What? I thought there are only two, U-505 and U-534 formerly in Birkenhead, UK :hmm: Where are the other three?

Or are you meaning one of the last five german WW2 U-Boats remaining, including U-995 (Type VII) and U-2540 (Type XXI)...still an unidentified one missing :hmm:
The last one you can find in Finland:
This is what I found on uboat.net...

The submarine Vesikko which can be considered a prototype of the German IIA class (6 built). The boat was converted into a military museum in 1959 and can be found at the island of Suomenlinna.

There are more pictures of this one somewhere on the web...

groetjes,
