Service history

At 04:45 on 4 October 1939, U-23 scored one of the KriegsmarineШаблон:'s early successes of the war when she torpedoed and sank with gunfire, the merchant ship Glen Farg about Шаблон:Convert south-southwest of Sumburgh Head (southern Shetland). One person died, while 16 survivors were picked up by Шаблон:HMS and landed at Kirkwall the next day.

In 16 patrols U-23 sank seven ships for a total of Шаблон:GRT including two warships, as well as damaging a warship and an auxiliary warship.

Over the course of her service with the Kriegsmarine, U-23 had ten commanding officers, the most famous of whom was Kapitänleutnant Otto Kretschmer, who went on to become the top scoring U-boat ace. After service in the Atlantic with the 1st U-boat Flotilla, U-23 served as a training boat with the 21st U-boat Flotilla from July 1940 until September 1942. U-23 was then transported in sections along the Danube to the Romanian port of Galați. She was then re-assembled by the Romanians at the Galați shipyard and sent to the Black Sea port of Constanţa, Romania, with the 30th U-boat Flotilla until September 1944.[1]

Fate

U-23 was scuttled by her crew on 10 September 1944, off the coast of Turkey in the Black Sea at position Шаблон:Coord to prevent her capture by the advancing Soviets.

On 3 February 2008, The Daily Telegraph newspaper reported that U-23 had been discovered by Selçuk Kolay, a Turkish marine engineer, in Шаблон:Convert of water, three miles from the town of Ağva.[2][3]
