Unterseeboot 765, also known as U-765, was a German U-Boat created for service in World War II. U-795 was notable for not suffering any casualties until the time of her sinking. The U-boat did not sink or damage any ships.
U-765 was sunk on 6 May 1944 in the North Atlantic, in position 52°30′N 28°28′W / 52.5, -28.467, by depth charges from two Swordfish aircraft (Sqdn. 825) of the British Escort Carrier HMS Vindex, operating alongside the British frigates HMS Aylmer, HMS Bligh and HMS Bickerton. The attack left 37 dead and 11 survivors.
