Hehe, not very big are they... like a modern day type II

But looking at the quality of that wreck photo, there's no reason to believe that the uboot isn't real too... after all, its from a site dedicated to underwater photography.

thanks smarag! :up:

Wow! Those are great pictures Smaragdadler, worth the wait for the download ...

A picture truly is better than a 1,000 words ... I didn't even know the Dutch had it in them to have nice submarines.

I know it's not a cafe next to them on the pier, but wouldn't that be cool to tie up next to a cafe
say in Nice, France and say, "Yep, that's my boat babe ... would you like to take a tour"? :cool:

Seems U24 is the U-Boot cheerleader girl of these days. She is on every official Bundeswehr sub-pic that I can find.

Created at a cost of more than U.S. $100,000, the 14-foot-long (4.3-meter-long) contraption is designed to look and move as much like the real thing as possible. It carries a single passenger, who fits inside lying down, propped up on elbows to navigate and observe.

A single diver controls the cameras (shown at far left in yellow) and pilots Fabien Cousteau's shark-shaped sub.

As this diagram shows, the contraption is more of a costume than a vehicle—complete with wagging tail for propulsion. And the pilot is as much diving as he is driving. The interior is filled with water, and all breathing is done scuba-style but with rebreathers, equipment that eliminates bubbles that might blow the diver's cover.

Just to avoid any misunderstandings here, geetrue; the pictures are of German Type 206 submarines, the small ones. The big boat moored in the harbour is a Dutch 'Walrus' Class (ocean going conventional attack submarines).

Very nice pic that last one (sub diving). Translucent water looks great.
