Hi, I am reviewing this article. It's short but sweet. I don't know anything about U-boats, so I can't address the technical points in the article. I have only a few comments.

Contruction
"Werk 945" - what is this?
It's just a technical term that U-boat builders would name each vessel suring construction. Litteraly Work number 945 if I'm correct in my German to English interpretations.--White Shadows you're breaking up 21:11, 22 May 2010 (UTC)
"had 6 torpedo tubes (4 in the bow, 2 in the stern)." - Should this numbers be spelled out? Especially, as below it says "had a crew of forty eight men, however she could hold up to fifty six crew members". (and shouldn't this be forty-eight and fifty-six?)
Service record
Do you think you could combine the headings 1st Patrol and 2nd Patrol under somethink like Patrols, as there is so little under each heading? Then under Service record there would be only two broad headings.
See also
According to the MoS, See also should come before References and External links. Currently, it is last.

All done. Buggie111 (talk) 21:02, 22 May 2010 (UTC)

I reworded the sentence in the 'Fate' section. If the "English Channel was filled" [my emphasis] "with mines", the reader gets the wrong impression, (it would be impossible for any Allied ships, never mind other Axis vessels, to negotiate the waterway).
