TYPE VIIC/41 U-BOOT

Post by aukepalmhof » Tue Jun 29, 2021 8:14 pm

Type VIIC/41 was a slightly modified version of the VIIC https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Type_VII_ ... #Type_VIIC and had the same armament and engines. The difference was a stronger pressure hull giving them a deeper crush depth and lighter machinery to compensate for the added steel in the hull, making them slightly lighter than the VIIC. A total of 91 were built. All of them from U-1271 onwards lacked the fittings to handle mines.
Today one Type VIIC/41 still exists: U-995 is on display at Laboe (north of Kiel), the only surviving Type VII in the world.
