SM UB-110

SM UB-110 was a German Type UB III submarine or U-boat in the German Imperial Navy (Kaiserliche Marine) during World War I. She was commissioned into the German Imperial Navy on 23 March 1918 as SM UB-110.

UB-110 was sunk 19 July 1918 by HMS Garry (1905), ML 49, and ML 263. 23 crew members died in the event. UB-110 was raised on 4 October 1918 and broken up in England.

A unsettling discovery during her salvage was that some of her torpedoes were fitted with magnetic firing pistols – the first such to be identified properly by the British. Luckily, these early examples were proving problematic, often detonating their weapons prematurely if at all.

Construction
She was built by Blohm & Voss of Hamburg and following just under a year of construction, launched at Hamburg on 1 September 1917. UB-110 was commissioned in the spring the next year. Like all Type UB III submarines, UB-110 carried 10 torpedoes and was armed with a 8.8 cm deck gun. UB-110 would carry a crew of up to 3 officer and 31 men and had a cruising range of 7420 nmi. UB-110 had a displacement of 519 t while surfaced and 649 t when submerged. Her engines enabled her to travel at 13.3 kn when surfaced and 7.4 kn when submerged.
