Description


Ever been nose to nose with a German World War II submarine before? Pulled U-505 from my files once again to see what could be done with this unique subject. Don't ask me what the large hole in the nose is for...anybody know? Torpedoes are fired from tubes further down. Bill:) As many of you know from earlier postings here, U-505 is on display in Chicago's Museum of Science and Industry. U-505 firing a torpedo: Click Here

Excellent shot! Have no idea what the holes is for, maybe to fill the ballast with water so the sub can submerge. :)

The best I can come up with is that it might be a guide for the anchor. Cheers, Clive

When I saw the expression on this creature and then read that it's a German, the words of Marlene Deitrichs song sprang in to my mind...."I can't 'ELP it"!

Umm, The big hole (foreshortened shot), I think is the towing hawsehole or mooring line hawsehole. Wild postwork on the image

Stellar POV and postwork on this Unterseeboot image, Bill! And I have no idea what the hole is for. Maybe it is for water ballast as previously mentioned. Incidentally, I almost bought the U-505 DVD the other day, but it was in widescreen format, which I don't like.

I know this critter! It's a great image with wonderful postwork. I've always been strangely fascinated by submarines...in so many ways they're like spaceships, albeit somewhat primitive ones with little to do with the Star Trek's Enterprise, and yet I see similarities...enclosed environments intended as home to a tightly orchestrated team of individuals. I love the sense of color. And as always, great work.

I believe the hole is rather like a pitot tube. It works with water, though, instead of air, which is why it needs to be so big. LOL! Great use of filters on this! I absolutely LOVE the results you get with this stuff.

guess it must be an opening to speed up a dive while on the move... not for breathing anyway. cool work with filters, Bill!
