List Of U-boat Types
List of U-boat types contains lists of the German U-boat types ( submarine classes) used in World War I and World War II. The anglicized word ''U-boat'' is usually only used as reference for German submarines in the two World Wars and therefore postwar submarine in the Bundesmarine and later German Navy are not included. In the period between the two World Wars the Reichsmarine of the Weimar Republic was not allowed to build submarines according to the Treaty of Versailles; development was undertaken secretly through a Dutch company NV Ingenieurskantoor voor Scheepsbouw before the mid-1930s. The terms of the Anglo-German naval agreement acknowledged the official building of new U-boats. World War I This list contains the German U-boats types prior or during the First World War. World War II This list contains the German U-boats types prior or during the Second World War. See also *List of naval ships of Germany *List of naval ship classes of Germany References Ext ...

German Type U 151 Submarine
Type U 151 U-boats were a class of large, long-range submarines initially constructed during World War I to be merchant submarines and later used by the Kaiserliche Marine (Imperial German Navy). Background In addition to the cargo-carrying submarines and (disappeared on a cargo voyage in 1916 while it was still a merchant submarine), six further large cargo submarines were ordered, originally designed to ship material to and from locations otherwise denied German surface ships, such as the United States. On 16 December 1916, four under construction in the Reiherstieg and Flensburger Schiffbau yards were taken over by the navy and converted to military specification as Type U 151 U-boats, being designated to . The remaining two, along with ''Deutschland'', which became , passed into naval control in February 1917, as and . All were fitted with two bow torpedo tubes and could carry 18 torpedoes, with the exception of the former ''Deutschland'', which was fitted with six tubes ...

German Type U 139 Submarine
U-139, originally designated "Project 46", was a class of large, long-range U-boats built during World War I by the Kaiserliche Marine. Description Three large U-cruisers, designated Type 139, were ordered from Germaniawerft of Kiel, in August 1916. Displacing nearly 2,000 tons, and with a surface speed of , they were armed with 24 torpedoes and two 15 cm deck guns, and had a cruising range of around . They carried a large enough complement to furnish captured vessels with prize crews and their intended purpose was to capture or destroy merchant ships on the surface; their large-calibre deck guns and comparatively high speed allowed them to engage even armed merchant vessels. Unlike the earlier Type U-151 submarines (originally designed as merchant submarines to evade naval blockades), the Type 139 was designed from the outset for combat service. Four bow and two stern torpedo tubes were fitted, but the main armament was the two 15 cm deck guns, which could be laid o ...

German Type U 66 Submarine
The Type U 66 was a class of five submarines or U-boats operated by the German Imperial Navy (german: Kaiserliche Marine) during World War I. The class is alternately referred to as the ''U-66''-class or the Type UD. The class was built by Germaniawerft of Kiel to their 506d design as the ''U-7''-class for the Austro-Hungarian Navy. The five boats were sold to the Imperial Germany Navy at the beginning of World War I when it was thought impossible for the submarines to reach the Mediterranean for delivery to Austria-Hungary. The Austro-Hungarian Navy, after competitively evaluating six submarines of three foreign designs, selected the Germaniwerft 506d or Type UD design over a design from Whitehead & Co. for the ''U-7'' class. The boats, numbered ''U-7'' to ''U-11'', were designed to be long and displace between when surfaced and submerged. They were to be armed with five torpedo tubes and a deck gun. For propulsion the design called for twin diesel engines for surface ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
