Subsim Mastermind # 001 (formerly Quick quiz)

[Mush Martin]

Ok so the idea is that with this quiz I will say only how many
someone has right and wrong, but I wont say which is right
or wrong. first one to get all six is the winner.

Subsimmers master mind 001.

1. What submarine shot down an airship ?
[edit] there are apparently two correct answers
to this question I will accept either.

2. what do the RN Aircraft carrier
Ark Royal and the IJN light cruiser
Yubari have in common?

3. What unusual tactic killed
U-40,U-23 and C-33 ?

4. What submarine fired the first ever torpedo in anger?
[edit succesfully]

5. What happened to submarines worldwide on May 17 1943?

6. What is the record for surviving on a raft after torpedoing by
a submarine?

[Raptor1]

1. U-134 v. K-74

2. Sunk by Submarines

3. That was the merchant towing a hidden submarine right?

4. The Hunley used her spar torpedo to destroy USS Housatonic, but that doesn't count, right? (Or maybe the Turtle but that's not even a torpedo...)

I'm probably wrong, but is it U-15 in the early days of the First Battle of the Atlantic?

5. The MI6 and the Office of Strategic Services agree to share cipher intelligence?

6. Poon Lim, 133 days

[Raptor1]

U-23 was also sunk by a Decoy Trawler towing a Submarine

Also, How could it possibly be UB-1 when it was commissioned in 1915?

but I see that youve discovered two of your errors
already. so assuming you notice shortly that
you missed a correction I will score you four correct
once you fix Q? # 3

Corrected

4 right :hmm:
OK thank you

More thinking needed

[Mush Martin]

a hint to all.............

bear in mind this researching Q's and A's thing is still new for me
mostly so a little leeway is asked for.

what I will say in the open is
I still dont have what I want for ark royal and yubari
but realize that they of course have three main
commonalities.

unlike question 1 however in this case I am still holding out
for what they have in common with each other that they
do not have in common with many other ships.

[Raptor1]

Both were sunk with minimal casualties (1 for Ark Royal, 19 for Yubari)?

Both were knocked dead in the water by a single Torpedo hit?

No other ships in class

1) U-134

2) Both were torpedoed and sunk by enemy submarines (and both sank a day after being torpedoed). Also, both served as flagships at one time or another.

3) All were sunk by a decoy trawler that was hauling an enemy submarine along behind it.

4) UB-1 in 1915.

5) Sonar used to measure depth was introduced to all u-boats in the Kriegsmarine.

6) 133 days, a feat done by 2nd Steward Poon Lim (born Hone Kong) after his ship, the S.S. Ben Lomond, was torpedoed and sunk by a u-boat 750 miles from the Azores on November 23, 1942, at 11:45 AM. He was picked up by a Brazilian fishing vessel on April 5, 1943.
