Unterseeboot 463

Unterseeboot 463 (U-463) was a Type XIV U-boat ("Milchkuh") of the Kriegsmarine. Her keel was laid down March 8, 1941 by Deutsche Werke[?] of Kiel. She was commissioned April 2, 1942 with Korvettenkapitän Leo Wolfbauer in command. Wolfbauer remained in command for the boat's entire career.

U-463 conducted five patrols. As a supply boat, she avoided combat. On May 16, 1943, in the Bay of Biscay, U-463 was sunk with all hands (57 dead) by depth charges from a British Handley-Page Halifax[?] aircraft.
