There is a lot more to the story of U-864. The U-boat mission was to transport several key technology to the Japanese by way of Norway and the Arctic Circle to Japan. Aboard the U-boat were plans and components for the Jumo 004 turbojets along with 2 engineers from Messerschmitt, guidance components for V-2 ballistic missiles, 2 Japanese technicians trained in Germany and 67 tons of liquid mercury. When the wreck of U-864 was located in 2003, it was discovered that the poisonous liquid mercury was leaking into the surrounding ocean floor forcing the Norwegian government in 2017 to entomb the underwater wreck in 160,000 tons of sand and rock to contain the leak. BTW: the HMS Venturer did not just stumble on the U-864. The British knew of its mission and location because they had broken the Enigma code and deliberately sent the Venturer to ambush it.
@@828enigma6 The value of recoverable material also depends on the cost of recovering from deep waters. Also, since it was a foreign vessel there would be a lot of red tape and politics, environmental factors and studies before any salvage operation can be initiated. It was better to just entomb it than to go into the headache.
When you consider that the Brit Captain had to factor in the three dimensions of where the German U-boat might be, this is phenomenal skill with a lot of luck added in. The take away lesson is to never repeat a maneuver and don't be predictable.
There's not much you can do in these situations, you have to follow established doctrines and protocols. Having to make something up might not work and wastes time trying to execute such orders.
GregoryTheGr8ster this channel sometimes add weird shit to make it sound more interesting. They didn't need to do it this time as it is interesting enough
It's due to the fact the Torpedo solution computer was linked to the periscope's head directional bearing, So by using the hydrophone they were able to get the bearing, The periscope then just needs to be pointed towards the target bearing. As for bringing up the periscope, that is due to the fact that when a submarine's periscope is retracted it remaining locked in position and can't move.

“Underwater submarine dogfight” Expectations: a submarine doing a cobra manoeuvre to slow down Reality: “Shhh be very very quiet, it’s submarine season”
What I simply don’t get is the video showing Launders using his periscope. He wouldn’t have. The very point is that the German submarine was submerged; Launders was using a combination of the original sighting, hydrophones, and dead reckoning. He calculated a firing solution blind and in three dimensions. That’s why he’s a legend.
One big flaw in the video: Why was the British commander looking into the periscope while launching torpedos?? They were BOTH submerged, there’s no way he could see the other sub using periscope underwater
And Torpedo Data Computer which sent gyro values to torpedoes in the tubes relied on periscope bearing. So even if the Uboat fully submerges to where it can't be seen, the Submarine captain gets updates from hydrophone (bearing to enemy Uboat) and points the periscope that way = Easiest way to keep sending updated data to the torpedoes. And yes I'm fun at parties.
That's one reason (the risks and isolation) why sub duty, at least in the U.S. NAVY is totally volunteer. And why it's extra pay and the best food in the Navy. The Silent Service, Run Silent ilent, Run Deep. Go NAVY! ✌🏻🇺🇸
@@soundspartan the Navy doesn't make you serve onboard submarines. It's an all volunteer force. Everyone that volunteer doesn't make it because they are carefully screened to make sure they are capable of dealing with life onboard submarines. The living conditions onboard submarines is very similar to that of the International Space Station. The only thing they don't have to deal with is the zero gravity.
What they left out on this was that the Uboat was able to be tracked because it’s diesel engine was malfunctioning giving off a terrible bent valve/broken rod sound as it was using its snorkel
@@deborahrauth7629 If the Germans were submerged but using their snorkel, that means that the German sub was just beneath the surface with the head of the snorkel just above the surface of the water to allow the diesel to run. This would also explain how the British sub was able to estimate how deep the German sub might be since the height of the snorkel is limited. In WW2 battery powered electric motors could only propel a sub slowly which is why using the diesel when barely submerged is preferable since it would allow faster underwater speed compared to batteries.
@@deborahrauth7629 Initially, the u boats d'sl engines were broken and it was the noise from the broken dsls that gave them away. At the end of the war the Germans had invented the snorkel mast which ment the submarine could be be running its dsls at PD. The venture was given notice the German s/m was in area and it detected the geman submarine on asdic. When the OOW looked through the periscope to find the contact they couldn't see one (because the s/m was dived at pd). You only have to use batteries bellow periscope depth.
I was hoping to hear submarine depth & distances. Now I'll have to research this - as this is like 4D targeting. Awesome shot - wonder if someone calculated the odds of a hit.
In reality the torpedo hit directly beneath the conning tower and blew the U-boat in half immediately the wreck came to rest 500 feet deep in 2 big pieces
So would the captain really raise the periscope while submerged below periscope depth; and if he did how far could he see through a periscope that is also under water?
One thing about him is that he fired two torpedoes, to get that shot, and he calculated most accurately, and he had good intelligence to understand how that submarine will respond when it has a torpedo in the water going for it but he had left to right which way should we have to go about us shouldn't waste

