==Service history== ''[[Leutnant zur See]]'' [[Ludwig von Friedeburg]] relieved Rudolph from August to November 1944, when Rudolph resumed command for another month. During these four months, ''U-155'' had the youngest U-boat commander during the war since Von Friedeburg was only 20 years old. In December, ''Kptlt.'' [[Erwin Witte]] took over, and was relieved in April 1945 by ''Oblt.z.S.'' [[Friedrich Altmeier]]. Altmeier commanded the boat for one month before the German surrender; ''U-155'' was then scuttled by the Royal Navy. The wreck was located, largely intact, in 2001. ''U-155'' conducted ten patrols, sinking 25 ships totalling {{GRT|126,664|disp=long}}, one warship of 13,785 tons and damaging one auxiliary warship of {{GRT|6,736|link=off}}. She was a member of one [[Wolfpack (naval tactic)|wolfpack]]. She sank a warship and a troop transport ship, and damaged a cargo ship, with one salvo of four torpedoes on 15 November 1942 during her fourth patrol, and shot down a P-51 Mustang aircraft on her final patrol.
