The big Type VII has finally had her maiden voyage! This took place behind my home in Naples, FL about a week ago. I'm happy to report that the test was a shining success!
The uboat has a tendency to drop in the rear when undertaking a turn, and I assume that is a result of the design of the boat. A bit of corrective action on the planes brings her back to trim without issue.
Look for the next (final?) video in the buildup coming soon where I document the functional electric torpedoes!
