Are there any surviving u-boat captains?
So with the death of Herbert A. Werner in 2013, are there any surviving u-boat captains?

Born 3/18/1913- Reinhard Hardigan! U-123
I cannot find an obituary; the ol drumbeater still beats at a 101! ? http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2199218/Germanys-surviving-U-Boat-captain--decorated-twice-Hitler-bravery-sinking-27-Allied-ships--gets-modern-military-honour.html back in the day; and at 99 I know he celebrated his 100th birthday in 2013.

It also seems that the commander of U-18 and U-23, Rudolf Arendt, also survives.

@BigWalleye
Certainly nothing incorrect about your post in my estimation...looks sound.
