19-666: SM U-10 or U-X was the lead boat of the U-10 class of submarines for the Austro-Hungarian Navy ( German : Kaiserliche und Königliche Kriegsmarine or K.u.K. Kriegsmarine ) during World War I . She was originally a German Type UB I submarine commissioned into the German Imperial Navy ( German : Kaiserliche Marine ) as SM UB-1 . SM UB-1 was constructed in Germany and shipped by rail to Pola where she
38-452: A diesel engines providing a total power of 480 horsepower (360 kW) and two electric motors each providing 320 horsepower (240 kW) power. The use of its electric motors made the submarine travel at 11 knots (20 km/h; 13 mph). It would normally carry 16.4 long tons (16.7 t) of fuel and had a maximum capacity of 18 long tons (18 t). The submarine had a maximum surface speed of 13 knots (24 km/h; 15 mph) and
57-404: A single 120 shp (89 kW) electric motor for submerged travel. U-10 was capable of up to 6.5 knots (12.0 km/h; 7.5 mph) while surfaced and 5.5 knots (10.2 km/h; 6.3 mph) while submerged at a diving depth of up to 50 metres (160 ft). She was designed for a crew of 17 officers and men. U-10 was equipped with two 45 cm (17.7 in) torpedo tubes located in
76-415: A submerged speed of 11 knots (20 km/h; 13 mph). British H-class submarines had ranges of 1,600 nautical miles (3,000 km; 1,800 mi). H4 was fitted with a 6 pounds (2.7 kg) Hotchkiss quick-firing gun (6-pounder) and four 18 inches (460 mm) torpedo tubes . Its torpedo tubes were fitted to the bows and the submarine was loaded with eight 18 inches (460 mm) torpedoes. It
95-653: A theme by which vessels in the class are named, as in the Royal Navy 's Tribal-class frigates , named after tribes of the world, such as HMS Mohawk . If a ship class is produced for another navy, the first active unit will become the lead ship for that navy; for example, the Oliver Hazard Perry -class frigates are known as the Adelaide class in Royal Australian Navy service. HMS H4 HMS H4
114-514: The Adriatic on 23 May 1918. She was sold on 30 November 1921 in Malta . Like all pre- H11 British H-class submarines , H4 had a displacement of 364 long tons (370 t) at the surface and 434 long tons (441 t) while submerged. It had a total length of 150 feet 3 inches (45.8 m), a beam of 15 feet 4 inches (4.67 m), and a draught of 12 feet (3.7 m). It contained
133-627: The Austro-Hungarian Navy since the Imperial German Navy had reassembled UB3 , UB 8 , and UB 9 at the Pola Navy Yard . The first boat was bought on April 4, 1915, a "sample" UB 1 boat. This submarine was shipped by rail in sections to Pola , where the sections were riveted together. Though there is no record of how long it took for UB-1 ' s parts to be assembled, a sister boat, UB-3 , shipped from Germany in mid-April 1915,
152-465: The first one is completed, launched and tested. Nevertheless, building copies is still more efficient and cost effective than building prototypes , and the lead ship will usually be followed by copies with some improvements rather than radically different versions. The improvements will sometimes be retrofitted to the lead ship. Occasionally, the lead ship will be launched and commissioned for shakedown testing before following ships are completed, making
171-485: The front and carried a complement of two torpedoes. German Type UB I submarines were additionally equipped with a 8 mm (0.31 in) machine gun , but it is not clear from sources if U-10 , as a former German boat, was either equipped with one or, if so, retained it in Austro-Hungarian service. In October 1916, U-10 ' s armament was supplemented with a 37-mm/23 (1.5 in) quick-firing (QF) gun. This gun
190-503: The lead ship a combination of template and prototype, rather than expending resources on a prototype that will never see actual use. Ship classes are typically named in one of two ways; echoing the name of the lead ship, such as the Pennsylvania -class battleships , whose lead ship was USS Pennsylvania , and the Olympic class , whose lead ship was RMS Olympic , or defining
209-440: The same general design . The term is applicable to naval ships and large civilian vessels. Large ships are very complex and may take five to ten years to build. Improvements based on experience with building and operating the lead ship are likely to be incorporated into the design or construction of later ships in the class, so it is rare to have vessels that are identical. The second and later ships are often started before
SECTION 10
#1732877008436228-579: Was a British H-class submarine built by the Canadian Vickers Co., Montreal . She was laid down on 11 January 1915 and was commissioned on 5 June 1915. After her commissioning, HMS H4 and sister ships H1 , H2 and H3 crossed the Atlantic from St. John's , Newfoundland to Gibraltar being escorted by the armed merchant cruiser HMS Calgarian . H4 sank the U-boat UB-52 in
247-418: Was apparently too wide, because the captain of H4 observed the torpedoes miss just ahead and just astern of U-10 . On 9 July 1918, U-10 hit an Italian mine near Caorle in the northern Adriatic Sea at position 45°30′N 13°00′E / 45.500°N 13.000°E / 45.500; 13.000 , and was beached with heavy damage. Although she was looted by Austro-Hungarian Army troops, she
266-606: Was assembled and launched in January 1915. She was commissioned into the German Imperial Navy later that same month and sank an Italian torpedo boat in June. The boat was handed over to Austria-Hungary and commissioned as SM U-10 in July. In May 1917, U-10 was fired upon by a British submarine, but both of the torpedoes that were launched missed. In July 1918, U-10 hit a mine and
285-511: Was assembled in about two weeks. SM UB-1 was commissioned into the German Imperial Navy under the command of Oberleutnant zur See Franz Wäger on 29 January. An Austro-Hungarian Navy officer was assigned to the boat for piloting and training purposes. On 26 June 1915, UB-1 sank an Italian torpedo boat 5 PN in the Gulf of Venice . On 4 June 1915, after being disassembled into three sections and transported by rail to Pola for reassembling, UB-1
304-436: Was beached with heavy damage. She was towed to Trieste for repairs which remained unfinished at the war's end. U-10 was handed over to Italy as a war reparation and scrapped in 1920. U-10 was a small, coastal submarine that displaced 127 tonnes (125 long tons) surfaced and 142 tonnes (140 long tons) submerged. She featured a single shaft, a single 60 bhp (45 kW) Daimler diesel engine for surface running, and
323-407: Was handed over to the Austro-Hungarian Navy and commissioned as U-10 under the command of Linienschiffsleutnant Karl Edler von Unczowski. British submarine H4 had an encounter with U-10 on 11 May 1917. While cruising off Pola, H4 came across U-10 and fired a spread of two torpedoes at the submarine. The torpedoes were aimed to be 5° apart at a distance of 365 metres (400 yd) which
342-419: Was later towed to Trieste for repairs, which remained unfinished at war's end; all of the 13 crew personnel were saved. U-10 was handed over to Italy as a war reparation and scrapped at Pola by 1920. U-10 sank no ships in her Austro-Hungarian service. Lead ship The lead ship , name ship , or class leader is the first of a series or class of ships that are all constructed according to
361-602: Was replaced by a 47 mm (1.9 in) /33 QF gun in November 1917. Construction of UB-1 was started on 1 November 1914 at Germaniawerft in Kiel . After her assembly was complete UB-1 was launched on 22 January 1915. After extended negotiations between Austria-Hungary and Germany, in March 1915 it was decided for Germany to supply five submarines of the UB I type. This model was familiar to
