Historical Question: Deckgun - Bow vs Stern
Howdy all,
My friend and I were discussing the difference between the subs of SH3 and SH4. We eventualy talked about deckguns, and pointed out that germans mounted it on the bow of their subs and we did too with our early S class subs. Why over the course of the war did the Germans keep the guns on the bow and the United States keep the guns aft of the conning tower? Was there some theoretical doctrine to why the gun should be mounted aft? Just wondering
