Hello all I have picked up a half sheet of decals for S Boats in the Med and have become hooked on the Lobster decals I have run across the Pic of the actual embelem in one of my books but it does not identify which S boat it belongs all I have been able to find is that it is from the 3rd S Boat Flotllia which used the Sea Creature emblems on there boats. am hoping top indentify the Particular S Boat it belongs to any Ideas Anyone.

Hi Sacha,

The "Lobster" emblem is of S-35 with the 3rd flotilla in the
Mediterranean.
It sank on Feb. 28 1943 after hitting a mine norhtwest of Bizerte.

Cheers,
Joe

Hi Sascha,

I don't think that one exists....you will have to take an S-100
and backdate.

You can also refer to the prinzeugen site for some basic plans.
