Hello again!

Presenting the first batch of the 600-tonnes type (Loire-built):



Source situation has not become any better compared with Requin, so... any additional info is welcome!

Greetings

Very well done.
By the way, the Requin (Q115), was captured by Italy 8/12/1942 and renamed FR-113 .



with Z.1 number 01/09/1931 to 01/11/1934 when serving with the 5th submarine flotilla.



with S.1 number

The Requin also carried the number 31.
These changes were made when the submarine was transferred between the various submarine flotillas.

Good work!

I am in holyday and do not have access to all my book... I did not connetted the Requin with the FR 113: I could have a suitable good profile of it. Please be patient...

Hello again!

The next subtype of the 600-class (Schneider-built) is better documented, with a decent plan that made drawing much easier: The Circé-class



BTW, Lazer One, any plans or line drawings of french submarines captured by the Italians are welcome; most sources I have show these boats as completed, but not in their wartime fit. Thanks in advance!

Greetings
GD

Nice!

Kaidai 2
This design was based on Germany's U-139 from the First World War. She was employed as a training ship until mid-1942, then stricken from service. Five additional units were canceled.

Type B2 (Otsu-Gata 2)
An improvement of the B1 design, these boats were slightly heavier and of similar overall performance. Two further units of this type were canceled. None of these six submarines survived the war. I-40 was sunk off Makin by destroyer USS Radford on 25 November 1943. I-41 sank after encountering destroyer escort USS Lawrence C. Taylor and aircraft from escort carrier USS Anzio off Samar on 18 November 1944. I-42 was torpedoed off the Palau Islands by submarine USS Tunny on 23 March 1944, while I-43 met the same fate at the hands of submarine USS Aspro 280 miles east of Guam on 15 February 1944. I-44 was sunk by aircraft from escort carrier USS Tulagi on 29 April 1945. Destroyer escort USS Whitehurst sank I-45 east of Surigao Strait on 29 October 1944.

Great job, those Ka-Tsu looks awesome!
