What was the dive speed of the U-571 submarine?
Like any submarine, there is no specific dive speed for the U-571, a German Type VIIC U-Boat, which was commissioned in 1941 and sunk in 1944. Dive speed is dependent on several variables, including, but not limited to: 1. Fixed ballast weight 2. Variable ballast weight 3. Ocean depth, thermal, and salinity conditions 4. Engine speed 5. Crew response time after order is given to Dive until BCP panel shows green 6. Down angle (bubble) 7. Casualty status (flooding, etc., which adds to Variable ballast) A change in any of the above variables can alter the boat's dive speed to any given depth. The 3 biggest variables are Variable ballast, Down Angle, and Engine Speed. If an order is given to dive quickly, more VB will be brought aboard and and increase in speed will be ordered, along with a steep dive angle.
What were the dimensions of a U-boat?
There were different sized U-boats so the dimensions varied. There is a website that has the dimensions of all U-boats from the very first commissioned one prior to WW1 to today.
