SM UB-130

SM UB-130 was a German Type UB III submarine or U-boat in the German Imperial Navy (German: Kaiserliche Marine) during World War I. She was commissioned into the German Imperial Navy on 28 June 1918 as SM UB-130.

UB-130 was surrendered to the Allies at Harwich on 26 November 1918 in accordance with the requirements of the Armistice with Germany. Early in 1919 she sank in tow to a French port off Hastings. In 2001 her deck gun was raised and restored for preservation in Newhaven.

Construction

She was built by AG Weser of Bremen and following just under a year of construction, launched at Bremen on 27 May 1918. UB-130 was commissioned later the same year under the command of Kptlt. Heinrich XXXVII Prinz Reuß zu Köstritz. Like all Type UB III submarines, UB-130 carried 10 torpedoes and was armed with a 10.5 cm (4.13 in) deck gun. UB-130 would carry a crew of up to 3 officer and 31 men and had a cruising range of 7,280 nautical miles (13,480 km; 8,380 mi). UB-130 had a displacement of 512 t (504 long tons) while surfaced and 643 t (633 long tons) when submerged. Her engines enabled her to travel at 13.9 knots (25.7 km/h; 16.0 mph) when surfaced and 7.6 knots (14.1 km/h; 8.7 mph) when submerged.
