From the Wikipedia article
HMS Graph (pennant number P715) was a German Type VIIC U-boat captured and recommissioned by the British Royal Navy during World War II. Commissioned as U-570 in Nazi Germany's Kriegsmarine in mid-1941, she was attacked and captured on her first patrol. She provided the Royal Navy and United States Navy with useful information about German submarines. Refitted for use by the Allies, she carried out three combat patrols with a Royal Navy crew, becoming the only U-boat to see active service with both sides during the war. She was withdrawn from service in 1944 due to problems maintaining her. While being towed to the breakers for scrapping, she ran aground on the Isle of Islay, off the west coast of Scotland. Some of the wreckage was removed as scrap but some remains to the present day.

Background
Architecture
The submarine was built to the German Type VIIC design. She had a displacement of 769 t when surfaced, and 871 t when submerged. The boat was 67.10 m long, with a beam of 6.2 m, and a draught of 4.74 m. The diesel-electric propulsion system provided a maximum speed of 18.8 kn surfaced or 7.6 kn submerged. The U-570 had a fuel capacity of 109 LT which gave a range of 7500 nmi at 10 kn. The test depth of the submarine was 230 m. She also carried several machine guns. Blohm & Voss laid down U-570 at Hamburg on 21 May 1940. The submarine was launched on 20 March 1941.
