German submarine U-2336 was a Type XXIII U-boat of the German Kriegsmarine during World War II. U-2336 had a very short career. She only conducted one war patrol and sank only three vessels, one of which was another German U-boat (U-2344). Despite her short time in service, U-2336 is known for sinking the last two Allied merchant ships to be lost to a submarine in the war when she torpedoed and sank the freighters Avondale Park and Sneland I off the Isle of May inside the Firth of Forth. Following the war, U-2336 was handed over to the Allies where she was taken to the British port of Lisahally and sunk in Operation Deadlight on 3 January 1946.
