Construction
The U-1191 was laid down on 4 November 1942 at the F Schichau shipyard in Danzig, Poland. She was launched on 6 July 1943 and commissioned on 9 September 1943 under the command of Oberleutnant zur See Peter Grau.[2]
When she was completed, the submarine was Шаблон:Convert long, with a beam of Шаблон:Convert, a height of Шаблон:Convert and a draft of Шаблон:Convert. She was assessed at Шаблон:Convert submerged. 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 and two AEG GU 460/8-276 double-acting electric motors producing a total of Шаблон:Convert for use while submerged. She had two shafts and two Шаблон:Convert propellers. The submarine was capable of operating at depths of up to Шаблон:Convert, had a maximum surface speed of Шаблон:Convert and a maximum submerged speed of Шаблон:Convert.When submerged, the U-boat could operate for Шаблон:Convert at Шаблон:Convert and when surfaced, she could travel Шаблон:Convert at Шаблон:Convert.[3]
The submarine 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 L/45 naval gun|Шаблон:Convert deck gun]] (220 rounds), one [[3.7 cm Flak 18/36/37/43|Шаблон:Convert Flak M42]] and two twin [[2 cm FlaK 30|Шаблон:Convert C/30]] anti-aircraft guns. The boat had a complement of 44 to 57 men.[3]
Service history
U-1191 was used as a Training ship in the 8th U-boat Flotilla from 9 September 1943 until 30 April 1944, before serving in the 7th U-boat Flotilla for active service on 1 May 1944. She was fitted with a Schnorchel underwater-breathing apparatus in April 1944.[2]
Patrol and loss
During her active service, U-1191 made 1 patrol. She left Stavanger with 50 crew on 22 May 1944 for her first patrol and patrolled the North Atlantic, North of the Faroe Islands, West off the coast of Ireland and northwest of France.[2]
On 3 July 1944 during her patrol in the English Channel, U-1191 was sunk by depth charges from the British frigates Шаблон:HMS and Шаблон:HMS southwest of Brighton, England, ending her first and only patrol during World War II after 43 days. All 50 crew members on board were lost. She was first listed as missing and it was thought that she had been sunk by a mine or by human error instead of by depth charges. In total U-1191 spent 50 days at sea.[2]
Wreck
The wreck of U-1191 was located in 1995 at a depth of Шаблон:Convert and lay in nearly the same position as Шаблон:GS , which was sunk only days before U-1191's demise. The wreck is located at Шаблон:Coord.[1]
