The next in a series of "warships lost during World War II".
The information is grouped in two files: (1) by warship type; and (2) by year of loss.
Photos are included when available (and appropriately credited where necessary).
U-boats are grouped by type (i.e. II, VII, XXI), and pictures and data are included only in the "type" folder, not for each individual U-boat.
While there is an abundance of information on most Kriegsmarine ships, info is lacking concerning the "minehunter" classes. I've included what I've been able to find on the overlay.
Sources of information:
1. German Naval History, http://www.german-navy.de/, a private site concerning the German Navy in both World War I and II.
2. German Warships of World War II, J.C. Taylor, Doubleday & Company Inc., New York, 1966.
3. UBoat.net, http://www.uboat.net/index.html, an exceptional source of U-boat information.
4. Unterseebootwaffe, http://www.dataphone.se/~ms/ubootw/welcom.htm, another excellent source of information concerning U-boats.
Other sites were used as well, and are identified and linked to throughout the overlay.
I welcome any comments & additional information.

Great post.....
How come the Uboat #'s come up twice, once on each side of the flag?

Could be because they are listed separately in two folders - one by type, and one by year of loss. Try unchecking one of the folders, and see if that helps.

Fantastic data searching!
One error I've spoted, U-963 is wrongly placed, correct site is 39.36N, 09.05W, 26km northeast of what you've pointed. I's about 300mts front of the beach! 100 mts below surface...
A type VIIC/41 U-1277 is missing, it's located just in front of Oporto at 41.09N, 08.41W and you can dive on it! Goto http://www.mergulhomania.com/.
Congratulations.

Corrected location for U-735.
Location loosely confirmed at http://www.skovheim.org/located/vestfold/u735/u735.htm
Here's an image of the submarine at the ocean floor, compiled from echo sounder data by Kongsberg Maritime.
