radar stoty

owen

Arrived today, thanks.

I'm looking forward to reading it--I've spent the last two weeks straight w orking on Waymo v Uber and I need some down time. Interesting case but very very busy.

Cheers

It was a back and forth thing for awhile, but by the end of the war a posting on a U-boat was a death sentence. The U-boats never had a detector for centimetric radar, which could easily see them even when running on schnorkel.

That's all a pile of bullshit. You have no idea what you're talking about.

"However, none of these WWII radars had the appropriate design and performa nce characteristics to detect small radar-cross-section targets such as exp osed periscopes. "

Germans could make about 7.5 knots submerged and they had a fast crash dive feature, but that's mighty slow for an evasion maneuver. The Americans wer e even worse at only 2 knots submerged. The technology back then was pathet ic. But it's that poor performance and the development of sonar that made t hem a death trap.

You just worry about your la-ti-da music concerts, feckless old brainless fossil.
