Cat Brules Posted May 9, 2020 Share Posted May 9, 2020 It just seems to me that the US was lucky, in that Hitler was clueless, to the point that he and his admirals and generals did not seem to realize the damage they could inflict on the US by developing sea-going rocketry much earlier in the war. Both the V-1 and the V-2 missiles were pretty unsophisticated (but ahead of the US). Cat Brules Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc X Posted May 9, 2020 Share Posted May 9, 2020 During WWII one US submarine, U.S.S. Barb, used the same 5" rocket launcher as was mounted on LCI(g) gunboats on a patrol against Japanese shore targets. Barb would surface at night, approach a shore installation, rig the launcher, fire a salvo then get out of dodge. She had some limited success with it too.
