Looking for Deckplans...Profiles

cj95 · 07-09-08, 07:52 AM

Hey all.....

Anybody know of a good resource for WWII Sub deckplans and crossections?

Specifically I am looking for the internal arrangement of the S-18 class boats, but really have not even found good scematics of any sort.

Im just trying to figure out how everyone fit inside those darn tin cans. LOL Thanks

CJ,

When I hear S-Boats mention I think of this build by Mario Grima at Model Warships.com:

Try contacting Mario to see if he has any suggestions for S-Boat data. I think he can be reached through the Iron Bottom Sound modeling site:

Also try this site (Navsource) for S-Boat information. Scroll down to the S-Boat listings and you can get some specific information to indivual boats.

For example, here's a cut-a-way side image of an S-Boat taken from the SS-1 listing:

Try Taubman's Plans and check the plans section on the subcommittee website.

Floating Drydock is another source.

I have done business with both Taubmans and Floating Drydock. Both are reputable companies.
