a german abbreviation

[makman94]

hello subsimers,

i am looking for an abbreviation, in german language, for the expression ''Torpedo Muzzle Door''.
the shorter the abbreviation the better it would be

[ivanov.ruslan]

I think "Mündungsklappen" or "Torpklappen"

I think Mdgklappen

For example https://www.world-in-scale.de/modell...lfe-by-revell/

hello Ivanov.ruslan,
Thank you for the suggestions
According to the link you pointed seems that "Torpklappen" is ok,
but according to the de_menu of sh3 seems that ''Mdgklappen'' is ok (the devs used the word ''Mündungsklappen'' in there).
So , between these two abbreviations, which one seems more right for you?
EDIT: what about the abbreviation ''RohrTur'' ? is it making sense ?

thank you for your input Mikey117us but i am searching for an abbreviation for the tube's door (not for a translation)

Here: KTB Notes Vocabulary

For "door" I find this:
Bodenverschluss - Rear door of torpedo tube
Verkleidungsklappe - Outer door fairing

For "muzzle" I find this:
Mündungsfeuerdämpfer - Muzzle
Mundpfropfen - Tampion (muzzle plug)
Mündungsklappe(n) - Bow cap(s) of torpedo tube(s)

Thank you for your search Tycho,
unfotunattely my german is zero and all these are puzzling me even more, so let me explain exactly what i am looking for.
i have a button for opening-closing torpedo tubes and i want to put a label below it.
german language is using (usally) very long words so i am looking for an abbreviation which will make sense for the use of the button

[Tycho]

The German language is complete fog for me.
The button in the game imitate two things - flood the tube and open the door.
If look over "Torpedo launching procedures", I see:

Order:
Ready the tubes from I to IV for submerged shot
(Rohr I bis IV klarmachen zum Unterwassersehuß!)

Report to the control room:
Tubes from I to IV are to be flooded!The muzzle doors are to be opened!
(Rohr I bis IV werden bewässert! Mündungsklappen Rohr I bis IV werden geöffnet!)

Acknowledgement from bow torpedo room:
Torpedo tubes from I to IV ready for submerged shot!
(Rohr I bis IV sind klar zum Unter-wasserschuß!)

So, something with Mündungsklappen is right, but how to abbreviate it I don't know.

Hi makman,

as a few already figured out, "Mündungsklappe" is the correct terminology (more precisley "Torpedorohr-Mündungsklappe" = torpedo tube muzzle hatch).

Possible abbreviations:

Mündungskl.
Mdgkl.
Mü.kl.

or just use "Klappe" followed by the tubes number

Cheers

[makman94]

thank you all guys for your replies
So, the correct word is "Mündungsklappe" (i guess that the -n at the end of the word is for the plural)


@The_frog : ''Klappe'' is fine abbreviation! shorter the better for me

[ivanov.ruslan]

Yes,klappen is plural
