Holland 602 type submarine blueprints

I'm looking for Holland 602 type submarine blueprints (U.S. H-class). Does anyone have a source for those plans?

Cheers Andreas

Hi Andreas,

Try the maritime museum greenwhich london,

Hi Andreas,

I assume you have a had a look over at the SubCommittee site. They have more models/interest in US Hollands perhaps?

David

These boat were also built in the U.K, Canada and Russia. So I thought someone might have stumbled across some good plans. I'll try the subcomittee as well.

Cheers Andreas

Hi Andreas,

I wonder if you have searched this Forum - there is quite a lot of info here:

https://www.theassociationofmodelsubmariners.com/t55-holland-plans?highlight=Holland

Including plans for the US version kindly posted by Giovanni.

I can only speak for the UK Holland but there are quite big differences between these and the US versions - superstructure etc. Plans are readily available for the UK Holland (e.g from John Lambert see thread above.)

You are maybe best to decide on one particular Holland to base your work on.

I'M Aware of this thread and no, that's not the boat I'm looking for. Holland built a series of subs, among them the Type 602 or H-Class. It was the most widespread non-German Sub of WWI.

So I'm looking of a more detailed version of this here:

Or the rest of this here:






btw:

"The Holland"

Ah now I understand the H Class! (They are not referred to as Hollands here in the UK, that is reserved for the Royal Navy's first submarines the Hollands.)

You do have some quite good drawings already. To get anything better you are probably going to have to enquire of the RN submarine museum or Greenwich, as Nigel suggests.

David

Thanks, I'll try that then....

Cheers Andreas

Hi,

I am also looking for plans for the 602 (preferably 602E). My great-grandfather served in HMS H6 and I would like to create a CAD model of it. Can anyone send me a set of plans?

Many thanks,
Michael

The 602 boats (export version) differ from the EB26 design in that the space forward of the Central Operating Compartment (Control Room) is a single compartment in the 602 and subdivided into Forward Battery and Torpedo Room on the U.S. Boats Hi1 through H-3. The 602s were also equipped with the Fessenden Oscillator unlike H-1 through H-3.

I have plans for EB26 and am glad to share, will try to dig up the 602 prints as well.

I am researching the H-Class and it variants and would most grateful for any images or personal histories from their crews.

Yours aye,

Hi,

funny.....2 years after my last post, there's still interest. An update:

I contacted the Royal Maritime museum and got scans of plans of the British H-Class, i.e. H-51. Excellent plans which I used to create a 3D-model of the boat.





So I looked for US H-Class and ended up with RN H-Class
