German submarine U-714

German submarine U-714 was a Type VIIC U-boat of the German Kriegsmarine built for service during World War II. She was laid down on 29 December 1941 by HC Stulcken at Hamburg and commissioned on 10 February 1943. She was commanded throughout her career by Hans-Joachim Schwebcke.

Fate
She was sunk 14 March 1945 near Eyemouth in the Firth of Forth at position 55.57N, 01.57W by depth charges from the South African frigate HMSAS Natal. HMS Wivern was granted a share of the credit for this kill as well. She had a complement of 50 crew, and was lost with all hands.

The wreck was identified in 2007 by nautical archaeologist Innes McCartney. She was designated as a protected place under the Protection of Military Remains Act 1986 in 2008.
