The Type 205 was a class of diesel-electric German hunter-killer submarines. They were single-hull vessels optimized for the use in the shallow baltic sea. The Type 205 is a direct evolution of the Type 201 class with lengthend hull, new machinery and sensors. The biggest difference though is that ST-52 steel is used for the pressure hull since the Type 201's non-magnetic steel proved to be problematic. Type 206, the follow-on class, finally suceeded with non-magnetic steel hulls.

Notes:

• U1 and U2 have originally built as Type 201 submarines with pressure hulls made of non-magnetic steel, but were rebuilt as Type 205 with new pressure hulls out of normal steels after corrosion problems and small cracks have been detected.
• U1 was given back to Nordseewerke and had been used to test an experimantal closed-cycle diesel air-independent propulsion system before being scrapped
• U11 was transformed to a Type 205A double-hulled boat (the outer hull filled with polystyrene foam to make it unsinkable) and used as torpedo target
• U12 was used for sonar trials as Type 205B

Air-Independent Propulsion (AIP), is a term that encompasses technologies which allow a submarine to operate without the need to surface or use a snort mast to access atmospheric oxygen. ... Styrofoam redirects here. ...
