German Type VIIC submarines were preceded by the shorter Type VIIB submarines. U-927 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 SSW GU 343/38-8 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.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-927 was fitted with five Шаблон:Convert torpedo tubes (four fitted at the bow and one at the stern), fourteen torpedoes or 26 TMA 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 twin [[2 cm FlaK 30|Шаблон:Convert C/30]] anti-aircraft guns.

Service history

On 24 February 1945, U-927 was sunk by depth charges, south-east of Falmouth in the English Channel, from a British Warwick of 179/K Squadron RAF. Her crew of 47 were all lost.[1]

The wreck is located at Шаблон:Coord.[1]

There is some doubt to this claim however. On 8 February 1945, U-927 sent her last radio message from position Шаблон:Coord while she was en route to her operational area in the English Channel. There have been extensive searches by the UK Hydrographic Office and other parties at the claimed wreck site that have failed to find any evidence of a U-boat.[1]
