On the first picture, I see someone wearing a white hat, are they keeping the tradition for the Captains to wear the white summer hat?

Oooo, pretty! Very nice-looking sub. Does it come with cupholders and automatic parallel parking?

I believe the skippers still wear white hats.

Hello,
@Krashkart

" ... Oooo, pretty! Very nice-looking sub. Does it come with cupholders and automatic parallel parking ..."

Yes, but it is a chore to handle - it has the BMW central control knob for all functions:
Turn it to get to the menus, press it for a 1/4 second full speed ahead, pressing it for a 1/2 second and it shoots all torpedoes, but the latter only on sunday, otherwise it automatically raises a white flag and sets course to Loch Ryan.

And it has tinted windows, if only in the export version

Greetings,
Catfish

You obviously never seen one of your Type 206s...

You just don't understand the art of the 206.

Catfish · 05-03-10, 02:10 AM

Hello,
the type 206 was foremost a surface ship, but it was considered as being so ugly, that the naval forces said they could only stand it submerged.
When a type 206 surfaced near a US carrier the flattop captain was very furious, because it was so ugly

" ... Während eines Manövers in der Karibik durchbrach ein deutsches Diesel-U-Boot (U 24) den angeblich undurchdringlichen Abwehrring um den US-Atom-Flugzeugträger "Enterprise", feuerte aus günstigem Schusswinkel einen simulierten Torpedofächer ab, fotografierte den 75 000-Tonner durch das Angriffssehrohr und tauchte dann ohne Vorwarnung unmittelbar neben dem Riesenziel auf. Der US-Admiral soll außer sich gewesen sein. ..."

The Type 212 is a beautiful design and looks like having a pretty diverse capability when the planned upgrades are fitted in the next 2/4 years.

That's a Greek sub if i'm not mistaken.
That will be for sale shortly, so they can pay back their loans quicker
