第二次世界大战中,在盟国损失的吨位达2100万吨的航运船只中,有1500万吨是被U型潜艇击沉;而盟军击沉U艇781艘,使德国海军编制为38000人的U艇部队中有将近35000人葬身鱼腹。这样的海上胜利绝非偶然,它是许多“小船”对敌人无情猎杀的直接后果。这在很大程度上竟是由一个人的光辉业绩所实现。他,就是英国皇家海军上校约翰·沃克。时至今日,沃克仍被官方誉为:“在从U艇威胁中解放大西洋的战斗中做出最大贡献的人。” 1941年,大不列颠和加拿大在大西洋运输线上调集了400余艘护航舰只,但是U艇的击沉率依然低得令人沮丧:大约每个月击
During the Second World War, 15 million tons of the 21 million tonne loss of shipping vessels lost by allies were sunk by U-shaped submarines; while the Allied forces sunk 781 U-boats and made the German navy 38,000 U-boat forces in the nearly 35,000 people buried in fish belly. Such a maritime victory is by no means accidental; it is a direct result of the reckless killing of many “boats” against the enemy. To a large extent, this is actually achieved by the brilliant performance of one person. He is the British Royal Navy Colonel John Walker. To date, Walker is still officially credited as “the man who made the most contribution in the battle to liberate the Atlantic from the threat of a U-boat.” In 1941, Great Britain and Canada mobilized more than 400 convoy ships on the Atlantic, However, the boat’s sinking rate remains depressingly low: about a monthly hit
