Metal used for Conning Towers
Posted by: Dave McQueen ()

Hi

Whenever you see a wreck of a U-Boat it always seems in very poor condition'especially the conning tower.

In fact the conning tower seems to have rusted away and all thats left is masts and periscopes.

So i'm wondering if the metal used for conning towers is different to the metal uses for the pressure hull that might explain how conning towers seem to rust away?

Thanx
