SM UB 128 was a German submarine of the type UB III of the Imperial Navy during the First World War .
description
UB 128 was built by AG Weser in Bremen ( keel laid July 20, 1917, launched April 10, 1918) and put into service on May 11, 1918 under the command of Lieutenant Wilhelm Canaris .
Like all UB III submarines, UB-122 carried ten torpedoes and was armed with four bow torpedo tubes , a stern torpedo tube and a 10.5 cm deck gun. The crew consisted of 3 officers and 31 men. With two fuel oil bunkers (35 + 36 t fuel oil ) it had a range of 8,500 nm (15,742 km ) at 6 kn (11.1 km / h) when traveling over water . With one battery charge it was possible underwater at 4 kn (7 km / h) up to 55 nm (102 km). The maximum speed was 13.6 kn (25.2 km / h) surface and 8 kn (14.8 km / h) under water. The production costs amounted to 3,654,000 marks . The length of the boat was 55.3 m with a width of 5.8 m and a draft of 3.7 m. It had two drive shafts . A 6-cylinder Körting diesel engine with 550 hp (405 kW) for overwater travel and a Siemens-Schuckert electric motor with 394 hp (290 kW) for travel under water were coupled to each drive shaft. The approved diving depth was 50 meters and the diving time was 30 seconds.
Calls
During the first venture from August 3 to September 4, 1918, UB 128 steered from Kiel around the Faroe Islands towards the Mediterranean. On August 21, west of Lisbon, it sank the French steamer Champlain and then entered Cattaro .
The second operation from October 28 to November 29, 1918 came about because of the evacuation of the Adriatic bases: UB 128 had to march back. After it had narrowly escaped sinking near Gibraltar , UB 128 ran into Kiel on November 29, 1918 after a stopover in the Norwegian Kors Fjord, where the Mediterranean boats gathered.
Whereabouts
According to the armistice terms, the boat was delivered to Great Britain on December 3, 1918 and broken up in Falmouth in 1921 .
