The V-80 (German: Versuchs-U-Boot V 80) was a 76-ton experimental submarine and the only representative of the German Type V design produced for Nazi Germany’s Kriegsmarine.
The prototype was completed in 1940 in Friedrich Krupp Germaniawerft in Kiel. The four-man vessel was designed to test the Walter hydrogen peroxide-based turbine propulsion system.
Its range was 50Â nmi (93Â km; 58Â mi) at 28 knots (52Â km/h; 32Â mph)
