HMS Swordfish 1916

I think this is a first. I have procured the drawing of the WWI Swordfish and I have added a low resolution file to the Wikipedia page on this really neat looking STEAM driven submarine.

Sorry guys, I'm having trouble loading these urls and image links tonight.

The boat appears to be 76 feet long with a 7 feet beam. I'm puzzled by the center part of the keel being 'droppable'. Do they mean they dumped it to emergency surface the boat, or to lower the Center of Gravity? Has anyone ever seen a photo of this boat, or even made a model of it?

I have about 25 high resolution scans of a number of early British boats and have put them on a CD.

Plans are of:
A Class
HMS Olympus Odin Class
HMS Subtle
HMS Sunfish
HMS Swordfish 1916 Steam
K Class 3,4,8,9,10,12, 17
L Class 1917
R1 & R2
R1 -4
R12
S Class Stubborn
T Class
HMS Thresher & Token

Some plans are quite large and very detailed, several have cross section drawings. I have cleaned up a lot of the smudging and photocopy 'debris' you see on these 'old uns'.

Hi,
since I try to draw

Hi,
since I try to draw some plans for the R-Class - is there a chance to get copies of these scans?
