>Roll for U-Boat by making a post in this thread.
>Next, take the last three numbers of your post and that series of numbers will be your U-Boat.
>Look up fate of that U-Boat (links below), that's the fate you suffer as an imaginary crewman.
>Copy and paste the fate of your U-Boat and a pic if possible for us to envy or laugh at.

I'm just gonna quote Wikipedia.
Here's my boat, apparently it sunk two ships and damaged another.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/German_submarine_U-331
"The submarine was laid down on 26 January 1940 at the Nordseewerke yard at Emden, launched on 20 December 1940, and commissioned on 31 March 1941 under the command of Oberleutnant zur See Hans-Diedrich Freiherr von Tiesenhausen. She would ultimately be tracked by the RAF and crippled before being destroyed by the Royal Navy Fleet Air Arm in late 1942 with the loss of most of her crew."
>>30171335
"The boat's one and only patrol began with her departure from Kiel on 30 July 1942. Atlantic-bound, she was intercepted and sunk by the British submarine HMS Saracen southeast of the Faroe Islands on 3 August."

German submarine U-305 was a Type VIIC U-boat
During her career, the U-boat sailed on four combat patrols, sinking four ships, before she was sunk in January 1944 in mid-Atlantic, southwest of Ireland.
She was part of eight wolfpacks
The boat's final patrol commenced on 8 December 1943. She successfully attacked HMS Tweed southwest of Ireland. This ship sank in just two minutes, with the loss of 83 men.
U-305 was lost in January 1944. Fifty-one men died; there were no survivors.
U-305 was originally thought to have been sunk by the British destroyer HMS Wanderer and the frigate HMS Glenarm at 49°00′N 18°00′WCoordinates: 49°00′N 18°00′W on 17 January 1944.[4][5][6] but recent research suggests this attack sank U-377, and U-305 was lost by unknown cause, possibly a victim of one of her own torpedoes.[1]

This one made it though the war
1 merchant ship sunk (638 GRT)
2 warships sunk (1,696 tons)
German submarine U-764 was a Type VIIC U-boat built for Nazi Germany's Kriegsmarine for service during World War II. She was laid down on 1 February 1941 by Kriegsmarinewerft Wilhelmshaven as yard number 147, launched on 13 March 1943 and commissioned on 6 May 1943 under Oberleutnant zur See Hanskurt von Bremen.
Design Edit
German Type VIIC submarines were preceded by the shorter Type VIIB submarines. U-764 had a displacement of 769 tonnes (757 long tons) when at the surface and 871 tonnes (857 long tons) while submerged.[2] She had a total length of 67.10 m (220 ft 2 in), a pressure hull length of 50.50 m (165 ft 8 in), a beam of 6.20 m (20 ft 4 in), a height of 9.60 m (31 ft 6 in), and a draught of 4.74 m (15 ft 7 in). The submarine was powered by two Germaniawerft F46 four-stroke, six-cylinder supercharged diesel engines producing a total of 2,800 to 3,200 metric horsepower (2,060 to 2,350 kW; 2,760 to 3,160 shp) for use while surfaced, two Garbe, Lahmeyer & Co. RP 137/c double-acting electric motors producing a total of 750 metric horsepower (550 kW; 740 shp) for use while submerged. She had two shafts and two 1.23 m (4 ft) propellers. The boat was capable of operating at depths of up to 230 metres (750 ft).[2]
The submarine had a maximum surface speed of 17.7 knots (32.8 km/h; 20.4 mph) and a maximum submerged speed of 7.6 knots (14.1 km/h; 8.7 mph).[2] When submerged, the boat could operate for 80 nautical miles (150 km; 92 mi) at 4 knots (7.4 km/h; 4.6 mph); when surfaced, she could travel 8,500 nautical miles (15,700 km; 9,800 mi) at 10 knots (19 km/h; 12 mph). U-764 was fitted with five 53.3 cm (21 in) torpedo tubes (four fitted at the bow and one at the stern), fourteen torpedoes, one 8.8 cm (3.46 in) SK C/35 naval gun, 220 rounds, and an anti-aircraft gun. The boat had a complement of between forty-four and sixty.[2]

