TIL German Submarine U-505 was secretly captured by the US Navy on 4 June 1944 by Task Group 22.3. The crew attempted to scuttle it & a US 8-man boarding party rushed inside and were able to keep it afloat to be towed 3,150 km back to Bermuda. Capture of the ship was kept secret until after the war.
