German submarine U-383 was a Type VIIC U-boat of Nazi Germany's Kriegsmarine during World War II.

The submarine was laid down on 29 March 1941 at the Howaldtswerke yard at Kiel, launched on 22 April 1942, and commissioned on 6 June under the command of Oberleutnant zur See Horst Kremser.[1]

Design

German Type VIIC submarines were preceded by the shorter Type VIIB submarines. U-383 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-383 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

U-383 served with the 8th U-boat Flotilla for training, and then operationally with the 9th flotilla from 1 October 1942 to 1 August 1943.[1] She completed four patrols in that time, sinking only one ship, the Шаблон:GRT Icelandic trawler Jon Olafsson on 24 October 1942,[2] during her first patrol.[3]

On the evening of 1 August 1943 U-383 was attacked west of Brittany, at position Шаблон:Coord, by a Short Sunderland of No. 228 Squadron RAF. Responding with flak, the U-boat holed the fuselage and shot away the starboard float and aileron of the aircraft, which pressed home its attack and straddled the U-boat with depth charges before heading back to base. Kremser radioed for assistance, and though three U-boats and three torpedo boats searched during the night and the next day, they failed to locate the crippled U-383 and she was presumed lost.[1]

Wolfpacks

U-383 took part in ten wolfpacks, namely:

  • Puma (26 – 29 October 1942)
  • Natter (30 October – 8 November 1942)
  • Kreuzotter (8 – 18 November 1942)
  • Habicht (10 – 19 January 1943)
  • Haudegen (19 January – 15 February 1943)
  • Sturmbock (23 – 26 February 1943)
  • Amsel (22 April – 3 May 1943)
  • Amsel 2 (3 – 6 May 1943)
  • Elbe (7 – 10 May 1943)
  • Elbe 2 (10 – 14 May 1943)
