I studied the report more closely, for those interested it is available here: [www.cia.gov]

In my opinion the report describes a type XXIII submarine, the "thing" under the bow is a Balkon-GHG (hydrophone). In fact one U-boat of this type (U-2344) was stored at the Neptunwerft in Rostock from its salvage in January 1955 until being broken up in 1958.

However, the other information provided in the report resembles the story of U-929 which had been built by the Neptunwerft in 1944 and was one of only four U-boats of the new type VIIC/41 built there.
