The more primitive the better. In SH3 I love the Type IIs. I would love to sail on an original Holland boat. CSS Hunley I'm not so sure about; 100% loss rate is not so appealing. Turtle might be fun.

I was always fond of a nice wooden 18ft. 1950 Chris Craft Riviera myself

Balao , twould be cool to get one modded with the fairwaters like
the fictitious "Stingray" in Down Periscopehad. then we could get soundbites
made from the movie to cover the dive sequence and we could model
a Blonde female dive officer.

I've tried to get to know other boats too but the S-class is the one for me

Besides, it reminds me about the VIIB from Silent Hunter 3

Hello everybody! My favorite boat has to be the S-class. I like the more primitive boats.

Balao for me. Mainly because of its ability to dive deep.
