In article <1990Nov16.054457.24100@cbnews.att.com>,
r_anderson@clyppr.enet.dec.com (Rick Anderson) writes, in part:

>Does anyone have any information on the German WWII submarine U-700.

As noted, the story sounds a bit like that of the U505, or some similar UK
incident.  One reference (German Submarines/Navies of the Second World War/
Doubleday) lists the number U700 as  "projected".  It would have been a Type
VIIC, 871 ton, 6,500 mi radius, 5 torpedo tubes, etc...
