这 西洪德 （德语："海豹"），也被称为二十七型，是纳粹德国在二战期间制造的侏儒潜艇。它设计于1944年，由两名船员操作，在战争的最后几个月里被克里格斯马林号（德国海军）使用，击沉了9艘商船，并损坏了另外3艘商船，同时损失了35艘船只，其中大部分是由于天气恶劣。战后，法国海军一直使用三艘被俘船只，直到1953年。

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.

|---|---|
| 作用 | Midget Submarine (Coastal Defense/Attack) |
| National Origin | Nazi Germany (Kriegsmarine) |
| Year Introduced | 1944 (Operational January 1945) |
| 船员 | 2 (Commander and Engineer) |
| 长度 | 11.86 m (38 ft 11 in) |
| Beam | 1.7 m (5 ft 7 in) |
| Displacement (Submerged) | 17 long tons (17.3 tonnes) |
| Maximum Diving Depth | 30 m (98 ft) (Safe operational depth) |
Propulsion and Performance
- Propulsion: Diesel-electric system.
- Surfaced Engine: 1 x Büssing 6-cylinder diesel engine (60 hp).
- Submerged Motor: 1 x AEG electric motor (25 hp).
- Maximum Speed (Surfaced): 7.7 knots (14 km/h).
- Maximum Speed (Submerged): 6 knots (11 km/h).
- Maximum Range (Surfaced): 270 nautical miles at 7 knots (can be extended with external tanks).
- Maximum Range (Submerged): 63 nautical miles at 3 knots.
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.
- Post-War Use: Several captured Seehund submarines were used by the French Navy until 1953 for testing and training.
