Germany completed fifteen UC I Type coastal minelayer submarines in 1915. All would be sunk or lost to grounding during the war.

Design

They were single hulled and could dive to 50m. They stored their mines in flooded tubes forward – a very unsafe arrangement.[1]

Torpedoes

  • one 45cm external tube aft in UC 11 only, in 1916[2]

Mines

  • Twelve UC 120 type mines[3]

Guns

  • one machine gun[4]
