'''German submarine ''U-2524''''' was a [[Type XXI submarine|Type XXI]] [[U-boat]] (one of the "''[[Elektroboot]]e''") of [[Nazi Germany]]'s ''[[Kriegsmarine]]'', built for service in [[World War II]]. She was ordered on 6 November 1943, and was [[Keel laying|laid down]] on 6 September 1944 at the [[Blohm & Voss]] yard at [[Hamburg]], as yard number 2524. She was [[Ceremonial ship launching|launched]] on 30 October 1944, and [[Ship commissioning|commissioned]] under the command of ''[[Kapitänleutnant]]'' Ernst von Witzendorff on 16 January 1945.<ref name="uboat">{{cite web

==Design==
Like all [[Type XXI submarine|Type XXI]] [[U-boat]]s, ''U-2524'' had a displacement of {{convert|1621|t|LT}} when at the surface and {{convert|1819|t|LT}} while submerged. She had a total length of {{convert|76.70|m|ftin|abbr=on}} ([[o/a]]), a beam of {{convert|8|m|ftin|abbr=on}}, and a draught of {{convert|6.32|m|ftin|abbr=on}}.{{sfn|Gröner|1991|p=85}} The submarine was powered by two [[MAN SE]] supercharged six-cylinder M6V40/46KBB diesel engines each providing {{convert|4000|PS|kW shp|lk=on|abbr=off}}, two [[Siemens-Schuckert]] GU365/30 [[Motor–generator|double-acting]] electric motors each providing {{convert|5000|PS|kW shp|abbr=on}}, and two Siemens-Schuckert [[Silent running (submarine)|silent running]] GV232/28 electric motors each providing {{convert|226|PS|kW shp|abbr=on}}.{{sfn|Gröner|1991|p=85}}

The submarine had a maximum surface speed of {{convert|15.6|kn}} and a submerged speed of {{convert|17.2|kn}}. When running on silent motors the boat could operate at a speed of {{convert|6.1|kn}}. When submerged, the boat could operate at {{convert|5|kn}} for {{convert|340|nmi}}; when surfaced, she could travel {{convert|15500|nmi}} at {{convert|10|kn}}.{{sfn|Gröner|1991|p=85}} ''U-2524'' was fitted with six {{convert|53.3|cm|in|abbr=on}} [[torpedo tube]]s in the bow and four [[2 cm FlaK 30|{{convert|2|cm|in|sp=us|abbr=on}} C/30]] [[anti-aircraft warfare|anti-aircraft guns]]. She could carry twenty-three [[torpedo]]es or seventeen torpedoes and twelve [[Naval mine|mines]]. The [[Ship's company|complement]] was five officers and fifty-two men.{{sfn|Gröner|1991|p=85}}

==Service history and fate==
''U-2524'' was commissioned on 16 January 1945 and assigned to the [[31st U-boat Flotilla]] at [[Hamburg]] for working up and training.<ref name="uboat"/> She had not completed this and had carried out no war patrols before being forced to flee the advancing [[Allies of World War II|Allied]] armies.

Sources vary as to her fate: Kemp and Tarrant report she was attacked on 3 May 1945 by [[Bristol Beaufighter|Beaufighters]] from [[No. 236 Squadron RAF|236]] and [[No. 254 Squadron RAF|254 Squadron]]s east of [[Samso]] and hit with rocket and cannon fire. Kemp states she was left burning and was seen to explode; Tarrant states she survived but was scuttled later.<ref>Kemp p.257</ref><ref>Tarrant p.140</ref>
However Niestle states simply that  she was [[scuttling|scuttled]] on 3 May 1945, in the [[Kattegat]] southeast of the island of [[Fehmarn]].<ref name=Niestle>Niestle p. 161</ref> One man was killed but the rest of the crew survived.<ref name="uboat" />

The wreck is believed to be located at {{coord|54|26|N|11|39|E|display=title, inline}}.<ref name=Niestle/>
