Overview[edit]
The UB-165 was a German Type UB III submarine that served in the Imperial German Navy during World War I. It was part of the U-boat fleet that played a significant role in naval warfare during the conflict. The UB-165 was commissioned in 1918 and was one of the later models of the UB III class, which were known for their improved range and torpedo capacity compared to earlier models.
Design and Specifications[edit]
The UB-165 was designed as a coastal submarine with the capability to operate in the open sea. It had a displacement of approximately 500 tons when surfaced and 600 tons when submerged. The submarine was powered by two diesel engines for surface travel and two electric motors for underwater propulsion, allowing it to reach speeds of up to 13 knots on the surface and 7.5 knots submerged.
Armament[edit]
The UB-165 was equipped with:
- Four 50 cm torpedo tubes
- Ten torpedoes
- One 8.8 cm deck gun
This armament made it a formidable opponent against both merchant and military vessels.
Service History[edit]
The UB-165 was launched in early 1918 and commissioned into the Imperial German Navy shortly thereafter. It conducted several patrols in the North Sea and the Atlantic Ocean, targeting Allied shipping as part of the German naval blockade strategy. However, due to the late stage of the war, its operational impact was limited.
Fate[edit]
With the end of World War I in November 1918, the UB-165, like many other German submarines, was surrendered to the Allied Powers as part of the armistice agreement. The submarine was eventually dismantled and scrapped in the early 1920s.
Legacy[edit]
The UB-165, along with other U-boats of its class, represented the technological advancements in submarine warfare during World War I. The lessons learned from these submarines influenced the design and strategy of future submarine warfare in the 20th century.
