Dnag, I was in Speyer a couple of days last week. Never knew there was a sub there :-?

It's a type 205 submarine, old and rusty but still worth a look or two :yep:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Type_205_submarine

The wikipedia link shows currently even the picture of U-9.

This type was in use with the german Bundesmarine and the dansk Kongelige Dansk Marine.

If I remember right it had the primary task's of
*) forward defence against ampib assault in the baltic
*) denying warshaw pact navies access from the baltic to the northsea
*) recon and supply line interruption close to enemy shore

just a quick question; what are the sub named after? because in swedish torsk means cod...

The only subs that I have been on is the one in my sig (U3) that is on display at a museum in Malmo, Sweden and another sub when I was really young (dont remember what sub it was) :D


Yes, cod. They were running out of fish with the English word for them so turned to the same type fish but used the word for them from different languages.

I was on USS Batfish when I was in grade school. Don't really remember anything about it so I have to go back soon. I drive past it several times a year. Wish I'd known about that reenactment MJS was in.
Been on every version of the Disneyland/DisneyWorld subs.:|\\

First, I've been on the U-505 at the Museum of Science and Industry, in Chicago! Not quite old enough to have served on her, however ...

I was also on the USS Silversides (SS-236, Gato-class, commissioned 15 December, 1941), prior to the boat getting Mayor Daley's boot in 1987. You can see this boat in Muskegon, Michigan.

I've also ... along with several other persons ... been picked up by a 688. However, I can't tell you which boat, the year it happened, or the circumstances.

Subs I have been on.
 
Yep, I forgot, "Holland I" at Gosport.

Tarnsman 12-14-07 02:10 AM

An active duty diesel boat on a goodwill tour when I was very young. The U-505, most recently just before she was renovated. And the USS Torsk, I got to look around by myself since no one else was on the tour at the time. Man it was like being in "Run Silent Run Deep" very cool. US boats really had a different feel about them than the Uboats.

John W. Hamm 12-14-07 05:27 PM

Only one
 
Myself and my fiance have been to the USS Batfish 2 times (because she loves me) on the second trip (about 3 weeks ago) we took my 10 y/o son, and we took lots of pictures. there is just something cool about being on a subamrine that is in a land locked state and sitting in the middle of a field ;)

rasmus1896 12-15-07 05:10 PM
