I'm curious, and perhaps someone else can answer this, are there any hard figures of how many escorts and merchants were sunk by German T4/T5s? Granted, many were thwarted by allied countermeasures, but you read about German acoustic torpedos scoring hits right until the end of the war. |
Well, the Wikipedia article on the T4 doesn't give a hits vs. sinkings ratio, but the article on the T5 says that 640 were fired, sinking 45 ships. Doesn't say how many damaged, though.
