German Type VIIC submarines were preceded by the shorter Type VIIB submarines. U-984 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 Brown, Boveri & Cie GG UB 720/8 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-984 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 one twin [[2 cm FlaK 30|Шаблон:Convert C/30]] anti-aircraft gun.

Service history
The boat's career began with training at 5th U-boat Flotilla on 17 June 1943, followed by active service on 1 August 1944 as part of the 9th Flotilla for the remainder of her service.
On 22 January 1944, Maschinenobergefreiter Hermann Keller was lost overboard in the North Atlantic.
On 8 June 1944, U-984 was bombed by an unidentified Allied aircraft and was sufficiently damaged to force a return to base on 9 June
In 5 patrols she accounted for the total loss of 3 merchant ships, for a total of Шаблон:GRT, one warship total loss (1,300 tons) and damaged one other merchant ship.
Wolfpacks
U-984 took part in four wolfpacks, namely:
- Rügen (14 – 26 January 1944)
- Stürmer (26 January – 3 February 1944)
- Igel 1 (3 – 17 February 1944)
- Dragoner (22 – 27 May 1944)
Fate
Sunk on or about 2 August 1944 in the English Channel south-west of Brighton in position Шаблон:Coord by unknown cause. All hands were lost.[1]
Previously recorded fate
U-984 was sunk on 20 August 1944 in the North Atlantic in the Bay of Biscay in position Шаблон:Coord, by depth charges from Canadian destroyers Шаблон:HMCS, Шаблон:HMCS and Шаблон:HMCS. All hands were lost. U-984 has subsequently been positively identified as the U-boat sunk on or about 2 August 1944 in the English Channel south-west of Brighton, in position 50.03.732N, 00.32.398W, by unknown cause, with presently no plausible explanation for its loss in the wreck position.[1]
