Page "Strait of Gibraltar" Paragraph 28
from
Wikipedia
During the Second World War, German U-boats used the currents to pass into the Mediterranean Sea without detection, by maintaining silence with engines off.
All these boats had to navigate the British-controlled Strait of Gibraltar where nine U-boats were sunk while attempting passage and 10 more had to break off their run due to damages.
No U-boats ever made it back into the Atlantic and all were either sunk in battle or scuttled by their own crews.
