for me it's the concept of V-2's being launched from U-boats>Plans for the rocket U-boat involved an attack on New York City using newly invented V-2 rockets; Unmanned and unpowered containers with V-2 rockets inside were to be towed within range of the target by a conventional U-boat then set up and launched from its gyro-stabilized platform. With thoughts of hitting targets in the United States and in the United Kingdom, a 32 m (105 ft)-long container of 500-tons displacement was to be towed behind a submerged U-boat. the photo shows what i believe is a type XXI towing the container but i think i read that they had plans with the type IX as well

>>64198684The Henschel Hs 293 Anti-Ship Missile.>MCLOS via Radio link>Wire-guided and TV feed variants worked on but not finishedI wonder what the German's might've done if they didn't waste so much damn money and time on the V-2, and focused on more practical uses for V-1 and accepted the fact in the interwar that they were not ever going to have a surface fleet that could compete with the Bongs (you know, the lesson they should've taken away from Jutland). Imagine if they even just managed to launch these things from S-boots.
>>64198684My own invention:A small North Korean submarine just big enough to mount a center line/spinal mount Koksan cannon, sort of like the dynamite gun on on the USS Vesuvius. It would poke it's nose out of the water, obliterate a coastal target then relocate and do it again. It would only be around 500-600 tons displacement, it would not be hard to make or expensive and it would be very annoying.Especially if they were sold in large numbers.

>>64198964>500-600 tons>not expensiveIgnoring all the other difficulties with your choice of armament for an obligatory ambush predator, it's not happening at anything less than ~1000 tons surface displacement because submarines have physical ballast and buoyancy constraints, similar to the challenges of mounting large aircraft cannon. Furthermore, small conventional designs like the Type 206 were the product of treaty limitations; free of constraints 1200-1500 ton displacements are much preferred even for cheap, specialized Baltic/SCS/Malacca designs.
>>64199674I was thinking of something like a Sango but with a double wide hull, kinda like a tiny typhoon which could be around 800-1000 depending on the length. That would effectively give you twice the space for ballast systems and significantly more buoyancy. It would also provide enough space for the recoil system that would several times that of the land based version while still allowing for torpedo tubes. The tubes probably wouldn't be reloadable but that didn't stop the Yono that sank the worst korean frigate.I know the concept probably isn't practical and it would have only one real use namely suppressing coastal ASMs, i just think it would be cool looking.
>>64198684its an interesting weapon because while most historians say the V-2 was complete waste of resources, the mere threat of launching them from u-boats caused US to start torturing German submariners
