Торпеды и самоходные средства гидроакустического противодействия [2]

G7e — электрическая немецкая торпеда подводных лодок калибра 533 мм, сконструированная в 1929 году. Состояла на вооружении немецких подводных лодок в межвоенный период (с начала 1930-х гг.) и в период Второй мировой войны.

 

Торпеда производилась в 7 модификациях: Т2 (производство с 1929 года), Т3 (с декабря 1942 года), Т3а (середина 1943), Т4 «Фальке» (февраль 1943), Т5 «Цаункёниг» (август 1943), T5b (начало 1944) и Т11 «Цаункёниг 2» (апрель 1944).

 

Introduced in 1942, the T3 represented a vast improvement over the early T2. The faulty exploders from the T2 were scrapped in favor of a new design.

The T3 had a range of 5000 m and could achieve 30 kt. With the improved design of the T3 and the new exploder, the G7a steam torpedo was totally superseded and was rarely used for the remainder of the war.

 

Only known to have been fired in action by three U-boats, U-603, U-758, and U-221, although regarded as successful, resulting in the sinking of several merchants, and its performance rated satisfactory, Falke was rapidly phased out of service. It was replaced by the G7es/T5 "Zaunkönig" (referred to by the Allies as GNAT, for German Naval Acoustical Torpedo), which was faster and better able to home onto the sound of fast moving warships as well as merchant traffic.
