Most, if not all, German

Most, if not all, German boats used 3 bladed screws. I don't think any German boats used 4 blades...but I could be wrong.

Diameters:
VIIC - 162cm
XXI - 216cm
XXIII - 180cm
Biber - I have no idea...

British boats....ask a Bloody Britian...

So the diameters are:

Type XXIII

So the diameters are:

Type XXIII 3 blade 1,8 m
Type XXI 3 blade 2,15 m
Type Biber 3 blade 0,47 m

Or Briton even.

Although we generally refer to ourselves as English, Scottish or Welsh.

The majority of our boats were three bladers, as for dimensions, haven't got a clue, but I expect the RN submarine museum at Gosport will know. Might be worth shooting them an email if you can't find out elsewhere.
