Here I am
Actually the last type with a pipe was the Type 19 (which was the first diesel run class); from Type 23 on, every type had, like the boats from ww2, one or two exaust vents on the hull sides.
You can see them in this nice pic of U-54 steaming at full speed
U-111 manouvering
and on this nice model of U-64
Not every class, houever had the exaust vents places near the stern.
Type 43 had the exaust vents paced near the conning tower
I don't know however if that was an unicum or if other classes had similar arrangment.
btw I didn't know UB-1 had a pipe too; where was it placed ?
