A bump for Keltos: PLANS!!!

Found some plans on this site:

http://www.rnsubs.co.uk/index.php

Specifically as part of this article:

http://www.rnsubs.co.uk/Boats/BR3043/contents.php

Covers pre WW1 A Class all the way up to the Porpoise class minelayers. The plans are reproduced to a large scale, just as well as they're a wee bit fuzzy!

Example - Group 1 S Class subs:

Plan as built - by WW2 the retractable gun and superstructure had been removed and replaced by a conventional gun on the casing:

HMS/m Sturgeon as built:

As at the start of WW2:

Only four boats in this group and three had been sunk by the end of 1940!

Hope this helps!

Mike.
