Project 'Schwimmweste' - shooting with the A4 von See out Director Lafferenz of the German work front had proven by practical attempts that a submarine up to three could drag largest dipable flotation chambers. With U 1063 underwaterdrag tested and showed only minimum problems. From the question resulted whether it was possible to carry in these flotation chambers A 4-Raketen. The thought was to start these rockets from the dipping containers. Thus 1943 a further project developed. The transportation and firing container should have a length of 37 m and a diameter of 5,5 m. With the size one spoke of the enormous water displacement of 500 tons. After reaching the goal the tail would have been flooded and the flotation chambers would have perpendicularly confessed and approx.. 5 meters risen up out of the water. On a gyro-stabilized platform A 4 would have been refuelled and examined. The current supply should take place via the submarine. Briefly before the start the operator crew would have left the container. The starting signal would have been given from the submarine. On the start distance within the flotation chamber one intended to lead A 4 in rails and to return the gas jet across a Schurre around l80°, so that he could withdraw upward. For the travel over the Atlantic one computed about 30 days with 12 nautical miles speed to the planned goal (the USA). Were intended sucked. Electrical submarines of the type XXI. One would have carried the drive materials like liquid oxygen and ethyl alcohol in the flotation chambers beside the rocket. The loss at liquid oxygen starts by according to large tank container lasts to be adjusted had. The project should be compiled in connection with the Stettiner Vulcanwerft. Still on 9 December 1944 an extensive discussion took place at the weapon test department 10 (rockets) of the office for army weapon. To at the end of March 1945 then the preliminary investigations should be final. In February 1945 Peenemuende was however already vacated. Also of did not throw samples begun could any longer be finished placed.
