SM U 112 was a diesel-electric submarine of the German Imperial Navy during the First World War .

construction

U 112 was commissioned on May 5, 1916. The Bremer Vulkanwerft in Vegesack took over the manufacture of the hull . It was completed at the Germania shipyard in Kiel , where the boat on October 26 in 1917 by the stack ran.

Commissioning

U 112 was only put into service on June 30, 1918. The boat was then assigned to the IV. U- Flotilla in Emden and Borkum . The first and only commanding officer was Kapitänleutnant Friedrich Petersen (June 30, 1918 to November 11, 1918).

U 112 did not carry out any patrols during the First World War and therefore could not sink or damage any ships.

Whereabouts

U 112 was delivered to the United Kingdom on November 22, 1918 . It was scrapped in Rochester in 1922 .
