Speyer - Technikmuseum Speyer - U-Boot Typ 127 Seehund
The Seehund (&quot;seal&quot;), also known as Type XXVII, was a successful series of German midget submarines created during World War II. Designed in 1944, and operated by two-man crews, the submarines were used by the Kriegsmarine during the closing months of the war, sinking nine merchant vessels and damaging an additional three, with 35 losses mostly attributed to bad weather.

The origin of the Seehund began with the salvage of the two British X class submarines HMS X6 and X7 which had been sunk during Operation Source, an attempt to sink the German battleship Tirpitz. Hauptamt Kriegschiffbau subsequently produced a design for a two-man submarine based on inspection of the British boats, designated Type XXVIIA and named Hecht (&quot;Pike&quot;)

One of the boats used by the French navy post-war, S 622 is preserved and on display at the Musée national de la Marine in Brest, France.

The U-5075 is on display at the United States Naval Shipbuilding Museum, part of the Massachusetts Military Research Center, in Quincy, Massachusetts. Occasional amateur radio events are conducted by this museum ship, using the callsign WW2MAN.

In Germany, Seehunds are displayed at several museums, the Technik Museum Speyer, the Deutsches Museum, Munich, the Marinemuseum Wilhelmshaven and the German Shipping Museum (Deutsches Schiffahrtsmuseum), Bremerhaven.
