This boat became the British submarine N 37. Transferred to the USSR in 1947. Broken up in 1963.

Men lost from U-boats

Unlike many other U-boats, which during their service lost men due to accidents and various other causes, U-2353 did not suffer any casualties (we know of) until the time of her loss.
