Drop a big bomb on it, or fire a torpedo at it.

 

[Nonskimmer]

Damn, I was gonna say that!

 

[Erich]

torpedos worked by the below attached image......anyone know what the Kriegsmarine craft is ? 8) this is also one of my specialties

 

[Nonskimmer]

Is it an S-80 torpedo boat?

 

[Erich]

it is S-195 of Walter Knapp of the 8th Schnellboote Flottille in 1945. Hes erved through out the war and lastly taking on soviet MTB's and other soviet craft in the Baltic during Germany's escape in whatever shipping they could find to Copenhagen.....

good guess though.....it is actually part of the S-100 boat class

[Nonskimmer]

Ah, right!

 

[Erich]

does this appeal to you ? a sharper image of another S-boot

 

[Nonskimmer]

Thank you, kind sir!

 

[Erich]

one for the road, I mean one for the lake......

surrendering in Denmark May of 45.....

 

[Nonskimmer]

Outstanding!

 

[Erich]

that is a very nice pic for sure. have another one of the two craft along with 3 others side by side somewhere in the lost files.

smaller pic coming up, typical hot rod on the coast patrol

A dozen or so of these should make a cruiser cough a bit

I have a question.
If the S boat used the intial S (schnell) why are they refered to generally as E boats?

 

[mosquitoman]

E-Boat was short for Enermy motorboat- the British designation for S-Boats

 

[trackend]

thank's for that, pretty obvious really . what a plonker I turned out to be.

 

[mosquitoman]

I like the signature Trackend

 

[lesofprimus]

Thats not a signature.. Its just a pic he constantly posts.....
