Yep, although if the UK had been removed from hostilities, it might
just
about have been feasible to get a GZ into position to launch some sort
of
Doolittle-type sneak raid on the USEC.

I saw a documentary that said the Germans were building a submersible
trailer for a U-boat that could launch a V-2.

They quite possibly did. According to reports in 1944, three U-boats
U-24, U-9 and U-19 equipped with rocket launchers were allegedly
deployed against Soviet harbor facilities and moored ships during the
German retreat. If this is true it was the first combat use of a
submarine-launched missile.

It would have to be a dammed small missile.

Those were type IIb boats and at only 140 ft long and displacing
around 300 tons they didnt have a lot of disposable space.

If they fired anything bigger than a Panzerschreck I'd be amazed.

Some interesting info he
