German submarine U-792 was a Type XVIIA U-boat of Nazi Germany's Kriegsmarine during the Second World War. She was one of a small number of U-boats fitted with Hellmuth Walter's high test peroxide propulsion system, which offered a combination of air-independent propulsion and high submerged speeds. She spent the war as a trials vessel and was scuttled on 4 May 1945 in the Audorfer See, near Rendsburg.[1]
Construction
The U-792 was laid down on 1 December 1942 at the Blohm & Voss shipyard in Hamburg, Germany. She was launched on 28 September 1943 and commissioned on 16 November 1943 under the command of Oberleutnant zur See Horst Heitz.[1]
When she was completed, the submarine was Шаблон:Convert long overall, with a beam of Шаблон:Convert and a draught of Шаблон:Convert. She was assessed at Шаблон:Convert submerged. The submarine was powered by one Deutz SAA SM517 supercharged 8-cylinder four-stroke diesel engine producing a total of Шаблон:Convert for use while surfaced and two Walter gas turbines producing a total of Шаблон:Convert for use while submerged. She had one shaft and one Шаблон:Convert propeller. The submarine 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.Шаблон:Sfn
The submarine was fitted with two Шаблон:Convert torpedo tubes (All fitted at the bow) and four torpedoes. The boat had a complement of 12 men.Шаблон:Sfn[2]
Service History And End
U-792 did not undertake any combat patrols and was instead assigned as a trials boat at first to the 5th U-boat Flotilla, followed by the 8th U-boat Flotilla, before returning to the 5th flotilla for the rest of the war and was used in March 1945 as a floating fuel bunker. In December 1944, her commander was replaced by Oberleutnant zur See Hans Diederich Duis.[3]
The U-792 was scuttled on 4 May 1945 at 01:30 in the Audorfer See (Kaiser Wilhelm Canal), near Rendsburg during Operation Regenbogen.[1]
Wreck
The wreck of U-792 lay at Шаблон:Coord until 26 May 1945, when she was lifted by the British and taken to the Howaldtswerke in Kiel to be examined. She was first raised as a British prize and used for trials, but was soon torn down for parts and finally scrapped.[3]
