Thanks for looking and best wishes from the north Atlantic coast of Ireland. U-566 was a Type VIIC U-boat of Germany's Kriegsmarine. She was laid down on 30 March 1940 at the Blohm & Voss yard in Hamburg as yard number 542, launched on 20 February 1941 and commissioned on 17 April under the command of Kapitänleutnant Dietrich Borchert.

In the eleven combat patrols of her career the U-boat sank seven vessels; six merchant ships totalling 38,092 GRT between February and November 1942, and the 2,265 GRT patrol gunboat USS Plymouth (PG-57) on 5 August 1943. She was scuttled by her crew on 24 October 1943 after being damaged by six depth charges from a British Wellington aircraft in the North Atlantic west of Portugal.
