Just finished watching the Military Channel's first program on Subs. (All week long at 8 PM EST) The American Gato class only came in third.
Some questions on specs. They give the Gato 10 Bow tubes???? and a complement of 60 men!!!! They should have contacted our fourm to get a better understanding of our WWII subs!
Interesting that a German WWI and the VII of WWII class boats both made the top ten, with their WWII VII as the top sub of all time! All in all the German subs did play a huge roll in both wars with huge success at the begining of each "kampf".
Interesting program though. The Typhon class of the Soviet Union was one "big mama".
Happy Hunting
