German submarine U-217 was a Type VIID mine-laying U-boat of Nazi Germany's Kriegsmarine during World War II.

Design

As one of the six German Type VIID submarines, U-217 had a displacement of {{convert|965|t|LT}} when at the surface and {{convert|1080|t|LT}} while submerged.{{sfn|Gröner|1991|pp=66–67}} She had a total length of {{convert|76.90|m|ftin|abbr=on}}, a pressure hull length of {{convert|59.80|m|ftin|abbr=on}}, a beam of {{convert|6.38|m|ftin|abbr=on}}, a height of {{convert|9.70|m|ftin|abbr=on}}, and a draught of {{convert|5.01|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|pp=66–67}}

The submarine had a maximum surface speed of {{convert|16|-|16.7|kn}} and a maximum submerged speed of {{convert|7.3|kn}}.{{sfn|Gröner|1991|pp=66–67}} When submerged, the boat could operate for {{convert|69|nmi}} at {{convert|4|kn}}; when surfaced, she could travel {{convert|11200|nmi}} at {{convert|10|kn}}. U-217 was fitted with five {{convert|53.3|cm|in|0|abbr=on}} torpedo tubes (four fitted at the bow and one at the stern), twelve torpedoes, one {{convert|8.8|cm|in|2|abbr=on}} SK C/35 naval gun, 220 rounds, and an anti-aircraft gun, in addition to five mine tubes with fifteen SMA mines. The boat had a complement of between forty-four.{{sfn|Gröner|1991|pp=66–67}}

Service history

She was laid down on 30 January 1941, launched on 15 November and commissioned on 31 January 1942, U-217 served with the 5th U-boat Flotilla in a training capacity before moving on to the operational 9th flotilla on 1 August 1942 until she was sunk. U-217 completed three patrols and sank three ships totalling {{GRT|10,651|disp=long}}.

She was sunk on 5 June 1943 in the mid-Atlantic with all hands by depth charges dropped by Grumman TBF Avengers from the escort carrier {{USS|Bogue|CVE-9|3}}. The wreck lies at {{Coord|30|18|N|042|50|W|display=inline,title}}, near the Mid-Atlantic Ridge.

Wolfpacks

U-217 took part in two wolfpacks, namely.

  • Pirat (30 July – 3 August 1942)
  • Trutz (1–5 June 1943)
