German submarine U-352 was a Type VIIC U-boat of Nazi Germany's Kriegsmarine during World War II. The submarine was laid down on 11 March 1940, at the Flensburger Schiffbau-Gesellschaft yard at Flensburg, launched on 7 May 1941, and commissioned on 28 August 1941, under the command of Kapitänleutnant Hellmut Rathke. She was part of the 3rd U-boat Flotilla, and was ready for front-line service by 1 January 1942.[1]

Design

German Type VIIC submarines were preceded by the shorter Type VIIB submarines. U-352 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 AEG GU 460/8–27 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-352 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

First patrol

U-352 left Kiel on 15 January 1942, and arrived at Bergen, in Norway, on 19 January.[2] She left the next day and patrolled south of Iceland, without success, before sailing to her new home port at Saint-Nazaire, in France, by 26 February.[3]

Second patrol

U-352 left St. Nazaire, on 7 April 1942, and sailed across the Atlantic to the north-eastern coast of the United States.[4] There on 9 May 1942, she was sunk by depth charges from the U.S. Coast Guard cutter Шаблон:USCGC, south of Morehead City, North Carolina, in position Шаблон:Coord.[1][5] The crew of the Icarus machine gunned the German submarine when it surfaced, preventing the German crew from manning the deck guns.[6] One survivor, radio operator Kurt Krueger, reported in 1999 that Icarus departed and then returned 45 minutes later to pick up survivors.[7][8] Fifteen of the crew were lost, but 33 survived and spent the remainder of the war as prisoners.[1]

Wolfpacks

U-352 took part in one wolfpack, namely:

  • Hecht (27 January – 4 February 1942)

Wreck diving on the U-352 in 2008.

The wreck of U-352 was discovered Шаблон:Cvt south of Morehead City, in 1975, by George Purifoy.[9] She lies in about Шаблон:Convert of water, and sits at a 45-degree list to starboard. The wreck scatter is within a Шаблон:Cvt radius of location above on a sand bottom.[5] This wreck has become an artificial reef that is heavily populated with Hemanthias vivanus.[5] The site was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2015. It is a popular scuba diving spot for advanced divers. A replica of the wreck is on display at the North Carolina Aquarium at Pine Knoll Shores.[9]

In media

  • "Reunion," a 1992 episode of the PBS television series Return to the Sea, tells the story of the sinking of U-352, includes footage of her wreck and 1992 interviews with crewmen from U-352 and Icarus, and documents a memorial service for the crew of U-352 over the site of her wreck on May 9, 1992, the 50th anniversary of her sinking.
