Heh heh, this post needs and deserves a complete response, but as I should already be in bed, that is going to have to wait till morning.The I400 are the biggest in WW2 for WW1 but are there any WW1 subs bigger than U151 ?
(U139 maybe the biggest German that took part but its not that much bigger 3000 v 2200 t so only another 1.5x750 so 1125t cargo and you need 53+ of them at 8.7 million marks each so 461M Marks, for comparison Bayern/Baden cost about 50M Marks each, all from Wiki may be wrong as may be my maths)
Er are you not assuming that anybody had working ASW detection equipment in WW1 or any good ahead throwing weapons to use it ?
IMO both of these would be wrong as soon as you have dived and moved from the original position of contact you are in WW1 pretty safe as long as you can stay down for sufficiently long for the hunter to get bored/recalled to convoy/get dark with no radar ......
Night.
