>>64330018U-18 had a major training mishap in '36, 8 out of 20 died. Made it through most of the war, sank 2000 tons, damaged another 8000, until it was damaged in a bombing raid of its harbor and scuttled. Soviets raised it, then sank it again for target practice.

>>64329251Rolling
>>64333451U4511 warship sunk, total tonnage 550 tonsSunk on 21 December 1941 in the North Atlantic north-west of Tangier, in position 35.55N, 06.08W, by depth charges from a British Swordfish aircraft (812 Sqn FAA/A). 44 dead and 1 survivor.

>>64329251Ok, but I'm requisitioning some antacids.
Im going to be fine
>>64336477even digits couldnt save me :(
This was the first time I learned that Fido torpedoes could be dropped from four-engine heavy bomber patrol planes. U-boats were inevitably extinct!
>>64329251Old School.
>>64329251Guess I'll get btfo
>>64336704>Decommissioned on 24 March 1945 at Bremen-Vegesack.>Scuttled on 30 April 1945 at Bremen-Vegesack. Wreck blown up on 4 April 1946 and broken up in 1947.Ayyy, we living mein negers!!
>>64329251NOT YET
Für Volk und Vaterland
>>64336730Okay since U-730 didn't exist i'm going with U-30.Eight patrols between 1939-40 before being relegated to a training/school boat for the rest of the war. Sunk 16 ships for 86,165 gross tons and was scuttled in May of '45. Sadly Fritz-Lemp who took her out on all her combat patrols died later in 1941 aboard U-110.
>>64336748>given to Italy >only used for training>1 single patrol>0 engagements 0 lossesJaaaaaaa
>>64336560>Fido torpedoesFirst use was in may of 1943 and they destroyed a grand total of 37 u-boats (out of 785 destroyed overall)
>>64337224>survived for half a year>sunk two ships during 2 patrols (9500 grt)>sunk by depth charges and ramming with only one survivor
Rolling, how bad could it be
>>64337267>No ships sunk or damaged>Scuttled on 5 May 1945 in Gelting Bay. Wreck broken up.>Unlike many other U-boats, which during their service lost men due to accidents and various other causes, U-267 did not suffer any casualties (we know of) until the time of her loss.Nothing ever happens
Rolling for survival
>>64337352>Sunk on 9 May 1942 in the North Atlantic south of Cape Hatteras, in position 34.13N, 76.34W, by depth charges from the US Coast Guard cutter USCGC Icarus. 15 dead and 33 survivorsNo ships sunk on two patrols but made it to the east coast of the US. Apparently the second sub that the Americans sank in their own waters and the first one to yield survivors. Captain Rathke died in 2001 aged 90 and painted pic rel whilst a PoW
>>64338992>Unlike many other U-boats, which during their service lost men due to accidents and various other causes, U-992 did not suffer any casualties (we know of) until the time of her loss.Quite uneventful, just 1,060 tons sunk patrolling around Norway
>>64329251One thing about these threads is you learn all the interesting ways the Allies killed Uboats in the war>ZU BEFEHL, GROSSADMIRAL
>>64339093>u-93>8 ships sunk, total tonnage 43,392 GRT >Sunk on 15 January 1942 in the North Atlantic north-east of Madeira, in position 36.40N, 15.52W, by depth charges from the British destroyer HMS Hesperus. 6 dead and 40 survivors>captain died in 2008 in BerlinSunk by one of the Englanders' most famous destroyers, lived to a ripe old ageI'll take it
>>64330094>u-94 scored a kill in the dark>>64331406406 suffers failure to launch agaaaaiiiiiin
What's the worst that could possibly happen?
>>64339105>u-105>22 ships sunk, total tonnage 123,924 GRT; 1 warship sunk, total tonnage 1,546 tons>Sunk on 2 June 1943 in the Atlantic west of Dakar, in position 14.15N, 17.35W, by depth charges from a one-of-a-kind French Potez-CAMS 141 flying boat named "Antarès" (Esc 4E FAFL). 53 dead (all hands lost).Glorious career, ignominious end, sunk by the Fr*nch
>>64339105>22 ships sunkThis is good>all hands lostThis is not so good
>>64339116>What's the worst that could possibly happen?56 dead(all hands lost). Sorry anon
>>64339116>Type XB Boat U-116>Survived 6 months of active service>1 ship sunk, 1 damaged in 4 patrols>Fate unknown, last radio transmission was from the middle of the AtlanticWell that sucks. At least with dying in a battle on record, there's some sense of finality and the ability to say you met a warrior's end.
