Spanish submarine G-7 was originally "Unterseeboot 573", a Type VIIC submarine of the German Kriegsmarine.

G-7's repairs were completed in 1947, and she served the Spanish Navy until 1970. Renamed S-01, she was decommissioned, auctioned for 3,334,751 Pts (about $26,500), after which, despite efforts to save and preserve it as a museum, broken up for scrap.
