HISTORY: The U-505 is a German World War II Type-IXc Unterseeboot (submarine) that was captured in battle on the high seas by boarding parties from the USS Guadalcanal task group 22.3 on 4 June 1944. It is currently being prepared for its new exhibit space on the east side of the Museum and is not only an exhibit, but also a memorial to over 55,000 American sailors and merchant mariners who lost their lives at sea in two world wars. In 1989 the U-505 was designated a National Historic Landmark. Since 1954 over 23 million visitors have toured the U-505.
