Vesikko was a submarine of the Finnish Navy in World War II. It was designed by Dutch Ingenieurskantoor voor Scheepsbouw den Haag (I.v.S) and built in 1933 by the Crichton-Vulcan shipyard in Turku, Finland. It served as a direct prototype (named as CV-707) for German Type II U-boats. Between the years 1933 and 1934 the German Navy carried out trials with the submarine in the Turku Archipelago. In 1936, the Finnish Navy bought it and named it as Vesikko.

Vesikko was one of five submarines to serve the Finnish Navy. The other four were the three larger Vetehinen class boats Vetehinen, Vesihiisi, Iku-Turso (named after Finnish mythology characters, see Kalevala) and the small Saukko (Finnish for otter). The word "vesikko" is the Finnish name for the European mink, a small predator now near extinction (already extinct within Finland).

Vesikko saw service during World War II. Like other submarines of the Finnish Navy, she patrolled the Gulf of Finland during the Winter War against the Soviet Baltic Fleet. On December 1 and 19 December 1939, Vesikko made attempts to attack the Soviet heavy cruiser Kirov and battleship Marat, both of which which had been damaged by Finnish coastal batteriers. [1]

During the Continuation War, Vesikko continued her patrolling career but there were few targets of opportunity due to extensive minefields laid by Finnish and Germans forces on the eastern half of Gulf of Finland, which essentially blockaded the Soviet ships in their ports. Nonetheless, in 3 July 1941, Vesikko managed to torpedo one Soviet merchant ship named Vyborg of 3,500 tons.

After the war Vesikko was decommissioned because of the obligations of the Paris Peace Treaties that forbade Finland having submarines. Vesikko was lying as a wreck for years. It was eventually put up for sale for anyone willing to buy it. Fortunately former crew members of the submarine managed to rescue and restore it. The submarine currently lies on the island of Suomenlinna. It has served as a museum during the summers since 1973 as a part of the Military Museum of Finland. Vesikko is the last surviving Type II submarine in the world.

It should start a gui that finishes up the installation of Android SDK.

Then get suitable bootloader eg. ClockworkMod or TWRP

And finally SuperSu

1. Preparing the Nexus

Enable developer mode by going to Settings –> About Device and clicking the build number 7 times. Enable Usb-debugging in Settings –> Developer Settings

Connect the nexus with an usb cable and do backup.

1

adb backup -apk -shared -all

2. Unlock the bootloader

Enter twrp/clockworkmod by booting into recovery mode.

Enable the data mount from twrp-gui

Copy the SuperSU to the device.

1

adb push Downloads/UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.01.zip /sdcard/

After that the SuperSU should be installable on twrp. Install it and reboot.

Nexus is rooted.

5. Afterthoughts

Please support developers of those projects. After all they make our devices better.
