U-boot identification?
Posted by: Der Danziger ()

Hello,

I\'m looking for any information that could be helpful in identifying
the U-boat from outside (excluding the individual badges).
What I\'m particularly interested in is how can a diver identify a boat
without getting inside?
- Did German shipyards place any Bureau NOs somewhere on the tower
or elsewhere?
- Or maybe some data plates?
I don\'t think that there was a boat\'s number placed somewhere,
but I hope that possibly the shipyard\'s name can be found.

One more thing - did all the boats have their rescue buoys (or sth)
removed during the war - or maybe those operating in the Baltic Sea
training waters had them intact?

I\'d be very grateful for your replies. Thanx!
