I know it is a kitbash...but I thought it was cool... and during the war, someone would have built it if they thought they could have. They'd do anything back then to one up another country.
Its a cool fantasy unit. lol

ONI reports German plans to build the Type XIVB - the "Super Milkcow".
Building on the relative success of the XIV, the Germans plan to use a long retractable snorkel on a significantly larger XIV. This will allow the subs to run a "donor engine" while submerged.
Type XII and IX submarines can approach underwater, and using captured Italian rebreathing underwater swimming units, a crew member will attach an electrical connection at depth. The donor engine's batteries and the engine itself will allow the VII or IX-type uboats to charge with no additional power requirements and no more noise than a single charging uboat. Two uboats may be charged simultaneously. The donor engine is much larger than the drive engine, allowing more efficient recharge.
ONI suggests that the Germans may utilize the swimming units to connect fuel, air and fresh water hoses while submerged as well. All of this will allow submarines to function for extended duration underwater - a serious threat to Allied ports and shipping.
While the XIVB does not carry torpedoes for underway replenishment, the extended submerged range it provides will allow commanders to be much more judicious with shots.
On the diagram, fuel is colored red, water blue, and an unidentified fluid green. Reports indicate this fluid may be milk for cookies. ONI has moderate confidence in this intelligence.
