The seahorse is known by seven submarines as an emblem, but five carried the seahorse on a shield and can be excluded with great probability.
Both submarines survived the war. U 776 arrived on 20.05.1945 in an English port and was sunk in Operation Deadlight. U 1231 arrived at Loch Foyle on 14.05.1945 and was handed over to Russia in 1947.
