Good documentary last night on U-480. In the series Deep Wreck Mysteries, running on History Television here.

U-480 evidently had a synthetic rubber-type "stealth" coating put on, ... http://www.uboataces.com/sonar-coating.shtml ... http://www.uboat.net/boats/u480.htm

Hey sailors! Haven't been around for a long time, but I ran across this post while looking for some info. Just wanted to let everyone know that the U-480 show aired last night and will air again next week on the National Geographic channel.

Thursday April 30th, 5PM est.
