Technical history of the German World War II U-boat Type VII submarine. With 159 photographs and numerous illustrations, this book describes in detail the technical features of the Type VII U-boat, of which over 700 were built as the main weapon of the German Navy, the process by which the technology was improved and refined as operations progressed, and how each weapon and equipment was operated on board the ship, based on thorough research and interviews with former German Navy officers who served on U-boats during the war.
During World War II, the German Navy U-boats were called "sea wolves" and feared by the Allied forces. This book focuses on the Type 7, which was the mainstay of the U-boats, and provides a detailed explanation of the ship's performance, structure, characteristics of its derivatives, on-board weapons, radio/acoustic equipment, and other hardware aspects. You will learn all about the many technologies that have been passed down to modern submarines.
