Know your midget subs?

Not sure which forum section this fits under but am sure it's of interest to U-Boot experts.

Online quiz where you have to identify various WW2 'sneak craft' including K-Verband and Decima-MAS types, along with British and American equivalents. Some easy, some hard just to mix it up.

I'm not finding much on the forum re K-Verband/Decima-MAS or Japanese subs, am I just searching wrongly?

Are those pics really old? Doesn't look like USS Nautilus museum and they don't have a Seehund, at least not currently. They have an Italian SSB 'maiale' (pig) though.

There is a Seehund at USS Salem museum though, although I think that they are closed currently.

Yes, those pics really are that old...Probably around 2000 or so. But, I can't remember when the Seehund was moved from the Submarine Force Museum to the USS Salem though.

I wonder if the Seehund will follow the USS Salem to Boston, as that seems to be where the Salem will be heading in the future.
