German submarine U-24 (1936)

Unterseeboot 24 (also known as U-24) was a German Type IIB U-boat that was in service during World War II. It was laid down April 21 1936 and commissioned on October 10 1936.

Fate

On August 25, 1944 "U-18" was scuttled at Constanţa in the Black Sea to prevent the advancing Soviets forces to capture it. It was raised by the Soviet Union in early 1945 but sunk again by the Soviet submarine M-120 on May 26 1947 off Sevastopol (also sunk that same day was the former U-18).
