She was launched on 14 January 1943 and commissioned under the command of Oberleutnant zur See Klaus Ohling on 25 February 1943.[3]German Type VIIC submarines were preceded by the shorter Type VIIB submarines. U-965 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), a 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 Garbe, Lahmeyer & Co. RP 137\/c 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-965 was fitted with five 53.3\u00a0cm (21\u00a0in) torpedo tubes (four fitted at the bow and one at the stern), fourteen torpedoes or 26 TMA mines, one 8.8\u00a0cm (3.46\u00a0in) SK C\/35 naval gun, 220 rounds, and one twin 2\u00a0cm (0.79\u00a0in) C\/30 anti-aircraft gun. The boat had a complement of between 44 \u2014 52 men.Service history[edit]U-965 had a recorded three attacks on her and one lost crewmember, but she actually came under four attacks, the fourth sinking her.[3]On 6 February 1944, one day after leaving Narvik, Leutnant zur See Gustav-G\u00fcnther Schoop, the I.WO (1st Watch Officer), fell overboard and drowned.[3]On 17 May 1944, four days out of Bergen, U-965 developed serious technical problems and was forced to return to base. U-965 encountered an enemy submarine four hours after turning back for base. The enemy submarine fired a spread of torpedoes, which all missed.[3]U-965 was on her second war patrol when, at 13:05 hrs on 20 July 1944, she came under attack in the Norwegian Sea by a British B-24 Liberator of 59 Squadron\/N RAF piloted by F\/O D.A. Willows, after locating her on radar. The B-24 passed U-965 two miles astern trying to come in on a favorable approach on her starboard beam. As the Liberator approached U-965‘s 37mm AA gun jammed on the first round and the bomber was able to hit both men, with machine gun fire, manning the twin 20mm AA gun on the port side. However, the lock-select lever on the B-24 had not been fully engaged which caused the depth charges to not release over U-965‘s stern as intended. U-965 was then able to dive and escape the seven depth charges that the Liberator dropped about 40 seconds after she dived.  Returning 90 minutes later, the Liberator crew reported seeing two small oil streaks, an oval life raft and a couple of pieces of wood.  U-965 was undamaged and remained submerged and unseen until the bomber left.[3]On 22 August 1944, U-965 came under attack by two Fleet Air Arm Grumman F6F Hellcat, in Hammerfest. Eight crewmen were wounded with three crewmen killed.[3]U-965 was sunk on 30 March 1945, by depth charges, in the North Minch in the North Atlantic, by the British frigates HMS\u00a0Rupert and HMS\u00a0Conn. All 51 of her crew were lost.[3]The wreck is located at 39\u00b036\u2032N 09\u00b005\u2032W\ufeff \/ \ufeff39.600\u00b0N 9.083\u00b0W\ufeff \/ 39.600; -9.083Coordinates: 39\u00b036\u2032N 09\u00b005\u2032W\ufeff \/ \ufeff39.600\u00b0N 9.083\u00b0W\ufeff \/ 39.600; -9.083.[3]Wolfpacks[edit]U-965 took part in nine wolfpacks,[3] namely:Isegim (5 \u2013 27 January 1944)Werewolf (27 January \u2013 2 February 1944)Trutz (23 June \u2013 10 July 1944)Schwefel (22 \u2013 23 September 1944)Zorn (28 September \u2013 1 October 1944)Grimm (1 \u2013 2 October 1944)Panther (16 \u2013 22 October 1944)Panther (24 October \u2013 10 November 1944)Stier (25 November \u2013 19 December 1944)References[edit]^ Helgason, Gu\u00f0mundur. “Klaus Ohling”.
