I'm doing something somewhat similar, using the same database. I found the owner/manager of Uboat.net, Gudmundur Helgason, to be very helpful.

My intent is to determine the average lifespan of each boat based upon patrol service dates; predictors of survivability, such as the commander's age and experience; success rates by boat type, patrol dates, commander's age, etc; and a whole host of other fun data manipulations.

I'm currently storing my data in Excel. I'll import it to SPSS for analysis once I have it complete, though I'm still a ways off on this as other priorities have arisen.

This said, I can certainly send you a table with the commissioned date, launch date, shipyard, etc. Let me know specifically what you're looking for and what format you'd like it in. Once I have your e-mail address (send via PM), I'll shoot the file over to you ASAP.
