Editing Operation Deadlight (section)

==U-boats excluded from Operation Deadlight==
Several U-boats escaped Operation Deadlight. Some were claimed as [[prize (law)|prizes]] by Britain, France, Norway, and the Soviet Union. Four were in East Asia when Germany surrendered and were commandeered by Japan. {{GS|U-181||2}} was renamed ''I-501'', {{GS|U-195||2}} – ''I-506'', {{GS|U-219||2}} – ''I-505'', {{GS|U-862||2}} – ''I-502'', and two other boats, {{GS|U-511||2}} and {{GS|U-1224||2}}, had been sold to Japan in 1943 and renamed ''RO-500'' and ''RO-501''.<ref>{{cite web |url = http://uboat.net/fates/after-dl.htm |title=Fates – U-boats after World War Two |last= Helgason|first= Guðmundur |website= German U-boats of WWII – uboat.net |access-date= 12 February 2009 |url-status= live |archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20090204072447/http://uboat.net/fates/after-dl.htm |archive-date = 4 February 2009 |df= dmy-all}}</ref> Two U-boats that survived Operation Deadlight are today museum ships. {{GS|U-505||2}} was earmarked for scuttling, but American Rear Admiral [[Daniel V. Gallery]] argued successfully that she did not fall under Operation Deadlight. [[United States Navy]] [[task force|Task Group]] 22.3, under then-Captain Gallery, had captured ''U-505'' in battle on 4 June 1944. Having been captured, not surrendered at the end of the war, she survived to become a war memorial at the [[Museum of Science and Industry (Chicago)|Museum of Science and Industry]] in [[Chicago, Illinois|Chicago]]. {{GS|U-995||2}} was transferred to Norway by Britain in October 1948 and became the Norwegian ''Kaura''. She was returned to Germany in 1965, to become a museum ship at [[Laboe Naval Memorial|Laboe]] in October 1971.<ref>Gallery, Daniel V. (1965). ''Eight Bells and All's Well''. W.W.
