It is a German boat you stupid idiot's not a NAZI boat.Try pick up a thing called a book and learn something.Calling it a Nazi boat is like calling every white person in the USA a KKK member.

Not so sure about the "secret" being so secret. There is a tanker that was torpedoed just outside Port Aransas Texas that limped in to the Lydia Ann Channel where is sank. Its clearly marked and is a favorite fishing spot. I dont know of anyone who doesnt know about that ship and how it got to where it is.

I have Italian family that has told stories of German officers coming to shore in Galveston TX and New Orleans Louisiana to see the sights during ww2.. I certainly love listening to them at the dinner table when the wine loosens their lips.

"German" not "Germmy"

This was the U-166 sunk by PC566.
Very sad tale of Lt. Commander Herbert G. Claudius whose tactics in the battle were graded F by the Navy because they didn't think the sub was sunk. He was relieved of command of PC566 after the battle which put his career in jeopardy. Finding these wrecks vindicated his name and he was posthumously awarded the Legion of Merit with V device. -
The ship with the visible "H" and "E" were awards painted on the starboard bridge wing of the USS Peterson, a Spruance class destroyer.

Fantastic German design !!like always German tecnology at its best.
Did you know that the german soldiers got portable microwave ovens to heat their meals at the beginning of WW2,another example of this very competitive race. -

Why the emphasis on 'Nazi'? Apart from their boss the Kriegsmarine was one of the least politicised
arms of the Wehrmacht. By an by, it's a war grave and should be talked about with at least a little respect. -
Yeah Nazis was just a political party in Germany.

This boat is U-166. She lies less than a mile from SS Robert E Lee, her last victim. U-166 was commissioned at Deutsche Schiff und Maschinenbau AG, Bremen Germany on 23 March 1942 by her only commander Oblt. Hans-Günther Kuhlmann (corresponding to the rank of "Lieutenant" in the US Army, this is an unusually lower grade for a U-boat captain, most were the grade Kapitan-Leutenant, corresponding to Lt. Commander, or above). U-166 was on her first real war patrol (an earlier short voyage from Germany to her home port of Lorient in occupied France came earlier). She was ordered to patrol the Gulf of Mexico and sunk three ships along the north coasts of the Domenican Republic and Cuba and then entered the Gulf. Ironically, the Robert E. Lee was sailing with approx 260 merchant marine sailors on board, most of whom had survived earlier ships that had been torpedoed by U-boats in the Caribbean and near South America and a crew of almost 150 (a total of about 25 on the ship were lost, passengers and crew). U-166 sighted the Robert E Lee and began tracking her; Robert E Lee was escorted only by the US Navy light patrol boat PC-566; "PC" class boats were small and lightly armored and carried only a few depth charges. After U-166 fired her torpedo at Robert E Lee, PC-566 reported seeing the track of the torpedo before it hit the ship. She rushed to the area where her skipper had estimated the torpedo came from and dropped few depth charges and then heard the torpedo hit the ship. PC-566 then departed to rescue the survivors from the ship (most survived) and later heard the depth charge explode. Experts believe that a depth charge became tangled in the upper deck of the submarine before it exploded and only detonated when the sub dived below the level that the charge was set for. The damage shown in the ROV photos indicates that the depth charge was right up against the hull of the U-boat and almost blew it in two.

I remember this news cast when it originally aired.
GULFPORT, Miss. (WPMI) Scientists docked in Gulfport, Mississippi are exploring the relics of the World War II battle in the Gulf of Mexico. Members of the Corps of Exploration found a sunken German Nazi U-boat and American Warship south of the Mississippi River. The Nazi U-boat sank the SS Robert E. Lee more than 70 years ago. It is a testament of just how close the battle came to the shores of Alabama, a fact many Americans never knew about. "And there's a very good reason," said shipwreck historian Richie Kohler. "They didn't want us to know how Germany was taking us to task, how successful these U-boats were." Hitler brought the war to our doorstep," said Ocean Exploration Trust President Dr. Bob Ballard. He is aboard the exploration vessel Nautilus. "Shortly after they declared war on us, so this is something most American people do not realize how close the war came and how threatening it was. They were extremely successful." Using robotic cameras, scientist and engineers captured those moments frozen in time. The video showed the U-boat that once was used for war now rests peacefully at the bottom of the Gulf of Mexico. It is now home to colorful marine life. The video will appear in different TV documentaries. Crew members hope it will raise awareness about a moment in history once forgotten. "It is a static time capsule," Kohler said. "All of these shipwrecks in deep water are just that. The crew will leave Gulfport Thursday to head to the next part of their expedition. For more information on the expedition, click here.
