Video Description
In May 1944, one destroyer escort did the impossible — sinking 5 enemy submarines in just 12 days. This is the story of the Hedgehog: the revolutionary anti-submarine weapon that crushed U-boat pressure hulls on contact, flooding them at 400 gallons per minute and turning the Battle of the Atlantic into a death trap for submarines. Discover how 24 spigot mortars firing 35-pound Torpex charges changed naval warfare forever. Learn the terrifying physics of pressure hull breaches at 200 feet depth, where temperatures inside submarines reached 300 degrees before catastrophic implosion. Witness the USS England's legendary patrol that destroyed Admiral Toyoda's entire submarine picket line — a record never matched in naval history. From Commander Goodeve's British innovation to Lieutenant Williamson's precision tactics, this is the untold story of the weapon that made Allied destroyers lethal and gave submarine hunters the edge they desperately needed. Every fact verified. Every number documented. This is history as it actually happened. #Hedgehog #WW2 #NavalWarfare #USSEngland #SubmarineWarfare #BattleOfTheAtlantic #PacificWar #MilitaryHistory #UBoat #WWII #NavalHistory #DestroyerEscort #AntiSubmarineWarfare #ImperialJapaneseNavy #Torpex #RoyalNavy #USNavy #WarHistory #DocumentaryHistory #SecretWeapons
