Another German WW2 submarine located off Norway
The oil company Statoil was working on a pipeline off the coast of Norway when they came across the remains of the sunken submarine.
The boat began training on March 22 with the 5th U-boat Flotilla but moved on to the 11th flotilla for operations. She was one of nine Type VIIs that the Kriegsmarine fitted with an experimental synthetic rubber skin of anechoic tiles known as Alberich, which had been designed to counter the Allies' asdic/sonar devices.
