Thanks for the reply Contact....continuing in the same vein, how many times would they have submerged to perform a Hydrophone sweep of the area during the day ?
I imagine they only dived once a day (the trim dive) and then only when it was necessary, i.e. forced to by plane or very bad weather.
I imagine they only used Hydrosweeps when they were in the vicinity of a possible contact, e.g. another u-boat beacon or radio report of possible contact in area such and such.
But then again, I could simpy be imagining things.
Cheers....
