The Type IX U-boat was a development of the Type I U-boat. It was anexcellent ocean-going submarine, capable of operating in great distant waters and far more spacioius and comfortable than the Type VII. Its bigger size, however, meant that its diving speed was rather slower than the Type VII. Without the external saddle tanks of the Type VII, the Type IX was a much sleeker looking boat and had greater fore and aft deck space. She had six torpedo tubes, four in the bow and two astern. Up to twenty-three torpedoes were stored. Secondary armament was provided by one 105mm deck gun with about 110 round. AA armament differed throughout the war.
