![]() Type VIIC U-boats are medium sized mixed construction boats. The volume of fuel oil tank 1(internal) was increased from 32.5 m³ in the type VII B to 37.9 m³ in the type VII C. This was achieved by moving the aft bulkhead of main ballast tank 3 one frame forward. Surface range was improved by increasing the fuel oil capacity of fuel oil tank 1 (internal). Diving characteristics, especially in heavy seas, were improved by adding pressure-proof negative buoyancy tanks forward of the port and starboard regulating tanks.Ĥ. Related to above changes, the quite constricted type VII B conning tower dimensions were increased in width by 60 mm and length by 300 mm.ģ. The type VII C boat was lengthened by one frame.Ģ. This space was obtained by lengthening the control room by the distance of one half frame forward of, and one half frame aft of the search periscope. New electronic and communication equipment required more space to install. Nevertheless, even before war time there were attempts to make some other improvements, which eventually led to the Type VII C U-boat:ġ. They fulfilled all requirements completely. The Type VII B U-boats came into service during peace time, but after war broke-out in 1939, they proved their outstanding utility as a prefect front-line submarine. These boats which together formed U-Flotilla "Wegener" (1938) had the aft torpedo tube inside the pressure hull and also some diving and operational improvements and greater propulsion plant performance as a result of installed superchargers. This boat was developed into the Type VII B (displacement 517 tons). Their main distinguishing characteristic was the aft torpedo tube on the upper deck. The first medium size U-boats of the German Navy were the Type VII U-boats (displacement 500 tons) of U-Flotilla "Saltzwedel" (1936). ![]() By the time the rookie crosses the goal line, he immediately settled in his route, turned to locate the ball, and it was in his hands before the Vikings’ defensive backs could close. Goff, who recognized the off coverage from the safety, had already begun his throw when St. Brown, and the rookie ran a shallower route, creating a throwing window for Goff. But, unlike the defenders on the opposite side, the safety was further off his coverage of St. Like on the opposite side with Reynolds, the outside corner played the boundary and the safety had inside responsibilities. That left an outside corner and an over-the-top safety for St. On the right side, the outside corner and safety double-teamed Reynolds and locked him up in the end zone.īoth Hockenson and Raymond ran to the middle of the end zone drawing the attention of the three defensive backs on the goal line and the safety in the center of the end zone. Despite the pressure in his face, Goff hung tight in the pocket and stepped into his throw. The Vikings deployed and rushed just three defensive linemen, dropping five into coverage at the goal line, and a three safety umbrella coverage over the top.īoth Taylor Decker and Penei Sewell locked up their edge rushers, but the Vikings' nose tackle was made his way through the A-gap between center Evan Brown and right guard Halapoulivaati Vaitai. Josh Reynolds was the lone receiver to the right side of the formation and Jamaal Williams was in the backfield. Brown on the perimeter, Kalif Raymond to his right, and T.J. 6, 2020 and hasnt beaten Minnesota in eight games. Detroit has not won a regular season game since Dec. The Lions come out with three wide left, St. Game notes: The Lions can end two ugly winless streaks with a victory today. Lions had the ball on the 11-yard line with four seconds remaining and one chance to secure the victory. An incomplete pass brought the game down to a final play. Brown set them up with third-and-2 with eight seconds remaining from the 11-yard line. Eventually, the Lions made it into the red zone with just 13 seconds remaining. Goff was methodical, taking the easy completions and moving the ball down the field. The Lions got the ball back with 1:50 remaining in the game down 27-23, needing a touchdown to win and 75 yards away from paydirt. Unfortunately, Jared Goff was sacked and fumbled the ball, giving the Minnesota Vikings the ball in the red zone with a chance to gain the lead-which they achieved on a Justin Jefferson touchdown. The Lions got aggressive and decided to go for it. Up 23-21 with 4:08 remaining in the game, the Lions were faced with a fourth-down play at their own 28-yard line. Brown-the first of his career-securing a 29-27 win.īefore we break down the play, let’s set the table. The Detroit Lions finally secured their first victory on the season with a walk-off 11-yard touchdown reception by rookie Amon-Ra St. It’s not inconceivable that the Lions could be one of the main hurdles between the Eagles and a return trip to the big game next season. |
