Besides, a XB might be interesting, but I'd get bored playing a XIV. The Type XXIII is perfect for late war close to the British Isles: Small, quick, agile, and a crash dive time in the single digits. It's the ultimate 'sneak into a harbor' boat. The last two ships sunk by a U-boat in WWII were sunk by a single Type XXIII inside the Firth of Forth. Not bad for having only two 'eels'. Another interesting fact: None of the XXIII 'fronteboot' were sunk by enemy action. Six boats made 10 patrols from January to May 1945, and none of them were sunk. A comparable effort by Type VIIC's, or even IID's, would have resulted in most of the boats being sunk. There is even a better case for the Type XXIII than the XXI: No XXI boat sank an enemy ship, and only two had just started patrols when the war had ended. But other than that, I completely agree with you...

I would like to be in the type VII club. maybe we could name it something gawdy like how the type IX club calls themselves "exclusive."
here are some power-words: 1. the high speed, low drag type VII club 2. the elite type VII club 3. nevermind, I like #2 the best. |
