U-534, German U-boat museum in Birkenhead, United Kingdom.
The submarine stands in sections at the Woodside Ferry Terminal, allowing visitors to examine internal components through glass-paneled cross-sections.
The Type IXC/40 submarine served in three different flotillas between 1942 and 1945, participating in military operations and shooting down two British aircraft.
The vessel contributes to maritime education by displaying original equipment, personal items, and technical details about German naval engineering during World War II.
The museum provides interpretive panels in multiple languages, explaining submarine operations and daily life of the crew members during wartime missions.
Recovered from the seabed after 41 years, this submarine represents one of only four preserved German World War II U-boats worldwide.
