No, not the one, but you are onto my game. I think the subject of post-ww2 German weapons in the service of other countries is fascinating, like the French He-177's.

The correct answer served even later.

The former U-2518 was renamed the Roland Morillot and served until 1967 with the French Navy. There were at least four that served in the Russian navy until 1955, the last one was scuttled or used in weapon testing until 1973 which shouldn't count.

groovy. When did the last Type 21 U-Boat leave service ( museum doesn't count, nor do subsequent designs derived from this type)?

Well, pic at the naval archive site showed red or red-orange and grey or dark blue depending on fading, sunlight, etc.

Really does answer the question as there were undoubtly other colors but these were present and that is that. there cold also have been a dab of white here and there as mentioned above but hey, too bad.

Hope you are not asking for  Measrure colors.

Nevada was the target ship that was to be dropped on by "Dave's Dream" a B29, and was painted red and white. I think red with white details.

1935

 

The importance of submarine operations in the Pacific, Caribbean, and the South Atlantic leads the Navy Department to install the first submarine air-conditioning system on board USS Cuttlefish (SS-171), in spite of space constraints.

Well done, Shannon. To be precise, they were built at Mare Island Naval Shipyard, which is about 20 miles north of San Francisco. Your turn, sir.

How about,

 A-3 (SS-4), originally laid down as GRAMPUS (Submarine Torpedo Boat No. 4), and A-5 (SS-6), originally laid down as PIKE (Submarine Torpedo Boat No. 6), in December 1900, at San Francisco, California, by Union Iron Works.
