BIODIVERSITY IN SALT MARSHES AND SEAGRASSES: DOES IT MATTER?

A. Randall Hughes, PhD Assistant Professor,

Northeastern University

Biodiversity can provide "insurance" for ecosystems, because diverse communities are more likely to contain a species capable of surviving and recovering from a particular stress or disturbance. Diversity is not limited to differences among species, however, and even differences among individuals of the same species can strongly affect the ability of ecosystems to withstand disturbance. When and where may diversity affect coastal systems such as seagrasses and salt marshes?

U-505: A TYPE IX-C U-BOAT BUILT IN HAMBURG Germany in 1941

Story written by Rear Admiral Gallery and retold by Jack Munro

PART I (published in Nov 13 issue of Air Bubbles) ended when Kaptitan Lieutenant Cszhech and the U-505 finally left Lorient after attempting to leave a couple of times and needing to return for more repairs. “At one hundred twenty feet of water, after charging the batteries, they were bombed over and over again. Cszhech was thinking it was a destroyer, but it was a plane that had spotted them.”

PART TWO

Cszhech figured it had to be oil tanks leaking, but they had been fixed or were they? Sabotage ??? His sound gear and Metox were not working, making the Boat blind and deaf. He would have to go back to Lorient.

After they were back, other things were found wrong and repaired, but the gossip ashore was driving Cszhech crazy and he became a loner. “Bad Luck Boat”

This time going back to sea, other shipyard people and Doenitz’s staff went with them only to find that the main induction leaks and repaired gaskets leaking after just being repairedSabotage??? Back at Lorient they rounded up shipyard workers and inspectors and several were shot in front of others. On September 18th, their fifth departure, the captain and crew were worried about everything, but before going very far the main ballast pumps started blowing fuses and they headed back to Lorient. Nine

months had passed since Trinidad. Now finally back to sea Cszhech was afraid, his XO Meyer had picked up a contact and Cszhech wanted to check it out. They were at 120 feet and Captain Cszhech, frozen with fear, kept saying “they are coming to get us”, over and over again. Then almost on cue the first depth charge went off, knocking lights out and then a flash in the

control room. With emergency lights on, Cszhech had fallen into Myers while he was trying to figure out how to get the boat out of harm’s way. Meyers called to the chief of the watch, “get help for the Captain” who Meyers thought had been knock out.

Myers changed course, speed and depth to avoid more depth charges, just as the chief reported that Cszhech had shot himself.

Willi Bunger (the ostrich) was sobbing uncontrollably when Meyer’s slapped him across the face and pushed him toward his

battle station. At the same time Meyers had the helmsman steady on course and fired two decoys (chemical Noise makers to fool the destroyer topside). The chief yelled to Meyers, “Captain what should we do with him (Cszhech)?” At that moment, Meyers felt like he had a direct commission from “der Führer.” Some men fell apart in mortal danger, others like Meyers rise to

the challenge and he got the boat and crew out of danger. One hour later, Meyers took command of the U-505 after Captain Cszhech died. Back in Lorient Myers report to Doenitz the whole story and was absolved of all blame.

U-505 was again repaired and Doenitz’s staff appointed an older

Captain because of the Bad Luck Boat connotations and other factors, but retained Meyers as Executive Officer with the new Captain Harald Lange. They sailed on December 25, 1943 on a rescue mission of a T-25 German Destroyer which had battled the British that week near Gibraltar. The U-505 rescued thirty-three

survivors including the T-25 Captain onto the Brest on January 1,

1944 to a hero’s welcome, something badly needed by the sub’s crew. In early April, Captain Lange and the U-505 left on war patrol staying submerged two hundred twenty-eight hours and only sixty hours on the surface, versus one year before when Captain Loewe was submerged only thirty-four hours and two hundred fifty- eight hours were on the surface. By this time the Allies had nearly twenty-four hour air cover plus they had the Jeep Carriers to close the Atlantic off to the U-Boats.

U-505 did not venture into the Atlantic but sailed down the African coast in search of ships. In doing so “Lange on U-505” passed very close to the USS Guadalcanal and the task force of destroyers accompanying it. On April 9th, 10th the task force had sunk U-515 & U-68 who were in the same flotilla as U-505. U-505 sighted a British passenger steamer but it was far faster than the U-505 and got away. Dodging aircraft some 6 times and machinery breakdowns U-505 used up their patrol time and

started back north and west, hoping to avoid any task forces nearby. The Guadalcanal was running low on fuel and was heading south and east putting her very close to U-505’s path without either ship knowing it. U-505 had a Radar detection

system called Met ox that was up dated to Naxos at Lorient for newer radar used by the allies but it only told you radar was in use 100ft or 10,000ft away and with so many planes it was alarming all the time.

