Armor Model
Overview
The Type IX ocean submarines emerged as an evolution of the Type I and were developed for long-range raid destinations, including the Caribbean and as far as the U.S. coastline. The IXC/40 series of submarines became the largest in this class. The lead submarine, U-190, completed six patrols between 1942 and 1945 and sank two Allied ships. On May 19, 1945, the submarine surrendered to a Canadian frigate and was officially added to the Canadian Navy as a trophy.
