You should look at the book, attack and Capture the story of the U-505. I contributed a chapter to the book about the post war life of the u-505. I had really tried to nail down the schedule and saw there was much back and forth on where the boat would go and when. The changing war situtation caused schedule changes. There was a tour being set up for the west coast but the Japanese surrendered before this took place. There should be notes left in the u505 records about this as we also dealt with it in the exhibit but I dont believe the whole schedule was presented.
Ed contacted me about this and I'll see what I may have in my own notes.
I frankly forget how much information is in the book and even if I was able to piece together the whole schedule, will have to consult the notes.
