Review the history of the Royal Netherlands Navy Submarine Service. Read the attack logs, ship specs, eye witness WWII accounts, mission assignments, construction details, periscope shots, mystery images, weapons specifications, war stories, and more.

During the 1950s, the U.S. Navy developed two major types of nuclear-powered submarine, fast attacks and boomers. The smaller model is a typical fast attack submarine. The real fast attack is a fish-shaped cylinder 360 feet long—exactly the same length as a football field with end zones included—and roughly 33 feet in diameter. Although they have a variety of missions, the main purpose of fast attacks is to locate and track enemy submarines.
