  U-2511 will be our last U-boat to be included here as she was a pretty special boat. This brings our number of U-boats up to 1085.

• 
  14:00 - Added 5 more U-boats to the U-boats after World War Two page. Those are the U-262, U-471, U-712, U-758 and U-766. That page now contains 45 U-boats and should be next to perfect.
