[edit]This articles contains some inaccuracies with regard to the scuttling of the the U-1406 and U-1407. Although the scuttling of the U-1405 was done by its crew the U-1406 and 1407 were not. They were surrendered lawfully by their crews. It was Oberleutnant Gerhard Grumpelt, who was not a crew member of either boat, who scuttled them.
This is discussed here. http://uboat.net/articles/80.html
A report about Grumpelt’s Court Martial can be found in "Law Reports of Trials of War Criminals, Vol, 1, English Edition", HMSO, 1947.

The text states that for the Type XVIIA submarines the length to beam ratio was too high, resulting in an unnecessarily high drag. I think it wuld be normally put the other way round ie beam to length ratio too great, as it was the beam that was too great relative too the length — Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.31.202.145 (talk) 13:50, 4 April 2013 (UTC)
