Скачать или смотреть The Sound-Hunting Torpedo That Terrified the Navy

September 1943. The North Atlantic became a hunting ground for a weapon that didn't need perfect aim—it just needed to listen. The German T5 "GNAT" acoustic homing torpedo revolutionized naval warfare by tracking the sound of propellers, turning a destroyer's own speed into a death sentence.
This is the true story of how Nazi Germany's sound-hunting torpedo sank HMCS St. Croix, HMS Itchen, and terrified every escort commander in the Atlantic for six brutal weeks—until the Allies deployed a desperate countermeasure that screamed louder than the ships themselves.
