She was launched on 11 August 1944 and commissioned under the command of Leutnant zur See Heinrich Schlott on 1 September 1944.

Design
Like all Type XXIII U-boats, U-2329 had a displacement of 234 t when at the surface and 258 t while submerged. She had a total length of 34.68 m (o/a), a beam width of 3.02 m (o/a), and a draught depth of3.66 m. The submarine was powered by one MWM six-cylinder RS134S diesel engine providing 575 - 630 PS, one AEG GU4463-8 double-acting electric motor electric motor providing 580 PS, and one BBC silent running CCR188 electric motor providing 35 PS.

The submarine had a maximum surface speed of 9.7 kn and a submerged speed of 12.5 kn. When submerged, the boat could operate at 4 kn for 194 nmi; when surfaced, she could travel 2600 nmi at 8 kn. U-2329 was fitted with two 53.3 cm torpedo tubes in the bow. She could carry two preloaded torpedoes. The complement was 14–18 men. This class of U-boat did not carry a deck gun.

Service history
On 9 May 1945, U-2329 surrendered at Stavanger, Norway. She was later transferred to Loch Ryan, Scotland in June 1945. Of the 156 U-boats that eventually surrendered to the Allied forces at the end of the war, U-2329 was one of 116 selected to take part in Operation Deadlight. U-2329 was towed out to be sunk on 28 November 1945, by gunfire from the British destroyer HMS Onslow (G17) and the Polish destroyer ORP Piorun (G65).

The wreck now lies at 56.16667°N, -10.08333°W.
