I took an instant dislike to the XXI the moment I drove it out of the showroom. A quick spin around the Bay of Biscay was enough to convince me it just didn't have any.....character, unlike my old tub which I'd had since '41.
Heresy!

The XXI puts you back on the offensive again! I charge into convoys. I sneak up on them, but when I'm detected I go full speed right into them. 17 knots submerged! I cut through that convoy like a slalom skier! I've been known to bring along as many as 20 acoustic homing torpedoes to wipe out escorts. But even without, at 17 knots the can't set up a good DC run on you. Gotta watch those damn hedgehogs though.
