I wonder if they could have ever converted a V2 to be fired from a U-Boat? That really would have been hard to counter,they would simply park the U-Boat literally in the Thames somewhere and *boom!*,bob's your aunty,they would have never had time to react to such a sudden attack
Looking at the images the system looked very rudimentary and would have created awful drag I reckon.Ideally it needs to be installed inside the hull itself?,like modern Trident subs.
Interesting link jim,cheers.

Jimbuna, I'm deeply impressed by your endless knowledge of U-Boot warfare.
thx for sharing!
(I'd never assumed such a thing was even considered)

I dont even think Jim is technically alive,he is in fact a ghostly apparition sent with a single purpose,to keep the U-Boat memory alive
He has haunted mens dreams for centuries and is the key figure in all known sea hauntings and superstitions.He may very well be what we know as Davey Jones himself!

Thames it waaaaaaay too close.
More like Iceland's coastal waters (not that they would go there, just a range estimate)
