German submarine U-1059

German submarine U-1059 was a Type VIIF submarine of the German Kriegsmarine during World War II.

Commissioned on 1 May 1943, U-1059 was one of four Type VIIF torpedo transport submarines, which could carry 39 torpedoes, and were used to re-supply other U-boats at sea. U-1059 first served with 5th U-boat Flotilla for training, and later served with 12th U-boat flotilla from 1 January 1944 to 19 March 1944. U-1059 completed one torpedo transport patrol.

While transporting torpedoes to Monsun Gruppe U-boats operating in the Far East, U-1059 was sunk on 19 March 1944 at 13.1°N, -33.44°W, southwest of the Cape Verde Islands by Avengers and Wildcats from the escort carrier USS Block Island (CVE-21). Of U-1059’s crew, 47 were killed and 8 survived the attack.
