SM UC-66 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 12 January 1916 and was launched on 15 July 1916. She was commissioned into the German Imperial Navy on 14 November 1916 as SM UC-66.[Note 1] In five patrols UC-66 was credited with sinking 32 ships, either by torpedo or by mines laid. UC-66 was sunk by HM seaplane No. 8656, a Curtiss Model H-12,[2] off the Isles of Scilly on 27 May 1917. The wreck was found by divers in 2009. This is a notable early aircraft success against a U-boat.[3]
Design
A Type UC II submarine, UC-66 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".. 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"..
