Sm - cool photos - thanks.
Does the torp tube photo reveal the latest German 'secret weapon' - manualy steered torpedos ? :hmm: Nice pin-ups, and very pleased to see chip consumption - a 'healthy' disregard for pc health issues. The unused plate is a sinister confirmation of the fact that the sailor controlling that torp will be late for his meal - if indeed he ever returns. (No reflection on the grub cook !) From the Brass smirk is the follicaly challenged politico appealing for the return of his toupee ? Anyways it shows a healthy disregard for those we empower.

Fantastic pics of the sharpest looking modern Diesel submarine.
One near the bottom you posted would make nice wallpaper. So sad so small...

I have a model of the Type 212 but I think I need to start again.
I think the stern isn't steep enough on my model. I'll post pics so you can comment. |

www.naval-technology.com is wrong in this case, yesterday on German TV there was a long report about this sub and the HDW technicans said that the small diesel genrator is only use to recharge the batteries in case of technical breakdown of the power cell device and that there is no way to operate the screw directly by this diesel.
*Edit* the blue pic above is the right pattern of the drive system |

The diesel is used to *recharge* the batterie. So you have the possibility to drive longer distances... (as far as I understand this...)

Diesel engine still is main source for recharging batteries! And AIP is just to extend time underwater when batteries are out of juice.Also Hydrogen Oxygen cell engine is to power electrical devices.
