Last Sunday I did two dives on U-853.
During second dive my attention was grabbed by two openings that looked like jet engine intakes.
If I remember correctly, they were located just behind conning tower facing to the stern; diameter was comparable to that of torpedo loading hatches.
At fist I thought those were torpedo tubes, but after the dive I realized thats unlikely, since they were definitely above the deck, and decided to do some internet research to find out that those were.
None of the pictures or drawings of IXC type boats that I was able to find display those jet engines.
Here is a picture taken by my buddy.
The edge of the deck is in foreground; two jet engines are in the back with what I remember as the conning tower between them.
Anyone knows what those are?
