She destroyed USS Eagle 56 (PE-56) near Portland, Maine. Just days before Germany's surrender, U-853 torpedoed and sank the collier Black Point during the Battle of Point Judith. American warships quickly found U-853 and sank her east of Block Island, Rhode Island, resulting in the loss of her entire crew. U-853 is a popular deep sea diving site. She rests in of water.
