I hadn't thought about the lack of elevation for AA duties.
The increased mining strikes me as odd, as the S boats were not designed for mine laying and whilst you could obviously replace torpedo's with mines to make a decent job of it you would need more aft deck space.
RN Minelayers reduced the guns to carry more mines and kept the front gun, which was often the main weapon. Its interesting how differently each navy approached the same task.
Thanks again
