nope you're way too far west; but both vessels are on an even Keel...after considerable effort!

On 12 June 2017, a 6-by-8-inch (15 by 20 cm) hole about 15 feet (4.6 m) below the waterline caused the ship to list (tilt) six degrees to the starboard side. After emergency repairs, crews pumped out about 2,000 US gallons (7,600 l) of water per minute out of the ship for more than 15 hours.

Hmm, i visited HMS Belfast, but while it may have such a part fitted somewhere, i saw it somewhere else - but where lol


edit: rear plug for torpedo tubes, like in U 995?How do you translate "Torpedo Ausstosskolben". ~ "t. ejection piston" ?

yup; and my apologies for being late. My mancave HP computer died at midnight; so I'm ordering(my tech savvy wife actually)a new setup and doing this post from my Samsung Verizon tablet. The well-worn machine had been faltering gamely for a year, the local wizkid shop having declared it unsavable, so I stored everything on a flash drive in anticipation of the final "boot disk not detected" that appears on my screen.

I just caught your edit; precisely! My "12 gauge to a 'ma deuce' .50 " thread,, post 48, photo 12; has the photo of U-995 and all details. The piston was evolved to prevent pressure air bubbles from giving away a submerged U-boat's position. Transferring photos on this tablet is beyond my limited abilities or I'd do it.. Over to Catfish!...and I kept it simple!...to any trueer!

Well i guessed right, and learned a thing or two while reading through the torpedo plug threads

Since Aktung's pc is temporarily o.o.o. ..
This is the rear torp. tube of U-995, the plug is stored at the right and only partially visible:




Be back with something soon, if i find anything new

I guess it should not be too difficult..
With a distant relation to something that happened to a friend's ancestor, only a tiny footnote of history.

Some hints in this picture i guess..
