S-100
TORPEDO BOAT
The S-100 class
was the most lethal of all torpedo boats. It is very
seaworthy, heavily armed and capable of sustaining 43.5
knots. These boats were primarily used by Germany during
WWII to patrol the Baltic Sea and the English Channel in
order to intercept shipping heading for the English
ports in the south and east.
S-100
boats emerged from the North Sea mist, launched their
torpedo's and disappeared. That's why they were called the "Greyhounds of the Sea". During World War II,
they sank 12 destroyers, one
submarine, 11 minesweepers, a minelayer, eight landing
ships, a torpedo boat, six MTBs. They also
downed 101 merchant ships, and damaged two cruisers, five destroyers, three landing
ships, a repair ship, a naval tug and numerous merchant
vessels. Sea mines laid by the S-100 boats sunk 37 merchant ships, a destroyer, two minesweepers and four
landing ships.
These 115' long diesel-engine
S-100 crafts also had much longer range than the gasoline-fueled American
PT boats (700 vs 213 nautical miles). Unlike
allied PT boats, German S-100 boats were much sleeker and
had a deeper round bottom
design, more suitable for heavy seas.
In August of 1945, future US president
John F. Kennedy visited defeated Germany with US Navy
Secretary James Forrestal. As a former PT boat captain,
he was naturally interested in the German counterpart so
he made a point of carefully inspecting an "E-Boat" at
Bremen. Kennedy's diary records his conclusion:
the Schnellboot was "far superior to our PT boat."
