„Krążownik” podwodny typu Rekin 1926 (1 szt.)
Oto owoc dość bogatej dyskusji sprzed kilku miesięcy. Nie
ukrywam, że pomijając jego wartość bojową, okręt ten w dużej mierze pełni
funkcję prestiżową. W każdym razie w przyszłości dalszych takich kolosów budować
nie zamierzam.
Jednostka – stosownie do swej wielkości – posiada silne
uzbrojenie torpedowe i artyleryjskie. Prędkość okrętu zarówno na powierzchni,
jak i w zanurzeniu, pozwala skutecznie ścigać większość statków handlowych
przeciwnika; a olbrzymi zasięg (plus duży zapas torped) pozwala na długotrwałe
przebywanie w morzu. Jednostka posiada również zaskakująco dobre – jak na okręt
podwodny – właściwości morskie.
Spodziewając się licznych głosów krytyki, rzucam Wam tego Rekina „na pożarcie”
