U-226 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 AEG GU 460\/8\u201327 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).

She sailed toward Newfoundland, southeast of Greenland. She arrived at Lorient in occupied France, on 17 May.Second patrol[edit]Having left Lorient on 10 April 1943, the boat encountered the Fort Rampart west of the Bay of Biscay on the 18th. The ship had already been attacked by U-628. U-226 finished the merchantman off with a ‘coup de gr\u01cece’ torpedo and gunfire and returned to France; this time to St. Nazaire.Third patrol[edit]Having left St. Nazaire for Brest, the boat departed the port in Brittany on 5 October. U-226 was attacked and sunk on 6 November by depth charges from the British sloops HMS\u00a0Starling, Woodcock and Kite east of Newfoundland. Fifty-one men died, there were no survivors.Wolfpacks[edit]U-226 took part in eleven wolfpacks, namely:Falke (8 \u2013 12 January 1943)Habicht (10 \u2013 19 January 1943)Haudegen (19 January \u2013 15 February 1943)Sturmbock (24 \u2013 26 February 1943)Without name (15 \u2013 18 April 1943)Specht (19 April \u2013 4 May 1943)Fink (4 \u2013 5 May 1943)Siegfried (22 \u2013 27 October 1943)Siegfried 3 (27 \u2013 30 October 1943)Jahn (30 October \u2013 2 November 1943)Tirpitz 4 (2 \u2013 6 November 1943)Summary of raiding history[edit]References[edit]Bibliography[edit]Bishop, Chris (2006).
