PHANTOMS OF THE DEEP PDF, EPUB, EBOOK Jonathan Morris,Tom Baker,Mary Tamm,John Leeson | none | 31 May 2013 | Big Finish Productions Ltd | 9781781780589 | English | Maidenhead, United Kingdom Phantoms of the Deep | Oak Island Wiki | Fandom The concept was the brainchild of Hellmuth Walter, an exceptional German engineer, who first presented it to the Kriegsmarine in A standard U- boat electric-drive system used storage batteries to power motors when the sub was underwater, but battery capacity limited its speed and range. Walter reasoned that a submarine with a streamlined hull, driven by a hydrogen peroxide-fueled turbine, could power well past those limits. Heated hydrogen peroxide would generate steam, which would spin turbines connected directly to the propellers. The result would be much higher speeds and endurance that could be measured in days, not minutes. Promising experimental versions were already in the works. During trials of prototype V in , the foot sub hit speeds of 28 knots submerged—nearly four times faster than standard U-boats. In January the Kriegsmarine contracted the construction of four small Walter coastal patrol subs. Their keels were laid down that September. The admiral asked the professor how long it would take to build a full-size, ocean-going Walter Boat. Walter had disappointing news: the four small submarines were still months away from launching; a big U-boat would take years. But a pair of German navy construction experts in attendance saw a quicker way to build a more capable submarine. Forget hydrogen peroxide, they told the admiral. Keep the streamlined form, use a conventional diesel and electric power plant, and fill the bottom hull with three times as many storage batteries as in standard U-boats, giving the new submarine a considerable increase in underwater endurance.

With its hydrodynamically smooth hull—bereft of deck guns, anchors, cleats, and other protuberances—and a huge battery array in the lower hold that provided current to a pair of powerful electric motors, the Type XXI Elektroboot would have a submerged speed of nearly 18 knots—a rate it could maintain for over 90 minutes. By contrast, the highest speed an American fleet submarine could run underwater was less than nine knots for about an hour. When the admiral was satisfied with the design, he asked his Construction Branch how long it would take to get the Type XXI operational. Building the prototypes would take at least a year and a half, and debugging, a similar span. That meant serial manufacturing could not commence before late And that meant the new submarine would not be battle-ready before the end of By early Britain and the United States had become so proficient at finding and sinking enemy submarines that they were setting records: in May , they destroyed 45 U-boats—five on May 6 alone. The Kriegsmarine could not sustain such losses; its shipyards could replace only 26 submarines a month. But he needed dozens of them in service —yesterday. Luc Braeuer via Schiffer Books. The ministry called for skipping the prototype phase and going straight to building war boats—a risky path. To further speed things up, the Type XXIs were to be built from eight prefabricated hull sections. Loved the interaction of Romana and the doctor in this audio.

Dec 25, Aidan rated it really liked it Shelves: audioplays , doctor-who. An inventive, creative outing for the Fourth Doctor and Romana that finds inspiration in one of the most underutilized settings - the depths of the ocean. Morris does not rely solely on the setting to deliver interest - he crafts one of the more intriguing alien lifeforms in recent years for the Doctor to encounter and try to understand. The result is a story that has a strong, unique identity and that never exhausts its welcome. May 10, Mel rated it it was amazing Shelves: audio- book. I throughly enjoyed this, without a doubt my favourite of the Tom Baker and Mary Tamm audios so far. The story felt quite different but managed to be spooky and was easy to visualise as an episode. Alice Krige was wonderful As always. K9 was brilliant! There were cool hyper- intelligent squid. Definitely recommended!

The Doctor takes great exception to K. Posh Girl: One day Romana intends to write a thesis on the Doctor, in particular exploring his levels of sanity. When Romana attempts to resuscitate the Doctor she asks that he surely wont do anything as mundane as dying. I really like the idea of an underwater adventure and since Warriors of the Deep and I would argue Cold War too failed to capture the claustrophobia of such a location it is still wide open for Morris to exploit. Super intelligent squid capable of communicating through symbolic logic, a pleasing concept given that we have barely explored the depths of the ocean and there could be anything in existence down there. Discovering a derelict submarine under the water excites me because by exploring its rusting interior the Doctor is potentially looking into what the future holds for the crew of the Erebus. The phantoms of the ocean are an illusion, created by an alien spacecraft nestled on the seabed. The submariners are being tested for their psychic potential, just as the squid were and their brain power is being massively increased. It was built to reconstruct a race memory of a long extinct race, programmed to find the most intelligent species and increase their mental capacities to a point where they can be used as receptacles. The phantoms are the ghosts of species that built the ship, whispering in their minds. The spacecraft gave Jack the power of telekinesis and kept him alive for over a years. With his powers his fears can become a reality and could potentially tear the Erebus apart. Audio Landscape: Underneath the sea, bubbling waves rolling past, sonar scanner, the Erebus churning through the water, along the sea bed, a robotic claw grabbing hold of the TARDIS, the creaking hull as the pressure drops, water dripping, K. Perhaps if each release was three episodes long we would get ample time to explore both narrative and character with equal depth. There is something very dramatic about the way that Gerald Blake shoots the metal dog up close and personal that makes him appear alien and unknowing. Jonathan Morris taps into that sense of menace with his excellent cliffhanger, K.
