Welman submarine
The Welman submarine was a Second World War one-man British midget submarine developed by the Special Operations Executive. It only saw action once and was not particularly successful.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Welman Type Midget ) 〕
==Design==
Designed by the Commanding Officer of SOE's Inter Services Research Bureau (ISRB), Lt Col. John Dolphin, as a method of delivering a large explosive charge below an enemy ship, the Welman was a submersible craft in length (including explosive charge), weighing about . Unlike the "Chariot" human torpedo, the operator was enclosed within the craft, and did not need to wear diving gear. The Welman could transport a time-fuzed explosive charge of Torpex, which was intended to be magnetically attached to a target's hull.〔Akermann, p. 462〕 Vision was through armoured glass segments in the small conning tower, and no periscope was fitted.
