I will post the various drawings in here with some basic information on each.

From Wiki.
E-boat (German: Schnellboot, or S-Boot, meaning "fast boat") was the Western Allies' designation for fast attack craft of the Kriegsmarine during World War II. The most popular, the S-100 class, were very seaworthy, heavily armed, and fast – capable of sustaining 43.5 knots (80.6 km/h; 50.1 mph) and briefly accelerating to 48 knots (89 km/h; 55 mph.

These craft were 35 metres (114' 10") long and 5.1 metres (16' 9"') in beam, half again longer and much sleeker than any of the Allied PT boats. Their diesel engine propulsion had substantially longer range (approximately 700 nautical miles) than the gasoline-fueled American PT boat and the generally similar British Motor Torpedo Boat (MTB).

As a result, the Royal Navy later developed better matched versions of MTBs using the Fairmile 'D' hull design


During the war the Kriegsmarine had in total 216 S-boats be built at der Fr. Lürssen-Werft, Bremen-Vegesack, at Joh. Schlichting-Werft, Travemünde, at Gusto-Werft, Schiedam/Holland, and at Danziger Waggonfabrik.

The losses of the S-Boat-Force were:

Killed in action 767 persons
Wounded 620 persons
Prisoner of War 322 persons
Lost 140 boats



S1 1930 (as first completed 1930) discarded prior to WW2.

Added S2-S6 to post one with info.

S2-S6 were the production versions of the experimental S1.

Very nice work Krakatoa!
I would be tempted to use a medium-dark grey for some of the panel and hull lines rather than black, but other than that these look good.

I am still looking for further information on the S-Boots of the Kriegsmarine. The more information I can post with these drawings, the more they come alive.

During the war the Kriegsmarine had in total 216 S-boats be built at der Fr. Lürssen-Werft, Bremen-Vegesack, at Joh. Schlichting-Werft, Travemünde, at Gusto-Werft, Schiedam/Holland, and at Danziger Waggonfabrik.

The losses of the S-Boat-Force were:

Killed in action 767 persons
Wounded 620 persons
Prisoner of War 322 persons
Lost 140 boats


S7-S13

The major difference between the S2 and S7 types was the change from petrol to diesel engines. This required a larger hull while the armament was kept the same. The torpedoes were the 53.3 cm from the start.

Very nice schnellboote. I've promised you some badges, but for these I've just found any (yet).
