Diskussion:U 9 (U-Boot, 1910)
Welchen russischen Hilfskreuzer versenkte U 9?
Das ist mein Problem; ich weiß es nicht. In "The German Submarine War 1914-1918" steht hierzu lediglich folgendes:
"Spiess relates one hazardous experience. He penetrated the Russian mine-fields off Uto, 'the Heligoland of the Finnish Gulf,' late on August 25, and nearly paid with his life for his temerity. Sighting in the twilight, against the rocks, a Russian submarine, with a steam-launch alongside, he decided to attack her. He believed that the officers were about to disembark in the launch, leaving their submarine for the night. He manoeuvred to get into position for firing a torpedo. At the next sight through the periscope, he saw, to his horror, the Russian submarine gliding towards U 9, trying to creep up a narrow channel between the reefs. BHurriedly he gave orders to turn about; u 9 slowly turned, and struck a rock with a dull grinding noise. The Russian sighted them and opened fire at the periscope. On his own initiative the engineer trimmed down U 9 to eight metres and suceeded in getting the boat clear of the reef. Spiess, at the periscope, gave up all hope when he saw a torpedo streaking towards him; fortunately for him, it missed and sped away. Night had now come on. In pitch darkness, by dead reckoning and great good luck, they groped their way out of that crazy labyrinth of rocks, reefs, and mine-fields. Next day he balanced accounts by sinking a large Russian auxiliary. By April 1916, U 9 was the doyen of the boats on active service, and joined the other war-worn craft at the Kiel Periscope School.
Das ist so ziemlich alles, was über U 9 unter Spieß in diesem Buch zu finden ist. --Einrotsch 16:20, 21. Mär 2006 (CET)
Hallo! Die U9 von Weddingen hatte keine Petroleummotoren. Sie hatte Schwerölmotoren. (Quelle:"U-Boote ,der U-Boot-Krieg " von David Jordan.) Erkundigen sie sich bitte. Falls ich mich irre dann bitte ich um Verzeihung.
