Hi Joe,

U-195 was a strictly cargo u-boat which set out from Biscay with U-180 for Djakarta 21 August 1944 but it had no torpedoes except stern tubes. U-180 sank in the Gironde estury.

U-196 does have a mystery story attached relating to a graveyard in Sumatra. There is also a claim she was seen being escorted into a Chilean fiord by a Chilean cruiser. her mission was to sail aroound Australia to Kobe for new batteries and sink ships along the way.

U-851 went missing south of the Azores in March 1944 en route for Penang.
