German submarine U-336 was a Type VIIC U-boat of Nazi Germany 's Kriegsmarine during World War II . The submarine was laid down on 28 March 1941 at the Nordseewerke yard at Emden as yard number 208, launched on 4 December and commissioned on 14 February 1942 under the command of Kapitänleutnant Hans Hunger.
Design
[ edit ]
German Type VIIC submarines were preceded by the shorter Type VIIB submarines . U-336 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 m (220 ft 2 in ), a pressure hull length of 50.50 m (165 ft 8 in ), a beam of 6.20 m (20 ft 4 in ), a height of 9.60 m (31 ft 6 in ), and a draught of 4.74 m (15 ft 7 in ). 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 kW; 2,760 to 3,160 shp) for use while surfaced, two AEG GU 460/8–27 double-acting electric motors producing a total of 750 metric horsepower (550 kW; 740 shp) for use while submerged. She had two shafts and two 1.23 m (4 ft ) propellers . The boat was capable of operating at depths of up to 230 metres (750 ft ).
The submarine had a maximum surface speed of 17.7 knots (32.8 km/h; 20.4 mph) and a maximum submerged speed of 7.6 knots (14.1 km/h; 8.7 mph). When submerged, the boat could operate for 80 nautical miles (150 km; 92 mi ) at 4 knots (7.4 km/h; 4.6 mph); when surfaced, she could travel 8,500 nautical miles (15,700 km; 9,800 mi ) at 10 knots (19 km/h; 12 mph). U-336 was fitted with five 53.3 cm (21 in ) torpedo tubes (four fitted at the bow and one at the stern), fourteen torpedoes , one 8.8 cm (3.46 in ) SK C/35 naval gun , 220 rounds, and a 2 cm (0.79 in ) C/30 anti-aircraft gun. The boat had a complement of between forty-four and sixty.
Service history
[ edit ]
After training with the 5th U-boat Flotilla , she moved to the 1st flotilla for front-line service in December 1942.
The boat carried out five patrols, sinking one ship.
She was a member of ten wolfpacks .
First patrol
[ edit ]
The boat's first patrol was very brief; starting and finishing in Kiel on 12 and 13 November 1942.
Second patrol
[ edit ]
Her second foray also started in Kiel, but terminated in Brest in occupied France after passing between the Faroe and Shetland Islands . She sank the Belgian tanker President Francqui on 29 December 1942 north of the Azores . The ship had already been hit by two torpedoes . U-336 finished her off with a 'coup de grâce'.
Third patrol
[ edit ]
The submarine's third sortie was again into the mid-Atlantic. She spent days scouring the empty wastes, but returned to Brest without success.
Fourth patrol
[ edit ]
U-336 's fourth patrol was, at 71 days, her longest. She was attacked by an unidentified aircraft on 10 July 1943 west of Lisbon . Slight damage was the result.
Fifth patrol
[ edit ]
U-336 left Brest for the last time on 14 September 1943. Initially she headed west, out of the Bay of Biscay . On the 24th, she turned north.
Fate
[ edit ]
On 5 October, she was sunk by rockets fired by a British Lockheed Hudson of No. 269 Squadron RAF in the Denmark Strait , (between Greenland and Iceland).[5]
Fifty men died; there were no survivors.[6]
Wolfpacks
[ edit ]
U-336 took part in ten wolfpacks , namely:
Ungestüm (11 – 30 December 1942)
Neuland (8 – 13 March 1943)
Dränger (14 – 20 March 1943)
Seewolf (21 – 30 March 1943)
Oder (17 – 19 May 1943)
Mosel (19 – 24 May 1943)
Trutz (1 – 16 June 1943)
Trutz 2 (16 – 29 June 1943)
Geier 3 (30 June – 10 July 1943)
Rossbach (24 September – 5 October 1943)
