was a type VIIC/41 uboat laid down at Flender Werke AG in
Lübeck in February 1943, and was launched in December the
same year. She was commissioned in February 1944 under
command of Oberleutnant Gerhard Wysk and assigned as a
training boat in 4.Unterseebootflotille. In November 1944
she was transferred to active service in 11.Flotille based
in Bergen, Norway. She did two war patrols, and sunk three
Allied ships for a total of 19516 tons. On her second
patrol, she was spotted by the Canadian corvette HMCS
Calgary and sunk with all hands lost by depth charges in
the English channel 29. December 1944. The wreck was found
in the 1990's, and it was initially believed to be U-772,
but it was later identified as U-322. The wreck rest today
on a depth of 40 to 53 meter west of Shetland Islands.
