[edit]

German Type VIIC submarines were preceded by the shorterType VIIB submarines.U-626 had a displacement of 769 tonnes (757 long tons) when at the surface and 871 tonnes (857 long tons) while submerged.^[2] She had a total length of 67.10 m (220 ft 2 in), apressure hull length of 50.50 m (165 ft 8 in), abeam of 6.20 m (20 ft 4 in), a height of 9.60 m (31 ft 6 in), and adraught of 4.74 m (15 ft 7 in). The submarine was powered by twoGermaniawerft F46 four-stroke, six-cylindersupercharged diesel engines producing a total of 2,800 to 3,200 metric horsepower (2,060 to 2,350 kW; 2,760 to 3,160 shp) for use while surfaced, twoBrown, Boveri & Cie GG UB 720/8double-acting electric motors producing a total of 750 metric horsepower (550 kW; 740 shp) for use while submerged. She had two shafts and two 1.23 m (4 ft)propellers. The boat was capable of operating at depths of up to 230 metres (750 ft).^[2]

The submarine had a maximum surface speed of 17.7 knots (32.8 km/h; 20.4 mph) and a maximum submerged speed of 7.6 knots (14.1 km/h; 8.7 mph).^[2] When submerged, the boat could operate for 80 nautical miles (150 km; 92 mi) at 4 knots (7.4 km/h; 4.6 mph); when surfaced, she could travel 8,500 nautical miles (15,700 km; 9,800 mi) at 10 knots (19 km/h; 12 mph).U-626 was fitted with five 53.3 cm (21 in)torpedo tubes (four fitted at the bow and one at the stern), fourteentorpedoes, one8.8 cm (3.46 in) SK C/35 naval gun, 220 rounds, and a2 cm (0.79 in) C/30 anti-aircraft gun.

Service history

[edit]

U-626 was assigned to the5th U-boat Flotilla for basic training, and upon completion was permanently assigned to the5th U-boat Flotilla.^[1] On 8 December 1942,U-626, under the direction ofLeutnant zur See (acting sub-lieutenant/ensign)Hans-Botho Bade leftBergen, Norway for her maiden patrol. On 14 December 1942,U-626 sent her final radio message at position58°40′N20°00′W / 58.667°N 20.000°W /58.667; -20.000 and was never heard from again. 47 men were lost with her.^[1]

Previously recorded fate

[edit]

U-626 was previously thought to have been sunk in the North Atlantic on 15 December 1942 by depth charges from US Coast Guard cutterUSCGCIngham. This attack was actually 200 nmi fromU-626's position and there is no evidence that the target was a U-boat.^[1]
