...more of a frigid 'tillermann' actually! I tediously went through old chart-displays of all British submarines from 1890-1945, looking for a round-bow sub before concluding it wasn't a class A, B, or C which left only the early US invented Holland class built by Vickers Ltd. for the Royal Navy??!! WHAT"S THIS gizmo?
