What a beautifully restored piece of history. Engineering in Germany at that time was incredible! And yes, how many of these U Boats were produced in such a short time.

Toured this and museum a couple times, great technology for its day..another interesting thing nearby is you can see many buildings near the harbor that were bombed, the newer repaired walls stand out clearly from the older parts..Bremerhaven was quite heavily bombed

its amazing just how advanced German technology was at this time, the blues prints bust have been drawn up several years before the first Type XXI was laid down. A first rate Video Beck's, thanks.

Thank you for visiting our ship!! Im an engineer on board her for about 15 years now, its a labor of love and we do it to preserve the history for the future :)
@BecksHobbyProductions17 күн бұрын
First of, thanks for all your efforts in preserving this ship. There are not many left! Second, I apologize for the quality of the production of the video. When I recorded the video, it was just meant to be part of my personal material, but then the Pampanito video got attention, which inspired me to make the U995 video, which basically made my channel. At some point I would really like to return to the SS Jeremiah O'Brien and do a "proper" video, so you could do me a huge favor and drop me an email on [email protected] so I have your contact details for the future. Again, thank you so much for your efforts!

This video is absolutely AMAZING!! thank you so very, very much!! I'm currently building the Revell 1/144 cutaway Type 21, and although i have managed to find a lot of references to update and further detail the sometimes incorrect interior there are some areas that i have not been able to find such as the conning tower, bridge and pump room. Your video is a PERFECT reference for these, as unfortunately i am unable to visit her to see them for myself. Thank you once again, i will be checking out your other videos (especially the Type 7) as they are brilliant guided tours!

Yes, very good take, not "game changers". I'll give German engineers some slack, they got low priority in a messed up system. This boat never had a chance to be developed - but refining the concept gave us fast d/e attack boats & the Nautilus in short order. Thanks. 6:16 That Australian report says it's from "ACT", which is Canberra's little city state! Cheers. 🇦🇺 ⚓

What’s craziest the technology? They had 80 years ago and how it’s still in effect and we use the same vehicles and tools of war to this day just upgraded with new computer technology involved but it’s also scary that as humans are now in our secretary phase in relying too much on intelligence AI and all of thatset a building weapons of destruction. We need to focus on peace in minding our own businesses and not getting involved in other countries affairs.

It’s not that hydrodynamics wasn’t known by the allies, it just wasn’t that necessary. Gato subs were the best subs used during the war.

I guess hydrodynamics of the top structure was not a priority of a semi-submersible ;) However, for a submarine its critical.

Superb tour and an amazing craft. If Germany had this type operational in 1940 - 43 England likely would not have survived due to lack of fuel and food. The US navy would have had to develop new technology and procedures to combat these vessels and escort convoys. Any craft on the Atlantic was very possibly a dead duck. My mother had a cousin who was one of her best friends and was on the Nevada during the Pearl Harbor attack. He was then shipped to the Atlantic aboard the Destroyer Escort Fiske doing convoy duty when it was sunk near Iceland(?) and did not survive being in the ice water in the north Atlantic. His name was Burton Engelman.

Thanks for the kind comment and sharing your family's story. I did a quick search and found this in case you wanted to have more info on the USS Fiske : en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_Fiske_(DE-143) As for the impact of the type XXI being available at the beginning of the war...that's a much longer conversation than a reply leaves room for 😉

That design came much later. These submarines used diesels to propel the boat on the surface and had a clutch system where the crew could choose what engine/motor was connected to the drive shaft.
