(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});after-content-x4She was ordered on 1 August 1942, and was laid down on 2 December 1943, at Flensburger Schiffbau-Gesellschaft, Flensburg, as yard number 500. She was launched on 29 September 1944, and commissioned under the command of Oberleutnant zur See Hans Buscher on 17 November 1944.[2]German Type VIIC\/41 submarines were preceded by the heavier Type VIIC submarines. U-1307 had a displacement of 769 tonnes (757 long tons) when at the surface and 871 tonnes (857 long tons) while submerged. She had a total length of 67.10\u00a0m (220\u00a0ft 2\u00a0in), a pressure hull length of 50.50\u00a0m (165\u00a0ft 8\u00a0in), an overall beam of 6.20\u00a0m (20\u00a0ft 4\u00a0in), a height of 9.60\u00a0m (31\u00a0ft 6\u00a0in), and a draught of 4.74\u00a0m (15\u00a0ft 7\u00a0in). The submarine was powered by two Germaniawerft F46 four-stroke, six-cylinder supercharged diesel engines producing a total of 2,800 to 3,200 metric horsepower (2,060 to 2,350\u00a0kW; 2,760 to 3,160\u00a0shp) for use while surfaced, two AEG GU 460\/8-276 double-acting electric motors producing a total of 750 metric horsepower (550\u00a0kW; 740\u00a0shp) for use while submerged. She had two shafts and two 1.23\u00a0m (4\u00a0ft) propellers. The boat was capable of operating at depths of up to 230 metres (750\u00a0ft).The submarine had a maximum surface speed of 17.7 knots (32.8\u00a0km\/h; 20.4\u00a0mph) and a maximum submerged speed of 7.6 knots (14.1\u00a0km\/h; 8.7\u00a0mph). When submerged, the boat could operate for 80 nautical miles (150\u00a0km; 92\u00a0mi) at 4 knots (7.4\u00a0km\/h; 4.6\u00a0mph); when surfaced, she could travel 8,500 nautical miles (15,700\u00a0km; 9,800\u00a0mi) at 10 knots (19\u00a0km\/h; 12\u00a0mph). U-1307 was fitted with five 53.3\u00a0cm (21\u00a0in) torpedo tubes (four fitted at the bow and one at the stern), fourteen torpedoes, one 8.8\u00a0cm (3.46\u00a0in) SK C\/35 naval gun, (220 rounds), one 3.7\u00a0cm (1.5\u00a0in) Flak M42 and two 2\u00a0cm (0.79\u00a0in) C\/30 anti-aircraft guns. The boat had a complement of between forty-four and fifty-two.

The Balkonger\u00e4t was used on U-boats U-682, U-788, U-799, U-977, U-997, U-1021, U-1105, U-1172, and U-1308.[4] The Balkonger\u00e4t was standard on the Type XXI and the Type XXIII. Nonetheless, it was also fitted to several Type IXs and one Type X. The Balkonger\u00e4t was an improved version of Gruppenhorchger\u00e4t (GHG) (group listening device). The GHG had 24 hydrophones, the Balkonger\u00e4t had 48 hydrophones and improved electronics, which enabled more accurate readings to be taken.[5]The outside view of the German design of Balconger\u00e4t installed on Type VIICsService history[edit]On 9 May 1945, U-1307 surrendered at Bergen, Norway. She was later transferred to Loch Ryan, Scotland on 2 June 1945. Of the 156 U-boats that eventually surrendered to the Allied forces at the end of the war, U-1307 was one of 116 selected to take part in Operation Deadlight. U-1307 was towed out and sank on 9 December 1945, by rockets from a British Firefly aircraft launched from the escort carrier HMS\u00a0Nairana.[2]The wreck now lies at 55\u00b050\u2032N 10\u00b005\u2032W\ufeff \/ \ufeff55.833\u00b0N 10.083\u00b0W\ufeff \/ 55.833; -10.083Coordinates: 55\u00b050\u2032N 10\u00b005\u2032W\ufeff \/ \ufeff55.833\u00b0N 10.083\u00b0W\ufeff \/ 55.833; -10.083.[2]See also[edit]References[edit]^ Helgason, Gu\u00f0mundur. “Hans Buscher”.
