Hi John

P.S.

Unlike in other WWII submarines ,in U-Boats and American subs it was not necessary to point the boat at the target; the torpedoes, receiving continually corrected courses into their gyroscopic automatic steering gear until they left the tubes, would turn inmediately onto the desired course as soon as they were fired.


Best Regards
