The only small advice I could give is about the speed of the various models: According to the informations found on Dallies-Labourdette s-boot bible and at German-navy.de, the various top speeds should be as follows:
S-7: 36.5-37 kts
S-14: 39.8 kts (for the mercedes-engined boats,the first four man-engined ones were slightly slower)
S-26:same as s-14
S-38: 41-41.5kts ( a lot of boats recorded top speeds of 42 knots pushing engines beyond their factory limitations )
S-38b: 39.5-40kts. The heavy armored cupola takes a toll of 2 knots.
S-100 ok as it is (42kts)
S-700: 44kts ( Assuming that we have 3 out of the six 3000hp engines ever produced during wartime )

However, you are our sole and magnificent leader...Only you knows what is better for us.
Speak and we will built an Ark...with Mercedes engines!:rotfl:

Have a nice Week end Mike!
