Good job, CJ. The "Bamiyan Afghanistan Laser Project", proposed for 2012. The original Buddhas were destroyed by the Taliban back in 2001.

Well, I agree they are much more interesting than submarines, however they're a long way from LaJoya.
My bet this is a 1970's design German deisel submarine, and the set up in the photograph is for some kind of museum or display -- in Germany.

I don't follow you Water. The FGR had submarines back then - indeed they were one of the few western countries building modern deisel boats then. This could be a British boat, I suppose, but, except for the Tang class (only 4 built) it couldn't be one of ours.

What I wanted to say is only, George, that submarines from 1944 look ... well, very similar to the one on CJ's pic.

George, it's not a German design, and unfortunately it's not for
museum purposes either.

Well Walter, that's why the Germans didn't design this one. They
wouldn't have used such old technology, right? It's actually a
fairly new submarine...

Built by the guys in their own country, after a transfer of technology from France...

(Actually, I was supposed to serve on a submarine - would have been the first and only conscript on one - but I convinced them that I could swim but not dive very good. )
