Design
A Type UC II submarine, UC-43 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"..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 submerged speed of Script error: No such module "convert"..
