I feel the Type 21 is an excellent trade off with losing the deck gun. Why have it when you can do so much underwater? A true submarine not simply an under water boat.

With it's speed, homing torpedoes and depth range I feel if they had come out sooner and had a better leader than Hitler they would have dominated the waters of the Atlantic and Pacific. I would have loved to have been a captain on one of those.
