FuMB-26 Tunis
A further advanced radar warning device, the Tunis covered the 3cm band which was used by US radar. The antenna was horn-shaped, and as with the Fliege, it covered a wide horizontal arc and a narrow vertical area. To save bridge space, Fliege and the Tunis’s antenna were mounted back-to-back on a single pole. The watch crew still had to periodically rotate the antenna and it had to be taken below deck every time the boat submerged. Tunis entered service in May 1944.
