There are quite a few good books written about the capture of U-505 (type IX) in June of 1944.

The Task Force Commander that captured U-505 was Admiral Daniel V Gallery. In 1956 he wrote "Twenty Million Tons Under the Sea" published in hardback and released in paperback as U-505; later re-released in paperback as "Twenty Million Tons Under the Sea" in 2001. This a very well written, informative account of the u-boat war in general and the capture of U-505 specifically. Admiral Gallery was instrumental in bring U-505 to the Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago where it is still on display. The U-505 is one of only two U-boats that still exist.
