SM U-90 was a Type U-87 U-boat of the Imperial German Navy during World War I.[4] Its commander Walter Remy made regular stops at remote island North Rona for provisions such as fresh mutton. On 15 May 1918, U-90 shelled the Hirta wireless station in St Kilda, Scotland. On 31 May 1918, U-90 torpedoed and sank Script error: No such module "WPSHIPS utilities"., a former Hamburg America Line steamer that had been seized by the United States for troop transportation. From the U.S. Navy crew that abandoned the sinking vessel, U-90 captured Lieutenant Edouard Izac, eventually taking him to Germany. Izac later escaped German captivity and reported to the US Navy about German submarine movements.
U-90 was surrendered to the Allies at Harwich on 20 November 1918 in accordance with the requirements of the Armistice with Germany, and later laid up at Pembroke. She was to be loaned to Belgium, and was en route there in tow from Pembroke when she foundered off the Isle of Wight on 29 November 1919.[5]
Design
Type U 87 submarines were preceded by the shorter Type U 81 submarines. U-90 had a displacement of Script error: No such module "convert". when at the surface and Script error: No such module "convert". while submerged.Script error: No such module "Footnotes".Script error: No such module "Check for unknown parameters". She had a total length of Script error: No such module "convert"., a pressure hull length of Script error: No such module "convert"., a beam of Script error: No such module "convert"., a height of Script error: No such module "convert"., and a draught of Script error: No such module "convert".. The submarine was powered by two Script error: No such module "convert". engines for use while surfaced, and two Script error: No such module "convert". engines for use while submerged. She had two propeller shafts. She was capable of operating at depths of up to Script error: No such module "convert"..Script error: No such module "Footnotes".Script error: No such module "Check for unknown parameters".
The submarine had a maximum surface speed of Script error: No such module "convert". and a maximum submerged speed of Script error: No such module "convert"..Script error: No such module "Footnotes".Script error: No such module "Check for unknown parameters". When submerged, she could operate for Script error: No such module "convert". at Script error: No such module "convert".; when surfaced, she could travel Script error: No such module "convert". at Script error: No such module "convert".. U-90 was fitted with four Script error: No such module "convert". torpedo tubes (two at the bow and two at the stern), ten to twelve torpedoes, and one Script error: No such module "convert". deck gun. She had a complement of thirty-six (thirty-two crew members and four officers).Script error: No such module "Footnotes".Script error: No such module "Check for unknown parameters".
