ss 1 Until the German spelling reform in 1998, an additional rule prescribed that "ss" would never be used at the end of a syllable and be replaced by "ß", even if it followed a short vowel. In other words, "ss" was only used when hyphenation would occur between the two s's. This new usage of "ß" is now standard in Germany and Austria, but Switzerland had abolished the use of "ß" in the 1930s already and uses "ss" in all cases. www.fact-library.com /ss_1.html   (435 words)

V boats   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22) With a length of 319 feet and a displacement only a little more than half that of her threepredecessors, Dolphin was clearly an attempt to strike a happy medium between those latter ships and earlier S-classsubmarines, which were little more than large coastal boats. Interestingly, however, Dolphin’s size and weight were verynearly ideal for the range and duration of the war-patrols that became customary in the Pacific during World War II, and indeed, the war-time Gato, Balao,and Tench classes had similar dimensions. Early in the war, Dolphin herself made three patrols from PearlHarbor without notable distinction, and her deteriorating material condition soon led to restricting her to training duties,first in Hawaii, and then in New London, Connecticut, for the duration of the war. www.therfcc.org /v-boats-344572.html   (2499 words)

U.S. SUBMARINE ENGINES The early 8 cylinder 38A8 was superseded by a 1,365 BHP 8 cylinder 38D-8-1/8 and then by a 9 cylinder, 1,535 BHP 38D-8-1/8; wartime submarines (from SS 381 on) used a 10 cylinder, 1,600 BHP 38D-8-1/8. It was decided to give them names starting with S. Apparently everyone forgot about the old S-type submarines still serving with the fleet, because the class numbers S-1 through S-16 assigned to the new fleet-type submarines duplicated names already held by some of the older S-boats. This source of confusion was ultimately eliminated when the class numbering system was abolished in 1939 and the SS hull numbers were painted on the conning tower fairwater for peacetime identification. www.diodon349.com /US_Subs/US_Submarine_Engines.htm   (3642 words)
