I ignored all the just after launch pictures and concentrated on the ones of the ships at sea and on sea trials. Those pictures are all similar with small variations due to wave conditions and ship speed. As a check I looked at post commission in port pictures to confirm the look of the subs in the water. The pictures I used are representative of that work and the clearest views to use. Many of the other photos needed manipulation to enhance the details to confirm my determination of the proper look. The seas had to be quite rough in order to show the top torpedo tube.
As a side note, the stock screenshots shown are similar to the post launch pictures taken after the buntings were removed.
For the screen shots I started a career when each sub class was available, calmed the sea and saved. I restarted the saves and took the stock screen shots. I loaded the mod and used the same saves to take the screen shots under the same conditions. I used FooBor's sub skins but compared the results with a completely stock skin set and saw no difference. PE4 was used because I could not get calm seas with the stock game setup for consistent results.
