Heinz Franke[3]12 April \u2013 9 May 1945Operations:NoneVictories:NoneGerman submarine U-2502 was a Type XXI U-boat (one of the “Elektroboote“) of Nazi Germany’s Kriegsmarine, built for service in World War II. The submarine was laid down on 25 April 1944 at the Blohm & Voss yard at Hamburg, launched on 15 June 1944, and commissioned on 19 July 1944 under the command of Kapit\u00e4nleutnant Gert Mannesmann, who commanded her until 8 April 1945.Like all Type XXI U-boats, U-2502 had a displacement of 1,621 tonnes (1,595 long tons) when at the surface and 1,819 tonnes (1,790 long tons) while submerged. She had a total length of 76.70\u00a0m (251\u00a0ft 8\u00a0in) (o\/a), a beam of 8\u00a0m (26\u00a0ft 3\u00a0in), and a draught of 6.32\u00a0m (20\u00a0ft 9\u00a0in). The submarine was powered by two MAN SE supercharged six-cylinder M6V40\/46KBB diesel engines each providing 4,000 metric horsepower (2,900 kilowatts; 3,900 shaft horsepower), two Siemens-Schuckert GU365\/30 double-acting electric motors each providing 5,000\u00a0PS (3,700\u00a0kW; 4,900\u00a0shp), and two Siemens-Schuckert silent running GV232\/28 electric motors each providing 226\u00a0PS (166\u00a0kW; 223\u00a0shp).       (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});after-content-x4The submarine had a maximum surface speed of 15.6 knots (28.9\u00a0km\/h; 18.0\u00a0mph) and a submerged speed of 17.2 knots (31.9\u00a0km\/h; 19.8\u00a0mph). When running on silent motors the boat could operate at a speed of 6.1 knots (11.3\u00a0km\/h; 7.0\u00a0mph). When submerged, the boat could operate at 5 knots (9.3\u00a0km\/h; 5.8\u00a0mph) for 340 nautical miles (630\u00a0km; 390\u00a0mi); when surfaced, she could travel 15,500 nautical miles (28,700\u00a0km; 17,800\u00a0mi) at 10 knots (19\u00a0km\/h; 12\u00a0mph).U-2502 was fitted with six 53.3\u00a0cm (21.0\u00a0in) torpedo tubes in the bow and four 2\u00a0cm (0.79\u00a0in) C\/30 anti-aircraft guns. She could carry twenty-three torpedoes or seventeen torpedoes and twelve mines. The complement was five officers and fifty-two men.U-2502 conducted no patrols, and surrendered on 9 May 1945 in Horten Naval Base, Norway. She was then transferred to Oslo on 18 May 1945, then Scapa Flow on 6 June 1945. On 1 January 1946 she was taken to Moville, near Lisahally. From there she was sunk the following day at 56\u00b006\u2032N 09\u00b000\u2032W\ufeff \/ \ufeff56.100\u00b0N 9.000\u00b0W\ufeff \/ 56.100; -9.000Coordinates: 56\u00b006\u2032N 09\u00b000\u2032W\ufeff \/ \ufeff56.100\u00b0N 9.000\u00b0W\ufeff \/ 56.100; -9.000.References[edit]Bibliography[edit]Busch, Rainer; R\u00f6ll, Hans-Joachim (1999).
