German Type X submarine Type X ( XB ) U - boats were a special type of German submarine ( U - boat ) . Although intended as long - range mine - layers , they were later used as long - range cargo transports , a task they shared with the Type IXD and Italian " Romolo " - class submarines . History . The Type X was originally designed specifically to accommodate the newly developed Schachtmine A ( SMA ) moored mine . The initial design provided dry storage for the mines , which needed their detonators to be individually adjusted before launch ; this submarine was projected to have displaced up to 2 , 500 tons . A further variant , the Type XA was projected , which would have supplemented the main mine chamber with extra mine shafts in the saddle tanks . Neither type entered production . A total of eight Type XB boats were produced , which replaced the mine chamber of the projected Type XA with six vertical wet storage shafts in the forward section of the hull . Up to 18 mines could be carried in these shafts , with an additional 48 mines in a series of 12 shafts set into the saddle tanks on each side . They only had two torpedo tubes , both at the stern . When used as cargo - carrying submarines they carried freight containers in the mine shafts ( or had the freight containers welded on top of the lateral shafts , preventing their use for mines ) . The first Type XB was launched in May 1941 . At 2 , 710 tons submerged and fully loaded , they were the largest German U - boats ever built , and they had to sacrifice diving speed and agility . Service history . Six of the eight boats built were sunk during the war ( five with all hands ) but two survived the war . One survivor was , which surrendered to US Navy ships on 14 May 1945 while en route for Japan with a cargo that included 560 kg uranium oxide , two Me 262 jet fighters , and 10 jet engines .

Bernard SIMB AB 10 The Bernard SIMB AB 10 was a French single engine , single seat , highly streamlined , cantilever , all metal low wing monoplane of advanced design . It first flew in 1924 but was not ordered into production . Design and development . The Bernard SIMB AB 10 or Bernard SIMB AB 10 C 1 single seat fighter , which first flew in the Summer of 1924 , first appeared in public as the SIMB AB - C 1 at the Paris Aero Show of 1922 . The AB in this name stood for Adolphe Bernard and C for " chasseur " ( ) with 1 indicating single - seat . Advanced for its time , it was a streamlined cantilever low wing monoplane with a closely cowled , liquid cooled engine . The AB - C . 1 was an all metal aircraft with straight edged , slightly tapered wings which had straight wing tips tips rounded at the leading edge . Ailerons extended to the tips . The tail surfaces had straight swept leading edges but had rounded trailing edges on the control surfaces . The tailplane was mounted on top of the fuselage and the rudder extended to the bottom of the fuselage , moving between separate elevators . Its fuselage , rounded in cross - section , tapered to the rear and curved down forwards over the engine to the low mounted two blade propeller . The open cockpit , with a brief , faired headrest , was placed over the middle of the wing . It had a conventional undercarriage with a pair of single mainwheels and a tailskid but the mainwheel mounting was unusual , a wide chord faired inverted T - shaped pylon . The engine was a Hispano - Suiza V - 8 , cooled by a pair of Lamblin radiator s placed horizontally side by side below the fuselage . It was at this stage of its development that the AB - C . 1 was displayed at the Paris Aero Show in December 1922 , though without its rather ugly radiators . Over twenty months passed before the first flight of what became the SIMB AB 10 . In this period the wing structure was revised and the span extended by with more squared - off tips . The fin area was increased with a curved leading edge and the elevator trailing edge straightened . The SIMB AB 10 had its radiators close to each other , vertical and side by side , just ahead of the central undercarriage member . A late alteration braced the faired axle with vertical V - form struts on each side . It finally flew in August 1924 , piloted by Florentin Bonnet . In a biplane age it was judged too radical and expensive , so no production order was awarded .
