Well, technically, most of the German fleet that could leave the harbor were, or had become, submarines. (They had also become coffins as well.)

Excellent story about the german subs at the end of the war. Shadow Divers. If you have any interest you might want to borrow this book from the library.

Good point. At least a good movie came out of the experience (Das Boot). Watching that film, you could almost feel the humidity and stench.
