Was a WW I sub. The site is just been designated a 'war grave'

Short service life for that boat. Commissioned 28 JUL 17, first patrol 02 SEP 17, sunk 07 OCT 17 - barely a month on patrol.

This sub was from WWI guys. I can't find an actual picture.

Damn, that looks like a good sized sub for WW1.

All the pictures are from the wrong war. The U-160 isn't even the right designation.

Quoted: All the pictures are from the wrong war. The U-160 isn't even the right designation. Well, that would explain my size comment then.

Well, GENESMITH did find a depiction of the right class anyway.

The U-106 in this story was a U-93-class U-boat.
From Wiki *: Displacement: 838 tons (surfaced)
1000 tons (submerged) 1270tons (total) Length: 71.55 m (overall) 56.05 m (pressure hull) Beam: 6.20 m (overall) 4.18 m (pressure hull) Draught: 3.94 m Propulsion: 2400 hp (surfaced) 1200 hp (submerged) Speed: 16.8 knots (surfaced) 9.1 knots (submerged) Range: 11,280 miles @ 8 kn(surfaced) 56 @ 5 kn miles (submerged) Test depth: ~50 m (164 feet) Complement: 39 men Armament: 16 torpedoes (4/2 in bow/stern tubes) 105mm deck gun with 140 ounds, and/or 1 8.8cm/30 gun, or 1 105mm gun (220 rounds) * - Note that the title of the Wiki page refers to a Type 97 U-Boat. No such thing. There was a U-97, but it was a Type U-93 boat. I think that the author of these related pages just got sloppy copying the template from the Type U-87 to the Type U-93 page. |
