U-595 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 Brown, Boveri & Cie GG UB 720\/8 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-595 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, and a 2\u00a0cm (0.79\u00a0in) C\/30 anti-aircraft gun. The boat had a complement of between forty-four and sixty.Table of ContentsService history[edit]Fate[edit]Wolfpacks[edit]See also[edit]References[edit]Bibliography[edit]External links[edit]Service history[edit]The boat’s career began with training at 8th U-boat Flotilla on 6 November 1941, followed by active service on 1 August 1942 as part of the 9th Flotilla for the remainder of her service.In three patrols she sank no ships.Fate[edit]U-595 was sunk on 14 November 1942 in the Mediterranean in position 36\u00b038\u2032N 00\u00b030\u2032E\ufeff \/ \ufeff36.633\u00b0N 0.500\u00b0E\ufeff \/ 36.633; 0.500Coordinates: 36\u00b038\u2032N 00\u00b030\u2032E\ufeff \/ \ufeff36.633\u00b0N 0.500\u00b0E\ufeff \/ 36.633; 0.500, by depth charges from two RAF Hudson bombers from 608 Squadron. The depth charges damaged her so badly that she had to surface, and the commander took the decision to beach her on the Algerian coast near T\u00e9n\u00e8s. During the air attack the crew were able to damage some aircraft with machine-gun fire. There were 45 survivors and no casualties.Wolfpacks[edit]U-595 took part in five wolfpacks, namely:Steinbrinck (6 \u2013 9 August 1942)Pfeil (12 \u2013 22 September 1942)Blitz (22 \u2013 26 September 1942)Tiger (26 \u2013 30 September 1942)Delphin (4 \u2013 14 November 1942)See also[edit]References[edit]Bibliography[edit]Busch, Rainer; R\u00f6ll, Hans-Joachim (1999).
