Correct. But since it spent so much time in the ocean it's badly rusted and the interior almost completely destroyed.
It also states, that 5 uboats remain today. I only know three which can be considered in a more or less presentable condition.
1. U-995 in Laboe, Germany (Typ VII C/41)
2. U-505 in Chicago (Typ IX C)
3. U-2540 in Bremerhaven, Germany (Typ XXI)
If you will you could also depict the prototype "Vessiko" in Finland. This type of boat was developed by German engineers in Finland and served as Typ II A in the German Navy. Vessiko though never was used by the Germans.
The last remaining real uboat would be U-1 from WWI which is located in the "Deutsches Museum" in Munich.
Finally - also in Munich - you can visit the prop of U-96 from "Das Boot" which is 1:1 replica of the interior of a Typ VII C uboat which even has original parts of real boats like the diesels and some other equipment.
