German submarine explosion: Mysteriously challenging the maritime industry for nearly 100 years

Nearly 100 years after the horrifying German submarine accident, UB-65 became the leading name in the world's largest mystery series.

U-Boat submarine: "Ocean god killer" of the German Navy

Having been judged by British Prime Minister Winston Churchill (1874 - 1965) as one of the most horrifying hazards of the two great wars of the world, the generation of German U-Boat submarines is the very fear of Many merchant ships, enemy ships and submarines across the oceans.

From the manufacturing and efficiency that U-Boat brings, it can be said that U-Boat is the pride, the "ocean gods" of the German Navy in both World War I ( 1914 - 1918) and Monday (1939-1945).

In World War I alone, the German Navy held 360 U-Boat submarines in hand. This 360 "ocean god killer" completely sank nearly 400 enemy submarines, carriers, battleships, cruisers and destroyers.

Fully promoting the effects that can be said as "multi-zi-power" (in economic warfare such as hunting ships or freight ships of England and America; intercepting enemy ships and submarines) , Germany's U-Boat submarine is exactly the scary "hunter" of many wartime countries when traveling at sea.

In the "unprecedented" achievement table, Germany's proud U-Boat submarine is not always in the throne. The submarine disaster called UB-65 is such a testament.

UB-65: Submarine haunting "death curse"

UB-65 submarine is the UB III U-Boat type built by the German Navy in 1916 to serve the First World War. The ship launched on August 18, 1917 under the command of Captain Martin Schelle.

A week after the launch, the UB-65 submarine repeatedly encountered inexplicable "ghosts" .

A series of accidents that caused casualties on this submarine made people think that it was "haunted".

First, during the construction of the ship, a steel beam did not understand why it had fallen so that a worker died on the spot and some people were seriously injured and died several hours later.

Just a few days before the UB-65 was preparing its first voyage, three ship engineers were mysteriously killed in the engineering room.

Then, when the first voyage to the ocean was made in 1917, the UB-65 encountered a great storm that left a crew lost in the sea.

On one of the test dives, the ship's accidents caused the death of two crew members.

He went for a while as "haunted curse " caused sudden and strange deaths for the people involved, in January 1918, UB-65 submarine made a voyage to the Channel to find and kill the enemy ships.

When the captain let the ship float to the surface of the water, the whole crew on that day felt horrified when they saw the image of the crew who had died on board in 1917 at the bow. In an instant, the image of the late sailor gradually faded in the fog.

Scary and mysterious stories begin to spread quickly afterwards. It is said that the German UB-65 is "haunted". Many sailors who used to serve on the ship because they were too scared refused to board the ship despite the strict discipline of the German Navy.

In the end, the German Navy decided to appoint a new captain and ban all those who served at the ship from the bullshit.

After applying the new law, the UB-65 submarine continued to carry out two new missions without encountering any incidents until May 1918, people continued to see images of the dead. on the train. The incident also caused a sailor to disappear forever under the cold water.

Although causing strange accidents and mysteries, the UB-65 submarine still promptly named himself in the achievement tables of destroying enemy ships during World War I: sinking 6 cargo ships and damaging 6 enemy warships.

Until one day.

It seems that all the mysteries and "ghost" images are foreshadowing the terrible destruction.

The most confusing accident in world maritime history

On July 10, 1918, while performing the mission on the Irish coast, the UB-65 submarine suddenly clashed with an American submarine as it surfaced. The "natural and favorable" position along with reports that the German submarine was in trouble, the US submarine captain rushed to prepare the attack.

When the torpedo was about to launch, the German submarine UB-65 suddenly exploded in the unbelievable surprise of American sailors.

The US said, when the clash between German and American submarines in Irish waters, there are no submarines nearby.

This led to a hypothesis, most likely, that the German UB-65 had a problem with the weapons system in preparation for torpedoing the US ship.

All 37 sailors aboard the UB-65 exploded with the ship in the nearly 100-year mystery of the world's maritime industry.

Until 2004, the new UB-65 submarine was discovered by archaeologists. After examining the wreck, the scientists confirmed that the cause of the 1918 self-explosion was not due to a weapon system problem.

Even so, they have not found the cause of the self-exploding UB-65 submarine. This makes the incident one of the biggest maritime mysteries in human history.
