Hi Woody:

I contacted a former U.S. Navy submariner who rode the U-2513 and qualified on
her. Here's what he wrote:

"Yes, I was on the 2513 for a little over six months. Qualified on her. Just barely got my Dolphins before we put her out of commission.(She actually was commissioned in the U.S. Navy) I remember that we had A/C, but I do not remember if she had been built with it, or if she had ben modified. As to refrigeration. Frankly, I do not remember. We only went to sea on a daily basis, so we did not have to store a lot of food. I believe we had some minimal refrigeration, but again I don't remember if it was American or not. I am almost certain it was German, because they stayed at sea so long. Keep in mind that there were minimal creature comforts for the German crew. Only the officers had bunks. The crew either slept in hammocks or on their watch stations. The Americans had modified her so that we had some bunks."

His e-mail address is: jcunning@surfsouth.com

I hope this info helps........

Later,

ROBERT M.
