One thing is strange, why was the tactics of the undersea wolf pack abandoned during World War I and World War II?At the beginning, this submarine was used in large numbers to shuttle back and forth across the Atlantic, destroying more than 30 million tons of warships and cargo ships. As a result, the shipbuilding industry on the British island could not keep up with the sinking of the sea transport fleet. If it weren't for the U.S. shipbuilding industry, which is unmatched in the world, British Island's overseas ** and international transportation would have been completely blocked. Submarines alone can sink a 30-million-ton ship, which is still inconceivable today. The question is, after the end of World War II, not only one country in the world had submarines, but why didn't anyone do it?In the final analysis, it is the technology of submarines that has improved greatly compared to the period of World War II, and the anti-submarine capabilities have advanced by leaps and bounds. In this way, the strategy of the wolf pack cannot be copied. World War I and World War II,
Ordinary diesel-electric submarines can dive up to more than 200 meters, but the submarines at that time were basically semi-submersible. In other words, they are usually active underwater, and now, they have raised their goggles and ventilation pipes, and continue to monitor the sea surface while continuing to conduct carpet searches with diesel engines. If it's rainy and visibility is low, a lot of submarines will surface in broad daylight. Only in the skies above them will they notice the presence of anti-submarine ***. So, before the Second World War, 90% of the combat missions of the "sneaking wolf" were on the surface of the sea. It can not only operate the diesel engine in the submarine for a long time and carry out a wide range of maneuvers on the water, but also receive and send telegrams at any time to carry out submarine intelligence coordinated operations. Only in this way will he be able to strike a battleship weighing tens of millions of tons. However, at the time of the Second World War. With the development of sea-detection radars, the detection range of submarines has been expanded to more than a hundred nautical miles.
It's easy to find the ventilation ducts for submarines, let alone the crowds of submarines. In this way, the crowd tactics of the wolf pack are ineffective. This diesel-electric submarine can only hide in the water for a long time. But after the Second World War, there was little progress in the battery technology of submarines. This severely limits the maneuverability and maneuverability of ordinary submarines, making it impossible for submarine pilots to breathe normally, fight and live in this harsh environment. So, ordinary submarine tactics are like a lone wolf, waiting in the water for the appearance of its prey. At this time, not to mention multiple floating boats, even the cooperation of two floating boats cannot be done. The wait-and-see style of play makes it difficult for them to attack and defend on a large scale. This means that it will be difficult for even the most powerful submarine team to break out of the first island chain on their own. This is also the reason why the world's largest submarine fleet with more than seventy submarines, and the only mass destruction ** at the time, their strategy was to maintain absolute defense in the first island chain. For a large number of equipped AIP-type submarines,
The only difference is that the battle in the first island chain has become a battle in the first island chain, and the only difference is that the "outside" and the "defense" are the core. The retirement of Kilo-class conventional fish begins to accelerate after 27 years of service, which is contrary to the fact that more than 60% of the world's submarines in service are over the age of 30. This means that now and in the future, there will be a wave of large-scale production and service of unconventional fish, while unconventional fish will completely break the island chain and dominate the ocean. This is an era of both offense and defense!
