Boo!
The real story of U-65 is that she was built in Kiel rather than Wilhelmshaven in 1915, instead of 1916. She was stationed in Pula during the war and enjoyed a successful career, sinking 52 enemy ships on 11 patrols. At the end of the war, on Oct. 28, 1918, U-65 was scuttled at Pula during the evacuation.)
