Some tech data on the sub -

She's about 900t in displacement, so about the size of a Type IX, but has much shorter range. She did about 18kt on the surface and 9 underwater. Her rated diving depth was about 90m. Armement includes deck gun (105mm?), flak (40 or 37mm?), and 8 torpedo tubes (6 fore, 2 aft. The aft tubes could only be reloaded in port).

A lot of her equipment was operated completely manually, including flooding valves and dive planes.

to be continued...
