German submarine U-962

German submarine U-962 was a Type VIIC U-boat built during World War II. Her keel was laid at the yards of Blohm & Voss in Hamburg on 7 April 1942. Launched on 17 December 1942, she was formally commissioned on 11 February 1943 and given to Oblt. Ernst Liesberg, who commanded the submarine on both of her active war patrols.

War Patrols
After her working up period ended, U-962 departed Kiel for Bergen, Norway on 23 September 1943, arriving on 27 September. After a stay of about a month, the crew cast off on their first active patrol 3 November 1943. This 56 day cruise in the mid-Atlantic Ocean yielded no targets and the patrol was terminated at St. Nazaire in occupied France on 28 December 1943.

On 14 February 1944, U-962 departed St. Nazaire on her second and last patrol. She again cruised in the central Atlantic for 55 days until she ran afoul of the British sloops HMS Crane (U23) and HMS Cygnet (U38) and sunk in position 45.71667°N, -19.95°W by depth charges. There were no survivors.
