Since you weren't specific, here's a few:






If you're looking for external photos of open torpedo tubes, that's going to be tough, since outer doors were only opened when the ship was firing. I do have an engineers' drawing of a Type VIIC, but I don't think it shows any details.

Be more specific next time please.

As far as I know unless you can find under constructionor repair photos, you're not going to find a shot of a Type VII with her outer doors open.

In "Warship Pictorial #27" titled Kriegsmarine Type VII U-Boats, there are a couple of photos of a Type VIIB and VIIC in drydock with their outer torpedo doors open. Both photos are of high quality but shadows prevent a really definitive look inside.
By the way, this is by far the most comprehensive reference for the Type VII that I have seen.
I have accumaled several in preparation for my build in the near future.

Is the U-boat in the photos the U-505?

I'm from the government and I'm here to help.

subfixer-
do you mean in the photos Jeff published above? If so, that's U-995, at the UBoat memorial in Germany- (Laboe, I believe...)
