Since we are on the subject of submarines, I was in my mom's hometown of Derry Northern Ireland this summer and heard an obsure story of 19 German subs that showed up there at the end of WWII. Shortly there-after Royal navy then took them out to the harbor and sunk them where they still lie today. There are plans underway to raise one of them. I don't know if anyone else finds this interesting, but as a wreck diver I thought this was very cool, and share this bit of history with anyone ho may care.
Here is a related story.

My uncle took some pictures as a kid. If I can I will get scaned copies to post. When he told this story he said the subs where lined up in the harbor like stacks of firewood.
Would be cool to see what kind of weaponry could be recoverd from this site.
