U-200 had a displacement of 1,610 tonnes (1,580 long tons) when at the surface and 1,799 tonnes (1,771 long tons) while submerged. The U-boat had a total length of 87.58\u00a0m (287\u00a0ft 4\u00a0in), a pressure hull length of 68.50\u00a0m (224\u00a0ft 9\u00a0in), a beam of 7.50\u00a0m (24\u00a0ft 7\u00a0in), a height of 10.20\u00a0m (33\u00a0ft 6\u00a0in), and a draught of 5.35\u00a0m (17\u00a0ft 7\u00a0in). The submarine was powered by two MAN M 9 V 40\/46 supercharged four-stroke, nine-cylinder diesel engines plus two MWM RS34.5S six-cylinder four-stroke diesel engines for cruising, producing a total of 9,000 metric horsepower (6,620\u00a0kW; 8,880\u00a0shp) for use while surfaced, two Siemens-Schuckert 2 GU 345\/34 double-acting electric motors producing a total of 1,000 shaft horsepower (1,010\u00a0PS; 750\u00a0kW) for use while submerged. She had two shafts and two 1.85\u00a0m (6\u00a0ft) propellers. The boat was capable of operating at depths of up to 200 metres (660\u00a0ft).The submarine had a maximum surface speed of 20.8 knots (38.5\u00a0km\/h; 23.9\u00a0mph) and a maximum submerged speed of 6.9 knots (12.8\u00a0km\/h; 7.9\u00a0mph). When submerged, the boat could operate for 121 nautical miles (224\u00a0km; 139\u00a0mi) at 2 knots (3.7\u00a0km\/h; 2.3\u00a0mph); when surfaced, she could travel 12,750 nautical miles (23,610\u00a0km; 14,670\u00a0mi) at 10 knots (19\u00a0km\/h; 12\u00a0mph). U-200 was fitted with six 53.3\u00a0cm (21\u00a0in) torpedo tubes (four fitted at the bow and two at the stern), 24 torpedoes, one 10.5\u00a0cm (4.13\u00a0in) SK C\/32 naval gun, 150 rounds, and a 3.7\u00a0cm (1.5\u00a0in) SK C\/30 with 2575 rounds as well as two 2\u00a0cm (0.79\u00a0in) C\/30 anti-aircraft guns with 8100 rounds.

The new submarine departed Kiel and sailed north of the British Isles, through the gap between Iceland and the Faroe Islands and into the Atlantic Ocean. On 24 June 1943 the U-boat was located by the RAF and sunk with all hands in position 58\u00b015\u2032N 25\u00b025\u2032W\ufeff \/ \ufeff58.250\u00b0N 25.417\u00b0W\ufeff \/ 58.250; -25.417 by depth charges from a British Consolidated B-24 Liberator of 120 Squadron. This was initially reported to be an attack on U-194 which was sunk on the same day, but that submarine was sunk by aircraft of a different unit.All 68 souls aboard U-200, including seven members of the German ‘Brandenburg’ special forces, were lost.[2]References[edit]Bibliography[edit]Busch, Rainer; R\u00f6ll, Hans-Joachim (1999).
