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
- ?
