The uncertain drydock origin of a U-boat bunker

A cautious source-reading answer shows why ambiguous location notes cannot prove an exact shipyard claim.

Question

Was a German U-boat bunker built inside a construction dock intended for an H-class battleship?

Short answer

The bunker may have occupied the same site, but the evidence does not distinguish the exact dock from the same yard or city.

Notes

The available note says only that the bunker and dock were built in the same place. That does not establish whether they shared a city, a yard, or an individual slip, so the exact identification remains open.
