The U505 is at the Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago. Rescued in the 1950's by the then retired Admiral Gallery who led the task force that captured her on 5 June 1944 off the coast of Africa. The U.S. Navy was going to use her as a target ship when he stepped in and procured funding to save her. The 505 was the first ship captured on the high seas by the U.S. Navy since the War of 1812.
