The Loss of the German Submarine Early Theories The most effective and successful branch of the German By John Chatterton, Richie Kohler, and John Yurga Navy in World War II was the U-boat arm. Hitler feared he would lose in a direct confrontation with the Royal Navy, so the German surface fleet largely sat idle at anchor. Meanwhile, the U-boats and their all- volunteer crews were out at sea, hunting down enemy vessels. They sank the merchant vessels delivering the Allies’ much-needed materials of war, and even were able to achieve some success against much larger enemy warships.

The project is designed to provide significant additional energy interconnection between Ireland, the UK and continental Europe with the aim of delivering increased security of supply, fuel diversity and greater competition. It is also designed to provide additional transmission network capacities, reinforcing the existing electricity grids in south-east Ireland and south Wales. The study area is approximately 160km in length and spans the St George’s Channel, including areas of landfall in Ireland and Wales. Its westernmost section intercepts the Hook Peninsula in County Wexford and the easternmost section incorporates an area of land surrounding Freshwater West Beach in Pembrokeshire.

    Archives of Toxicology (2020) 94:1941–1953 https://doi.org/10.1007/s00204-020-02743-0 REGULATORY TOXICOLOGY “Don’t Blast”: blast‑in‑place (BiP) operations of dumped World War munitions in the oceans signifcantly increase hazards to the environment and the human seafood consumer Edmund Maser1 · Jennifer S. Strehse1 Received: 13 February 2020 / Accepted: 6 April 2020 / Published online: 18 April 2020 © Springer-Verlag GmbH Germany, part of Springer Nature 2020 Abstract The seas worldwide are threatened by a “new” source of pollution: millions of tons of all kind of warfare material have been dumped intentionally after World War I and II, in addition to mine barriers, failed detonations as well as shot down military planes and sunken ship wrecks carrying munitions. For example, in the German parts of the North and Baltic Sea approxi- mately 1.6 million metric tons of toxic conventional explosives (TNT and others) and more than 5000 metric tons of chemical weapons are present. Such unexploded ordnance (UXO) constitutes a direct risk of detonation with increased human access (fsheries, water sports, cable constructions, wind farms and pipelines). Moreover, after more than 70 years of resting on the seabed, the metal shells of these munitions items corrode, such that chemicals leak out and distribute in the marine environ- ment. Explosive chemicals such as TNT and its derivatives are known for their toxicity and carcinogenicity. In order not to endanger today’s shipping trafc or the installation of pipelines and ofshore plants by uncontrolled explosions, controlled blast-in-place (BiP) operations of these dangerous relics is a common practice worldwide.

Definition of UneXploded Ordnance (UXO) is given by United Nations as follows: «…explosive ordnance that has been primed, fused, armed, or otherwise prepared for use and used in an armed conflict. It may have been fired, dropped, launched or projected and should have exploded but failed to do so» Found UXOs originate from three principal sources: 1. Military training exercises (abandoned gunnery ranges, naval warfare exercises); 2. Accidental disposal due to poor working practices during munitions handling and transportation, or other accidental events (shipwreck, crash landing, ecc.); 3. Wartime ops during armed conflicts (WWI and WWII mainly), including: • Naval ship bombing and torpedoing events; • Anti-submarine warfare; • Long range shelling (naval gunnery, coastal artillery); • Munitions deliberately placed as means of area denial (naval mine fields); • Munitions deliberately sunk by warring armies to avoid enemy appropriation. 3 Effects of Underwater Explosion on Pipeline Integrity - Pavia, November 21st, 2014 UNEXPLODED ORDNANCES – WARTIME ORIGINS AERIAL BOMBING ANTI-SUB WARFARE NAVAL MINEFIELDS WARSHIP ARTILLERY TORPEDOES DEPTH CHARGE MINES ARTILLERY SHELLS AERIAL BOMBS 4 Effects of Underwater Explosion on Pipeline Integrity - Pavia, November 21st, 2014 UNEXPLODED ORDNANCES – WHERE?
