Hello List,

General question for the list and I aplogize if it sounds stupid.

If Type VIIC were equipped with all the latest sensor devices that a modern submarine has, would it still be able to handle itself against modern surface vessels? I think I already know the answer to this but the reason why I ask is that one of the common threads in the many stories on the demise of the U-boat was the increasing ability of surface vessels to detect and destroy them.

Now part two of my question is: how would a similarly equiped type XXI U-boat compare with today's subs?

Like I said, dumb questions but if I knew everything, I wouldn't be here now would I?

Regards to all

Robert
