Subject: [PSUBS-MAILIST] Welman
Marc,
The Welman got such scant mention because it was ugly and a loser. It was tried operationally once and ended with one pilot being captured by the Germans and three others being saved by the Norwegian underground. Here's a link and a pic:

The Welfreighter story in Wikipedia barely mentions the Welfreighter's
predecessor, the disastrous Welman. Imagine a minisub with NO periscope
and very poor depth control, intended for military application. Okay,
you can start breathing now - it was never used operationally.
The reason the X craft and the Chariots worked, and the Welxxx did not,
is that the former were designed and built by people who actually knew
boats and naval operations, while Col. Dolphin had neither of those
qualifications and would not accept advice from anybody who did.
