During WWII, U-505 was captured intact by a Task Force consisting of USS Guadalcanal (a carrier), USS Chatelain, Pillsbury, Flaherty, Jenks, and Pope. Chatelain found it. Crew from the Pillsbury first boarded it. This was first taken to Bermuda and later up the St Lawrence River to Chicago. Last I had heard, U-505 was sitting on stilts in front of the Museum of Science and Industry. Is it (and the Museum) still there?
