U-534's front dive planes?
Posted by: Les ()

Hi guys,
I was wondering if someone could take a look at the photos of the U-534 and explain the unusual design of her front diving planes. There in photo set B, (go to the fifth one I believe,) one will see small swept back dive planes very close to the standard ones. Why was this and would it not interfere with performance?
Thanks for any help.
Les
