Help identify small german submarine

[Kalleblom]

I will not clear the appropriate why a "hydrogen refueling station for fuel cell powered submarines" has to look like a submarine itself

It clearly is a submarine, but perhaps he meant that the midget submarine was fueled by cell powered?

Looks to me more like a liquid tank than a submarine.

Based on the shape visible from above and the direction of the shadows it is possible to see that the rectangular area emits the elevated part of the shadow.



Since the total length is 17 meters it is also possible to calculate the individual length of the different parts of the device. Above is what I belive the shape as seen from the side, more or less correct in scale.

The tower is located at 8.5 meters from the stern, that is, at the exact middle of the device.

Just did a Google Images search for "Kiel submarine" and this fits the description you are giving:

It is the Greek submarine S-120 Papanikolis in October 2009

Thanks for your reply. The S-120 (or Type 214) looks a bit similar, however it is much larger with 65 meters compared to the very small device above with a length of only 17 meters.

Thanks Vendor, I will contact him.
