	Type VII U-boat - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The type VIID boats, designed in 1939 and 1940, were a longer version of the VIIC with three banks of five vertical tubes just aft of the conning tower, rather like a modern ballistic missile submarine, except that these tubes ejected mines rather than missiles.
		The Type VIIC was an effective fighting machine and was seen almost everywhere U-boats operated, although their range was not as great as that of the larger IX types.
		Boats of this type were built throughout the war.

	Type IX U-Boat
		Improvements over the Type I included supercharged 9-cylinder diesel engines (replacing the 8-cylinder ones used in the Type Is), the conning tower moved to the centre of the boat for improved stability, greater hull streamlining, thicker pressure hull, two rudders (one behind each prop) and a restructured and more finely balanced interior.
		While the Type VII was the design favoured by Dönitz as the prefect compromise between weight and weaponload, it was considered too small to match the above requirements by those who controlled the building programme.
		Correspondingly, the larger Type I had not met expectations and was proving a relative failure.

	Amazon.co.uk: The Type VII U-boat (Anatomy of the Ship S.): Books
		The Type VII U-boat was the backbone of the fighting strength of Nazi Germany's U-boats at the outbreak of the Second World War in 1939.
		A Type VII U-Boat and both collectively and individually those commanders made this craft one of the most successful submarines of all time.
		Even today, almost 60 years after the Type VII fired it's last torpedo, there are websites and members' clubs in many different languages dedicated to researching the finest detail of this specific ship and every aspect of the battles they fought.

	U-Boat Type VII C by Chris Wauchop (Revell 1/72)
		The end of 2003 brought us a truly remarkable model - Revell's 1/72 scale German U-Boat Type VIII C "Wolf Pack".
		On the real boat, the flooding holes were open but they are moulded solid (but quite deeply) on the model.
		Markings for five boats are supplied (with one of these including early and late versions).

	Revell 1/72 Type VIIc U-Boat
		The type was built at various shipyards throughout the war and as a result, no two boats are exactly the same.
		The main reason I got it was the laser-cut basswood replaced the entire deck of the boat as well as the conning tower’s deck and had all the holes perfectly drilled out.
		It was very hard to find info on whether a particular boat had wood or not- but as I said, added this set due to the pre-drilled holes on deck.

	Building and Converting the Amati Type VII U
		Type VIIC boats carried a variety of weapons, and, aside from the unsuccessful U-FLAK series of boats, U-242 was one of the most heavily armed Type VIIs to be built.
		One of the first things I noticed in researching they Type VII was the dramatic differences in the tower configurations of the boats from 1942-45.
		The kit represents a pre-war to early-war Type VIIB, and out of the box, you can model most of the famous U-boats, including Kretschmer's U-99, U-48, which was the most successful U-boat of the war, Prien's U-47 and Schepke's U-100.

		Although the Type VII increased in size as new variants were introduced; from 211 feet for the VIIA, 218 feet for the VIIB and VIIC, to the 225 feet of the VIIC-42, they were rather small in their size, compared to the fleet boats of other nations.
		Between 1939 and 1945 Germany constructed more than 700 boats of the Type VII variants and this type, when supplemented with the larger Type IX came close to winning the Battle of the Atlantic.
		The Type VII U-Boat formed the backbone of Admiral Karl Doenitz’s submarine fleet during World War Two.

		Several other boats have some very fancy conning tower markings that will have to be painted, but will look quite distinctive when done.

	The Type VII U-Boat
		A Type VIIC boat, as well as the usual anti-aircraft stations of the rear kiosk and 'Wintergarten' she had her conning tower extended forward, providing a third weapon position.
		Alongside the outboard fuel bunkers (Regelbunkers) were newly installed compensating tanks (Regelzelle) designed to be partially flooded in the manner of normal ballast tanks to reduce the boat's roll as experienced in bad weather in the Type VIA and exacerbated by the increased surface weight of the expanded saddle tanks in the VIIB.
		Their performance was improved over the Type VIID as the boat's beam had been increased to match the extra length, raising its seaworthiness.

		The Type IXA U-Boat that I built costs around USD$8.00; and the photo-etched set is around the same price.

	The Working Environment for German Submarine Design in WWII
		The design of the Type I a, II a-d, III, III mod., IV, V, VI, VII and IX U-boats was done at the MA in the early 30‘s under a cover project named "Entwicklungsaufgaben auf dem Gebiete des Motoren-Versuchsboot-Wesens", which can be translated to something like "Research on engine-trial vessels".
		The U-boats were subdivided into sections, with the Type XXI having 8 sections, the Type XXIII 4 sections and the Type XXVI 8 sections.
		The design efforts increased also, but mainly these were confined to variations of the types already in service, the Type VII and Type IX.

		The German type VII "U boat" was a single hull ocean-going boat of medium displacement, she was fitted with external ballast tanks and main negative tank inside the pressure hull.
		The ‘Type VII’ was also the class to sustained the most losses of WWII, of the 704 boats built, 437 were lost to Allied action a further 165 were scuttled by their crews to either avoid capture or at the end of the war.
		The design of the ‘Type VII’ was developed from the UB III boats of WWI and the Finish ‘Vetehinen’ class built between 1926 and 1932.

		However, the Type VII C submarine like no other typifies the rise and fall of the German submarine.
		The VII C represents about 70% of the submarines delivered to the navy and was the main instrument used by the German submarine command up to the end of the war, in particular in attacks on convoys on the Allied transatlantic supply routes up to March 1944.

		Kohl and Rossler THE TYPE XXI U-BOAT USNI 2002 Considered by many to be the prototype of the modern conventionally powered submarine, the Type XXI U-boat was launched in 1944 to counter the disastrous losses caused by advanced Allied anti-submarine warfare technology.
		Later this U Boat was operated against the Germans sinking another U-boat and causing great alarm in the Bay of Biscay approaches to the U-Boat bases.

		Once the Type VII and IX boats were being delivered in greater numbers, the Type II boats were relegated to the training command except for six that were assigned to the 33rd U-Bootflottille.
		The Type II German U-boat was a fairly small coastal submarine known to her Skippers and crew as the 'Dugout Canoe' and not always with affection.
		The "B" mod of the Type II was mainly in the increased bunker capacity and corresponding radius of action.

	Amazon.com: Books: Type XXI U-Boat (Anatomy of the Ship)
		Whilst I was already familiar with the Type VII U-Boat, this was not the case with the Type XXI - so I had to do some additional research into the vessel before embarking on this review - which, incidentally, refers to the new "revised" edition of the book produced in late 2002.
		Commencing with a potted history of how the type XXI came into being, we are then treated to a series of "Tables" which provide us with such technical details as; Design particulars, weights, boats delivered and commissioned and what happened after the war.
		As with the V1 and V2 rockets, the Type XXI U-Boat was, much needed by Germany in the closing stages of World War Two but arrived too late to save them from defeat.
