Design and development
The class
The Schnellboot 1934/35 was a slightly enlarged version of the S-Boot 1933 type.
Equipped with the not very reliable MAN engines, only four boats of this type were built and because of their bad stability and light armament, they were not used as active fast attack boats, but as fast submarine hunters since autumns 1940.
