RE: Falling bombs and the rise of a nation : Catching submarines
Hmm, that's a good question...I believe the official measurement was actually bloody huge!
I'll have to look it up to be honest. I would say probably forearm-sized in diameter though I guess.
That would be my wild-ass guess too. lol. Surely they have a section of it in a museum or somewhere?
None of the cable or net survives, only the winch like I mentioned in the post. I have seen the anchor point on one side of the harbour though, and even then not much remains.
That thing was so massive that I figured someone had a piece of it somewhere. Too bad but stuff happens.
I think it got recycled...Post war stuff was at a premium i guess so they needed to make use of what was available.
Yeah that makes perfect sense sir galenkp.
It happened a lot all around the world actually. The wherewithal left over from war got recycled. I guess it still happens. I'm on the scout for a surplus cruise missile, guidance system and nuke warhead myself actually...😂🙈
lol..man, that's some serious shopping there! Some serious hardware. lol.
Haha, just in case the neighbours give me trouble...