A Finnish submarine and a Soviet submarine also had a dogfight. The Soviet lies on the bottom of the Finnish Gulf... The submarine "Vetehinen" intentionally rammed the Soviet Submarine ShCh-305 and sank it.
You realize German U Boat Submarine crews where ruthless in their tactics and targeting unarmed Merchant ships and probably killed more men than you And me ever will.
@@_Dogberry_ THAT'S WHAT SUBMARINE WARFARE IS ALL ABOUT!!! NOT ALL U-BOAT COMMANDERS WERE RUTHLESS- LOOK UP THE STORY OF U-156 AND THE LACONIA. OTTO KRETCHMER OF U-99 WAS KNOWN TO HAND DOWN BLANKETS AND BOTTLES OF LIQUOR TO PEOPLE IN LIFEBOATS.
With their sonar it wasn't much better than shooting in the blind, and I'm not sure how good at depth keeping the Brit torpedoes were (the Americans' were hopeless) and any how they weren't designed to hit a deep diving sub. Very good educated guess, but a whole lot of luck involved there.
When you consider that the WW2 U-boat loss rate was 2/3, the best thing you could have done as a German submariner was to get arrested out of town so you would be in jail when your ship sailed. Every mission was pretty much a suicide mission.
I probably would have made a bad mistake but I would not sacrifice three torpedoes, someone shot if I can get in close enough to use one, and it wasn't his situation he actually applied himself to the way from which it was with such excellence, and again, I always want to have one or two Torpedoes to get home with but he was so smart he just overcame all of that
He didn't miss hitting that summary at least 60 to 100 just think about that you have to be all you need to do the special, sent and he hooks it with exceptional
I'm not certain that I would have, use three torpedoes, I would have got closer to him if I had enough fuel and enough battery power, but his achievement is quite reflected of England's and God bless the queen
Launders only use his Periscope to Search the U Boat's Periscope when they saw the Location of the Enemy Periscope they Finally determine and know the bloody range and they Also use HMS Venturer's underwater Hydrophone to know the Movement of the Uboat and they didn't use there ASDIC or SONAR or any Active Sensor that could make Ping Noise they use there Passive SONAR or ASDIC or just the Hydrophone so they could here the Movement of the Enemy in which they could know The Course of the Enemy and after that Launders Calculated everything on how they can Sunk the German U Boat and the Uboat Sunk all of that because of the Launder and the Brave Crew of HMS Venturer
About time (if they haven't already), they did Alastair Mars's snap shot that blew the bow of two Italian Cruisers. Not that's how to do maths in your head.
Imagine if WWIII was like in a big video game so nobody will get hurt/die... And so like if ur in a sub and there's an enemy sub but ur not looking to fight that sub but they fire anyway u can just say in chat like... Ummm.... "dude chill out we not gonna attack u chill'
It's a true story is a serious under water. Sub to sub attack . that achieved success & is document here the British captain is ruthless & daring & issues the attack after made sure of his calculations while the German captain somehow remains in defense to deal with it this attack became famous for its technique of rules which brought the desired effect is an example to be used in the naval academy of that period of time with all the instructions that add for under water fight .
It was a salvo, not a shot by shot kinda thing, basically the equivalent of a shotgun. And it was made by educated estimates. The two submarines didn't engage, the Uboat made every effort to DIS-engage. The HMS Venturer knew where and when because of broken Enigma code (basically cheatcode) and U-864 showed a near full broadside and couldn't return fire and could only really go one way when they saw Venturer, forward and down, not like you can instantly reverse and whip a 900 ton Uboat around. Barham crew merely had to figure distance, average speed and dive angle, et-voila. And "Dogfight", they changed the name for the video I guess, but dogfight isn't used for naval combat, it's for a whole different branch, the air forces. If this is the level we can expect from paid professionals I'd sooner they get thrown on the street for blatant misinformation.
The German's had a snorkel so they could use the diesel engine underwater and reduce the chance of detection by planes and surface ships. At some stage, I suppose they dived when detecting the British ship.

Having so much mercury in an enclosed space like that sounds very dangerous.
And all those bodies in their iron coffin finally got a proper burial.
I'd have thought the mercury would have been valuable enough to attempt to recover it. 64 tons is quite a bit.
