HM Sucmarine M-2, armed with a 12in/40 caliber gun!

(And yes, she is in WPO).

I think a sub sim where you could con Surcouf would be pretty sweet myself.

I have a drawing somewhere that shows a Soviet design for a submarine tank-landing craft.

to their graves!

I've always called the K class the 'Krise' class (krise = crisis). Think one of them almost killed the prince regient when it sank to the bottom of the harbour <G>

So how is that different from anything else that is found on the web. Not saying Wiki is perfect, but the beauty of it is that you can correct it when you find stuff wrong.
