When the German U-boat U-505 is mentioned, most think about its capture in 75 years ago, two days before D-day in June 1944, or of its status as a museum piece at Chicago’s Museum of Science and Industry. But the Type IX submarine's wartime history is rich: 11 combat patrols; sabotaged by French dockworkers; distinction as the most damaged U-boat ever to return from patrol, and as instance during the war in which a submarine commander committed suicide in response to the stress of a prolonged depth charging. Lecture will cover details of the long and mixed-success of this most-famous of submarines. Presented by Capt. Mark McDonagh, USN/ret., a submarine officer with 12 years’ experience at the Naval War College, now on the National Security Decision Making, Inc staff.
