Thank you very much Basilio for sharing that with us. It amazes me how much attention the americans have payed to crew confort..as opposed to german side. These Balao's must have been a little heaven for submariners... Also, I find the superstructure a little too crowded...looks more like a destroyer able to dive...rather than a submarine. The type VII and IX were less fitted with equipment ? Or is this Balao a late war sub ? There is much more radio and stuff equipment there, than on any other german sub.
