The Molch was based on torpedo technology, and
carried two G7e torpedoes attached externally on either side of the craft.
It was fully electrical and was created for coastal operations, with a range of
64 km (35 nmi) at 5 knots (9.3 km/h; 5.8 mph). The front
section of the boat held a large battery. Behind the battery was the operator's
position, which sat between two small trimming tanks. Behind the operator sat
the electric motor. The complicated system of tanks made it difficult to
control during combat operations. The first of 393 boats were delivered on June
12, 1944 and were built by AG Weser in Bremen.
