did the CAP sink  any  U  boats?
402200
CAP was the Civil Air Patrol and worked just off the East Coast in WW2.  They carried smoke bombs to mark the sightings and they sank one or two subs while directing military fire on a score more and found 173 enemy U-boats in all until the coastal sub threat was withdrawn in August, 1943.\n\n"CAP Coastal Patrol flew 24 million miles, found 173 subs, attacked 57, hit 10-12 and sank one if not two. By August 31, 1943, it was time for Coastal Patrol to stand down.  A German commander later confirmed that coastal U-boat operations were withdrawn 'because of those damned little red and yellow airplanes."  Again keep in mind, the CAP was kept secret from the public and the Germans did not know the aircraft were flown by unarmed, civilian pilots.  An aircraft is a submarines worst nightmare as a submarine near the surface is easily spotted from the air."  (1)

To sink down, it makes the density become more than the sdea water. It's done by filling the tanks with water, with pressure, making the temp lower. (At constant  volume, if the temperature is invertly proportional to the pressure). i.e increase in pressure at const volume, with decresing temperature increases the density. \n\nThe quite opp makes the submarine float up.

That would completely Suck without a doubt !\n\nIt sounds like something that supposedly happened to a few navy personal in an experiment called  " Project Rainbow ": otherwise known as " The Philadelphia Experiment ". \n\nListen to how a supposed surviver describes this ordeal:  Warning the content is graphic in nature.\n \n"When we switched the generators to full power,  it  had  created a strong  electromagnetic  field, which totally overcame and engulfed us within a heavy fog or a mist. It was at this precise  moment that  I  sensed myself being shook  violently  from a strong vibration and at the same time I noted the ship disappearing from around and below me. With a generator to  my back,  all of a sudden as if in slow motion, I felt a tremendous impact  in  which I sensed my entire  body being  propelled outwards  into hundreds of fragmented pieces. With this impact, there  was a brilliant flash of light, so intense it was  not only blinding, but consuming; the piercing sound forced me to the ship’s deck covering my ears with my hands in a desperate  attempt to relieve the pain. Now bleeding from my mouth, nose and ears, nothing seemed to help the discomfort  that   I was experiencing,  leaving me with  the one  and only thought  I repeatedly recall saying to myself — “I wished I  were dead”!"\n\n "Twenty-seven of the 40 were men embedded within the structure of the ship, but who were not in all cases dead. Mercifully some were shot in the head using a standard military pistol, yet others were kept alive long enough for laboratory research." \n\nSee web page for the complete story:

yes. almost every nation involved did, except for those defeated. The website at historychannel.com has some really good info on post war europe and asia

HMS Hood, with a full load displacement of approximatley 46,000tons, was the largest Royal Navy ship sunk during WWII.  She was sunk during the Battle of the Denmark Staits when engaging the German battleship Bismarck and cruiser Prince Eugen.  There's some debate as to which ship sank her, but most evidence suggests that the fifth salvo from the Bismarck was the culprit.

how can a submarine glide through the water shaped like a disc, perhaps, without being detected or try escaping an enemy submarine shaped like a sphere?\n\nit has nothing to do with your penis extension. it's just is.\n\ni tried answering your question, as seriously as i can. but i'd rather not and just give me my two points.

Yes, I read about it.\n\nHere's the Navy's official version:\nhttp://www.history.navy.mil/faqs/faq21-1.htm

It hit the iceberg at 11:40 pm, the aft section sank at\n2:20 am

It's still there, but now we know the most likely culprit of all the troubles there was caused because of a huge methane gas field in that area.  When the gas is released and it comes to the surface of the water, the water density is changed and ships are no longer able to stay afloat.  When it comes to Aircraft, it also changes the density of the air, and the aircraft fall out of the sky because they no longer are able to obtain lift.  I can't remember what they said it exactly does to the primitive navigation systems, but essentially it screws them up to.  \nNowadays we know what to be looking for when in that area, and how to avoid trouble.

Following is the beginning of the President’s message to the 65th Congress concerning that war.  The complete message may be found at the source link:\n\nGentlemen of the Congress: \nI have called the Congress into extraordinary session because there are serious, very serious, choices of policy to be made, and made immediately, which it was neither right nor constitutionally permissible that I should assume the responsibility of making. \nOn the 3d of February last I officially laid before you the extraordinary announcement of the Imperial German Government that on and after the 1st day of February it was its purpose to put aside all restraints of law or of humanity and use its submarines to sink every vessel that sought to approach either the ports of Great Britain and Ireland or the western coasts of Europe or any of the ports controlled by the enemies of Germany within the Mediterranean. That had seemed to be the object of the German submarine warfare earlier in the war, but since April of last year the Imperial Government had somewhat restrained the commanders of its undersea craft in conformity with its promise then given to us that passenger boats should not be sunk and that due warning would be given to all other vessels which its submarines might seek to destroy, when no resistance was offered or escape attempted, and care taken that their crews were given at least a fair chance to save their lives in their open boats. The precautions taken were meagre and haphazard enough, as was proved in distressing instance after instance in the progress of the cruel and unmanly business, but a certain degree of restraint was observed The new policy has swept every restriction aside. Vessels of every kind, whatever their flag, their character, their cargo, their destination, their errand, have been ruthlessly sent to the bottom without warning and without thought of help or mercy for those on board, the vessels of friendly neutrals along with those of belligerents. Even hospital ships and ships carrying relief to the sorely bereaved and stricken people of Belgium, though the latter were provided with safe-conduct through the proscribed areas by the German Government itself and were distinguished by unmistakable marks of identity, have been sunk with the same reckless lack of compassion or of principle.

did ur husabnd knock anyone down???

None of the above...It was the sister ships of the jappanese navy..the Mushashi and the Yamato...Biggest ever built at around 70,000 tons and armed with the largest caliber guns...18.1 inches  compared to the Iowa clas for the US at around 50,000 tons and armed with 16 inchers and the Bismark class for the germans at 48,000 tons and armed with 15 inchers...The projected MONTANA class for the US would have been right up there with the Yamato but they were canceled before the war was finished as being not needed...I think the projected USS KENTUCKY was 60 % done at the time of cancellation...

did you drop something?

The actual numbers were 34 dead and 173 wounded, or a total of 70% of the crew.  The Liberty was our newest "Intelligence" ship.  (clue)  This investigation was squashed and deemed classified by the Johnson Administration 39 years ago.  There are veteran groups out there today still trying to get  satisfaction on this issue. So in answer to your question,  essentially nothing was done except a whole lot of sweeping under the rug.

Yeah; there was a bar fight in Halifax and an American sailor ws stabbed and killed.  As a Canadian I am so sorry that happened.  :(\n\nhttp://www.cbc.ca/canada/story/2006/11/05/sailor-killed.html
