Hi Simon,

I think you are right about U 995 fairing, it could well be changed in the 1958-1965 period. The photo which confused me is on the right hand side of P115 in Wetzel's book. To my eyes it looks like S 308 (ex U 1202, sailing in the background) has the old mag fairing. And S 309 (ex U 995, moored in the foreground) has the Askania fairing exposed for maintenance. At least that's what it looks like to me, I'm not sure.

However the third image down on P111 shows the old style of fairing. I presume these colour underwater shots are of U 995 but don't know the date.

Great shots in that book.

Cheers,

Dougie

Hi Dougie

Is this the Wetzel book to which you refer:

U-Boote vor Murmansk: Mit den Unternehmungen des Letzten Deutschen Weltkriegs-U-Bootes U 995

or is it another?

Thanks in Advance,
D.B.

Yes Simon  ;D thanks. I thought they sealed the aft torp. door. so i had doubts about the "look" comparing to your drawings.
On the picture do we see the original door ?

But it's 100% clear now.

Cheers.

Hi Dougie

There looks like there some different in the large grill on the starboard side also. In one of your pictures you can clearly see two hinges.

These pictures of your can not see a hinge.


but in this picture of your, you can clearly see a hinge.

Great pics!  One question.......the third picture,  what would cause them to set the stern light, not in the center?

Hi all,

The rear light was placed to the starboard of centre, and the aft set of bollards was placed to the port of centre. This was - I presume - so that the light would be able to shine past the raised bollards and not be obscured.

DB - The book I mentioned is U 995: das U-Boot vor dem Marine-Ehrenmal in laboe.

Simon - quite right, looks like hinges on one of those grills.

Cheers,

Dougie

I did notice the aft light was placed to the starboard of centre, but just thought that the dockworkers were having a bad day. But it now makes sense to offset it for the bollards. I much remember to add this feature to my drawing.

Hi Maciek

Do you know why the aft and bow inside torpedo tube look different? 

Also during your research have you come across any information about the oil lines? I am trying to find out what the tubing is made of. On the outer torpedo tube at Laboe Naval Memorial it show copper tubings, but I unsure if it is original.
