Dolfijn (3) in the dry-dock. RDM shipyard, 1969. Note that the aft torpedo tubes do not have doors that seal off the outer casing. The forward tubes do have such doors in order to improve the streamline of the boat. (Photo: © Gerard Dillerop).

Top of Dolfijn (3)'s sail. RDM shipyard, 1969. The big grey dome is the top of the snort intake mast. The navigation periscope is covered with a red hood . The small mast between scope and snort is the radio mast which can be used at periscope depth. All masts are painted with special paint in order to reduce their radar signature.
