Hallo Hans and All,
sorry for bundling, but that’s why we have such fine experts like you and RB to explain to the “dummies†like me, although if famous means having a widespread reputation (Webster), one might argue or construe……, just kidding.
Anyway, please find the „inauguration“ speech for U 31, 32 by Peter Struck, outgoing secretary of defence.
[www.bmvg.de]
The usual speech by high brass on such occasions so I don’t need to translate. What is interesting is that he said at the beginning that two more boats would be commissioned and, if I can count at least correctly, they would be U 33, 34. On the other hand, if you click back on this link you’ll find a general statement on the defence budget and its future stating in general that “investment†in weaponry will be increased in the coming years, so there might be some hope also for u 35 the 3rd, so to speak of.
Hope this helps.
All the best regards.
