The Conning Tower
The Conning Tower 2001 - 2008
This was a huge user-supported members area that required fee for subscribing. We started this in 2001 and since then many visitors have joined and enjoyed the material found there. The name "Conning Tower" might continue as a "club" of sorts, mailing list or other means.
The Conning Tower closing for new subscribers / renewals
As of Jan 2008 the Conning Tower will be closed for new subscribers and renewals. This is due to the fact that later in 2008 almost the entire section will be open to all uboat.net visitors. This means tens of thousands of new pages will be made available. Current members will, of course, enjoy the access much further into 2008.
Why this change?
The section operated as a members area for almost 7 years - but was then merged with the rest of the site. Reasons for this change include simplicity (one large site instead of two large ones) and the many benefits of opening our vast databases to all.
Possibility of supporting uboat.net
It is possible to help us cover the cost of operating uboat.net. This is possible by two main ways:
- Donations through the KAGI payment service ($15, $30 or $45)
- Donations through PayPal – account gummi@uboat.net (any amount)
- Get me a beer when in Reykjavik, Iceland! :)
Donating is by no means necessary to enojoy the site. It‘s all voluntary but welcome of you feel like it.
