Shipyard Report. |
|
| |
|
|
| |
On 8 June 1941 the boat arrived in "TAMA" to carry out major repair work. The first shipyard conference was on 8 June, in which all of the work requested by us was accepted according to the work order. |
|
| |
On 12 June 1944 the boat was docked for examination of the hull. Hereby it was determined that the port aft diving plane and both protective bars for the propellers were missing. The shipbuilding work, which essentially consisted of replacing the upper deck, was started immediately under the guidance of the shipbuilding engineer, Herrn Müller. |
|
| |
After opening the construction hatch, the removal of the engine parts to be repaired in the workshops began. |
|
| |
On 22 June 1944 was a second shipyard meeting, in which an completion date calendar was set. The same was generally adhered to, so that the first sea trial could take place on 15 August 44. Apart from a few small things, this was satisfactory, so that the boat was able to leave the shipyard on 20 August 1944. |
|
| |
The work carried out by the shipyard was carried out satisfactorily in terms of shipbuilding and the diesel section. |
|
| |
The Electrical section did not always deliver flawless work, so that subsequent defects had to be corrected on board. |
|
| |
The rough running of the order transmission- and gyro-compass converters as well as hydraulic oil pump C, could not be remedied despite the installation of new ball bearings. |
|
| |
The refrigerator installed in the last few days and was only operational for a few hours. |
|
| |
The hotplates and switches of the kitchen stove were overhauled in the absence of new ones, a everyday failures could not be avoided. |
|
| |
The electric piston bilge pump we requested with an output of 15-20 tons/hour could not be procured from the shipyard, since the pump is not vital for the forthcoming transit home, it was dispensed with. |
|
| |
When taking the fuel transfer pump apart, it was found that the housing and capsules were badly knocked out or worn. Since the pump is used little or not at all during the transit home and still has 50% of its capacity, the housing and the capsules were not replaced. |
|
| |
Inspection of the machine parts overhauled in the workshops could only be approved in exceptional cases. |
|
| |
Some of the requested equipment and consumables were procured by the shipyard, the rest was supplied by the Kobe office. |
