Hi Rainer Bruns,
The \"pesky little insect\" was also used as a German code name. Mucke was a radar detector receiver eventually combined with Fluge.
Seraph - speed 13 knots for 30 mins. Motors unchanged but uprated. Two more S class were later modified. - Satyr and Sceptre - with improved performance.
I have read that whilst type XVIIB and G were being developed, Prof Walther designed type XVIII, a 1500 ton boat capable of 24 kts submerged. Work was started (U706 and U707??) but was abandoned early in 1944. Some of the design work on these boats was adapted by Prof Oelfken for the Electro-boat.
Regards Ron
