Real Submarine Technology & History Q&A

Hello everybody. I've been playing SH 4 for a little while, but am new to the forum. This is a great place and I always learn something here.

First, I would like to thank DaveyJ, and all the other Vets, not only for their service, but for the infornation and insights they provide.

Second, I have a few questions about the S-boats.

Patrol Endurance. How long could they remain at sea? Apart from fuel considerations how much food could they carry?
Battery Capacity. How far could they go while submerged? In 1941, were their batteries degraded or had they recieved refits before wartime deployment?
Surface Speed. How fast could they go in heavy seas? In SH4 they can plow through rough seas with little problem, but it seems to me this is a game flaw.

Thanks in advance.
