German Type VIIC/41 submarines were preceded by the heavier Type VIIC submarines. U-1001 had a displacement of Шаблон:Convert when at the surface and Шаблон:Convert while submerged. She had a total length of Шаблон:Convert, a pressure hull length of Шаблон:Convert, an overall 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 BBC GG UB 720/8 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. When submerged, the boat could operate for Шаблон:Convert at Шаблон:Convert; when surfaced, she could travel Шаблон:Convert at Шаблон:Convert. U-1001 was fitted with five Шаблон:Convert torpedo tubes (four fitted at the bow and one at the stern), fourteen torpedoes or 26 TMA or TMB Naval mines, one [[8.8 cm SK C/35 naval gun|Шаблон:Convert SK C/35 naval gun]], (220 rounds), one [[3.7 cm Flak 18/36/37/43|Шаблон:Convert Flak M42]] and two [[2 cm FlaK 30|Шаблон:Convert C/30]] anti-aircraft guns.

Service history

U-1001 participated in six war patrols. None of these resulted in any ships damaged or sunk.[1]

On 21 September, during her third war patrol, U-1001 laid 15 TMB near Porkkala, on the Baltic Sea. The next day, 22 Sep 1944, U-1001 rescued 13 shipwrecked German soldiers from the Baltic and landed them later on 2 October, at Libau.[2]

On 29 October 1944, during her fourth war patrol, U-1001 transferred two medical cases from Шаблон:Ship and Шаблон:Ship in the Baltic.[3]

U-1001 had Schnorchel underwater-breathing apparatus fitted out in February 1945.[1]

On 8 April 1945, 29 days out of Kristiansand, on her sixth war patrol, she was located by the British frigates Шаблон:HMS and Шаблон:HMS. U-1001 was sunk by depth charges in the North Atlantic south-west of Land's End, killing all forty-six of her crew.[1]

The wreck now lies at Шаблон:Coord.
