    Type XXIII: wooden walkway on deck?

    I see that some modellers have built Type XXIII kits with a wooden walkway on the hull. Was this a stowed feature, or was it present all the time? I have the ICM 1/144 kit, which doesn't have this feature, and am considering whether to add it.

    TIA for any info!

    Certainly nothing permanent, and nothing

    Certainly nothing permanent, and nothing used while underway. Maybe something used by the shipyard to make work easier?

    I have seen quite a few XXIII photos, but I do not remember anything like a wooden walkway on the hull. Where was it supposed to be located?

      it's located foreward of the conning tower, usually deployed in 2 separate sections. It's not a permanent fixture, and seems to be used more often than not when the boat was pierside. I've also got some photos of it on what looks to be a training run.
