The "U-534" is one of only four German World War II submarines in preserved condition remaining in the world, another being the IXC boat in Chicago's Museum of Science and Industry. "U-534" was used mainly for training duties, and during her service she sank no other ships. A Royal Air Force bomber sank her on 5 May 1945 in the Kattegat 20 kilometres northeast of the Danish island of Anholt. "U-534" was salvaged in 1993 and since February 2009 has been on display in Birkenhead, England, as part of the U-boat Story.
