166 cases of revised fates.

Boats with no certain revision dates
The following is a list of U-boats that have revised post-war fate listed but we're not certain when the revision was done (in many cases a certain fate has been revised again and again post-war).

There are probably many boats missing from this list since probably most U-boat fates have been revised one time or another.

0 boats with revised fates without known dates.
