Once your U Boat takes shape, you ought to have a couple of the students write to the boat about the project and include a picture of what you are doing. And that you are thinking about them as you build it. I bet the crew of SSBN 742 would love it. Could do the same thing with USS Cheyenne also |

I'm a little pumped to see this thing progress!
Myself, I've been fascinated with the British K-class submarines. K is for Katastrophe From their first appearance in mid-World War I, the Royal Navy’s K-class submarines were perhaps the most badly-conceived and ill-starred submersibles ever built by any nation. In both their original configuration and in the several derivatives that followed, the K-boats compiled an almost unbroken record of disaster and death, unredeemed by even a single instance of combat effectiveness...

Any chance a German sub, of this make/model was captured? Maybe you could 're-badge' it with the story of the capture included? TRG |
