I seriousily doubt that the x class had a range of 1000 miles... Could anybody post links that tell how much fuel the x class had?

The X-Craft was towed to it's target area by a full-size submarine and the endurance figures given are more a question of how long the passage crew could tolerate the conditions inside. I don't have a figure available, but at a guess, the actual range of the X-Craft is probably only about 50-100 miles or so. Ian Dunster 20:53, 20 August 2006 (UTC)

Just found a range figure - it's 82 Nautical miles (151.8 km) at 2 knots. Ian Dunster 14:37, 12 January 2007 (UTC)

Just found some more figures - that 82 nm one above was the submerged range - surfaced range was a surprising 500 nm. The 500 nm figure itself is for the training XT class but I am assuming that the range would be the same for the operational X & XE classes as well. Ian Dunster 15:27, 12 January 2007 (UTC)

Where is the source that X-5 was scuttled? I thought it was sunk by gunners from the Tirpitz during Operation Source and not recovered....although one of the side charges was found unexploded on thebottom of the fjord.
