Hello everybody and many thanks for the quality of the forum and the website.
I am Josep, from Spain.
I was reviewing some raids made by the U-64 on the Catalan coast, (in the north-east of Spain), and in relation to the sinking of some ships.
I am woken up, in relation to the type of guns that the submarine carried out during the war in the Mediterranean.
In September 1917, according to the KTB, U-64 had a 10.5 cm (SK L / 45) gun. I deduced it by the type of ammunition that, Moraht, wrote to the book.
From the previous incursion, in June of that year, I do not have the page and I can not know it.
Checking out some KTBs:
- Rucker, in June 1916, in the U-34, notes a gun, 8.8 cm.
- Arnauld, in the U-35, in September 1916, 8.8 cm.
- Arnauld mentioned in February 1917 that, 10.5 cm guns were much better than those of 8.8 cm. Therefore, on that date, I suppose the guns had already changed, or were in the process of being made.
- Klasing, in May 1917, mentions a 10.5 cm, in the U-34.
Someone knows, please, when the guns of 8.8 cm from the 63 serie change by 10.5 cm guns? And specifically, when it is changed in U-64?
Thanks in advance.
Best regards.
