GRAPPLE HOOKS ON SURFACE VESSELS TO SNAG SUBS
 

I JUST GOT A MOVIE "BELOW" NOT TO BE MISTAKEN FOR "THE ENEMY BELOW" THAT HAD THESE GRAPPLE HOOKS ON THEM THAT DID A NUMBER ON A WWII SUB-SEE THE MOVIE...

Squeak, welcome aboard fellow Kaleun!

@squeak & WARHEAD1 welcome aboard :)

@WARHEAD1 typing with Caps Lock on is considered yelling when posting. :yep:

Grappling Hooks? :hmm: seems it would be a lot like fishing with a drag net - a lot of luck but if that is all you have for a weapon I guess better than nothing.

Welcome again both of you.

Have Fun!

:lurk:

I saw that movie but from the looks of the hooks they used, a
smaller tonnage DD would be very hard pressed to operate
something like that. More of a tactic of a large merchant
dredgeing ship somewhere in the neighborhood of 15,000 tons.

But it do seem like a tactic which could be applied, not as a weapon, but as a mean to accuratly pinpoint a sub.

Thx mate :up:

If one could hook up a bouy to the sub, It could work quite well. But considering how difficult it was to pinpoint the location of a sub, probably not practical--that's why they came out with sono-bouys.

Something fishy going on here... :o :shifty:
