one other factor: most of the VIC's were built and saw Navy service from 1944 to 1946. The Uboat menace was considerably altered past 1943. Additionally the total depth of the smaller vessel is shown as 9 ft. In examining the photos, hull freeboard is approx 6 ft, leaving a draft of 3 feet...hardly a suitable shot for an expensive Nazi 'eel' late in the war. In looking at at uboat sinkings by ship class and type, no VIC's are shown. The best defense for a puffer was literally its designation:...being Inshore. Sometimes too inshore; several puffers are depicted "on the rocks" of the English shoreline.
