Ralf-Reimar Wolfram (31 March 1912 – 9 February 1945) was a German Korvettenkapitän during World War II. During his career he commanded two U-boats for a total of 118 days at sea spanning four patrols. During his third patrol he successfully sunk the Robert Gray, an American Liberty class merchant ship. The Robert Gray was a part of American convoy HX-234 en route to London.
For Wolfram's fourth patrol, he commanded U-864 during Operation Caesar. He was killed when his submarine was sunk by the British submarine, HMS Venturer. This was the only known instance of one submerged submarine sinking another submerged submarine. U-864 remains Wolfram's grave to this day.
