Hi,was watching the history channel last night.They were showing a documentary on the U-48O,possibly the world's first stealth submarine.It appears it was covered with a rubber coating.which made it undectable by sonar.To test it in action they sent it to middle of the channel in late 1944,were it sank four ships without being dedected then proceeded back to its home base still undected, Unfortunatlely BDU sent it back to the channel were it hit a submerged mine.Anybody have further details on rubber coated U-Boats
