German submarine U-880

German submarine U-880 was a Type IXC/40 U-boat built for Nazi Germany's Kriegsmarine during World War II.

U-880 was ordered in April 1943 from DeSchiMAG AG Weser in Bremen under the yard number 1088. Her keel was laid down on 17 July 1943 and the U-boat was launched the following year on 10 February 1944. She was commissioned into service under the command of Kapitänleutnant Gerhard Schötzau (Crew 36) in 4th U-boat Flotilla.

After completing training, U-880 was transferred to the 33rd U-boat Flotilla and left base for her first war patrol on 23 January 1945. Mechanical failures, however, forced her to return prematurely in two cases. She finally left Bergen for the West Atlantic on 14 March 1945. She joined group Seewolf in April, but was picked up by Task Force 22.5 before she could attack any ships. USS Frost made radar-contact with the U-boat just after midnight on 16 April. Frost and USS Stanton chased the submerged U-boat for several hours and finally attacked U-880 with hedgehogs, sinking her. There were no survivors.
