| Notes on class | The V-class submarines were very similar to the preceding U-class, they were able to dive deeper by adopting a partly welded construction. They had more powerful diesel engines which improved the surface speed. They were also some ten feet longer. They had a more raking stern than the U-class and were easily distinguished by the direction finding loop which was positioned aft of the casing as opposed to on top of the casing as in the U-class. |
