Before leaving the boat you can visit the stern room. Right hand next to the bulkhead door a depth bilge pump is installed, at the left there is a second W.C. (only to W.C. for 58 men crew!). Behind that you will see the so-called Boldsluice, a small torpedo tube for pyrotechnical signal ammunition as well as means of camouflage and dazzle. On the right side two large air bottles are placed. In the stern part you will see the emergency steering gear for the vertical rudder and rear diving plane. The round manhole being in the middle is the frogman sluice (decompression chamber). Through this sluice frogmen could start for operation. Exposure Time: 1/60
