U-2513 The first True Modern Submarine
Text and Photography by Michael C. Barnette
The U-2513 was built in late 1944 at the Blohm and Voss shipyard in Hamburg, Germany. The Type XXI program implemented a fairly efficient modular construction process. Each electroboat was constructed from eight separate sections, allowing the vessels to be completed in approximately six months, including only 50 days on the rails.
