U-505 | Type IXc U-Boat | uboat.net: The Boats Chicago Museum of Science and Industry Wikipedia | |
After WWII, U-505 was slated by the U.S. Navy to be expended as a target vessel. Retired Admiral Dan Gallery, a Chicago native and the wartime commander of the escort carrier group that captured U-505, spearheaded the effort to save her for a museum and memorial to all Navy personnel who lost their lives in the war. In 1954, U-505 was installed as an outdoor exhibit at the Chicago Museum of Science and Industry. In 1997, the museum began a multi-year effort to restore the sub and prepare a new underground exhibit area. The new U-505 exhibit opened to the public in 2005.
