. Then later on Germany was trying

Submarines were effective and best known for sneaking on the enemy. They were lightly armored and served as easy prey if discovered. It also had small crew numbers which made it hard to take prisoners from captured steamships. Despite these reasons, the Germans were non reluctant to break the international rules of warfare. The Germans attacked and sank the British passenger ship carrying American civilians on board. The American people were in disbelief and accused Germany of violating international rules. However Germany disagreed to the accusations.

The United States Navy, as an acronym for RAdio Detection And Ranging, had created the expression RADAR, in 1940. The phrase radar has meanwhile become a part of the English language and many other languages as an everyday noun, and has lost any capitalization altogether. Shortly before World War II initiated, the British created a system of radar stations down the shoreline of England using Watson-Watts’ scheme. These stations, known as Chain Home, magnificently forewarned the Royal Air Force to oncoming adversary bombers, and aided in the defense of Britain against the German Luftwaffe in the Battle of
