Thats the one jim

I reckon,that is probably as accurate as you are ever going to get,to achieve a rubber-like effect for the skin.An excellent effort in my opinion.
I read once that only a small handful of boats had this new coating installed,which baffles me actually,because anything that absorbs at least SOME of the sonar ping is a good thing.Maybe it was too expensive to install for all the boats,or not practical due to the fact that Doenitz demanded an ever increasing number of boats for the Atlantic,and installing it for ALL of them would have slowed his production deadline down?.Actually,I may have read it somewhere in one of my own books 'Iron Coffins' , a great book.
Anyway,cheers for that matey
