Ingenieurskantoor voor Scheepsbouw

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ingenieurskantoor voor Scheepsbouw (engineer-office for shipbuilding) was a Dutch dummy company set up by the German Navy Office after WW I in order to maintain and develop German submarine know-how and to circumvent the limitations set by the Treaty of Versailles. The company designed several submarine types, including the Soviet Type S Submarine and the prototypes for the German Type II submarine and the German Type VII submarine.

The company was a joint venture by the German shipyards AG Vulkan and the Krupp-owned Germaniawerft in Kiel and AG Weser in Bremen.
