I was stationed at the Naval Shipyard, Portsmouth, NH, 1946-1947. At the time there were a couple of captured U-boats (U-2513, U-3008). The Navy was using them as models while they experimented with some of our own Fleet Boats from WW2. Two of the subs I remember were ODAX and Amberjack. The U-boats were serviceable and did go out to sea. No U.S. subs had Snorkel systems during the war so far as I know, they all had to surface to re-charge.