Captain Gallery was talking to his chief engineer Earl Trosino about fueling up in Casablanca when the USS Chatelaine, one of destroyers called, and said he had a sonar contact on a submarine and was starting a depth charge attack. Chatelaine’s call sign was “Frenchy’’. He had just talked to pilots from Guadalcanal about this contact only minutes before U-505 had been found.

Visit our website at www.northshorefrogmen.com

Air Bubbles January 2014

“Frenchy’’ started dropping 12 6hundred pound depth charges on the U-boat set for shallow depth. U-505 was surprised by gun fire from the planes then depth charges from “Frenchy’’. With the boat leaking everywhere after the torpedo was damaged, Captain Lange’s concern was the crew, getting them out and the hatch shut and sealed. In between depth charges the boat could hear more destroyers coming. Lange’s only chance was to surface the boat and scuttle the boat. He passed the word and

surfaced U-505. As per orders from Captain Gallery, the planes fired 30 and 50 cabler rounds to prevent the U-boat from using the deck gun. As per custom on U-boats, the Captain is the first on the bridge. As Lange reached it, he was shot several times. The second man up was killed. The planes stopped firing but kept flying over as the ships closed in around U-505. In the meantime the U-boat crew was getting off into their rubber boats taking their captain with them. The U-boat was still moving with the rudder jammed, making a slow circle to the right.

The boarding party from the USS Pillsbury was preparing to board U-505 as soon as the German crew left the boat. After planning this with Captain Gallery for close to 1yr the circumstances had never been right until now. To a man, none of the party had ever been on a submarine and had no idea what to expect, but they were going to do it. As one officer went forward and found code books others, like crewmate Laborious, heard water running and found a 6inch seacock open. Fishing in the bilge he found the cover and quickly put it back on and stopped the water flooding the boat. This was repeated by his comrades all over the boat, stopping scatting charges from going off, shutting off water. They were very lucky that the U-boat crew left so quickly, thinking the boat was going to sink any minute. The 2nd boarding party arrived from the Guadalcanal with the Chief Engineer Earl Trosino and his crew. The bridge hatch would not open, and knowing that there could be a vacuum in the boat he grabbed one of the German crew and asked him how to relieve the vacuum. A small valve was pushed and the hatch opened.

The captured U-505 wallowing at dangerously reduced buoyancy as boarding parties from USS Pillsbury and

Guadalcanal handle tow-line from Guadalcanal.

On board Guadalcanal the Uu-505 crew was given food, coffee and

medical attention. Captain Lange was in surgery, as were others hurt during the boarding of U-505. Commander Trosino and his crew got the rudder fixed, pumped out the sea water, got into the after torpedo room, pumped that dry, and got a proper tow line on. And for the first time since the war of 1812 an enemy vessel was taken as a prize of war.

Because the capture of U-505 was now a secret from the Germans, the ships in the task force had to refuel via navy oiler at sea and head for Bermuda with their prize. A special camp was built to house the 59 crewmembers, including Captain Lange, for the rest of the war. The fact that we had up to date code books and a new Enigma machine and other things, we could not let the Germans know or they would change their codes again. Captain Gallery and the entire task force of some 3000 men kept this secret until long after the war was over

When the war was over U-505 was moved to Portsmouth Naval Base along with the surrendered U-boats. At this point the allies were to divide up the U-boats, between the US, England, Russia and France, at 12 boats per country and within 2 years they were to be sunk in deep water or

scrapped. When Gallery found out that U-505 was included he hit the roof. U-505 is a US Navy

WAR PRIZE and should be preserved in a Museum like Chicago’s Science and Industries. The

navy vetoed the scuttling orders: secretary of state Dulles straightened out the Russian Ambassador Mr. Molotov, that it was not surrendered but captured. After all this a committee was formed to move U-505 from Portsmouth NH to the Great Lakes by water, then over land to the Museum of Science and Industries in Chicago. All of this took over 10 years longer than WWII, the building of the U-505, the war patrols and rebuilding of the boat several times, and the internment of the crew. Without the determination and help of countless people and monies raised by the Museum, which had wanted a submarine since 1926 when they opened, this would not have happened.

 

This captured submarine at the Museum of Science and Industry is a tribute to

 

the heroism of our Navy Men, a memorial to the dead, and a stern reminder to

 

the living that control of the seas, so vital to our existence, has been

purchased

 

at a great price.
