Service history
U-95 was a member of two wolfpacks.
First patrol
The boat left Kiel for her first patrol on 20 November 1940. She entered the Northern Atlantic Ocean and damaged Ringhorn on the 28th with her deck gun, having missed with two torpedoes. The merchantman was hit in the funnel and near the bridge, but the action could not be brought to a successful conclusion because of weather conditions. The Germans, believing the ship would sink, left the area but the crew re-boarded her and sailed to Belfast Lough.
U-95 also damaged Conch on 2 December. This ship had already been hit by Шаблон:GS about Шаблон:Convert west of Bloody Foreland (Ireland). The boat fired four torpedoes, one of which struck the vessel. She was eventually sunk by Шаблон:GS.
The submarine headed for her new French Atlantic base, arriving at Lorient on 6 December.
Second patrol
U-95 continued the business of damaging ships when she attacked, but did not sink, Walotira Шаблон:Convert northwest of Rockall on 26 December 1940. This vessel met her end due to the actions of U-99 on the 27th.
Third patrol
The boat left Lorient on 16 February 1941 for her third sortie. She sank Cape Nelson and Temple Moat south of Iceland on the 24th.
When Pacific went down on 2 March north of Rockall, there was only one survivor. The destruction of the neutral Murjek was even more bloody. She went to the bottom with all hands on the fifth.
U-95 returned to France, but to St. Nazaire on 19 March.
Fourth patrol
