History
| The Hecht
was the result of the call for an electrical mini-submarine capable to attack moving targets with an torpedo or a ground mine. Although the craft archived this goals, its very bad maneuverability made it impossible to use it for combat operations, instead the double seated mini sub was only used for training purposes. The Hecht
was planed to used either the single torpedo mounted under the hull, or the mine installed in the bow of the craft. In addition two other exchangeable bows were planned, an additional battery storage or a cell for two divers. The last version and the mine were never build. Instead the over 50 build Hechte
were mainly equipped with the additional batteries to enhance their endurance during training maneuvers. |
