Teh Сехунд (Немецкий: "печать"), также известный как тип XXVII, был карлик подводной лодки производства нацистской Германии во время Второй мировой войны. Разработанный в 1944 году и управляемый экипажами из двух человек, он использовался Кригсмарине (ВМС Германии) в последние месяцы войны, потопив девять торговых судов и повредив еще три, потеряв при этом 35 лодок, в основном связанных с плохой погодой. Французский флот использовал три захваченных лодки после войны до 1953 года.

General Characteristics and Role
The Seehund (“Seal” or “Sea Dog”), designated Type XXVIIB, was the most successful German midget submarine of World War II, seeing action in the final months of the conflict (1944–1945). Designed under the direction of Dr. Fischer and Grim, the Seehund was engineered from the start as a true small submarine, incorporating the lessons learned from earlier, less effective midget types. Its small size and quiet, slow-speed electric drive made it extremely difficult for Allied radar and sonar (Asdic) to detect, optimizing it for stealthy coastal operations and hit-and-run attacks against Allied shipping in the English Channel and the North Sea.

Armament and Service Record
- Armament: 2 x 21-inch (533 mm) G7e torpedoes, carried externally in fixed racks below the hull.
- Production: Approximately 285 units were completed before the end of the war, though over 1,000 were originally ordered.
- Combat Effectiveness: Despite the late introduction, the Seehund was the most effective German midget submarine. In 142 sorties between January and April 1945, they sank 8 Allied ships (totaling over 17,000 gross tons) and damaged three others.
