Design
German Type VIIC submarines were preceded by the shorter Type VIIB submarines. U-302 had a displacement of Шаблон:Convert when at the surface and Шаблон:Convert while submerged.Шаблон:Sfn She had a total length of Шаблон:Convert, a pressure hull length of Шаблон:Convert, a beam of Шаблон:Convert, a height of Шаблон:Convert, and a draught of Шаблон:Convert. The submarine was powered by two Germaniawerft F46 four-stroke, six-cylinder supercharged diesel engines producing a total of Шаблон:Convert for use while surfaced, two Garbe, Lahmeyer & Co. RP 137/c double-acting electric motors producing a total of Шаблон:Convert for use while submerged. She had two shafts and two Шаблон:Convert propellers. The boat was capable of operating at depths of up to Шаблон:Convert.Шаблон:Sfn
The submarine had a maximum surface speed of Шаблон:Convert and a maximum submerged speed of Шаблон:Convert.Шаблон:Sfn When submerged, the boat could operate for Шаблон:Convert at Шаблон:Convert; when surfaced, she could travel Шаблон:Convert at Шаблон:Convert. U-302 was fitted with five Шаблон:Convert torpedo tubes (four fitted at the bow and one at the stern), fourteen torpedoes, one [[8.8 cm SK C/35 naval gun|Шаблон:Convert SK C/35 naval gun]], 220 rounds, and a [[2 cm FlaK 30|Шаблон:Convert C/30]] anti-aircraft gun.

Service history
The boat's service life began with training with the 8th U-boat Flotilla in May 1942. She was then transferred to the 11th flotilla for operations on 1 December. She was reassigned to the 13th flotilla on 1 June 1943 and moved again to the 9th flotilla on 1 November.
The boat made the short journey from Kiel in Germany to Bergen in Norway, arriving on 1 December 1942.
First, second, third and fourth patrols
The submarine's first patrol began with her departure from Bergen on 2 January 1943.
Her fourth sortie finished in Narvik on 15 March 1943.
None of them was eventful.
The U-boat then made short voyages from Narvik to Trondheim to Hammerfest, (the latter lying in the far north of Norway).
Fifth and sixth patrols
Her fifth patrol took her around Bear Island, west of Svalbard, then around Bear Island again.
Her sixth effort was successful in that she sank the Soviet Dikson near Mona Island on 22 August 1943.[2]
Seventh patrol
Leaving Trondheim on 6 December 1943, she passed through the gap between Iceland and the Faroe Islands. She arrived at La Pallice in occupied France, on 30 January 1944.
Eighth patrol and loss
Her last patrol was her most successful, sinking the Ruth I and the South America on 6 April 1944.
She was sunk later on 6 April 1944 by depth charges.[3] from the British frigate Шаблон:HMS northwest of the Azores.
Fifty-one men died; there were no survivors.
