SM U 67 was a diesel-electric UD class submarine of the German Imperial Navy that was used in the First World War .
Calls
The submarine was ordered by the Austrian Navy before the start of the war , but was taken over by Germany on November 28, 1914. On May 15, 1915, the boat eventually ran as U 67 at the Germania shipyard in Kiel from the stack and was put into service on August 4 1915th The commanders of the submarine were Erich von Rosenberg-Gruszcynski (August 4, 1915 - March 15, 1916), Hans Nieland (March 16, 1916 - December 14, 1917), Hellmuth von Rabenau (December 15, 1917 - September 15 1918) and Woldemar Petri (October 26, 1918 - November 20, 1918). All sinkings were achieved under Lieutenant Captain Hans Nieland.
U 67 was assigned to the 4th U-Flotilla of the High Seas Armed Forces, which was stationed in Emden and on Borkum .
U 67 carried out 13 patrols in the eastern North Atlantic during the First World War . A total of 17 merchant ships from the Entente and neutral states with a total tonnage of approx. 39,693 GRT were sunk. The largest ship that was sunk was the British cargo ship Headley (approx. 5,000 GRT). The Headley was on 19 February 1917 its journey from Portland to London at about the position 49 ° 9 ' N , 6 ° 29' W sunk. The British merchant ship Idomeneus , which was torpedoed in the North Channel on September 15, 1917 , was significantly larger at almost 6,700 GRT, but could be repaired after being stranded. The smallest ship attacked by U 67 was the fishing boat Premier , measuring only 23 GRT , which was stopped and sunk off Scotland on November 27, 1917 - an example that small ships were also the prey of German U-boats.
Whereabouts
U 67 survived the First World War without being sunk itself. On November 20, 1918, the submarine was delivered to Great Britain and scrapped in Fareham in 1921 .
