SM UC-29 was a German Type UC II minelaying submarine or U-boat in the German Imperial Navy (Template:Langx) during World War I. The U-boat was ordered on 29 August 1915 and was launched on 15 July 1916. She was commissioned into the German Imperial Navy on 15 August 1916 as SM UC-29.[2][Note 1] In an eight-month career, the UC-29 performed seven combat patrols into the Atlantic Ocean during the German war on Allied trade (Handelskrieg). In these patrols she was very successful, sinking 18 allied ships, totalling 21,909 GRT. She also damaged 4 ships of 17,154 GRT. On 7 June 1917 she torpedoed the British Q-ship Script error: No such module "WPSHIPS utilities". off the Irish coast, but was ambushed by her hidden armaments when she approached too close and was sunk with 23 hands. Pargust was commanded by British submarine hunter Gordon Campbell and had on board Ronald Niel Stuart and William Williams, who were awarded the Victoria Cross for their actions in the engagement.
Her wreck lies in Cork Harbour, Ireland.[3]
Design
A Type UC II submarine, UC-29 had a displacement of Script error: No such module "convert". when at the surface and Script error: No such module "convert". while submerged. She had a length overall of Script error: No such module "convert"., a beam of Script error: No such module "convert"., and a draught of Script error: No such module "convert".. The submarine was powered by two six-cylinder four-stroke diesel engines each producing Script error: No such module "convert". (a total of Script error: No such module "convert".), two electric motors producing Script error: No such module "convert"., and two propeller shafts. She had a dive time of 48 seconds and was capable of operating at a depth of Script error: No such module "convert"..Template:Sfn
The submarine had a maximum surface speed of Script error: No such module "convert". and a submerged speed of Script error: No such module "convert".. 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".. UC-29 was fitted with six Script error: No such module "convert". mine tubes, eighteen UC 200 mines, three Script error: No such module "convert". torpedo tubes (one on the stern and two on the bow), seven torpedoes, and one Script error: No such module "convert".
