Thanks ;D

Maybe I should go see my boss and ask for a pay rise, to help pay for the mortgage on the new house.

Does anyone know the diameter of the Torpedos tube ???

I am thinking around 561mm = (533mm + 2 x (the steel looks like 12mm + 2mm free ride))

Hello All

I would to introduce myself. I'm Simon Morris from New Zealand. For the last 10 months I have been drawing a 1:60 scale of a general VIIC/41. Durying this time a few quection pop up about the VIIC/41. I am hope that you guys can help my with a few  :)

Here is my first question.
I am looking for the other none water markings, I have seem to found mark II, III & V. I am looking for mark I & IV. I am thinking they are both on the port side of the boat, but i can not found them in the pictures i have of U-995. Does anyone found where they are?

After 15 months I just found a answer to my very first question on this forum. I just found 'Mark 1' in a old picture of U-995 from the 60's  :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :)

It is located just stern of the last flood hole near the exhaust outlet. As all of the upper deck section has been replace on U-995 that is why I did not found it.

Hello Timo

But here is an image from CV 707 / Type IIA torpedo tube manual.
(T21722_21_2b Military Archives in Finnish National Archives)

Are the Finnish National Archives online accessible?

Hi Maciek,

Digitization is going on in Finnish National Archives.
But the work will take lots of time.

For example war diaries are already in digital form.
It will take years before we can watch u-boat plans in internet.  :-[

Hi All

I have two plans that illustrate the aft Battery Hatch, but they are both in different location :( Does anyone know the correct location for the aft Battery Hatch?


Fig. 1. Battery Hatch location between frame number 41 and 42.


Fig. 2. Battery Hatch location between frame number 44 and 45.

Thanks, Simon

Answered on own question again :) That two question in two days, I’m on a roll  ;D ;D

After doing a little more research on why the move the aft battery hatch. They move it for the 3.7cm FlaK or quadruple 2cm L38/43 U Flak gun support for the lower Wintergraten.

I would believe is would be for all Type VIIC/41 or any other Type VIIC that had a lower Wintergraten with these big guns on.

Hi All

Here is a small way to thanks all the people who have helped me over the last two years with my drawing.

I have prepared a 1:24 scale poster of a Type VIIC engine room. The poster is primly to be printer at A3 size, nevertheless, as the drawing is in a PDF format (12MB) it is possible to print it at any page size, without any lost of detail.

I welcome any feed back, mistakes etc
