U-505 superstructure, aft
U-505, a German submarine captured at sea by the US Navy during World War II. U-505 is one of very few German U-boats on public display, and the only one in the United States.
Holes remain in the superstructure from combat. The crew was abandoning the disabled submarine when a US Navy boarding party prevented it from being scuttled. Significant cryptographic equipment and information was recovered from the submarine.
