The Irish Sea
U-1024 was captured at sea on 12 April, 1945 but sank while in tow to harbour.
All the boats apart from U-33 (sunk in 1940) and U-400 (sunk in late 1944) were lost in 1945.
U-296, U-482 and U-104 are listed as being missing in or around the Northern Channel.
U-260 is actually located just outside this map on the left, but I wanted to try to squeeze it in :)
