Some boats are recorded as scuttled, while others have only a destruction date or an unspecified weapon. Surface ships carried out most of the sinkings, although aircraft and submarines also participated. Some boats were reportedly refloated to examine damage and then sunk again, with no claim that they returned to operational service. The total given for Deadlight is 116 of the 150 boats surrendered to the Allies, but the precise treatment of some individual boats remains uncertain.

Scuttling records and refloating for damage inspection
Deadlight records vary in detail, and some sinkings were followed by refloating to examine damage before final destruction.
