Darn boats still being pesky after all these years:hmm:

Is it true sharks used to come around in the area because they recognized depth charges as sort of a "dinner bell'? Like Pavlov's dogs. Possibility of fresh meat being served up.

I remember hearing about this happening all the time in the Pacific campaign, but I can't remember the source and I don't know if it's true....

If any of you read Torpedo Junction the Dione would feed seagulls off the fantail. Once they had to start DC'ing the uboats off the east coast of the US, the darn seagulls would show up off the fantail thinking bread was coming. The poor little buggers got the shower of water from the DC and most got killed as a result

Oh, well, one less seagull to crap on my car

Also ive heard of Active sonar frying Dolphins whe they got to close to Ships and subs going active

In other words, a drunken Supertanker Captain is worse for the environment than 30 torpedoed tanker in WWII.

leeclose · 03-10-07, 06:51 AM

hmm lemme see how many ships were sunk during WW2 including Allies and axis from 39 to 45 trust me its way going to outweigh any super tanker by a factor of 50

I mean there are ships ie the royal oak thats still leaking oil fuel 67 ish years later, and thats a 1000 tons jesus wept thats enoug to kill thousands of sea birds then the sub mentioned above us and all the other weird ****. Oh and lets remember the 2 nuclerar bombs 62 years later there are still people in nagasaka and hiroshima with birth defects and cancer/leukema now thats enviromental impact

(they were soldiers). after the explosion, plenty of dead fishes appeared on the surface...

so if one small grenade caused death to so many animals, what impact had thousands of DC? or a single sunk tanker?

Pearl Harbor, I hear also that sunken ships there are still leaking liquids, that’s 66 years ago.
I’ve seen Afghanistan’s grenade fishing in a lake and they were pulling out large ones and a lot of them

Just replace a few of your light bulbs with those special Al Gore light bulbs and all will be forgiven as your carbon imprint will be righted.

NipplesTheCat · 03-10-07, 04:55 PM

Too bad they dont make CFL light bulbs in the shape of Al Gores head.

Correct. 5th Dec 1944, British sub Venturer torpedoed U-864, wich sunk with 73 men and 1857 canisters of mercury as well as jet-plane parts, destined for Japan.

I remember seeing this on the History Channel.

Yeah plus the seagulls use to have a feast on dead sailors, i read in a book once a biography of a uboat crew coming alongside a inflatable they found floating around in the middle of the atlantic, inside were three sailors and two hanging on outside all stiff and sitting up straight & the two outside were just bobing up and down like corks all dead of course, each one had his eyes missing. Seagulls said the kapitan, probably plucked them out when they were too weak to fight back.

Save mankind, kill a seagull!
