Possibly.
Neither the
23rd nor the
29th (Mediterranean) Unterseebootsflotille had Type II boats assigned.
None of the IIB assighed to the
30th U-Fl. (Black Sea), six in total, ever operated in the Mediterranean.
Moreover, Split is relatively close to Pola. If you take a look at the map of the Mediterranean, all the other U-boat bases (including Messina among them) were well spaced from each other. La Spezia, Toulon and Marseille are an exception to this rule, but the two latter ports started being important to the Germans later in the war, when the southermost ports became unsafe or unavailable due to the advance of the Allies.
