It used compressed air to push a piston behind the torpedo. If the outside pressure was too high the air wouldn't expand pushing the piston and, in turn, the torpedo out of the tube. The piston arrangement, while heavy (each time the torpedo tube was reloaded, the piston had to be removed first) allowed the submarine to release the missile without creating a massive bubble of air escaping the tube, giving away the boat position on the surface. I think on type XXI this arrangement was dropped in favor of water ramming the torpedo out of the tube. (But I'm not sure if this arrangement was experimental or used on all the boats). This allowed the submarine to fire torpedoes at any depth regardless of the external pressure.

The larger S and enormous T class boats could do about 90m no problem and they had a dodgy Oval shaped pressure hull - to accomadete the 6 internal fore tubes. Afaik the U class had a more sturdy 'cylinderical' hull like a U-boat I guess th S and T class would have been far more vunerable to DC attacks.... |
