The system worked superbly and was not a time bomb at all. One was even used by the Royal navy after the war and it was renamed the HMS Meteorite.

IIRC the Royal Navy dropped that design and research line precisely because of the dangers involved :hmm: I think even some explosions were registered while doing tests with the design  |
I have some info on the XVIIb, but cannot find a type XVIII. Becuase according the U Boat archive the (17b and the Wa201 did have similar hull designs, but the 21 boats were twice the size. I am putting together a photo scrapbook of U boats and if you source me to some info on the XVIII it would be great! Thanks
