Yes, it is a good picture as its shows the waterline. I should be able workout a good location for the outlet with this picture. You see can the full and empty waterlines.

Hi Dougie

There seems to be two sub-styles of number 6 maybe Maybe varied between shipyards again

If you look at U-642 (from Blohm & Voss, Hamburg) & Westwood page 32 it look more like the one on the left.

But U-348 and U-350 (both from Nordseewerke, Emden) it looks more like the one on the right.

What do you think

Hi Dougie

Was looking through my drawings today and came across a drawing of U-1105 which look like it has Style 6. What do you think?



Also wondering that you think about this:
I was going to extent the stern the flood vents the full length without any gap around the Diesel Exhaust Outlets as U-1308 was commissioned on 17^th Jan 1945 after the 31^st March 1944 order to used Style 6.

Also it look like some boats, just had the Style 6 install (U-348, U-995 & U-1105) but others boats look like they took the time and extended the flood vents between the gap like for U-421.

Also it looks like we could start a list of boats with Style 6.

U-348 (Type VIIC)
U-350 (Type VIIC)
U-421 (Type VIIC)
U-995 (Type VIIC/41) (Maybe )
U-1105 (Type VIIC/41) (Very likely)
 

Hi Admiral Simon,

I'd concur with everything in your last post. Very likely that U 1105 has style 6. Also your point about taking time to extend the vents I think is correct too.

Good work,

Dougie

Hi Dougie

Recently I got some extra pictures of U-1105 and in one of the images, you are clearly see style 6 of the Diesel Exhaust Outlets

The List
U-348 (Type VIIC)
U-350 (Type VIIC)
U-421 (Type VIIC)
U-995 (Type VIIC/41)
U-1105 (Type VIIC/41) (Confirm)

Hi Simon,

It really wouldn't surprise me if there were two sub-styles. So many boats, so many variations. I can't tell from the U 642, 348 and 350 photos though due to the angle they were taken. If you have shots showing boats taken from a similar angle then this would be good. Well done.

Cheers,

Dougie
