What the...? Wasn't that the U-96 replica in Raiders?

According to that lame SW Insider this is the "submarine Wurffler,
which had been built for a German studio's film that was ultimately
cancelled."
I don't think so. I believe it's the submarine that was built for the
German movie Das Boot (1981). That movie went on to be nominated for
six Academy Awards. It became one of Germany's most successful movies
abroad.
Sheesh! What a pretty layout that SW insider has; if only the content
would be better...

PS: Why's Lucas wearing a fedora in one of the pics? ;)
