How many WW II U-boats are left in the world?

Hi,

I was at the Chicago Museum of Science and Industry yesterday, and had a chance to see the great new (well not new but its been awhile since I've been there) wing of the museum for the U-505 exhibit. If you have never seen it, and plan to visit Chicago its a must see in my opinion. We took the tour inside which was awesome, the tour guide mentioned that U-505 is one of only 5 remaining WW II era German U-boats still in exsistence. I asked her after the tour where the other 4 were located, she said she wasn't 100% positive but two in Germany and two others in Europe, but couldnt be more specific. Now I was curiously and Googled "surviving u-boats" and could only find U-505 in Chicago and U-995 in Germany.

Was the guide mistaken. Are there only two left in the world. And if there are more, where are they?

Thanks
Steve
