U-Boats in the Royal Navy - 1945 to 1947
Posted by: Derek Waller ()

Dear All,

I am seeking detailed information about 6 of the U-Boats allocated to the UK in 1945 and then “operated” by the Royal Navy between 1945 and 1947.

They are: U-712, U-953, U-1108, U-1171, U-2348 and U-3017.

I know the circumstances of their allocation to the UK, and I know the details of their disposal after they were discarded by the Royal Navy. However it's the bit in-between where the details are missing.

I know that they were used "for trials, experiments, etc", but that's about all. Where, for instance, were they based? Was it at Lisahally or Gosport or somewhere else?

So, is there anyone, probably ex-Royal Navy, who knows what these 6 U-boats got up to, where they were based, and who crewed them, etc?

If anyone can remember, or alternatively, can possibly point me in the direction of any original source material, I really should be most grateful.

I look forward to hearing from anyone who can help - please.

Yours aye

Derek
