So I know the audio is a little off. I didnt realise until after I recorded that the overhead shotgun mic was almost behind my head. When I listened it sounded a little off but not too bad so I went with it. My sound guy tried to fix it up and we thought about re-recording but I decided against it because it sounded OK. That was probably a mistake and if it happens again, Ill re-record. Thanks for your input. And apologies for the poor quality.

even though they're calling it "operator error" I'd still call it a design defect - it sounds like the crew had to close the values then flip a switch to indicate ready in the control room. The control room should get an electrical signal indicating those doors are all closed, not rely on meat to provide an accurate account of a super-critical state.
@Daedwartin2Күн бұрын
The design defect was the British Admiralty. The K-Class was designed with a steam engine, which doomed it to having poor maneuverability. So naturally, now that the British have a sluggish sub with poor response times on the engine, the Admiralty dictates that the K-Class is to sail in formation with the Home Fleet. Yes, they wanted a submarine to participate in battles like Jutland like it was any other ship. A ship type that at the time was slower and less maneuverable than literally the rest of the fleet even before the poor design of the K-Class gets involved. You better hope you never have fog when the home fleet sets out. Too bad for the Royal Navy, they DID end up having exactly that. K1: Collided with K4 off of the coast of Denmark on Nov 18 1917. Was scuttled to prevent capture. K4: Had said collision with K1. Made it back to port. On Jan 31, 1918, Said Fog happened. K4 was hit by K6 AND then K7. All hands lost. Also, it once ran around in Jan 1917. K5: Lost due to what is believed to be exceeding crush depth on Jan 20, 1921 in a mock battle. K6: Struck K4 due to Said Fog as well as a bunch of other chaos going on that day. Survived with a damaged bow. K7: Struck K4 due to said Fog as well as a bunch of other chaos going on that day. Survived with a damaged keel. Yes, Keel. It ran over the K5. K12: Once got stuck at the bottom of Gareloch. They got lucky and were able to refloat themselves. K13: This video...AND then later due to that SAME Fog and the chaos it caused collded with K14 as K22. Neither sunk K14: See K13 for what happened to it K15: it found a way to sink when moored on Jun 25, 1921 due to hydraulic oil expanding in the heat only to contract overnight that day resulting in the diving vents managing to open. This was a month after having water find its way into the furnaces and making her sink stern first to the bottom, but in that case the crew managed to react quickly enough to resurface the sub K16: Same exact story as K12. K17: The reason K4, K6, K7, K13/22, and K14 ended up crashing into each other was because they were all trying to NOT hit K17. K17 meanwhile was busy trying to not sink due to being hit by a fucking BATTLECRUISER, the HMS Fearless. The class was a fucking disaster story.

The K class were jolly good und wee ain’t tauking no cock effya sleek ills of her! So the test depth was so shallow that she could easily exceed it with her bow while her stern was still half out the water? So she couldn’t turn & regularly collided with shit? So she was quite fond of killing ‘er English crew? So she sometimes exploded if she sprung a leak in the covers over her (retractable) funnels? So the sailors in the boiler room had to work in 15 minute shifts because it was always over like 120 degrees in there? She wuz the King’s Submarine, and it pleasured us English, right?

He fails to make the submarine watertight before diving, drowning half its crew, then escapes and leaves them behind. Was he punished in any way for killing all those men?
