Not sure the square footage of that sail would have done much good.

Talk about the ol' slow boat to china boredom...

Have to agree with John on that... Not sure the square footage of that sail would have done much good.

Think it would work, but speed would probably be like.. a knot, maybe 2, with a good stiff wind behind them... Maybe...

Regardless, it would definitely be slow going. & then having to derig the sail & dive.. no emotors as you can't recharge them... basically, a sitting wounded duck... dead meat.

The use of that uboat, is as good as stick a fork in it.. it's toast.

If you got back & able to grab a new boat, if able & continue.. if not, then start a new career.

Plus, this sub was close to shore via somewhere in the middle of the Atlantic with hostile ships nearby after being depth charged.
Interesting story never the less; thanks Anvar1061.
