U-352, submarine wreck in Carteret County, North Carolina, United States

U-352 is a Type VIIC U-boat wreck lying about 26 miles (42 km) south of Morehead City, North Carolina, in roughly 115 feet (35 m) of water. The 67.1 m (220 ft) submarine sits at a 45-degree list to starboard on a sand bottom, with wreckage scattered within a 100 m (330 ft) radius.

U-352 was laid down at Flensburg on 11 March 1940, launched on 7 May 1941 and commissioned on 28 August 1941 under Kapitänleutnant Hellmut Rathke. After a first patrol from Kiel to Saint-Nazaire with no sinkings, it sailed for the US coast in April 1942. On 9 May 1942 the US Coast Guard cutter Icarus depth-charged it south of Cape Hatteras; 15 crew died and 33 survived.

The wreck lies in about 115 feet (35 m) of water, 26 mi (42 km) south of Morehead City, and sits at a 45-degree list to starboard on a sand bottom. The wreckage is scattered within a 100 m (330 ft) radius, so navigation lines help. The site is popular with advanced divers; a replica is on display at the North Carolina Aquarium at Pine Knoll Shores.

The wreck was found in 1975 by George Purifoy, 26 miles south of Morehead City, lying at a 45-degree list to starboard in about 35 m of water. It became an artificial reef colonised by Hemanthias vivanus, was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2015, and a replica is displayed at the North Carolina Aquarium at Pine Knoll Shores.
