Hai (midget submarine)

Hai (midget submarine)

The "Hai" (shark) was an advanced model of the "Marder"-class midget submarines created in Germany during World War II. Its prototype performed poorly during test runs and therefore no other boats were produced.

The "Hai" was thirty-six meters long and its length allowed for larger batteries, giving it the maximum speed of twenty knots under water. In addition, the "Hai" could remain under water for up to two hours.
