'''SM ''U-110''''' was a [[Type U 93 submarine|Type U 93]] [[U-boat]] of the [[German Imperial Navy]] ({{langx|de|Kaiserliche Marine}}) during [[World War I]].
She was ordered on 5 May 1916 and [[Ceremonial ship launching|launch]]ed on 28 July 1917. She was [[Ship commissioning|commission]]ed on 25 September 1917 as SM ''U-110''.<ref group=Note>"SM" stands for "Seiner Majestät" ({{langx|en|His Majesty's}}) and ''U'' for ''Unterseeboot''. This translates as ''His Majesty's Submarine''.</ref> and assigned to IV Flotilla of the [[High Seas Fleet]], based on the German North Sea coast.<ref>Tarrant p56</ref>

==Service history==
''U-110'' made three wartime patrols, and sank 10 ships, totalling {{GRT|26,963|disp=long}}. Her first success was the British [[Q ship]] {{HMS|Penshurst||2}}, with which she fought an engagement on 24 December 1917. ''Penshurst'' sank shortly after.

==Fate==
''U 110'' was sunk on 15 March 1918 north-west of [[Malin Head]] at {{coord|55|4|N|8|6|W|display=inline,title}}.{{citation needed|date=December 2022}} She was found and depth-charged by British destroyers ''Michael'' and ''Moresby''. 39 men were lost.<ref>Kemp</ref>

In September 1918, she was raised and taken to Swan Hunter's dry dock for restoration. At the conclusion of hostilities, restoration was halted and she was sold for scrap.
