Hi Victor,

U-boats did have bells but the only time I can remember seeing one displayed for sure was during commissioning. That doesn't mean that is the only time they were displayed, just the only time I remember seeing a picture of one displayed.

At any rate they weren't normally displayed at sea. They may have been stored somewhere inside the boat while at sea though.

Please let us know if you find it. It is listed as having been scuttled with no causalities so it wouldn't be a war grave. Also note that diving inside a U-boat is always dangerous no matter how deep it is.

Regards,

Ken Dunn
