U-boat type VII

A look at German submarine technology

by Robert C. Stern
Translated by Shigeaki Tsukube

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.

UボートVII型

ドイツ潜水艦テクノロジーの全容

ロバート・C・スターン
津久部茂明 (訳)

第二次大戦のドイツ潜水艦UボートVII型の技術資料史。写真159点と、図版多数を用いて、ドイツ海軍の主力兵器として700隻以上も建造されたUボートVII型の技術的特徴、そして作戦の推移に従って技術的に改良、洗練されていった過程、また各兵器や器材が艦内でどのように操作運用されていたかを、綿密な調査と戦時中Uボートに乗り組んでいた旧ドイツ海軍軍人への取材で、具体的に記述。

第2次大戦時、連合軍から“海の狼”と呼ばれ、恐れられたドイツ海軍Uボート。本書は、そのUボートの主力となった7型に的を絞り、同艦の性能、構造、派生型の特徴、搭載兵器、電波/音響装置などのハード面を詳しく解説。現代の潜水艦に受け継がれた数多くのテクノロジーの全てが判る。
