Default Why a Zombie U-Boat Crew Would Be Ideal

I just started watching AMC's "The Walking Dead". This got me thinking that a zombie U-boat crew would be ideal. Here's why:


  • No need for provisions
  • Patrols would only be limited by fuel
  • No fatigue – no need to rotate stations
  • Greater ability to man flak guns despite receiving wounds
  • No worries if a crew member washes overboard
  • No more worries about abandoning merchant seamen after their ship has been sunk, as they would be eaten
  • The crew is always dead quiet
  • No one minds the diesel smell as much
  • The ability to flood the internal compartments would significantly increase the maximum dive depth
  • No more manual calculations for torpedoes: All firing solutions would be done by dead reckoning
  • ?
