The submarines of the class 202 were a briefly used by the German Navy submarine class. Their task was primarily to coastal protection in the Baltic Sea.
History
When setting up the German Navy the rebuilding of a U- boat arm was projected at the beginning. The construction of twelve micro - submarines for coastal protection was approved by the WEU in 1956. This could not be greater than 350 ts.
Originally up to 40 submarines of the class to be built, as the Marine intensive monitoring of the Baltic Sea was planning.
But arguments about goal setting and furnishing of such a U- boat and always new requests for changes by the Navy delayed the construction considerably. For a time it was planned to provide the third boat with a new Walter propulsion system, but the preparations were adjusted for this. Finally, it was decided to build two boats as acoustic test vehicle for a new sonar system. Against the tradition to provide submarines with number two 202er were named after the designers Hans Friedrich Techel and Schurer, who had been instrumental in the German submarine development.
The construction of the two boats began in 1961 and lasted until 1965. Hans Techel, baptized on 15 October 1965 was as godfather community Ottenhoefen, the Friedrich Schurer was baptized on 6 April 1966.
After the two boats had not met the expectations set for them and the Navy had no use for these small vehicles, they were asked for cost reasons, already on December 15, 1966 out of service and placed in the Naval Arsenal Kiel. The two boats were scrapped a few years later. As construction costs for these two boats DM 30 million were given.
Technology
The two boats differed in the tail rudder design and the Friedrich Schurer received a Kort nozzle, which corresponded Hans Techel the "normal" tail rudder design of the Class 205
