The U-Boot type VII-C is the best known German submarine from World War II. It was built in large numbers and upgraded several times. This type represents the ultimate high point of the submarine era. Equipped with four bow and one stern torpedo the VII-C was a fearsome weapon. The task assigned to the German submarines was trade warfare. They were designed to disrupt England's supply lines and innumerable sunken ships bear witness to that. The "Grey Wolves" of the Atlantic made war on escort convoys and hunted in packs. Accustomed to success, however, the period from 1943 was devastating for the German submarines: the hunters became the hunted. New search equipment tracked the German submarines mercilessly and turned them into steel coffins for innumerable German submarine crews. The type VII-C submarine illustrates the rise and fall of German submarine warfare.

After the US Pacific fleet had been seriously weakened at Pearl Harbor, at the beginning of the war in the Pacific much of the responsibility in the battle against the Japanese expeditionary forces rested on the shoulders of the American submariners. The submarines of the Gato Class were large fleet submarines that had been specially developed for use in the wide expanses of the Pacific Ocean. Due to their size and equipment they could remain in non-stop service for 75 days. Between 1940 and 1944, 77 Gatos were build at four different shipyards. Together with the Balao and the Trench Class they formed the backbone of the US submarine fleet. Most of these subs went to the Pacific, but a few were also used in the Atlantic. These submarines were extremely successful. Not only did they sink a large number of irreplaceable freighters and tankers, but they also decimated the Imperial naval fleet. The most grievous losses were the aircraft carriers Shokaku, Taiyo, Unyo and Taiho. Developed for use in the expanses of the Pacific, the Gato was much larger than for example the German type VII submarine. It had a length of 95 m, a beam of 8.20 m and a draught of 4.60 m. Its displacement was 1825 tons surfaced and 2410 tons dived. The diesel engine gave it a speed of 20.75 knots on the surface.

Based on the proven design principles of the 209 Class of submarines, plus some of the innovative features of the 212A class, HDW developed the 214 Class. It was eminently suitable for a broad spectrum of applications, both in shallow and deep water areas. Due to its flexible combination of sensors and weapons and the fuel cell power plant that is independent of external air, the 214 Class is predestined for missions against enemy submarines and surface vessels, reconnaissance and surveillance, support for operational units and special missions. The fuel cell power plant enables the submarine to remain under water for much longer. This new type of engine and the reduction in the overall signatures ensure that the 214 Class vessels are extremely difficult to locate. At present there are seven 214 Class units under construction: four for the Greek Navy (built by the Thyssen Krupp Marine Systems Werften HDW in Kiel and the Hellenic Shipyards in Greece) and three for the Navy of South Korea (Shipyard: Hyundai Heavy Industries in Korea).

The type VII C was the best known and most frequently built German submarine in the Second World War. Equipped with four front and one rear torpedo the VII C was a feared weapon that formed the backbone of the Battle of the Atlantic. Thistype is an impressive representative of the rise and fall of the German submarine forces. This highly detailed model kit captivates by virtue of its hull with textured rivets and welds, its authentic vents and deck details. 29 individual parts provide an authentic reproduction of the power plant, net cutter, periscope and armaments. The decals enable an optional U-81, U-96 or U-522 to be built.

With a displacement of 500 tonnes this class of submarine is one of the smallest but most manoeuvrable armed submersibles in the world. It went into service with the Federal German Navy in 1973 as the 206 class and in 1987 it underwent a modernisation programme at HDW to become the 206A class. These submarines are characterised by low acoustic signature and amagnetic construction and have excellent manoeuvrability. Wire-guided torpedoes are located in 8 forward tubes. Top speed 17 knots, 22-man crew. At present 7 of these are stationed with the 1st U-Boot squadron in the Eckernförde.

Starting mid-1943, 91 u-boots Type VII C/41 have been launched. By then, the conditions of the battle had totally changed. The "wolfpack tactic" achieved then seldom positive results against better protected convoys, especially with the introduction of air umbrellas. With the aim of a better defence when surfaced, the Type VII C/41 u-boots were fitted with a modified, larger bridge called "large wintergarten (winter garden)" armed with two 20 mm flakzwillings and one automatic 37 mm M42U flakkanone, which are reproduced with precision in the kit. A swivelling snorkel mast (also swivelling in the kit) for fresh air and fume exhaust, and four pressure boxes with 5-man floats were additional typical of these boats. The use of better steel sheets allowed the maximum depth to reach 250 metres. New parts are included, for the wooden deck planking with engraved pressure boxes and the "Atlantic" type bow. The beautifully detailed hull shows rivets and welding seams. Following u-boots can be reproduced with the decal sheet: U 292, U 318, U 998 and U 1004.

1/72 HUGE US Gato Class Submarine

The Gato class of submarine was the state of the art in American design at the start of World War II and bore the brunt of the fighting against Japan during the war. They were fast, strong, heavily armed and well-suited to the long range patrols necessary in the Pacific. They were generally over 300 feet in length, which means our new Revell 1:72 scale kit will be roughly 52 inches in length! You can expect a massive, world-class model replica with at least 250 to 300 parts.
