What exactly is that and where is it located? I see it's between Frames 7 and 8.

The Bold ejector port is only found on the starboard side between Frames 7 and 8.

Bold was a anti-ASDIC/Sonar device, a decoy was ejected out that made a large mass of bubbles for about 25 minutes so the U-Boat could escape.

I think it came into service around 1943, Don would have a better idea.

You can found more information in the Skizzenbuch.

That's right, above the compressor. I've seen it referred to as an Ejector. Always wondered exactly what that meant.


This guy, right?

Dougie, have you done any research on the 'Rear Main free-flooding vent patterns' on late-war boats?

I am at a stage I want to add the rear main free-flooding vents to my model that has the style 6 exhaust.
Looking at U-1305, U-421 & U-642 it looks like these just have a solid single line of free-flooding vents.
U-995, U-766 and U-350 have single line of free-flooding vents with a small gap in it. 
U-995 also has two smaller vertical free-flooding vents above the exhaust outlet.


Fig. 1. Bold and style 6 exhaust.

Hi Simon,

I haven't seen any really good quality images of boats with style 6 exhaust so it is hard to say with certainty.

Most late war boats were launched with style 5 which had that big plate over where the line of vents would normally go. I think when they changed to style 6 they typically added vents to the main line. But the new vents were not always done perfectly neatly, with some having small holes rather than the full vent size.

High quality images would certainly help us. I can't quite tell but they may have left the big style 5 plate in place.

Cheers,

Dougie

You are right about the bad quality images of boats with style 6 exhaust! I have about six war-time photo's of style 6, only one is of good quality but you only see about 10 cm of the exhaust, all the another photo's are very poor.

Error - Stern Hatches

If anyone is using my drawings please be aware that the deck hatch on the port side opposite to the MB Tank 1 outlet hatch should not be there.

I was checking the alignment of the MB Tank 1 outlet with my deck hatches and noted a few odd things about the port side hatch, there was nothing under it and there only a 70 mm gap between the hatch and the top of the MB1 Tank plate. I rechecked my war-time photo and its look like, I got carried away with adding hatches and add one extra.

Will post corrected drawing soon to show correct details.

Hello there! I am a 1/6 figure player from Hong Kong! I am currently making a U-boat periscope scene,
looking for information and pictures everywhere, but my information is limited!
Until I saw your U-boat drawing in this forum, I was pleasantly surprised to find that,  you also drew this periscope!
Can I ask the moderator now, can you post a picture of the periscope for my reference!

Thank you for your assistance!
I wish you a successful publication ！

I have upload a 12K Ultra-High Definition Rendering (11520 x 2815) of my U-boat poster of U-1308.

Select "Original (11520 x 2815)" to view full poster.

PS. The full 30K render took 22 hours on my i9-9900K processor with 32GB of ram  ;D
