  That's the sound of a German u-boats crew

• For starters were going to talk about the
  U-Boats 2 torpedo triggers. The fist one is
  impact, which detonates upon a hard/solid
  surface. The second is magnetic, which detonates
  when sensing a change in the magnetic field. And
  one of the magnetics most effective uses is to
  set detention to just beneath the kneel of the
  target.

• Up next is the beginning of world war 1 one for
  the U-Boats. At the start of world war 1 Germany
  had made 29 U-Boats. In ten weeks 5 British
  cruisers were sunk. HMS pathfinder was sunk by
  sm-u-2 . HMS was the first ship to be sunk by a
  self-propelled torpedo.

• Last but definitely not least is the
  developments. The type-Ix was larger and was
  designed for long range portals , some travelling
  as far as Japan. And the type-XXI revolutionary
  steam-lined hull design, which was the basis for
  the very best submerged performance. Also the
  ASPIC in Britain allowed allied warships to
  detect submerged U-Boats.

• Well thats it for NOW, because there are still
  hundreds of U-Boat books, so go look them up!
