Hi everyone.

I am looking at a lot of photos of U-boats in various classes; it sure does look like there is a little lip on these boats. Did the decks mount flush with the hull or are my eyes not deceiving me and that the hull extends a fraction beyond the deck.

Thank you.

Alex

Hello Alex,

Having examined many photos of the type VII and Type IX, there
is a definite recess of the deck where it meets the hull.

This recess is slight on the type VII and very pronounced
on the Type IX.

I cannot confirm if "all" boats where built this way but
I would imagine so.


Cheers,
Joe

Joe, thank you for being an extra set of eyes. Have an awesome night. Alex

The photo of the IX Class looks flush yet those VIIs definitely are recessed.

There all VII class?

Alex,
Daniel's photo and my photos are all Type VIIs.(VIIC & VIIC/41)

Here is the deck of a Type IX:



As you can see, that lip is quite large compared to
the Type VIIs from the previous post.

Cheers,
Joe
