The VIIC was an effective fighting machine and was seen in almost all areas where the U-boat force operated although their range was not as great as the one of the larger IX types.</p> <p>The VIIC came into service as the "Happy Days" were almost over and it was this boat that faced the final defeat to the Allied anti-submarine campaign in late 1943 and 1944.</p> <p>Perhaps the most famous VIIC boat was the <a href="/boats/u96.htm">U-96</a> which is featured in the <a href="/special/movies/">movie</a> <b>Das Boot</b>, other noticeable boats were the <a href="u-flak.htm">U-flak boats</a>. Many of these boats were fitted with the Schnorkel in 1944-1945. This design saw one more improvement in the type VIIC/41 boat.</p> <p>The larger mine-laying <a href="/types/viid.htm">type VIID</a> was a direct variant of the VIIC.</p> <div align="center"> <img src="/media/boats/photos/u760.jpg" width="400" height="150" alt="" border="0" /> <br /><a href="/boats/u760.htm">U-760</a> of <a href="/types/viic.htm">type VIIC</a>. </div> <h3>All type VIIC U-boats</h3><p>The number of boats commissioned of this type, 568, is too great to list here.</p><br> <div align="center"> <h3>Technical information for type VIIC</h3> </div> <br><table class="width400" align="center"> <tr> <td class="width200"> <table class="width200"> <tr> <td class="width100"><strong>Displacement:</strong><br> <span class="small">(tons)</span></td> <td>769 <span class="small">(sf)</span> <br>871 <span class="small">(sm)</span><br>1070 <span class="small">(total)</span></td> </tr> <tr> <td><strong>Length:</strong> (m)</td> <td>67,10 oa<br>50,50 ph</td> </tr> <tr> <td><strong>Beam:</strong> (m)</td> <td>6,20 oa<br>4,70 ph</td> </tr> <tr><td><strong>Draught:</strong> (draft)</td><td>4,74 m</td></tr> <tr><td><strong>Height:</strong></td><td>9,60 m</td></tr> <tr><td><strong>Power:</strong> (hp)</td><td>3200 <span class="small">(sf)</span> <br>750 <span class="small">(sm)</span></td></tr> </table> </td><td class="width200"> <table class="width200"> <tr><td class="width100"><strong>Speed:</strong><br><span class="small">(knots)</span></td><td>17,7 <span class="small">(sf)</span> <br>7,6 <span class="small">(sm)</span></td></tr> <tr><td><strong>Range:</strong><br><span class="small">(miles / knots)</span></td><td>8500/10 <span class="small">(sf)</span> <br>80/4 <span class="small">(sm)</span></td></tr> <tr><td><strong>Torpedoes:</strong></td><td>14<br>4/1 <span class="small">(bow / stern tubes)</span></td></tr> <tr> <td><strong>Mines:</strong></td> <td>26 TMA</td> </tr> <tr> <td><strong>Deck gun:</strong></td> <td>88/45<br>220 rounds</td> </tr> <tr> <td><strong>Crew:</strong></td> <td>44-52 men</td> </tr> <tr> <td><strong>Max depth:</strong></td> <td>ca. 220 m<br>(722 feet)</td></tr> </table> </td></tr></table><table class="width400" align="center"><tr><td align="center">sm = submerged, sf = surfaced, ph = pressure hull,<br> oa = overall, hp = horsepower. </td></tr></table><br><div align="center"><h3><a href="/types/">See all U-boat types</a></h3></div> <div class="adSeperator"></div> <div id="ga_contentFooter728" align="center"> <script async src="//pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js"></script> <ins class="adsbygoogle" style="display:inline-block;width:728px;height:90px" data-ad-client="ca-pub-1101670507446460" data-ad-slot="7580936821"></ins> <script> (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); </script> </div><br> </div>  <div id="footer"> <div id="footer_navcontainer"> <ul id="footer_navlist"> <li><a href="/" title="Front page">Front page</a></li> <li><a href="/about/" title="About uboat.net">About</a></li> <li><a href="/about/contact.htm" title="Contact us">Contact us</a></li> <li><a href="/special/faq.htm" title="Frequently Asked Questions">FAQ</a></li> <li><a href="/glossary.htm" title="Glossary pages">Glossary</a></li> <li><a href="/new.htm" title="What's new at uboat.net">What's new</a></li> </ul> </div> <div id="footer_copyright">  © 1995 - 2025 Guðmundur Helgason </div> </div>  </div>  </body></html>
