Thanks to both Freepers for the info. First it was my error in putting that the surrender was just after hostilities ceased. I note that the U-505 had 8 kills all in a short period during 1942. The first victim was British and so was the last one. (Well done U.S. Navy)
I am glad to see the two submarines still there for everyone inclined to go aboard. One can only wonder at the fortitude of the crew of the Hunley. Splendid work by those who dig into the past.
