		The Type IX German U-boat was the main sea-going submarine of the fleet and they were designed along the lines of U-81 of World War I with some of the better attributes of the Type I already built.
		The "D2" variant of the Type IX U-Boat was the best of the compromises - it had a lot of cargo space, higher surface speed and a tremendous radius of action, due to the additional diesel engines and larger bunkers.
		Once again the Type IX was improved by enlarging the fuel bunkers to increase the radius of action.

	uboat.net - Technical pages - The Elektro boats
		The large Electroboat was initially supposed to replace Type IX boats but after the May 1943 disaster it was obvious that it should also replace Type VII convoy attack boat.
		However, because of the size, Type XXI boat was not suitable for shallow water operations, particularly the North Sea, Black Sea and the Mediterranean.
		This effectively meant that prototypes would be ready only in November 1944 and regular production boats would be ready for operational use in 1946.
