On 1945-01-20, U-987 was attacked by bombers as she was leaving Bergen. U-987 sustained heavy damage, losing the port diesel, all Flak guns, the attack periscope, the TUNIS RWR, the radar, and the schnorkel. Nine Crew were killed, including the IWO, the Steuerman, another Petty Officer and six seamen.
