Description
Notes: The Type VII.F boats were designed in 1941 as supply boats to rearm U-boats at sea once they had used up their torpedoes . This required a lengthened hull and they were the largest and heaviest type VII boats built. They were armed identically with the other Type VIIs except that they could have up to 39 torpedoes onboard and had no deck guns.Class Overview
