She sank no ships.She was sunk by British warships northwest of Ireland on 9 September 1944.German Type VIIC submarines were preceded by the shorter Type VIIB submarines. U-484 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 Siemens-Schuckert GU 343\/38\u20138 double-acting electric motors producing a total of 750 metric horsepower (550\u00a0kW; 740\u00a0shp) for use while submerged.

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).

The patrol itself began with the boat’s departure from Horten on 14 August 1944. She passed through the gap separating Iceland and the Faroe Islands and was shortly afterwards attacked and sunk by depth charges dropped by two British warships, the corvette HMS\u00a0Portchester Castle and the frigate HMS\u00a0Helmsdale on 9 September 1944.Fifty-two men went down with U-484; there were no survivors.[1]Previously recorded fate[edit]Sunk on 9 September 1944 by depth charges from two Canadian warships, the corvette HMCS\u00a0Dunver and the frigate HMCS\u00a0Hespeler. This attack was on a non-submarine target.References[edit]Bibliography[edit]Busch, Rainer; R\u00f6ll, Hans-Joachim (1999). German U-boat commanders of World War II\u00a0: a biographical dictionary.
