German S Boats in WW2

The Schnellboot or S-boot ("fast craft") was a type of German torpedo boat that saw service during World War II. The S-boote were approximately twice as large as their American and British counterparts, were better suited for the open sea, and had a substantially longer range, at approximately 700 nautical miles. These vessels were known to the Allies as "E-boats";

being only a boy in ww2 I always wondered how these craft were so successful (we were aware of them because they operated in inland waters) After seeing the hull and learning of the power that drove them it is little wonder. Their losses were remarkably low too I believe.

Was the hull not used as the design for german lifeboats after the war

Pogues took their name from a well known gaelic expression which means -"kiss my ----

Ive been playing PT boats Knights of the Sea on my PC as the allies. My British MTB's are no match for the German Eboats. When they show up the only thing you can do in a MTB is run away. lol
