editIs the reference to a "Type XXVII U-boat" that this was contending with for resources correct? It seems that this submarine is a type XXVII. Was the XXIII or XXI the other type? DulcetTone (talk) 16:56, 18 December 2011 (UTC)

For the modern minesweeping ROV, see Ensdorf-class minesweeper. Learn more This article includes a list of general references, but it lacks sufficient corresponding inline citations. (November 2017) The Seehund (German: "seal"), also known as Type XXVII, was a midget submarine manufactured by Nazi Germany during World War II. Designed in 1944 and operated by two-man crews, it was used by the Kriegsmarine (German Navy) during the closing months of the war, sinking nine merchant vessels and damaging an additional three, while losing 35 boats, mostly attributed to bad weather. The French Navy used four captured boats after the war until 1953.
