German submarine U-184

German submarine U-184

Unterseeboot "184" was a German Type IXC/40 U-boat that served with the Kriegsmarine during the Second World War.

She was ordered on 15 August 1940 and was laid down on 10 June 1941 at AG Weser, Bremen, becoming 'werk 1024'. She was launched on 21 February 1942 and commissioned under her first and only commander Kptlt. Günther Dangschat on 29 May 1942. After a period training with the 4. Unterseebootsflottille, she joined 2. Unterseebootsflottille for her combat service on 1 November 1942. She sank a single ship, the British merchant SS "Widestone" on 7 November 1942 and was later listed as missing with all 50 hands on 21 November 1942 somewhere in the North Atlantic east of Newfoundland. It had been previously thought that "U-184" had been sunk by depth charges from the Norwegian corvette "Potentilla", but this attack was later found to have been against "U-264", and had inflicted only minor damage. U-184's loss remains an unsolved mystery.
