RE: [PSUBS-MAILIST] Seehunde find
Carsten,
Thanks for the additional information. While the crews of the Seehundes
than those aboard other mini-subs, it was still very rough and these two
didn't have a chance.

Hi Jay, the top acrylic dome has a long bullet hole.
More holes in the hull. Obviously an aircraft catch.
Was a schoolboat without torpedos.
Has an holder for positionlamp on the periskop shaft
- only the trainnig boat has that feature.
Crew members age estimate between 18-19.
