SM UC-30

SM UC-30 was a German Type UC II minelaying submarine or U-boat in the German Imperial Navy (Kaiserliche Marine) during World War I. The U-boat was ordered on 29 August 1915 and was launched on 27 July 1916. She was commissioned into the German Imperial Navy on 22 August 1916 as SM UC-30. In 4 patrols UC-30 was credited with sinking 5 ships, either by torpedo or by mines laid. UC-30 was mined and sunk off Horns Reef on 21 April 1917. A Danish diving company claims to have identified a wreck originally found in 2005 as the UC-30. The wreck is located about 66 nautical miles straight west of Nymindegab (approx. 55.81667°N, 6.2°W) at a depth of 46 metres. The company intends to dive on the location in the summer of 2011.
