Submarines On Stamps

Special postmark "5 years of Museum of submarines" in Fehmarn (Germany). I do not know the model of submarine.

Hi primoz,

Here she is, the U11 Unterseeboot (WW1).

South American submarines

Peru 2011

A pair of stamps issued by Norway showing submarines.

Just a point of clarification. The submarine depicted in the cancel and photograph is, indeed, U-11, hull no. S190. She is a post-World War II build. U-11 from WWI was lost during the war. Another U-11 was in service during WWII, but she was scrapped after the war.

Thanks, Robert

In its day, the largest submarine ever built.

I recall reading Surcouf was lost after a collision with a merchant ship in the Caribbean Sea, possibly near the entrance to the Panama Canal. Two 8-inch guns made her exceedingly powerful for a submarine.

You're right, Trainwreck, that is the prevailing assumption that has been written into history.

It was quite a boat. There weren't too many with an onboard aircraft either!
