Germany completed fifteen UC I Type coastal minelayer submarines in 1915. All but one would be sunk or lost to grounding during the war, and that last one would be scuttled at the very end.

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]
