Submarine Aesthetics

[anonymous]

Hi Antoine,

The submarine is one

Hi Antoine,

The submarine is one of four such boats, either K-II, K-V, K-VI, or K-VII, of the 'Dutch' Royal Netherlands Navy, photo reportedly taken in the 1920's in 'Naples'.

It is from the Dutch submarine website under 'Mystery photos'. The abrupt 'skeg' and stern planes are very similar to American subs (the EB designs, not the 'Lake''s) such as the K and L classes. However I mentioned 'abrupt' referring to the stern skeg. Those American boats didn't have stern tubes. Look how close the torpedoes exiting the stern tubes must pass to the propeller blades!

Do not torment here. It is fun learning. Thought you would be interested to know we have been getting a few very nice comments about 'Submarine Aesthetics' from other SC members. Fun to figure these things out, and realize the hundreds of sub classes we have scarcely touched yet. Lets keep this going Antoine! This is fun! Stump Me Please!

Look forward to your next picture.

Regards,

Steve

Steve,
Now you have just admitted to practicing dentistry without a license. I'll pull the teeth, you can continue to enlighten us on submarine identification. Thanks for all the information.

Hi everyone,

Been busy! The answer to the identity of the submarine stern in the above image is of HMS Explorer (1956), the Walter hydrogen-peroxide experimental submarine and high speed target sub. Image is of her stern upon her completion.
