She was ordered on 20 September 1944, and was laid down on 7 November 1944 at Deutsche Werft AG, Hamburg, as yard number 514. She was launched on 29 December 1944 and commissioned under the command of Oberleutnant zur See Kurt Schrobach on 23 January 1945.[2]DesignLike all Type XXIII U-boats, U-2360 had a displacement of {{convert|234|t|LT}} when at the surface and {{convert|258|t|LT}} while submerged. She had a total length of {{convert|34.68|m|ftin|abbr=on}} (o/a), a beam width of {{convert|3.02|m|ftin|abbr=on}} (o/a), and a draught depth of{{convert|3.66|m|ft|0|abbr=on}}. The submarine was powered by one MWM six-cylinder RS134S diesel engine providing {{convert|575|-|630|PS|kW shp|lk=on|abbr=off}}, one AEG GU4463-8 double-acting electric motor electric motor providing {{convert|580|PS|kW shp|abbr=on}}, and one BBC silent running CCR188 electric motor providing {{convert|35|PS|kW shp|abbr=on}}.{{sfn|Gröner|1991|p=89}} The submarine had a maximum surface speed of {{convert|9.7|kn}} and a submerged speed of {{convert|12.5|kn}}. When submerged, the boat could operate at {{convert|4|kn}} for {{convert|194|nmi}}; when surfaced, she could travel {{convert|2600|nmi}} at {{convert|8|kn}}. U-2360 was fitted with two {{convert|53.3|cm|in|0|abbr=on}} torpedo tubes in the bow. She could carry two preloaded torpedoes. The complement was 14 – 18 men.{{sfn|Gröner|1991|p=89}} This class of U-boat did not carry a deck gun.[2] Service historyOn 5 May 1945, U-2360 was scuttled in Gelting Bay near Gelting as part of Operation Regenbogen. The wreck was later raised and broken up.[2] See alsoReferences1. ^{{cite web |url=http://uboat.net/men/commanders/1129.html |title=Kurt Schrobach |last=Helgason |first=Guðmundur |website=Uboat.net |accessdate=29 April 2016}} 2. ^1 2 {{cite web |url=http://uboat.net/boats/u2360.htm |title=U-2360 |last=Helgason |first=Guðmundur |website=Uboat.net |accessdate=29 April 2016}}
