[edit] Don't think this is U-Class

GOing on the name alone, I would suggest this submarine was V-Class rather than U-Class. I know wikipedia currently lacks such as category but going by naming convention if nothing else, it seem improbable that this was a U-class boat - PocklingtonDan 20:15, 20 December 2006 (UTC)

Absolutely right! —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 87.180.109.78 (talk) 08:19, 23 April 2007 (UTC).

Correct in this case - Venturer was V-Class, but as a general warning DON'T go on name alone, because four U-Class had "V" names - Varangian, Vandal, Varne (of January 1943) and Vox (of January 1943) - while seven V-Class had "U" names - Upshot and Urtica, plus five others which were cancelled. Just to add to the confusion, the above-mentioned Varne and Vox were swiftly transferred to the Free Norwegigian and Free French Navies respectively and renamed Ula and Curie, and new submarines then building were given the same names - and these replacements Vox (of September 1943) and Varne (of February 1944) were of the V-class.

[edit] Periscope?

Instead of telescope, last word of antepenultimate paragraph. Ricky cosmos 18:42, 21 July 2007 (UTC)
