German submarine U-1059 was a Type VIIF transport submarine of Nazi Germany's Kriegsmarine during World War II.

Commissioned on 1 May 1943, U-1059 was one of four Type VIIF torpedo transport submarines, which could carry 40 torpedoes,{{sfn|Gröner|1985|page=104}} and were used to re-supply other U-boats at sea. U-1059 first served with 5th U-boat Flotilla for training, and later served with 12th U-boat Flotilla from 1 January 1944 to 19 March 1944. U-1059 completed one torpedo transport patrol.

Design

As one of the four German Type VIIF submarines, U-1059 had a displacement of {{convert|1084|t|LT}} when at the surface and {{convert|1181|t|LT}} while submerged.{{sfn|Gröner|1991|p=67}} She had a total length of {{convert|77.63|m|ftin|abbr=on}}, a pressure hull length of {{convert|60.40|m|ftin|abbr=on}}, a beam of {{convert|7.30|m|ftin|abbr=on}}, a height of {{convert|9.60|m|ftin|abbr=on}}, and a draught of {{convert|4.91|m|ftin|abbr=on}}. The submarine was powered by two Germaniawerft F46 supercharged four-stroke, six-cylinder diesel engines producing a total of {{convert|2800 to 3200|PS|kW shp|-1}} for use while surfaced, two AEG GU 460/8-276 double-acting electric motors producing a total of {{convert|750|shp|PS kW}} for use while submerged. She had two shafts and two {{convert|1.23|m|ft|abbr=on|0}} propellers. The boat was capable of operating at depths of up to {{convert|230|m}}.{{sfn|Gröner|1991|p=67}}

The submarine had a maximum surface speed of {{convert|16.9|-|17.6|kn}} and a maximum submerged speed of {{convert|7.9|kn}}.{{sfn|Gröner|1991|p=67}} When submerged, the boat could operate for {{convert|75|nmi}} at {{convert|4|kn}}; when surfaced, she could travel {{convert|14700|nmi}} at {{convert|10|kn}}. U-1059 was fitted with five {{convert|53.3|cm|in|0|abbr=on}} torpedo tubes (four fitted at the bow and one at the stern), fourteen torpedoes, one {{convert|8.8|cm|in|2|abbr=on}} SK C/35 naval gun, 220 rounds, and various anti-aircraft gun. The boat had a complement of about forty-six.{{sfn|Gröner|1991|p=67}}

Service history

While transporting torpedoes to Monsun Gruppe U-boats operating in the Far East, U-1059 was sunk on 19 March 1944 at {{coord|13|10|N|33|44|W|format=dms |display=inline,title}}, southwest of the Cape Verde Islands by Grumman TBF Avengers and Grumman F4F Wildcats from the escort carrier {{USS|Block Island|CVE-21|6}}.[1] Reports from the USS Corry (DD-463) are that initially there were 20 survivors, but because there were reports of a second U-boat in the area, the Corry was forced to stay away.[2] Of U-1059’s crew, 47 were killed and 8 survived the attack.[3]