And another scuttled U-boat. At least it was by the kriegsmarine this time.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/German_submarine_U-822
>>30172842
The boat's career began with training at 8th U-boat Flotilla on 6 May 1943, followed by active service on 1 November 1943 as part of the 9th Flotilla in Brest, France. On 1 October 1944, she transferred to 11th Flotilla in Bergen, Norway; as the situation worsened in France following the invasion. She remained with 11th Flotilla until her surrender at the end of the war.
In eight patrols she sank one merchant ship, for a total of 638 gross register tons (GRT), and 2 warships sunk (1,696 tons).
Wolfpacks Edit
U-764 took part in eight wolfpacks, namely
Eisenhart 3 (9–15 November 1943)
Schill 3 (18–22 November 1943)
Weddigen (22–29 November 1943)
Hinein (26 January – 3 February 1944)
Igel 1 (3–17 February 1944)
Hai 1 (17–22 February 1944)
Preussen (22 February – 13 March 1944)
Dragoner (21–28 May 1944)
Fate Edit
U-764 surrendered on 14 May 1945 at Loch Eriboll, Scotland. She was sunk as a target in position 56°06′N 09°00′W as part of Operation Deadlight on 2 February 1946

She was ordered on 25 August 1941, and was laid down on 17 March 1943 at DeSchiMAG AG Weser, Bremen, as yard number 1082. She was launched on 21 December 1943 and commissioned under the command of Oberleutnant zur See Theodor Petersen on 8 April 1944.
On 9 May 1945, U-874 surrendered at Horten, Norway. She was later transferred to Lisahally, Northern Ireland on 29 May 1945. Of the 156 U-boats that eventually surrendered to the Allied forces at the end of the war, U-874 was one of 116 selected to take part in Operation Deadlight. U-874 was towed out on 31 December 1945, and sunk.

>On 9 May 1945, U-907 surrendered at Bergen, Norway. She was later transferred to Loch Ryan, Scotland on 2 June 1945. Of the 156 U-boats that eventually surrendered to the Allied forces at the end of the war, U-907 was one of 116 selected to take part in Operation Deadlight. U-907 was towed out on 7 December 1945, and sunk.
The wreck is located at 55°17′N 05°29′W.

U-38 conducted eleven patrols, as part of several flotillas. During her career, she sank over 30 enemy vessels and damaged a further one. U-38 ranks as one of the most successful U-boats in World War II.[3] She was scuttled west of Wesermünde (modern Bremerhaven) on 5 May 1945. Throughout the war, the U-Boat suffered no losses among her crew.[1]
Thanks for pointing out my error. Now I didn't surrender to the french.

Quoting wikipedia here:
>"All but one of U-505's crew were rescued by the Navy task group. The submarine was towed to Bermuda in secret and her crew was interned at a US prisoner-of-war camp where they were denied access to International Red Cross visits. The Navy classified the capture as top secret and prevented its discovery by the Germans."
>She is one of six U-boats that were captured by Allied forces during World War II, and the first warship to be captured by U.S. forces on the high seas since the War of 1812. In her uniquely unlucky career with the Kriegsmarine, she also had the distinction of being the "most heavily damaged U-boat to successfully return to port" in World War II (on her fourth patrol) and the only submarine in which a commanding officer took his own life in combat conditions (on her tenth patrol, following six botched patrols).[6] U-505 is one of four German World War II U-boats that survive as museum ships, and one of two Type IXCs still in existence, the other being U-534.

U-988 was sunk in the English Channel on June 22, 1944, the ship's first patrol. All hands lost. U-988 failed to sink or damage any enemy ships. I find the date she was sunk interesting because it was the third anniversary of the beginning of Operation Barbarossa.
Here's another interesting blurb from one of the sites: "8 Sep 1943. On 8 Sept, 1943 U-988 had a collision with her sister ship U-983 in the Baltic Sea training waters. U-983 sank with the loss of 5 men"

5 Jul 1943
The sinking of U-535 16.55 hrs, off Cape Vilano, Spain: a group of three inbound boats (U-170, U-535 and U-536) was attacked by British B-24 Liberator BZ751 (53 Sqn RAF/G, pilot F/S W. Anderson, RNZAF). All three boats successfully evaded the first attack, and U-536 was merely strafed during the second because the depth charges failed to release. As leading boat, U-536 then gave the signal to dive, but for unknown reasons U-535 remained surfaced and had to face the next attack alone. Despite flak damage to wings, fuselage and tailplane, the aircraft straddled U-535 with eight depth charges just abaft the conning tower and she sank with all hands. Due to the damage and one man being wounded by flak, the aircraft left the area immediately and returned to base.

>U 627 was sunk on 27 October 1942 just south of Iceland in position 59°14′N 22°49′W by depth charges from a British B-17 Flying Fortress bomber from 206 Squadron RAF. This resulted in the loss of all 44 crew members.
