Nice work, Ducimus! It reads like an old sea shanty.

Reasons to love the IX
1. Extra Torpedoes & two stern tubes
2. Greater Range: Less time in port, more diverse patrol areas
3. 105mm Deck Gun is much more effective than the 88mm
4. 37mm Flak Gun can take down all small craft and aid in the sinking of larger ones
5. Greater Surface Speed
Granted, the IX aren't as maneuverable as the VII boats, but I think they more than make up for this in terms of their increased effectiveness as weapons of war.
Good luck!
