	These 4 large U-cruisers were probably not laid down but one of them, U-112, possibly went a bit further than the rest. Information on those is very limited. Cancelled in May 1940. Some claim the U-112 was not only completed but sailed on a mysterious journey against the US in 1945 where she was sunk with all hands. A project known as CA-35 was founded to proof a group of divers had found the wreck but no evidence has been found to confirm the story and no evidence has either been found she was ever completed.
